13. In fact, I tell you that Elijah has come, but they did to him whatever they wanted, just as it was written about him."
14. When Jesus, Peter, James, and John approached the other disciples, they saw a large crowd surrounding them and legal experts arguing with them.
15. Suddenly the whole crowd caught sight of Jesus. They ran to greet him, overcome with excitement.
16. Jesus asked them, "What are you arguing about?"
17. Someone from the crowd responded, "Teacher, I brought my son to you, since he has a spirit that doesn’t allow him to speak.
18. Wherever it overpowers him, it throws him into a fit. He foams at the mouth, grinds his teeth, and stiffens up. So I spoke to your disciples to see if they could throw it out, but they couldn’t."
