Matthew 17:14-21
Wycliffe Bible
14 And when he came to the people [And when he came to the company], a man came to him, and felled [fell] down on his knees before him, and said [saying],
15 Lord, have mercy on my son; for he is lunatic, and suffereth evil, for oft times he falleth into the fire, and oft times into the water.
16 And I brought him to thy disciples, and they might not heal him.
17 Jesus answered, and said, A! thou generation unbelieveful [unbelieveful, or out of the faith,] and wayward; how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? Bring ye him hither to me.
18 And Jesus blamed him, and the devil went out from him; and the child was healed from that hour.
19 Then the disciples came to Jesus privily, and said to him, Why might not we cast him out?
20 Jesus saith to them [Jesus said to them], For your unbelief. Truly I say to you, if ye have faith, as a corn of mustard seed, ye shall say to this hill, Pass thou hence [Pass thou from hence], and it shall pass; and nothing shall be impossible to you;
21 but this kind is not cast out, but by prayer and fasting.

Matthew 17:14-21
New Matthew Bible
14 And when they had come to the people, a certain man came to Jesus and kneeled down to him and said, 15 Master, have mercy on my son, for he is delirious, and is sorely vexed. And often he falls into the fire, and often into the water. 16 And I brought him to your disciples, but they could not heal him. 17 Jesus answered and said, O generation faithless and perverse, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I suffer you? Bring him here to me.
18 And Jesus rebuked the devil, and he came out of him. And the child was healed even at that same hour.
19 Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and asked, Why could we not cast him out? 20 Jesus said to them, Because of your unbelief. For I say truly to you, if you had faith like a grain of mustard seed, you could say to this mountain, Move over there, and it would move; neither should anything be impossible for you to do. 21 However, this kind does not go out but by prayer and fasting.

1599 Geneva Bible
14 ¶ (A)[a]And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a certain man, and [b]fell down at his feet,
15 And said, Master, have pity on my son: for he is [c]lunatic, and is sore vexed: for oft times he falleth into the fire, and oft times into the water.
16 And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not heal him.
17 Then Jesus answered, and said, O generation faithless, and crooked, how long now shall I be with you! how long now shall I suffer you! bring him hither to me.
18 And Jesus rebuked the devil, and he went out of him: and the child was healed at that hour.
19 [d]Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out?
20 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for (B)verily I say unto you, if ye have faith as much as is a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place, and it shall remove: and nothing shall be impossible unto you.
21 [e]Howbeit this kind goeth not out, but by [f]prayer and fasting.
