11 Again I say unto you, That Elias is indeed come, but they have done unto him whatsoever they listed; and even as it is written of him; and he bore record of me, and they received him not. Verily this was Elias.
12 And when he came to the disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and the scribes questioning with them.

21 And immediately the father of the child cried out, and said, with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.
