ABU(i)
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.
