Mark 9:11-13

Living Bible

¹¹ Now they began asking him about something the Jewish religious leaders often spoke of, that Elijah must return before the Messiah could come.^{[a] 12-13} Jesus agreed that Elijah must come first and prepare the way—and that he had, in fact, already come! And that he had been terribly mistreated, just as the prophets had predicted. Then Jesus asked them what the prophets could have been talking about when they predicted that the Messiah^[b] would suffer and be treated with utter contempt.
