10. They kept that statement to themselves, questioning each other what the rising from the dead meant.
11. And they asked Him, “Why do the scribes say that Elijah must first come?”
12. He answered, “Elijah indeed comes first to restore all things. Yet how is it written of the Son of Man that He should suffer many things and be treated with contempt?
13. But I say to you that Elijah has indeed come, and they have done to him whatever they wished, as it is written of him.”
14. When He came to His other disciples, He saw a great crowd around them, and the scribes disputing with them.
15. Immediately when all the people saw Him, they were greatly amazed, and running to Him, greeted Him.
16. He asked the scribes, “What are you debating with them?”
17. One in the crowd answered, “Teacher, I brought You my son, who has a mute spirit.
18. Wherever it takes hold on him, it dashes him to the ground. And he foams at the mouth and gnashes with his teeth and becomes rigid. And I told Your disciples so that they would cast it out, but they could not.”
