Gospel according to Matthew

As they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, "Don't tell anyone what you saw, until the Son of Man has risen from the dead."

His disciples asked him, saying, "Then why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?

Jesus answered them, "Elijah indeed comes first, and will restore all things,

but I tell you that Elijah has come already, and they didn't recognize him, but did to him whatever they wanted to. Even so the Son of Man will also suffer by them."

Then the disciples understood that he spoke to them of John the Baptizer.

When they came to the multitude, a man came to him, kneeling down to him, saying,

"Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is epileptic, and suffers grievously; for he often falls into the fire, and often into the water.

So I brought him to your disciples, and they could not cure him."
