9:18	And answering them, he said: “O unbelieving generation, how long must I be with you? How long shall I endure you? Bring him to me.”
9:19	And they brought him. And when he had seen him, immediately the spirit disturbed him. And having been thrown to the ground, he rolled around foaming.
9:20	And he questioned his father, “How long has this been happening to him?” But he said: “From infancy.
9:21	And often it casts him into fire or into water, in order to destroy him. But if you are able to do anything, help us and take pity on us.”
9:22	But Jesus said to him, “If you are able to believe: all things are possible to one who believes.”
9:23	And immediately the father of the boy, crying out with tears, said: “I do believe, Lord. Help my unbelief.”
9:24	And when Jesus saw the crowd rushing together, he admonished the unclean spirit, saying to him, “Deaf and mute spirit, I command you, leave him; and do not enter into him anymore.”
9:25	And crying out, and convulsing him greatly, he departed from him. And he became like one who is dead, so much so that many said, “He is dead.”
9:26	But Jesus, taking him by the hand, lifted him up. And he arose.
