And Jesus, having answered, said, O faithless and perverted generation, how long shall I be with you how long shall I endure you? bring him here to me. And Jesus censured him; and the demon went forth out of him: and the child was cured from that hour. Then the disciples having come to Jesus apart, said, Why could not we cast it out?

And one from the crowd having answered, said, Teacher, I have brought my son to thee, having a speechless spirit. And wherever he overtakes him, he rends him: and he foams, and gnashes his teeth, and he is dried up: and I spake to thy disciples that they might cast him out; and they could not. And he having answered, says to him, 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 to him: and having seen him, quickly the spirit rent him; and having fallen upon the earth, foaming he rolled himself about. And he asked his father, How long is it that this has been to him? And he said, From childhood. And many times also it cast him into fire, and into water, that it might destroy him; but if thou canst anything, help us, having had compassion upon us. And Jesus said to him, If thou canst believe, all things possible to him believing. And quickly the child's father having cried out with tears, said, I believe, O Lord, help thou mine unbelief. And Jesus, having seen that the crowd ran together, rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to him, Speechless and deaf spirit, I command thee to come out of him, and that thou come no more into him. And having cried and rent him much, it came forth, and he was as dead; so that many said, That he is dead. And Jesus having held him by the hand, raised him; and he stood up. And he having come into the house, his disciples asked him apart, Wherefore were we not able to cast him forth? And he said to them, This kind can go, out by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.
