Exegesis
The circumstantial participle clause elthōn prōton {ἐλθὼν πρῶτον | el-thō̂n prō̂-ton} ‘when he comes first’ modifies the main verb apokathistanei {ἀποκαθιστάνει | a-po-ka-this-tá-nay} ‘restores,’ expressing Elijah’s eschatological task of renewing panta {πάντα | pán-ta} ‘all things.’
In context — Mark 9:12
And He said to them, “Elijah does come first and restores all things; then why is it written concerning the Son of Man that He must suffer many things and be despised?”
