15 And one of the multitude answered, and said, Master, I have brought unto thee my son, who hath a dumb spirit that is a devil; and when he seizeth him, he teareth him; and he foameth and gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away; and I spake to thy disciples that they might cast him out, and they could not.
16 Jesus spake unto him and said, O faithless generation! how long shall I be with you? How long shall I suffer you? Bring him unto me. And they brought him unto Jesus.
17 And when the man saw him, immediately he was torn by the spirit; and he fell on the ground and wallowed, foaming.
18 And Jesus asked his father, How long a time is it since this came unto him? and his father said, When a child;
19 And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire and into the waters, to destroy him, but if thou canst, I ask thee to have compassion on us, and help us.
20 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt believe all things I shall say unto you, this is possible to him that believeth.
21 And immediately the father of the child cried out, and said, with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.
22 When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, I charge thee to come out of him, and enter no more into him.
23 Now the dumb and deaf spirit cried, and rent him sore, and came out of him; and he was as one dead, insomuch that many said, He is dead.
24 But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose.
25 When Jesus was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast him out?
