# Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?
|
|
|
|
Prophecy foretold that Elijah would come again from heaven. Then the Messiah, who is the Son of Man, would come to rule and reign. The disciples are confused about how the Son of Man could die and rise again. Alternate translation: "Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come before the Messiah comes?" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])
