23And Jesus said unto him, If thou canst! All things are possible to him that believeth.
24Straightway the father of the child cried out, and said, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.
25And when Jesus saw that a multitude came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I command thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him.
26And having cried out, and torn him much, he came out: and [the boy] became as one dead; insomuch that the more part said, He is dead.
27But Jesus took him by the hand, and raised him up; and he arose.
28And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, [How is it] that we could not cast it out?
29And he said unto them, This kind can come out by nothing, save by prayer.
