Mark 9:11-13

9:11 Then they asked him, “Why do the experts in the law say that Elijah must come first?” 9:12 He said to them, “Elijah does indeed come first, and restores all things. And why is it written that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be despised? 9:13 But I tell you that Elijah has certainly come, and they did to him whatever they wanted, just as it is written about him.”

tn Grk “And they were asking him, saying.” The participle λέγοντες (legontes) is redundant and has not been translated.

tn Or “Why do the scribes.” See the note on the phrase “experts in the law” in 1:22.
