Matthew 17:14-20

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

Jesus Cures a Boy with a Demon

¹⁴ When they came to the crowd, a man came to him, knelt before him, ¹⁵ and said, ‘Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is an epileptic and he suffers terribly; he often falls into the fire and often into the water. ¹⁶ And I brought him to your disciples, but they could not cure him.’ ¹⁷ Jesus answered, ‘You faithless and perverse generation, how much longer must I be with you? How much longer must I put up with you? Bring him here to me.’ ¹⁸ And Jesus rebuked the demon,^[a] and it^[b] came out of him, and the boy was cured instantly. ¹⁹ Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, ‘Why could we not cast it out?’ ²⁰ He said to them, ‘Because of your little faith. For truly I tell you, if you have faith the size of a^[c] mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, “Move from here to there”, and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.’^[d]
