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 Jesus respondeu: “De fato, Elias vem e restaurará todas as coisas.

12 Mas eu digo a vocês: Elias já veio, e eles não o reconheceram, mas fizeram com ele tudo o que quiseram. Da mesma forma o Filho do homem será maltratado por eles”.

13 Então os discípulos entenderam que era de João Batista que ele tinha falado.

14 Quando chegaram onde estava a multidão, um homem aproximou-se de Jesus, ajoelhou-se diante dele e disse:

15 “Senhor, tem misericórdia do meu filho. Ele tem ataques e está sofrendo muito. Muitas vezes cai no fogo ou na água.
