The Gospel of Matthew 11:2-18:35

26. And (as they were) coming down out of the mountain Jesus enjoined them saying “Do not tell anyone about the vision until the Son of man has been raised out of the dead.” His disciples questioned him saying “Why do the scribes say that it is fitting that Elias comes first (before the Christ)." He answering said “Elias indeed is coming and will restore all things. But I tell you that Elias already came and they did not recognize him But they did to him whatever they wanted. So also the Son of man is about to suffer from them.” Then the disciples realised that he was talking about John the Baptist. 17:9-13

27. (When) they were coming near the crowd a man approached him and falling on his knees before him was saying. “Lord have pity on me because my son is moonstruck and has an illness. Often he falls into the fire and often into the water. I brought him to your disciples and they were not able to heal him.” Answering Jesus said. “Oh unbelieving and perverted generation how long will I have to put up with you? Bring him to me here.” And when Jesus rebuked it the demon came out of him and the boy was healed from that hour. On approaching Jesus privately, the disciples said “Why were we not able to expel it?” And he said to them. “Because of your small faith. Truly I say to you, if you have faith as small as a grain of mustard you will say to this mountain “Remove from here and it will be removed. Nothing will be impossible to you.” 17:14-20
