Matthew 17:14-21
17:14 And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a certain man,
kneeling down to him, and saying,
17:15 Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is lunatick, and sore vexed:
for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, and oft into the water.
17:16 And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him.
17:17 Then Jesus answered and said,
O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you?
how long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to me.
17:18 And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him:
and the child was cured from that very hour.
17:19 Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said,
Why could not we cast him out?
17:20 And Jesus said unto them,
Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you,
If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain,
Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.
17:21 Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.

Mark
9:14-29
9:14 And when he came to his disciples, he saw a great multitude about them,
and the scribes questioning with them.
9:15 And straightway all the people, when they beheld him,
were greatly amazed, and running to him saluted him.
9:16 And he asked the scribes,
What question ye with them?
9:17 And one of the multitude answered and said,
Master, I have brought unto thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit;
9:18 And wheresoever he taketh him, he teareth him:
and he foameth, and gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away:
and I spake to thy disciples that they should cast him out; and they could not.
9:19 He answereth him, and saith,
O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you?
how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me.
9:20 And they brought him unto him:
and when he saw him, straightway the spirit tare him;
and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming.
9:21 And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him?
And he said, Of a child.
9:22 And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters,
to destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us.
9:23 Jesus said unto him,
If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.
9:24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said
with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.
9:25 When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him,
Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him.
9:26 And the spirit cried, and rent him sore, and came out of him:
and he was as one dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead.
9:27 But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose.
9:28 And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately,
Why could not we cast him out?
9:29 And he said unto them,
This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.

Luke
9:37-43
9:37 And it came to pass, that on the next day,
when they were come down from the hill, much people met him.
9:38 And, behold, a man of the company cried out, saying,
Master, I beseech thee, look upon my son: for he is mine only child.
9:39 And, lo, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth out;
and it teareth him that he foameth again, and bruising him hardly departeth from him.
9:40 And I besought thy disciples to cast him out; and they could not.
9:41 And Jesus answering said,
O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and suffer you? Bring thy son hither.
9:42 And as he was yet a coming, the devil threw him down, and tare him.
And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and delivered him again to his father.
9:43 And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God.
But while they wondered every one at all things which Jesus did, he said unto his disciples,
