Healing a Demon-Possessed Boy and a Second Prediction of Death
Matthew 17:14-23
14And when they had come to the crowd, a man approached him, kneeling before him.15And he said, "Lord, have pity on me, for my son is epileptic and suffers badly; for he often falls into the fire and often into the water."16And I brought him to your disciples, and they were not able to heal him.17Then Jesus answered and said, "O unbelieving and perverted generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him here to me."18And Jesus rebuked it, and the demon came out of him, and the child was healed from that hour.19Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, "Why were we not able to cast it out?"20He said to them, "Because of your little faith. For truly I say to you, if you have faith like a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you."21But this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.22While they were gathering in Galilee, Jesus said to them, "The son of man is about to be delivered into the hands of men."23And they will kill him, and on the third day he will rise. And they were greatly grieved.
