Contextual Overview
1 And he was saying to them: Verily, say unto you - There, are, certain of those here standing, who shall in nowise taste of death, until they see the kingdom of God, already come in power. 2 And, after six days, Jesus taketh with him Peter and James and John, and bringeth them up into a high mountain, apart, alone, - and he was transformed before them; 3 and his garments became brilliant, exceeding white, such as, no fuller on the earth, is able, so, to whiten. 4 And there appeared unto them Elijah, with Moses, - and they were conversing with Jesus. 5 And Peter, answering, saith unto Jesus - Rabbi! it is, delightful, for us to be, here, - let us therefore make three tents, for thee, one, and, for Moses, one, and, for Elijah, one; 6 for he knew not what he should answer, for, greatly affrighted, had they become. 7 And there came a cloud, overshadowing them, and there came a voice, out of the cloud, - This is, my Son, the Beloved, Be hearkening unto him. 8 And, suddenly looking round, no longer, saw they, anyone, with them, save, Jesus only. 9 And, as they were coming down out of the mountain, he charged them, that, unto no one, they should narrate what they had seen, save whenever the Son of man, from among the dead should arise. 10 And, the word, they held fast unto themselves, discussing what was, the rising from among the dead.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And he answered, and told them,.... Allowing that their observation was right, and that this was the sense of the Scribes, and that there was something of truth in it, when rightly understood:
Elias verily cometh first, and restoreth all things:
:-;
and how it is written of the son of man, that he must suffer many things, and be set at nought. The sense of Christ is, that John the Baptist, whom he means by Elias, comes first, and restores all things: and among the rest of the things he sets right, this is one, and not of the least; namely, that he gives the true sense of such passages of the sacred writings, which related to the contemptuous usage, rejection, and sufferings of the Messiah; as that in these he was the Lamb of God typified in the sacrifices of the law, who by his sufferings and death takes away the sin, of the world; and therefore he exhorted and directed those to whom he ministered, to look unto him, and believe in him; see John 1:29.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Mark 9:12. And how it is written — Rather, as also it is written. Instead of και ÏÏÏ, AND HOW it is written, I read καθÏÏ, AS ALSO it is written of the Son of man, &c. This reading is supported by AKM, seventeen others, the later Syriac in the margin, Slavonic and Armenian. Some think the propriety of adopting this reading is self-evident.
