| Matthew 17: 14 - 21 ( King James Version ) |
| |
| And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a [certain] man, kneeling down to him, and saying, |
| 17:15 Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is a lunatic, and sore vexed: for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, and oft into the water. |
| 17:16 And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him. |
| 17:17 Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to me. |
| 17:18 And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour. |
| 17: 19 Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out? |
| 17:20 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. |
| 17:21 Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting. |
