Luke 9:41

A Demon-Possessed Boy Healed

⁴⁰ I entreated your disciples to drive the spirit out, but they could not." ⁴¹  "O faithless and perverse generation!" Jesus exclaimed; "how long must I be with you and have patience with you? Lead your son here." ⁴² While the boy was coming up to Jesus, the demon dashed him down and threw him into convulsions. But Jesus rebuked the foul spirit, and cured the boy, and gave him back to his father.
