And, coming unto the disciples, they saw a large multitude around them, and Scribes discussing with them.

And, straightway, all the multitude, seeing him, were greatly amazed, and, running near, began saluting him.

And he questioned them - What are ye discussing with them?

And one out of the multitude answered him - Teacher! I brought my son unto thee, having a dumb spirit;

and, wheresoever it seizeth him, it teareth him, and he foameth, and grindeth his teeth, and weareth himself out; - and I spake to thy disciples, that they should cast it out, and they could not.

But, he, answering, saith - O faithless generation! how long, shall I be with you? how long, shall I bear with you? Bring him unto me!

And they brought him unto him. And, seeing him, the spirit, straightway tare him, - and, falling upon the ground, he wallowed, foaming.

And he questioned his father - How long a time, is it, that, this, hath befallen him? and he said - From childhood;

and, many times, hath it cast him, both into fire, and into waters, that it might destroy him; but, if anything be possible to thee, help us, have compassion upon us.

And, Jesus, said unto him - As for this, If it be possible to thee, all things, are possible, to him who hath faith.

Straightway crying out, the father of the child was saying - I have faith! help my, want, of faith.

And Jesus, seeing that a multitude is running together, rebuked the impure spirit, saying unto it - Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I, give orders unto thee: Come forth out of him, and do not, any more, enter into him.

And, crying out, and greatly mangling him, it came forth; and he became as if dead, so that, the more part, were saying - He is dead!

But, Jesus, grasping his hand, raised him, and he stood up.

And, when he had gone into a house, his disciples, privately, were questioning him - Why, were, we, not able to cast it out?

And he said unto them - This kind, by nothing, can come out, save, by prayer.
