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.
