"Lord, take pity on my son, for he has violent seizures and suffers intense pain. He often falls into a fire or into water. [Note: This man was also dominated by an evil spirit. See verse 18].

Then later on he sent his own son to the tenant farmers, saying, '[Surely] they will treat my son with respect.'
