* Then one of the crowd answered and said , "Teacher , I brought my son to You , because he has a mute spirit . * And wherever it seizes him , it throws him down , and he foams at the mouth , and gnashes his teeth , and he becomes rigid . So I spoke to Your disciples , that they might cast it out , but they were not able ." * He answered him and said , "O unbelieving generation , how long shall I be with you ? How long shall I bear with you ? Bring him to Me ." * Then they brought the boy to Him . And when he saw Him , immediately the spirit convulsed him , and having fallen on the ground he was rolling about , foaming at the mouth . * So He asked his father , "How long has this been happening to him ?"And he said , "From childhood . * And often it threw him both into the fire and into the waters so that it may destroy him . But if You are able [to do ] anything , help us and have compassion on us ." * Jesus said to him , "If you are able to believe : all things are possible to him that believes ." * And immediately crying out , the father of the child said with tears , "I believe , Lord ; help my unbelief !" * When Jesus saw that a crowd was running together , He rebuked the unclean spirit , saying to him , "Mute and deaf spirit , I command you , come out of him and enter him no more !" * Then having cried out and having convulsed him greatly , it came out . And he became as one dead , so that many were saying , "He is dead ." * But Jesus , having grasped him by the hand , lifted him up , and he arose .
