them: and said to them: Arise, and fear
not.

17:8. And they lifting up their eyes, saw no one, but only Jesus.

17:9. And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them,
saying: Tell the vision to no man, till the Son of man be risen from the
dead.

17:10. And his disciples asked him, saying: Why then do the scribes say
that Elias must come first?

17:11. But he answering, said to them: Elias indeed shall come, and
restore all things.

17:12. But I say to you, that Elias is already come, and they knew him

17:20. But this kind is not cast out but by prayer and fasting.
