Mark 9:13-15

Living Bible

^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^[a] would suffer and be treated with utter contempt.

¹⁴ At the bottom of the mountain they found a great crowd surrounding the other nine disciples, as some Jewish leaders argued with them. ¹⁵ The crowd watched Jesus in awe as he came toward them, and then ran to greet him.
