17 And one out of the multitude answered himTeacher! I brought my son unto thee, having a dumb spirit;
18 and, wheresoever it seizeth him, it teareth him, and he foameth, and grindeth his teeth, and weareth himself out;and I spake to thy disciples, that they should cast it out, and they could not.
19 But, he, answering, saithO faithless generation! how long, shall I be with you? how long, shall I bear with you? Bring him unto me!
20 And they brought him unto him. And, seeing him, the spirit, straightway tare him,and, falling upon the ground, he wallowed, foaming.
21 And he questioned his fatherHow long a time, is it, that, this, hath befallen him? and he saidFrom childhood;
22 and, many times, hath it cast him, both into fire, and into waters, that it might destroy him; but, if anything be possible to thee, help us, have compassion upon us.
23 And, Jesus, said unto himAs for this, If it be possible to thee, all things, are possible, to him who hath faith.
24 Straightway crying out, the father of the child was sayingI have faith! help my, want, of faith.
25 And Jesus, seeing that a multitude is running together, rebuked the impure spirit, saying unto itThou dumb and deaf spirit, I, give orders unto thee: Come forth out of him, and do not, any more, enter into him.
26 And, crying out, and greatly mangling him, it came forth; and he became as if dead, so that, the more part, were sayingHe is dead!
27 But, Jesus, grasping his hand, raised him, and he stood up.
