14 And when they came to the crowd, a man came up to him and kneeling before him said,

15 »Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is an epileptic and he suffers terribly; for often he falls into the fire, and often into the water.

16 And I brought him to your disciples, but they could not heal him.«

17 Then Jesus answered, »O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him here to me.«

18 And Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of him, and the boy was cured from that moment.
