14 And he coming to his disciples, saw a great company about them, and [the] scribes disputing with them [and scribes asking with them].

15 And at once [And anon] all the people seeing Jesus, was astonished, and they dreaded; and they running [to,] greeted him.

16 And he asked them, What dispute ye among you [What seek ye among you]?

17 And one of the company answered, and said, Master, I have brought to thee my son, that hath a dumb spirit;

18 and where ever he taketh him, he hurtleth him down, and he foameth, and beateth together with teeth, and waxeth dry. And I said to thy disciples, that they should cast him out, and they might not.

19 And he answered to them, and said, A! thou generation out of belief[a], how long shall I be among you, how long shall I suffer you? Bring ye him to me.

20 And they brought him [to]. And when he had seen him, at once [anon] the spirit troubled him; and he was thrown down to the ground, and wallowed, and foamed [and he cast down into the earth, was wallowed foaming].

21 And he asked his father, How long is it, since this hath befallen to him [How much time is it, since this thing befelled to him]? And he said, From childhood;

22 and oft he hath put him into the fire, and into water, to destroy him[b]; but if thou mayest any thing, help us, and have mercy on us.

23 And Jesus said to him, If thou mayest believe, all things be possible to a man that believeth.

24 And at once [And anon] the father of the child cried with tears, and said, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.

25 And when Jesus had seen the people running together, he menaced the unclean spirit, and said to him [saying to him], Thou deaf and dumb spirit, I command thee, go out from him, and enter no more into him.

26 And he crying, and much wrenching him, went out from him; and he was made as dead, so that many said, that he was dead.

27 And Jesus held his hand, and lifted him up; and he rose.

28 And when he had entered into an house, his disciples asked him privily, Why might not we cast him out?

29 And he said to them, This kind in nothing may go out [This kind may not go out in any thing], but in prayer and fasting.
