11
And they asked Him, saying, "Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?"
12

13

14
And when He came to the disciples, He saw a great multitude around them, and scribes disputing with them.
15
Immediately, when they saw Him, all the people were greatly amazed, and running to Him, greeted Him.
16
And He asked the scribes, "What are you discussing with them?"
17

Then they brought him to Him. And when he saw Him, immediately the spirit convulsed him, and he fell on the ground and wallowed, foaming at the mouth.
