Matthew 17:9-16 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

9. And as they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them saying, “Tell no one the vision until the Son of Man is raised from the dead.”

10. And the disciples asked him, saying, “Then why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”

11. And he answered and said, “Elijah indeed is coming, and will restore all things.

12. But I say to you that Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him, but did with him whatever they wanted. In the same way also the Son of Man is going to suffer at their hands.”

13. Then the disciples understood that he had spoken to them about John the Baptist.

14. And when they came to the crowd, a man approached him, kneeling down before him

15. and saying, “Lord, have mercy on my son, because he has seizures and suffers severely, for often he falls into the fire and often into the water.

16. And I brought him to your disciples, and they were not able to heal him.”
