Wesley's Notes for Matthew 17:13


17:11 Regulate all things - In order to the coming of Christ.

17:12 Elijah is come already - And yet when the Jews asked John, Art thou Elijah? He said, I am not, #John 1:21|. His meaning was, I am not Elijah the Tishbite, come again into the world. But he was the person of whom Malachi prophesied under that name.

17:14 #Mark 9:14|; Luke 11:37.

17:15 He is lunatic - This word might with great propriety he used, though the case was mostly preternatural; as the evil spirit would undoubtedly take advantage of the influence which the changes of the moon have on the brain and nerves.
