Defender: Mar 9:13 - written of him

Since neither of the Old Testament prophecies of the coming of John the Baptist predict his rejection and martyrdom (Isa 40:3, Mal 3:1), this statement ("it is written of him") must refer only to the phrase "is indeed come." John came as a herald of Elijah's future coming but not as the complete fulfillment of Malachi's prophecy (Mal 4:5), for Christ also said that Elijah was still to come, even after John had died (Mat 17:11; see notes on Mat 17:10-12)."

Poole: Mar 9:11-13

Ver. 11-13. Christ had been telling his disciples that he should suffer. The Jews had a prophecy, not only that the Messias should come, but that he should be cut off, but not for himself, Dan 9:26 . Only this hindered the certainty of their persuasion that Christ was he, because Elias was not yet come, whom they did expect, Mal 4:5 ; for they expected the coming of Elias in person, whereas the prophecy was to be understood of one in the spirit and power of Elias, as the angel expounded it, Luk 1:17 . They also expected that Elias, when he came, should make a great change in their world, and bring all things again into order; but still their eye was upon a secular change, and a restoring of them to that liberty of their country which they formerly enjoyed, whereas the prophecy, Mal 4:6 , is expounded by the angel, Luk 1:16,17 , And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God. — to turn the hearts of the fathers unto the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord. The disciples, being Jews, were under the prejudices of these notions about Elias, so commonly received by the doctors of their church and the generality of their people. To this our Saviour answers, The thing was true, Elias (that is, one in the spirit and power of Elias) was, according to the prophecy of Malachi, to come before the Messias; but they had overlooked him, for indeed this Elias was come, Mat 11:14 , and by his preaching the doctrine of repentance for the remission of sins had endeavoured to restore all things, that is, to make a great change in the hearts and lives of the Jews, but they had put him to death. He further telleth them, that John had told them of the Son of man, that he must suffer many things, and be set at nought. He did indeed tell them so, when he pointed to him passing by, and said, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away (or taketh up or beareth) the sins of the world, Joh 1:29 . So that this was no just prejudice to their believing that he was the true Messiah.

Gill: Mar 9:13 - But I say unto you, that Elias is indeed come // And they have done unto him whatsoever they listed // it is written of him

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; See Gill on Mat 17:12; 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 Mal 4:5 and which had had their accomplishment.
