What does Matthew 17:14 mean?

Jesus has privileged Peter, James, and John to an astounding experience on the mountain and a powerful conversation as they hiked down (Matthew 17:1–13). Arriving at the bottom, they immediately enter back into a world of demanding crowds and the earthly needs of Jesus' ministry.

A man approaches Christ and kneels before him in respect and humility. Matthew's telling of this story is quite condensed. Mark gives a much more detailed account (Mark 9:14–29). From Mark, we know that Jesus came to the remaining nine disciples and found them surrounded by a crowd and in an argument with some of the religious leaders known as scribes. When Jesus asks what they are arguing about, this man approaches Jesus and begins to describe what is happening to his son. Apparently, the scribes were arguing with the disciples about their inability to heal the boy.
