Matthew:17:14-23
Seeker Overlay ON
*
When they came to the multitude ,
a man came to him ,
kneeling down to him ,
saying ,
* "
Lord ,
have mercy on my son ,
for he is epileptic ,
and suffers grievously ;
for he often falls into the fire ,
and often into the water .
*
So I brought him to your disciples ,
and they could not cure him ."
*
Jesus answered , "
Faithless and perverse generation !
How long will I be with you ?
How long will I bear with you ?
Bring him here to me ."
*
Jesus rebuked him ,
the demon went out of him ,
and the boy was cured from that hour .
*
Then the disciples came to Jesus privately ,
and said , "
Why weren '
t we able to cast it out ?"
*
He said to them , "
Because of your unbelief .
For most certainly I tell you ,
if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed ,
you will tell this mountain , '
Move from here to there ,'
and it will move ;
and nothing will be impossible for you .
*
But this kind doesn '
t go out except by prayer and fasting ."
*
While they were staying in Galilee ,
Jesus said to them , "
The Son of Man is about to be delivered up into the hands of men ,
*
and they will kill him ,
and the third day he will be raised up ."
They were exceedingly sorry .
