## Matthew 17:12 in Context (Verses 9–15 KJV)
 
 [9 ](/kjv/matthew/17/9) And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead.
 
 [10 ](/kjv/matthew/17/10) And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come?
 
 [11 ](/kjv/matthew/17/11) And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things.
 
 [12 ](/kjv/matthew/17/12) But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them.
 
 [13 ](/kjv/matthew/17/13) Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist.
 
 [14 ](/kjv/matthew/17/14) ¶ And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a *certain* man, kneeling down to him, and saying,
 
 [15 ](/kjv/matthew/17/15) Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is lunatick, and sore vexed: for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, and oft into the water.
 
[Matthew 16](/kjv/matthew/16) [Matthew 18](/kjv/matthew/18)
