13 Then the disciples understood Jesus was talking to them about John the Baptist.
14 Jesus and his disciples returned to the crowd. A man knelt in front of him
15 and said, “Lord, have pity on my son! He has a bad case of epilepsy and often falls into a fire or into water.
16 I brought him to your disciples, but none of them could heal him.”
17 Jesus said, “You people are too stubborn to have any faith! How much longer must I be with you? Why do I have to put up with you? Bring the boy here.”
18 Then Jesus spoke sternly to the demon. It went out of the boy, and right then he was healed.
19 Later the disciples went to Jesus in private and asked him, “Why couldn't we force out the demon?”
