"And they asked him, saying, Why say the scribes that Elias must first come?"
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
And they asked him, saying,.... 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 Mat 17:10 .
