14 ^tAnd when they came to the disciples, they saw a great crowd around them, and scribes arguing with them.

15 And immediately all the crowd, when they saw him ^uwere greatly amazed and ran up to him and greeted him.

16 And he asked them, “What are you arguing about with them?”

17 And someone from the crowd answered him, “Teacher, I brought my son to you, for he has ^va spirit that makes him mute.

18 And whenever it seizes him, it throws him down, and he foams and grinds his teeth and becomes rigid. So I asked your disciples to cast it out, and ^wthey were not able.”

19 And he answered them, “O ^xfaithless generation ^yhow long am I to be with you? How long am I to bear with you? Bring him to me.”

20 And they brought the boy to him. And when the spirit saw him, immediately it ^zconvulsed the boy, and he fell on the ground and rolled about, foaming at the mouth.

21 And Jesus asked his father, “How long has this been happening to him?” And he said, “From childhood.

22 And it has often cast him into fire and into water, to destroy him. But ^aaif you can do anything, have compassion on us and help us.”

23 And Jesus said to him, ^ab“‘If you can’! ^acAll things are possible for one who believes.”

24 Immediately the father of the child cried out ^{▼▼Some manuscripts add with tears} and said, “I believe; ^aehelp my unbelief!”

25 And when Jesus saw that ^afa crowd came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, ^ag“You mute and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him and never enter him again.”

26 And after crying out and ^ahconvulsing him terribly, it came out, and the boy was like a corpse, so that most of them said, “He is dead.”

27 But Jesus ^aitook him by the hand and lifted him up, and he arose.

28 And when he had ^ajentered the house, his disciples asked him privately, “Why could we not cast it out?”

29 And he said to them, “This kind cannot be driven out by anything but prayer.” ^{▼▼Some manuscripts add and fasting}

39 And behold, a spirit seizes him, and he suddenly cries out. It convulses him so that he foams at the mouth, and shatters him, and will hardly leave him.

40 And I begged your disciples to cast it out, but ^aqthey could not.”

41 Jesus answered, “O ^arfaithless and twisted generation ^ashow long am I to be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here.”
