Mateus 17:13 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 17:13

Then the disciples understood
By his saying that Elias was come, and by the account he gave of his ill usage, it was clear to them,

that he spake unto them of John the Baptist;
and that he was the Elias that was to come, and was come: so that this observation, that according to prophecy Elias was to come before the Messiah, was no objection to Jesus being the Messiah; but on the contrary, since he that was intended by Elias was come, and had done his work and office, it was a confirmation of the truth of his Messiahship.

Mateus 17:13 In-Context

11 Respondeu ele: Na verdade Elias havia de vir e restaurar todas as coisas;

12 digo-vos, porém, que Elias já veio, e não o reconheceram; mas fizeram-lhe tudo o que quiseram. Assim também o Filho do homem há de padecer �s mãos deles.

13 Então entenderam os discípulos que lhes falava a respeito de João, o Batista.

14 Quando chegaram � multidão, aproximou-se de Jesus um homem que, ajoelhando-se diante dele, disse:

15 Senhor, tem compaixão de meu filho, porque é epiléptico e sofre muito; pois muitas vezes cai no fogo, e muitas vezes na água.
