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

But I say unto you, that Elias is indeed come,.... Meaning John the Baptist, who in prophecy is designed by him.

And they have done unto him whatsoever they listed;

:-; which words should be read in a parenthesis, as they are in the Vulgate Latin version; for what follows, as

it is written of him, respects not what the Scribes and Pharisees, and the people of the Jews did to John at their pleasure; despising his ministry and message, rejecting the counsel of God delivered by him, and remaining impenitent and unbelieving, notwithstanding his powerful and awakening ministry, with many other things, which are no where written of him; but the words regard his coming, and the prophecies concerning him, and particularly, that under the name of Elijah, in Malachi 4:5 and which had had their accomplishment.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Why say the scribes ... - See the notes at Matthew 17:10-13.
