Matthew 17:14-19

Jesus Heals a Boy with a Demon

14 ¹And when they came to the crowd, a man came up to him and, kneeling before him,

15 said, "Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is ²an epileptic and he suffers terribly. For often he falls into the fire, and often into the water.

16 And I brought him to your disciples, and ³they could not heal him."

17 And Jesus answered, "O faithless and ⁴twisted generation, how long am I to be with you? ⁵How long am I to bear with you? Bring him here to me."

18 And Jesus ⁶rebuked the demon,^[a] and it^[b] came out of him, and ⁷the boy was healed instantly.^[c]

19 Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, "Why could we not cast it out?"
