SEV Biblia, Chapter 9:11
Y le preguntaron, diciendo: ¿Qu es lo que los escribas dicen, que es necesario que Elías venga antes?
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 11. And they asked him, saying , etc..] Being put in mind of it, by seeing Elias on the mount, or else by what Christ had said concerning his resurrection, or both: why say the Scribes , the Vulgate Latin adds, and Pharisees, that Elias must first come ? before the Messiah comes, or before the setting up his kingdom in greater glory; (see Gill on Matthew 17:10).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-13 - Here is a prediction of the near approach Christ's kingdom. A glimps of that kingdom was given in the transfiguration of Christ. It is goo to be away from the world, and alone with Christ: and how good to be with Christ glorified in heaven with all the saints! But when it is well with us, we are apt not to care for others, and in the fulness of our enjoyments, we forget the many wants of our brethren. God own Jesus, and accepts him as his beloved Son, and is ready to accept us in him. Therefore we must own and accept him as our beloved Saviour, an must give up ourselves to be ruled by him. Christ does not leave the soul, when joys and comforts leave it. Jesus explained to the disciple the prophecy about Elias. This was very suitable to the ill usage of John Baptist.
