141When they came to the crowd, a mancame up to Jesus, falling on his kneesbefore Him and saying,
15
"Lord, havemercy on my son, for he is a 2lunatic and is veryill*; for he oftenfalls into the fire and often into the water.
16
"I brought him to Your disciples, and they could not cure him."
17
And Jesusanswered and said, "You unbelieving and pervertedgeneration, howlong* shall I be with you? Howlong* shall I put up with you? Bring him here to Me."
18
And Jesusrebuked him, and the demoncame out of him, and the boy was cured at once*.
19
Then the disciplescame to Jesusprivately* and said, "Why*could we not drive it out?"
20
And He said to them, "Because of the littleness of your faith; for truly I say to you, 3if you havefaith the size of 4a mustardseed, you will say to 5thismountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and 6nothing will be impossible to you.
