Matthew 17:15-17

Expanded Bible

¹⁵ The man said, “Lord, have mercy on my son. He ·has epilepsy [has seizures; or is demented/a lunatic; ^Cthe word for epilepsy could also mean “moonstruck” or demented; Mark 9:17 says the boy was demon possessed] and is suffering ·very much [terribly], because he often falls into the fire or into the water. ¹⁶ I brought him to your ·followers [disciples], but they could not ·cure [heal] him.”

¹⁷ Jesus answered, “·You people have no faith, and your lives are all wrong [^LO faithless/unbelieving and perverse/corrupt generation]. How long must I ·put up [stay; ^Lbe] with you? How long must I ·continue to be patient [put up] with you? Bring the boy here to me.”
