Context of Matthew 17:14
12But I say to you, That Elijah is come already, and they knew him not, but have done to him whatever they desired. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer by them. 13Then the disciples understood that he spoke to them concerning John the Baptist. And when they had come to the multitude, there came to him a certain man, kneeling down to him, and saying, 15Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is lunatic, and greatly distressed: for often he falleth into the fire, and often into the water. 16And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him.

- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 14And when they were come to the multitude - This took place on the day following the transfiguration, Luke 9:37.

It encourages parents to bring children to Christ, whose souls are…Read the comment
