Mt 17:14-21

The Healing of a Boy with a Demon.^* 14^h When they came to the crowd a man approached, knelt down before him, 15and said, “Lord, have pity on my son, for he is a lunatic^* and suffers severely; often he falls into fire, and often into water. 16I brought him to your disciples, but they could not cure him.” 17ⁱ Jesus said in reply, “O faithless and perverse^* generation, how long will I be with you? How long will I endure you? Bring him here to me.” 18Jesus rebuked him and the demon came out of him,^* and from that hour the boy was cured. 19Then the disciples approached Jesus in private and said, “Why could we not drive it out?” 20^{* j} He said to them, “Because of your little faith. Amen, I say to you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” [ 21 ]^*
