17 And having answered, one from the multitude said, Teacher, I brought my son to thee, who has a mute spirit.
18 And wherever it seizes him, it tears him, and he foams, and gnashes his teeth, and becomes limp. And I spoke to thy disciples that they might cast it out, and they were not able.
19 And having answered him, he says, O faithless generation, how long will I be with you? How long will I endure you? Bring him to me.
20 And they brought him to him. And when he saw him, straightaway the spirit convulsed him. And having fallen on the ground, he wallowed, foaming.
21 And he questioned his father, How much time is it since this has happened to him? And he said, From childhood.
22 And it often casts him both into the fire and into the waters so that it might destroy him. But if thou can do anything, help us, having compassion toward us.
23 And Jesus said to him, If thou are able to believe, all things are possible to him who believes.
24 And straightaway the father of the child having cried out, he said with tears, I believe. Lord, help thou my unbelief.
25 And when Jesus saw that a crowd was running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, Thou mute and deaf spirit, I command thee to come out of him, and enter into him no more.
26 And having cried out, and having convulsed him much, it came out. And he became as if dead, so as for many to said that he was dead.
27 But having taken him by the hand, Jesus lifted him up, and he arose.
