Matthew 17:14-21
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.
