Mat 17:11

Mat 17:11And he answered and said, Elijah indeed cometh, and shall restore all things:

Mat 17:12

Mat 17:12but I say unto you, that Elijah is come already, and they knew him not, but did unto him whatsoever they would. Even so shall the Son of man also suffer of them.

The Demoniac

(Mar 9:14–29; Luk 9:37–42 )

Mat 17:14

Mat 17:14And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a man, kneeling to him, and saying,

Mat 17:15

Mat 17:15Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is epileptic, and suffereth grievously; for oft-times he falleth into the fire, and oft-times into the water.

Mat 17:16

Mat 17:16And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him.

Mat 17:17

Mat 17:17And Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I bear with you? bring him hither to me.

Mat 17:18And Jesus rebuked him; and the demon went out of him: and the boy was cured from that hour.

Mat 17:19

Mat 17:19Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast it out?

Mat 17:20

Mat 17:20And he saith unto them, Because of your little faith: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.

Mat 17:21

Mat 17:21[fn]But this kind goeth not out save by prayer and fasting.

Mat 17:22And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The Son of man shall be delivered up into the hands of men;

Mat 17:23

Mat 17:23and they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised up. And they were exceeding sorry.

The Tribute Money

Mat 17:24

Mat 17:24And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received the half-shekel came to Peter, and said, Doth not your teacher pay the half-shekel?

Mat 17:25

Mat 17:25He saith, Yea. And when he came into the house, Jesus spake first to him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? the kings of the earth, from whom do they receive toll or tribute? from their sons, or from strangers?

Mat 17:26

Mat 17:26And when he said, From strangers, Jesus said unto him, Therefore the sons are free.

Mat 17:27

Mat 17:27But, lest we cause them to stumble, go thou to the sea, and cast a hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a shekel: that take, and give unto them for me and thee.
