Goodspeed(i)
17 One of the crowd answered, "Master, I brought my son to you, for he is possessed by a dumb spirit,
18 and wherever it seizes him it convulses him, and he foams at the mouth and grinds his teeth; and he is wasting away. I told your disciples to drive it out, and they could not do it."
19 He answered them and said, "O you unbelieving people, how long must I be with you? How long must I put up with you? Bring him here to me!"
20 And they brought the boy to him. As soon as the spirit saw him, it convulsed the boy, and he fell down on the ground and rolled about, foaming at the mouth.
21 Jesus asked the boy's father, "How long has he been like this?" And he said,
22 "From his childhood, and many a time it has thrown him into the fire or into the water, to put an end to him. But if there is anything you can do, take pity on us and help us!"
