Notes in Matthew Chapter 17

Matthew 17:5b - This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.

Important cross ref: Isaiah 42:1, a prophesy of Messiah.

Matthew 17:21 - Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.

This entire verse removed from critical Greek text and modern English versions. In the parallel verse, Mark 9:29, the critical Greek and modern English omit "fasting" - "Comes not out but by prayer," as if the disciples had not even prayed over the boy, a ridiculous notion. Fasting also omitted by critical text in Acts 10:30; I Corinthians 7:5; II Corinthians 6:5; II Corinthians 11:27 - almost all of the New Testament texts on the subject.

Note at Matthew 17:27 - Peter not just a fisherman with nets, but also skilled using lines with hooks.
