Matthew 17:15 In-Context

13 Then the disciples understood that He spoke to them about John the Baptist.
14 When they reached the crowd, a man approached and knelt down before Him.
15 "Lord," he said, "have mercy on my son, because he has seizures and suffers severely. He often falls into the fire and often into the water.
16 I brought him to Your disciples, but they couldn't heal him."
17 Jesus replied, "You unbelieving and rebellious generation! How long will I be with you? How long must I put up with you? Bring him here to Me."
