11. And they questioned Him, saying, “Why do the Torah scholars say that Elijah must come first?”
12. Now He told them, “Indeed Elijah comes first; he restores all things. And how is it written that the Son of Man must suffer much and be treated with contempt?
13. I tell you that Elijah has come, and they did to him whatever they wanted, just as it is written about him.”
14. When they came to the disciples, they saw a big crowd around them and the Torah scholars arguing with them.
15. Suddenly, when the whole crowd saw Yeshua, they were amazed and began running to greet Him.
16. He questioned them, “What are you arguing about with them?”
17. And a man from the crowd answered Him, “Teacher, I brought You my son, who has a spirit that makes him mute.
18. Whenever it seizes him, it throws him down; he foams at the mouth, grinds his teeth, and becomes stiff. I told Your disciples to drive it out, but they couldn’t!”
19. And answering them, He said, “Oh faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring him to Me.”
20. They brought the boy to Yeshua. When the spirit saw Him, immediately it threw the boy into a convulsion. The boy fell to the ground and began rolling around and foaming at the mouth.
21. Yeshua asked the father, “How long has this been happening to him?” “Since he was a child,” the man answered.
22. “It has often thrown him into fire or water to destroy him. But if You can do anything, have compassion and help us!”
