17. One of the people answered and said, "Teacher! I have brought to Thee my son, possessed by a dumb spirit;

18. wherever he seizes him, he throws him to the ground, and he foams, gnashes his teeth, and becomes numb. I told Thy disciples that they should cast him out, and they could not.

19. Answering him, Jesus said, "O unfaithful generation! How long will I be with you? How long shall I endure you? Bring him to Me.

20. And they brought him to him. As soon as the demoniac saw Him, the spirit shook him; He fell to the ground and lay there, foaming.

21. And Jesus asked his father, "How long ago did this happen to him?" He said, "From childhood;

28. И как вошел Иисус в дом, ученики Его спрашивали Его наедине: почему мы не могли изгнать его?

29. И сказал им: сей род не может выйти иначе, как от молитвы и поста.

30. Выйдя оттуда, проходили через Галилею; и Он не хотел, чтобы кто узнал.
