A Demon-possessed Boy Healed
14 And [when they] came to the crowd, a man approached him, kneeling down before him
15
and saying, "Lord, have mercy on my son, because he has seizures and suffers severely, for often he falls into the fire and often into the water.
16
And I brought him to your disciples, and they were not able to heal him."
17
And Jesus answered [and] said, "O unbelieving and perverse generation! {How long} will I be with you? {How long} must I put up with you? Bring him here to me!"
18
And Jesus rebuked him, and the demon came out of him and the boy was healed from that hour.
19
Then the disciples approached Jesus privately [and] said, {Why} were we not able to expel it?"
20
And he said to them, "Because of your little faith. For truly I say to you, if you have faith like a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here [to] there,' and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you."
