Context of Matthew 17:18

16I brought the boy to your disciples, but they could not make him well.’ 17Jesus replied, ‘You people today still do not believe in God. You have turned away from him. I have been with you for a long time and still you do not believe. It is difficult for me to be patient with you.’ Then Jesus said to the man, ‘Bring the boy here to me.’ Jesus said to the bad spirit, ‘Stop!’ Then the bad spirit left the boy and immediately he became well again. 19When the disciples were alone with Jesus, they asked him, ‘Why could we not make the bad spirit leave the boy?’ 20Jesus replied, ‘You could not do it because you do not trust God very much. I tell you this: You may believe in God only a little bit, like a very small seed. Even then, you could say to this mountain, “Go away from this place and move to that other place.” Then it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you to do.’ [

Commentaries on Matthew 17:18

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 18Jesus rebuked the devil - Deprived him of all power to torment the child; and obliged him to abandon his present usurped habitation. There are some souls whose cure God reserves to himself alone, and to whom all the applications of his ministers appear to be utterly ineffectual. He sometimes does all without them, that they may know they can never do any good without him. Quesnel.Read the comment
