Matthew 17:14-21

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁴ And when they approached the multitude, a man came up to Him, kneeling before Him and saying,

¹⁵ Lord, do pity and have mercy on my son, for he has epilepsy (is ^[a]moonstruck) and he suffers terribly; for frequently he falls into the fire and many times into the water.

¹⁶ And I brought him to Your disciples, and they were not able to cure him.

¹⁷ And Jesus answered, O you unbelieving (^[b]warped, wayward, rebellious) and ^[c]thoroughly perverse generation! How long am I to remain with you? How long am I to bear with you? Bring him here to Me.

¹⁸ And Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of him, and the boy was cured instantly.

¹⁹ Then the disciples came to Jesus and asked privately, Why could we not drive it out?

²⁰ He said to them, Because of the littleness of your faith [that is, your lack of ^[d]firmly relying trust]. For truly I say to you, if you have faith [^[e]that is living] like a grain of mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, Move from here to yonder place, and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you.

^21 [f]But this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.
