14 When they had returned to the people, there came to Him a man who fell on his knees before Him and besought Him.
15 »Sir,« he said, »have pity on my son, for he is an epileptic and is very ill. Often he falls into the fire and often into the water.
16 I have brought him to your disciples, and they have not been able to cure him.«
17 »O unbelieving and perverse generation!« replied Jesus; »how long shall I be with you? how long shall I endure you? Bring him to me.«
18 Then Jesus reprimanded the demon, and it came out and left him; and the boy was cured from that moment.
