17 and one out of the multitude answering said, 'Teacher, I brought my son unto you, having a dumb spirit;
18 and wherever it does seize him, it does tear him, and he foams, and gnashes his teeth, and pines away; and I spake to your disciples that they may cast it out, and they were not able.'
19 And he answering him, said, 'O generation unbelieving, till when shall I be with you? till when shall I suffer you? bring him unto me;'
20 and they brought him unto him, and he having seen him, immediately the spirit tare him, and he, having fallen upon the earth, was wallowing -- foaming.
21 And he questioned his father, 'How long time is it since this came to him?' and he said, 'From childhood,
22 and many times also it cast him into fire, and into water, that it might destroy him; but if you are able to do anything, help us, having compassion on us.'
23 And Jesus said to him, 'If you are able to believe! all things are possible to the one that is believing;'
24 and immediately the father of the child, having cried out, with tears said, 'I believe, sir; be helping mine unbelief.'
25 Jesus having seen that a multitude does run together, rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, 'Spirit -- dumb and deaf -- I charge you, come forth out of him, and no more you may enter into him;'
26 and having cried, and rent him much, it came forth, and he became as dead, so that many said that he was dead,
27 but Jesus, having taken him by the hand, lifted him up, and he arose.
