17 And one of the people addressing him, said, Master, I have brought my son to thee, who hath a dumb spirit; 18 and wherever he seizeth him, he throws him into strong convulsions: and he foams at the mouth, and grinds his teeth, and pines away. And I spoke to thy disciples, that they should cast him out; and they were unable. 19 Then addressing him, he said, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I bear with you? bring him to me. 20 And they brought him unto him. And seeing him, instantly the spirit threw him into convulsions; and falling to the ground, he rolled about, foaming at the mouth. 21 And he asked his father, For how long a time hath this been the case with him? And he replied, From his infancy. 22 And often it hath cast him into the fire, and into water, to destroy him: but if thou art able, have compassion upon us, and help us. 23 Then said Jesus unto him, This is the point : if thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. 24 And immediately the father of the child said with tears, I believe, Lord! help my unbelief! 25 Then Jesus, seeing that the multitude were running up to him, rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I command thee, come out of him, and enter into him no more. 26 And screaming, and convulsing him violently, it came out: and the child lay as if dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead. 27 But Jesus taking him by the hand, raised him up; and he arose.
