¹⁴當他們來到群眾那裡時，有一個人來到耶穌跟前，跪下，

¹⁴And when he was come to the multitude, there came to him a man falling down on his knees before him, saying: Lord, have pity on my son, for he is a lunatic, and suffereth much: for he falleth often into the fire, and often into the water.

¹⁵說：「主啊，可憐我的兒子罷！他患癲癇病很苦，屢次跌在火中，又屢次跌在水裡。

¹⁵And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him.

¹⁶我把他帶到你的門徒跟前，他們卻不能治好他。」

¹⁶Then Jesus answered and said: O unbelieving and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to me.

¹⁷耶穌回答說：「哎！無信敗壞的世代，我同你們在一起要到幾時呢？我容忍你們要到幾時呢？把他給我帶到這裡來！」

¹⁷And Jesus rebuked him, and the devil went out of him, and the child was cured from that hour.

¹⁸耶穌遂叱責魔鬼，魔鬼就從孩子身上出去了；從那時刻，孩子就好了。

¹⁸Then came the disciples to Jesus secretly, and said: Why could not we cast him out?

¹⁹以後，門徒前來私下對耶穌說：「為什麼我們不能逐出這魔鬼呢？」

¹⁹Jesus said to them: Because of your unbelief. For, amen I say to you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you shall say to this mountain, Remove from hence hither, and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible to you.

²⁰耶穌對他們說：「由於你們缺少信德；我實在告訴你們：假如你們有像芥子那麼大的信德，你們向這座山說：從這邊移到那邊去！它必會移過去的；為你們沒有不可能的事。

²⁰But this kind is not cast out but by prayer and fasting.
