Mateo 17:14 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 17:14

And when they were come to the multitude
Which was on the next day, as in ( Luke 9:37 ) when Christ and his three disciples, Peter, James, and John, came down from the mount to the other nine, with whom the multitude of the people were; during their stay on the mountain,

there came to him a certain man;
who was, as Mark says, "one of the multitude"; and as Luke, "a man of the company": who had applied to the nine disciples on the behalf of his son, but without success, and was waiting till Christ came from the mount; who when he saw him, made up to him, and

kneeling down to him
in the manner of a supplicant, doing him homage and worship; hereby showing his great esteem of him, and veneration for him,

and saying
the following words:

Mateo 17:14 In-Context

12 Mas os digo que ya vino Elías, y no le conocieron; antes hicieron con él todo lo que quisieron; así también el Hijo del hombre padecerá de ellos.

13 Los discípulos entonces entendieron, que les habló de Juan el Bautista.

14 Cuando ellos llegaron a la multitud, vino a él un hombre hincándose de rodillas,

15 Y diciendo: Señor, ten misericordia de mi hijo, que es lunático, y padece malamente; porque muchas veces cae en el fuego, y muchas en el agua.

16 Y lo he presentado a tus discípulos, y no le han podido sanar.
