14 And coming to the disciples, they perceived a vast throng about them, and scribes discussing with them."
15 And straightway the entire throng, perceiving Him, were overawed, and, racing toward Him, saluted Him."
16 And He inquires of the scribes, "What are you discussing with yourselves?
17 And one out of the throng answered Him, "Teacher, I bring my son to Thee, having a dumb spirit."
18 And wheresoever it may be getting him down, it is tearing him, and he is frothing and grating his teeth, and is withering away. And I say to Thy disciples that they should be casting it out, and they are not strong enough."
19 Now He, answering, is saying to them, "O unbelieving generation! Till when shall I be with you? Till when shall I be with you? Bring him to Me."
20 And they bring him to Him. And perceiving Him, the spirit straightway violently convulses him, and, falling on the earth, he wallowed, frothing."
21 And He inquires of his father, "How much time is it since this has come to him?Now he said, "From a little boy."
22 And often it casts him into the fire also, and into waters, that it should be destroying him. But if Thou art in any way able, help us, having compassion on us!"
23 Now Jesus said to him, "Why the if? You are able to believe. All is possible to him who is believing."
24 Straightway, crying, the father of the little boy said, with tears, "I am believing! Help my unbelief!"
25 Now Jesus, perceiving that the throng is racing on together, rebukes the unclean spirit, saying to it, "Dumb and deaf-mute spirit, I am enjoining you to come out of him, and by no means may you be entering into him any longer."
26 And crying and convulsing him much, it came out. And he became as if dead, so that the majority are saying that he died."
27 Now Jesus, holding his hand, rouses him, and he rose."
28 And at His entering the house, His disciples inquired of Him privately, "Wherefore could we not cast it out?
29 And He said to them, "This species can come out by nothing except by prayer."
