Justin Edwards' Family Bible NT (1851)

Mark 9:12

Restoreth all things; the word "restore," used also in Matthew 17:11, is taken from the Septuagint version of Malachi 4:6 : "Who Elias shall restore the heart of father to son," etc.: that is, bring them back to their former state of union in God's service. For the meaning of this prophecy, see note on Malachi 4:6.

And how it is written; the coming of Elias fulfils the prophecy concerning him, and also brings in its train the accomplishment of the sufferings predicted of the Son of man.
