οἱ μαθηταὶ
the disciples
Here Matthew continues to refer to Peter, James, and John, the three disciples who went up on the mountain with Jesus. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “Peter, James, and John”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
περὶ Ἰωάννου τοῦ Βαπτιστοῦ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς
concerning John the Baptist ˱he˲_spoke ˱to˲_them
Here Matthew implies that the disciples realized that Jesus was using the name “Elijah” to refer to John the Baptist. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “when he was talking about Elijah, he was speaking to them about John the Baptist” or “he was saying that Elijah was John the Baptist”
17:10-13 Elijah’s presence at the transfiguration prompted a question about the view that Elijah must return before the Messiah comes (see Mal 4:5-6). In pointing to John the Baptist, Jesus reinforced the unexpected idea that the Messiah must suffer, even as his precursor had suffered (Matt 14:3-12).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
