‏ Matthew 17:15

15 and said, “Lord, have mercy on my son because he has seizures ^{▼▼tn Grk “he is moonstruck,” possibly meaning “lunatic” (so NAB, NASB), although now the term is generally regarded as referring to some sort of seizure disorder such as epilepsy (L&N 23.169; BDAG 919 s.v. σεληνιάζομαι).} and suffers terribly, for he often falls into the fire and into the water.
