15 [a]Lord, have mercy on my son, because he (A)has seizures and suffers terribly; for he often falls into the fire and often into the water. 16 And I brought him to Your disciples, and they could not cure him.” 17 And Jesus answered and said, “You unbelieving and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring him here to Me.” 18 And Jesus rebuked him, and the demon came out of him, and the boy was healed [b]at once.

19 Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, “Why could we not cast it out?” 20 And He *said to them, “Because of your meager faith; for truly I say to you, (B)if you have faith [c]the size of (C)a mustard seed, you will say to (D)this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and (E)nothing will be impossible for you.[d]
