Charles Spurgeon Commentary Matthew 17:9-10

"And as they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen from the dead. And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elijah must first come?" — Matthew 17:9-10 (ASV)

"Are we not to tell the story of what has happened on this mountain? Elias has come. If we publish this news, it may convince even the scribes that you are the Messiah."
