Contextual Overview
1 And he said to them, "I tell you the truth, there are some standing here who will not experience death before they see the kingdom of God come with power." 2 Six days later Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John and led them alone up a high mountain privately. And he was transfigured before them, 3 and his clothes became radiantly white, more so than any launderer in the world could bleach them. 4 Then Elijah appeared before them along with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus. 5 So Peter said to Jesus, "Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let us make three shelters—one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah." 6 (For they were afraid, and he did not know what to say.) 7 Then a cloud overshadowed them, and a voice came from the cloud, "This is my one dear Son. Listen to him!" 8 Suddenly when they looked around, they saw no one with them any more except Jesus. 9 As they were coming down from the mountain, he gave them orders not to tell anyone what they had seen until after the Son of Man had risen from the dead. 10 They kept this statement to themselves, discussing what this rising from the dead meant.

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.
