14 And when he came to the disciples, he saw a great multitude round about them, and the scribes disputing with them.

15 And immediately when they saw him, all the people were amazed, and running up, they saluted him.

16 And he asked the scribes, 'What are you disputing with them about?'

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, and gnashes his teeth, and becomes numb. I told Thy disciples that they should cast him out, and they could not.

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

27 But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up; And he got up.

28 And when Jesus had entered into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could we not cast him out?
