And one of the people addressing him, said, Master, I have brought my son to thee, who hath a dumb spirit; and wherever he seizeth him, he throws him into strong convulsions: and he foams at the mouth, and grinds his teeth, and pines away. And I spoke to thy disciples, that they should cast him out; and they were unable. Then addressing him, he said, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I bear with you? bring him to me. And they brought him unto him. And seeing him, instantly the spirit threw him into convulsions; and falling to the ground, he rolled about, foaming at the mouth. And he asked his father, For how long a time hath this been the case with him? And he replied, From his infancy. And often it hath cast him into the fire, and into water, to destroy him: but if thou art able, have compassion upon us, and help us. Then said Jesus unto him, This [is the point]: if thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. And immediately the father of the child said with tears, I believe, Lord! help my unbelief! Then Jesus, seeing that the multitude were running up to him, rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I command thee, come out of him, and enter into him no more. And screaming, and convulsing him violently, it came out: and the child lay as if dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead. But Jesus taking him by the hand, raised him up; and he arose. And when he was come into the house, the disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast it out? And he said to them, this kind can be driven out by nothing but prayer and fasting.
