20They brought him to him, and when he saw him, immediately the spirit convulsed him, and he fell on the ground, wallowing and foaming at the mouth.
21He asked his father, "How long has it been since this has come to him?" He said, "From childhood.
22Often it has cast him both into the fire and into the water, to destroy him. But if you can do anything, have compassion on us, and help us."
23Jesus said to him, "If you can believe? All things are possible to him who believes."
24Immediately the father of the child cried out with tears, "I believe. Help my unbelief!"
25When Jesus saw that a multitude came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to him, "You mute and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him, and enter no more into him!"
26Having cried out, and convulsed him greatly, it came out. The boy became like one dead; so much that most of them said, "He is dead."
