WEB · Bible Passage

Bible Text

[14] When they came to the multitude, a man came to him, kneeling down to him, saying, [15] "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. [16] So I brought him to your disciples, and they could not cure him." [17] 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." [18] Jesus rebuked him, the demon went out of him, and the boy was cured from that hour.
