Luke 9:38-40

New Catholic Bible

³⁸ Then, suddenly, a man in the crowd cried out, “Teacher, I implore you to look at my son. He is my only child. ³⁹ A spirit seizes him and with a shriek suddenly throws him into convulsions until he begins to foam at the mouth. It hardly ever leaves him, continuously torturing him. ⁴⁰ I begged your disciples to drive it out, but they were unable to do so.”
