Matthew 17:11-13
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
11 And the One, having responded, said, “Elijah is coming[a] and will restore all things— 12 but I say to you that Elijah already came. And they did not recognize him, but did with[b] him whatever they wanted. So also the Son of Man is going to suffer by them”. 13 Then the disciples understood that He spoke to them about John the Baptist.

- Matthew 17:11 coming... came. Jesus may mean Elijah is coming in the future, but already came in John the Baptist; there are two comings of Elijah, just as with the Messiah. Or, the scribes rightly teach that Elijah is coming, but in fact he has already come in John; just as Jesus was not what the Jews expected, so with Elijah. Compare Mk 9:12.
