Matthew 17:14-23

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁴ And when he was come to the multitude, there came to him a man falling down on his knees before him, saying: Lord, have pity on my son, for he is a lunatic, and suffereth much: for he falleth often into the fire, and often into the water.

¹⁵ And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him.

¹⁶ Then Jesus answered and said: O unbelieving and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to me.

¹⁷ And Jesus rebuked him, and the devil went out of him, and the child was cured from that hour.

¹⁸ Then came the disciples to Jesus secretly, and said: Why could not we cast him out?

¹⁹ Jesus said to them: Because of your unbelief. For, amen I say to you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you shall say to this mountain, Remove from hence hither, and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible to you.

²⁰ But this kind is not cast out but by prayer and fasting.

²¹ And when they abode together in Galilee, Jesus said to them: The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men:

²² And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall rise again. And they were troubled exceedingly.

²³ And when they were come to Capharnaum, they that received the didrachmas, came to Peter and said to him: Doth not your master pay the didrachmas?
