12 But I tell you, Elijah has already come. People did not know who he was. They did to him everything they wanted to do. It will be the same with the Son of Man. Those same people will make the Son of Man suffer.”
13 Then the followers understood that Jesus was talking about John the Baptist.
14 Jesus and his followers went back to the crowd. A man came to Jesus and bowed before him.
15 The man said, “Lord, please help my son. He has epilepsy and is suffering very much. He often falls into the fire or into the water.
16 I brought him to your followers, but they could not cure him.”
17 Jesus answered, “You people have no faith. Your lives are all wrong. How long must I stay with you? How long must I continue to be patient with you? Bring the boy here.”
18 Jesus gave a strong command to the demon inside the boy. Then the demon came out, and the boy was healed.
