14 Jesusand his disciples returned to the crowd. A man knelt in front of him 15 and said, "Lord, have pity on my son! He has a bad case of epilepsy and often falls into a fire or into water. 16 I brought him to your disciples, but none of them could heal him."
17 Jesussaid, "You people are too stubborn to have any faith! How much longer must I be with you? Why do I have to put up with you? Bring the boy here." 18 Then Jesusspoke sternly to the demon. It went out of the boy, and right then he was healed.
19 Later the disciples went to Jesusin private and asked him, "Why couldn’t we force out the demon?"
20,21 Mt 21.21;Mk 11.23;1 Co 13.2.Jesus replied:
It is because you don’t have enough faith! But I can promise you this. If you had faith no larger than a mustard seed, you could tell this mountain to move from here to there. And it would. Everything would be possible for you.17.20,21 for you: Some manuscripts add, "But the only way to force out that kind of demon is by praying and going without eating."
