20 And they brought him unto him; and when he saw him, straightway the spirit tare him grievously, and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming.
21 And he asked his father, How long time is it since this hath come unto him? And he said, From a child.
22 And oft-times it hath cast him both into the fire and into the waters, to destroy him; but if thou canst do anything, have compassion on us, and help us.
23 And Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.
24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe, help thou mine unbelief.
25 And when Jesus saw that a multitude came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying unto him, Thou spirit, dumb and deaf, I command thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him.
26 And having cried out, and torn him much, he came out; and the boy became as one dead, insomuch that the more part said, He is dead.
27 But Jesus took him by the hand, and raised him up, and he arose.
28 And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, How is it that we could not cast it out?
29 And he said unto them, This kind can come out by nothing, save by prayer and fasting.
