Matthew 17:15-25

15 Lord, have mercy on my son; for he is lunatic, and grievously distressed; for often he falleth into the fire, and often into the water.

16 And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him.

17 Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to me.

18 And Jesus rebuked the demon, and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour.

19 Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out?

20 And Jesus said to them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say to you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard-seed, ye shall say to this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place, and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible to you.

21 However, this kind goeth not out, but by prayer and fasting.

22 And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said to them, The Son of man will be betrayed into the hands of men:

23 And they will kill him, and the third day he will be raised again: And they were exceedingly grieved.

24 And when they had come to Capernaum, they that received tribute-[money], came to Peter, and said, Doth not your Master pay tribute?

25 He saith, Yes. And when he had come into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? from whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? from their own children, or from strangers?
