The Demoniac

14 (A)When they came to the crowd, a man came up to Jesus, falling on his knees before Him and saying, 15 (a)Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is a (b)(B)lunatic and is very ill; for he often falls into the fire and often into the water. 16 I brought him to Your disciples, and they could not cure him.” 17 And Jesus answered and said, “You unbelieving and perverted generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring him here to Me.” 18 And Jesus rebuked him, and the demon came out of him, and the boy was cured (c)at once.
