The Healing of a Boy With a Demon
When they came to the
multitude, a man came to him, kneeling down to him, saying, "Lord, have mercy on my
son, for he is epileptic, and suffers grievously; for he often falls into
the fire, and often into the water. So I brought him to your
disciples, and they could not cure him."
Jesus answered, "Faithless and perverse generation! How long will I be with
you? How long will I bear with you? Bring him here to me."
Jesus rebuked him, the
demon went out of him, and the boy was cured from that hour.
Then the disciples
came to Jesus privately, and said, "Why weren't we able to cast it
out?"
He said to them,
"Because of your unbelief. For most certainly I tell
you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will tell this
mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be
impossible for you. But
this kind doesn't go out except by prayer and fasting."
While they were
staying in Galilee, Jesus said to them, "The Son of
Man is about to be delivered up into the hands of men, and they will kill him, and the
third day he will be raised up."
They were exceedingly sorry.
