Jesus Heals a Deaf and Dumb Boy
As they came down the mountain the following day Jesus warned his disciples to tell no one what they had seen.

Jesus:
You must not talk of this until the Son of Man has risen from the dead.

Peter:
What exactly does that mean – risen from the dead?

James:
Well I think it would mean – being dead one minute – and risen the next.

Peter:
But that involves dying…

James:
Yes.

John:
But Lord – what about the prophecy about Elijah coming first – before the Messiah?

Jesus:
Elijah has come first – but the religious leaders failed to recognise him. In fact – they rejected and despised him, in the same way that they will reject and despise the Son of Man.
