As Jesus
came down from the mountain with Peter, James, John and approached the other
disciples, they saw a large crowd around them and scribes arguing with them. Immediately
on seeing him, the whole crowd was utterly amazed. They ran up to him and
greeted him. He asked them, "What are you arguing about with them?" Someone
from the crowd answered him, "Teacher, I have brought to you my son
possessed by a mute spirit. Wherever it seizes him, it throws him down; he
foams at the mouth, grinds his teeth, and becomes rigid. I asked your disciples
to drive it out, but they were unable to do so." He said to them in reply,
"O faithless generation, how long will I be with you? How long will I
endure you? Bring him to me." They brought the boy to him. And when he saw
him, the spirit immediately threw the boy into convulsions. As he fell to the
ground, he began to roll around and foam at the mouth. Then he questioned his
father, "How long has this been happening to him?" He replied,
"Since childhood. It has often thrown him into fire and into water to kill
him. But if you can do anything, have compassion on us and help us." Jesus
said to him, "'If you can!' Everything is possible to one who has
faith." Then the boy's father cried out, "I do believe, help my
unbelief!" Jesus, on seeing a crowd rapidly gathering, rebuked the unclean
spirit and said to it, "Mute and deaf spirit, I command you: come out of
him and never enter him again!" Shouting and throwing the boy into
convulsions, it came out. He became like a corpse, which caused many to say,
"He is dead!" But Jesus took him by the hand, raised him, and he
stood up. When he entered the house, his disciples asked him in private, "Why
could we not drive the spirit out?" He said to them, "This kind can
only come out through prayer."
