Luke Chapter 937 On the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a great crowd met him.38 And behold, a man from the crowd cried out, āTeacher, I beg you to look at my son, for he is my only child.39 And behold, a spirit seizes him, and he suddenly cries out. It convulses him so that he foams at the mouth, and shatters him, and will hardly leave him.40 And I begged your disciples to cast it out, but they could not.ā41 Jesus answered, āO faithless and twisted generation, how long am I to be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here.ā42 While he was coming, the demon threw him to the ground and convulsed him. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit and healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.43 And all were astonished at the majesty of God. But while they were all marveling at everything he was doing, Jesus said to his disciples, Mark Chapter 914 And when they came to the disciples, they saw a great crowd around them, and scribes arguing with them.15 And immediately all the crowd, when they saw him, were greatly amazed and ran up to him and greeted him.16 And he asked them, āWhat are you arguing about with them?ā17 And someone from the crowd answered him, āTeacher, I brought my son to you, for he has a spirit that makes him mute.18 And whenever it seizes him, it throws him down, and he foams and grinds his teeth and becomes rigid. So I asked your disciples to cast it out, and they were not able.ā19 And he answered them, āO faithless generation, how long am I to be with you? How long am I to bear with you? Bring him to me.ā20 And they brought the boy to him. And when the spirit saw him, immediately it convulsed the boy, and he fell on the ground and rolled about, foaming at the mouth.21 And Jesus asked his father, āHow long has this been happening to him?ā And he said, āFrom childhood.22 And it has often cast him into fire and into water, to destroy him. But if you can do anything, have compassion on us and help us.ā23 And Jesus said to him, ā āIf you canā! All things are possible for one who believes.ā24 Immediately the father of the child cried out and said, āI believe; help my unbelief!ā25 And when Jesus saw that a crowd came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, āYou mute and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him and never enter him again.ā26 And after crying out and convulsing him terribly, it came out, and the boy was like a corpse, so that most of them said, āHe is dead.ā27 But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up, and he arose.28 And when he had entered the house, his disciples asked him privately, āWhy could we not cast it out?ā29 And he said to them, āThis kind cannot be driven out by anything but prayer.ā Matthew Chapter 1714 And when they came to the crowd, a man came up to him and, kneeling before him,15 said, āLord, have mercy on my son, for he is an epileptic and he suffers terribly. For often he falls into the fire, and often into the water.16 And I brought him to your disciples, and they could not heal him.ā17 And Jesus answered, āO faithless and twisted generation, how long am I to be with you? How long am I to bear with you? Bring him here to me.ā18 And Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of him, and the boy was healed instantly.19 Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, āWhy could we not cast it out?ā20 He said to them, āBecause of your little faith. For truly, I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, āMove from here to there,āand it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you.ā |
