38 and a man called out of the crowd saying. "Teacher, I beg you to look upon my son; for he is my only boy,

39 "and behold a spirit seizes hold of him, and rudely he shouts out, It convulses him till he foams; indeed it will hardly leave off bruising him sorely.

40 "I begged your disciples to cast it out, but they could not."

41 "O faithless and perverse generation," said Jesus, "how long shall I be with you and bear with you? Bring your son to me."

42 But while he was yet coming the demon dashed him down, and cruelly convulsed him. Then Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and cured the boy, and gave him back to his father.

43 And they were all awestruck at the mighty power of God. But while everyone was marveling at what he was doing, he said to his disciples.
