17And one of the number said to him in answer, Master, I came to you with my son, who has in him a spirit which takes away his power of talking;
18And wherever it takes him, it puts him down violently, streaming at the lips and twisted with pain; and his strength goes from him; and I made a request to your disciples to send it out, and they were not able.
19And he said to them in answer, O generation without faith, how long will I have to be with you? how long will I put up with you? let him come to me.
20And they took him to him: and when he saw him, the spirit in him straight away became violent; and he went down on the earth, rolling about and streaming at the lips.
21And Jesus questioning the father said, How long has he been like this? And he said, From a child.
22And frequently it has sent him into the fire and into the water, for his destruction; but if you are able to do anything, have pity on us, and give us help.
23And Jesus said to him, If you are able! All things are possible to him who has faith.
