They brought ^[n]the boy to Him. When he saw Him, immediately the spirit threw him into a convulsion, and falling to the ground, he began rolling around and foaming at the mouth.

And He asked his father, "How long has this been happening to him?" And he said, "From childhood.

It has often thrown him both into the fire and into the water to destroy him. But if You can do anything, take pity on us and help us!"

And Jesus said to him, "‘If You can?' ^(p)All things are possible to him who believes."

Immediately the boy's father cried out and said, "I do believe; help my unbelief."

When Jesus saw that ^(q)a crowd was ^[o]rapidly gathering, He rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, "You deaf and mute spirit, I ^[p]command you, come out of him and do not enter him ^[q]again."

After crying out and throwing him into terrible convulsions, it came out; and the boy became so much like a corpse that most of them said, "He is dead!"

But Jesus took him by the hand and raised him; and he got up.
