ABU(i)
14 And coming to his disciples he saw a great multitude about them, and scribes questioning with them.
15 And straightway all the multitude seeing him were greatly amazed, and running to him saluted him.
16 And he asked them: What question ye with them?
17 And one of the multitude answered him: Teacher, I brought to thee my son, having a dumb spirit.
18 And wherever it lays hold of him, it tears him, and he foams, and gnashes his teeth, and he pines away. And I spoke to thy disciples, that they should cast it out; and they could not.
19 And he answering, says to them: O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him to me.
20 And they brought him to him. And seeing him, straightway the spirit rent him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming.
21 And he asked his father: How long is it, since this came upon him? And he said: From a child.
22 And ofttimes it cast him both into the fire, and into the water, to destroy him. But if thou art able to do anything, have compassion on us, and help us.
23 Jesus said to him: If thou art able! All things are possible to the believing.
24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said: I believe; help thou my unbelief.
25 And Jesus, seeing that a multitude came running together, rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to him: Dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter into him no more.
26 And crying out, and rending him sorely, it came out of him. And he became as one dead; so that many said: He is dead.
27 But Jesus taking him by the hand, raised him, and he stood up.
28 And when he had come into the house, his disciples asked him privately: Why could not we cast it out?
29 And he said to them: This kind can go out by nothing, except by prayer and fasting.
