Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 17, 14-20 

At that time

a man came up to Jesus, and falling to his knees,

    he said,

“Lord, have mercy on my son.

He has epilepsy

and is in great pain.

Often it falls into the fire

and often also into the water.

    I brought him to your disciples,

but they couldn't heal him. "

    Speaking, Jesus said,

" Generation unbelieving and perverted,

how long must I stay with you?

How long will I have to put up with you?

Bring him to me. "

    Jesus rebuked the demon,

and it came out of him.

At the same hour, the child was healed.

    So the disciples approached Jesus

and said to him in particular:

"For what reason

did we not succeed in expelling him? "

    Jesus answers them:

" Because of your little faith.

Amen, I say to you:

if you have faith

as big as a mustard seed,

you will say to this mountain:

“Transport yourself from here to there”,

and it will be transported;

nothing will be impossible for you. "
