17 And one of the company answered, and said, Master, I have brought to thee my son, that hath a dumb spirit;
18 and wherever he taketh him, he hurtleth him down, and he foameth, and beateth together with teeth, and waxeth dry. And I said to thy disciples, that they should cast him out, and they might not.
19 And he answered to them, and said, A! thou generation out of belief [or unbelieveful], how long shall I be among you, how long shall I suffer you? Bring ye him to me.
20 And they brought him. And when he had seen him, anon the spirit troubled him; and he was thrown down to the ground, and wallowed, and foamed.
21 And he asked his father, How long is it, since this hath befallen to him? And he said, From childhood;
22 and oft he hath put him into the fire, and into water, to lose him; but if thou mayest anything, help us, and have mercy on us.
23 And Jesus said to him, If thou mayest believe, all things be possible to a man that believeth.
24 And anon the father of the child cried with tears, and said, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.
25 And when Jesus had seen the people running together, he menaced the unclean spirit, and said to him, Thou deaf and dumb spirit, I command thee, go out from him, and enter no more into him.
26 And he crying, and much wrenching him, went out from him; and he was made as dead, so that many said, that he was dead.
27 And Jesus held his hand, and lifted him up; and he rose.
