11 And they asked Jesus, “Why do the teachers of the Law say that Elijah has to come first?”
12 His answer was, “Elijah is indeed coming first in order to get everything ready. Yet why do the Scriptures say that the Son of Man will suffer much and be rejected?
13 I tell you, however, that Elijah has already come and that people treated him just as they pleased, as the Scriptures say about him.”
14 When they joined the rest of the disciples, they saw a large crowd round them and some teachers of the Law arguing with them.
15 When the people saw Jesus, they were greatly surprised, and ran to him and greeted him.
16 Jesus asked his disciples, “What are you arguing with them about?”
17 A man in the crowd answered, “Teacher, I brought my son to you, because he has an evil spirit in him and cannot talk.
