Contextual Overview
1 Jesus kept on a talkin', "There are some cowboys who are right here who will not die before they see the awesome display of God's outfit."
2Six days later, Jesus took along Pete, James, and John. They rode up on a high mountain to be alone. As they were sitting there, Jesus's appearance transformed before their very eyes.
3His clothes became so white they almost blinded 'em.
4Then the great cowboys of old, Elijah and Moses, walked up and started talking to Jesus.
5Pete jumped up quickly and said, "Hey boss! What do you think about us making a memorial about this day? I could make one for you, one for Elijah, and one for old Moses."
6Pete only said this because when he got scared, he usually just ran-off at the mouth. But he wasn't the only one who was scared of what he was seeing.
7Then a cloud seemed to pass over them all and a voice came from it saying, "This is my Boy, the Son who I love. When he says something, you'd all best listen."
8And as quick as that, everyone looked around and Elijah and Moses were gone. Only Jesus and his three cowboys were left.
9As they rode back down, Jesus told 'em not to tell anyone about what they'd seen until he'd been killed and had come back from the dead.
10The three cowboys agreed, but from time to time they asked each other what they thought he meant by, "Come back from 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.
