Mateo 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.

Mateo 17:13 In-Context

11 —Sin duda Elías viene, y restaurará todas las cosas —respondió Jesús—.

12 Pero les digo que Elías ya vino, y no lo reconocieron sino que hicieron con él todo lo que quisieron. De la misma manera va a sufrir el Hijo del hombre a manos de ellos.

13 Entonces entendieron los discípulos que les estaba hablando de Juan el Bautista.

14 Cuando llegaron a la multitud, un hombre se acercó a Jesús y se arrodilló delante de él.

15 —Señor, ten compasión de mi hijo. Le dan ataques y sufre terriblemente. Muchas veces cae en el fuego o en el agua.
