13 Then the disciples understood that he was talking about John the Baptizer.
14 When they came to a crowd, a man came up to Jesus, knelt in front of him,
15 and said, “Sir, have mercy on my son. He suffers from seizures. Often he falls into fire or water.
16 I brought him to your disciples, but they couldn’t cure him.”
17 Jesus replied, “You unbelieving and corrupt generation! How long must I be with you? How long must I put up with you? Bring him here to me!”
18 Jesus ordered the demon to come out of the boy. At that moment the boy was cured.
19 Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and asked, “Why couldn’t we force the demon out of the boy?”
