Mattityahu 17:9-17 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

9. And as Moshiach's talmidim were coming down from the mountain, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach gave them this directive saying, Tell the mareh (vision) to no one until the Ben HaAdam [Moshiach] has undergone the Techiyas HaMoshiach.

10. And Moshiach's talmidim asked him, saying, Why then do the Sofrim say that it is necessary for Eliyahu HaNavi to come first?

11. And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said in reply, Eliyahu HaNavi does indeed have his coming and will restore all things.

12. But I say to you, that Eliyahu has come already, and they did not have daas of him, but did to him whatever they willed [Mt 6:10]. So also the Ben HaAdam [Moshiach] is about to suffer by them.

13. Then the Moshiach's talmidim had binah that he spoke to them about Yochanan of the tevilah of teshuva.

14. And when they came to the multitude, a man came up to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, falling down before him.

15. And the man said, Adoni, grant rachamim (mercy) on this ben (son) of mine, for he is an epileptic, and suffers horribly; for often he falls into the eish, and often into the mayim.

16. And I brought him to your talmidim, and they could not give him refuah.

17. And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said in reply, O perverted generation without emunah, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring him here to me.
