NSB(i)
17 One of the people answered him: »Teacher I brought my son who is unable to talk because of a spirit.
18 »The spirit seizes him and slams him down. He foams at the mouth and grinds his teeth. I asked your disciples to cast it out but they could not do it.«
19 Jesus then said: »O faithless generation. How long will I be with you? How long must I put up with you? Bring him to me.«
20 They brought the boy to him. Suddenly the spirit threw him into convulsions. He fell on the ground rolled around and foamed at the mouth.
21 Jesus asked his father: »How long has this been going on?« He said: »Since he was a child.«
22 Often it casts him into the fire and into the water to destroy him. If you can do anything have compassion on us and help us.
23 Jesus said to him: »All things are possible to him who has faith.«
24 Both father and child immediately shouted: »I have faith make my faith stronger.«
25 When Jesus saw the people he ordered the unclean spirit to come out of him. He commanded the spirit that caused the loss of voice and hearing to leave and never return to him.
