Then the disciples understood that he spoke to them of John the Baptizer.
When they had come down from the mountain, immediately a great multitude met him. All the multitude, when they saw him, were greatly amazed, and running to him, greeted him. Coming to the disciples, he saw a great multitude around them, and scribes questioning them. He asked the scribes, “What are you asking them?”
When they came to the multitude, behold, a man from the crowd called out, saying, “Teacher, I beg you to look at my son, for he is my only child. Behold, a spirit takes him, he suddenly cries out, and it convulses him so that he foams, and it hardly departs from him, bruising him severely. I begged your disciples to cast it out, and they could not”; one not.” He asked the scribes, “What are you asking them?” One of the multitude , calling out, answered, “I brought to you my son, who has a mute spirit; and wherever it seizes him, it throws him down, and he foams at the mouth, and grinds his teeth, and wastes away. I asked your disciples to cast it out, and they were not able.”
Jesus answered, “Faithless and perverse generation'''!''' How long will I be with you? How long will I bear with you? Bring him here to me.”
