Matthew 17:9-21

91As they were comingG2597 downG2597 from the mountainG3735, JesusG2424 commandedG1781 them, sayingG3004, “2TellG3004 the visionG3705 to noG3367 oneG3367 untilG2193 3the SonG5207 of ManG444 has 4risenG1453 from the deadG3498.” 10And His disciplesG3101 askedG1905 Him, “WhyG5101 thenG3767 do the scribesG1122 sayG3004 that 5ElijahG2243 mustG1163 comeG2064 firstG4413?” 11And He answeredG611 and saidG3004, “ElijahG2243 is comingG2064 and will restoreG600 allG3956 thingsG3956; 12but I sayG3004 to you that ElijahG2243 alreadyG2235 cameG2064, and they did not recognizeG1921 him, but didG4160 6to him whateverG3745 they wishedG2309. SoG3779 alsoG2532 7the SonG5207 of ManG444 is goingG3195 to sufferG3958 8at their handsG5259.” 13ThenG5119 the disciplesG3101 understoodG4920 that He had spokenG3004 to them aboutG4012 JohnG2491 the BaptistG910.

149When they cameG2064 to the crowdG3793, a manG444 cameG4334 up to Jesus, fallingG1120 on his kneesG1120 beforeG1120 Him and sayingG3004, 15“10LordG2962, haveG1653 mercyG1653 on my sonG5207, for he is a 1112lunaticG4583 and is veryG2560 illG2192G2560; for he oftenG4178 fallsG4098 into the fireG4442 and oftenG4178 into the waterG5204. 16I broughtG4374 him to Your disciplesG3101, and they couldG1410 not cureG2323 him.” 17And JesusG2424 answeredG611 and saidG3004, “You unbelievingG571 and pervertedG1294 generationG1074, howG2193 longG2193G4219 shall I be with you? HowG2193 longG2193G4219 shall I putG430 up with you? BringG5342 him hereG5602 to Me.” 18And JesusG2424 rebukedG2008 him, and the demonG1140 cameG1831 out of him, and the boyG3816 was curedG2323 13at onceG1565G5610.

19ThenG5119 the disciplesG3101 cameG4334 to JesusG2424 privatelyG2596G2398 and saidG3004, “WhyG1223G5101 couldG1410 we not driveG1544 it out?” 20And He saidG3004 to them, “BecauseG1223 of the littlenessG3640 of your faithG3640; for trulyG281 I sayG3004 to you, 14ifG1437 you haveG2192 faithG4102 15the sizeG5613 of 16a mustardG4615 seedG2848, you will sayG3004 to 17thisG3778 mountainG3735, ‘MoveG3327 from hereG1759 to thereG1563,’ and it will moveG3327; and 18nothingG3762 will be impossibleG101 to you. 21[1920But thisG3778 kindG1085 does not goG1607 out exceptG1508 by prayerG4335 and fastingG3521.”]
