Matthew 17:16-18
New English Translation
16 I brought him to your disciples, but[a] they were not able to heal him.” 17 Jesus answered,[b] “You[c] unbelieving[d] and perverse generation! How much longer must I be with you? How much longer must I endure[e] you?[f] Bring him here to me.” 18 Then[g] Jesus rebuked[h] the demon and it came out of him, and the boy was healed from that moment.
