15 said, “Lord, have mercy on my son, for he has (A)seizures 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 (B)they could not heal him.” 17 And Jesus answered, “O faithless and (C)twisted generation, how long am I to be with you? (D)How long am I to bear with you? Bring him here to me.” 18 And Jesus (E)rebuked the demon,[a] and it[b] came out of him, and (F)the boy was healed instantly.[c] 19 Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, “Why could we not cast it out?” 20 He said to them, (G)“Because of your little faith. For (H)truly, I say to you, (I)if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, (J)you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move, and (K)nothing will be impossible for you.”[d]
