Healing the Epileptic Boy

Wycliffe's Bible (Modern Spelling)

Mat 17:14–21

14 And when he came to the people, a man came to him, and felled down on his knees before him, and said,
15 Lord, have mercy on my son; for he is lunatic, and suffereth evil, for oft times he falleth into the fire, and oft times into the water.
16 And I brought him to thy disciples, and they might not heal him.
17 Jesus answered, and said, A! thou generation unbelieveful, or out of the faith, and wayward; how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? Bring ye him hither to me.
18 And Jesus blamed him, and the devil went out from him; and the child was healed from that hour.
19 Then the disciples came to Jesus privily, and said to him, Why might not we cast him out?
20 Jesus saith to them, For your unbelief. Truly I say to you, if ye have faith, as a corn of sinapi, ye shall say to this hill, Pass thou from hence, and it shall pass; and nothing shall be impossible to you;
21 but this kind is not cast out, but by prayer and fasting.

Mrk 9:14–29

14 And he coming to his disciples, saw a great company about them, and the scribes disputing with them.
15 And anon all the people seeing Jesus, was astonied, and they dreaded; and they running to, greeted him.
16 And he asked them, What dispute ye among you?
17 And one of the company answered, and said, Master, I have brought to thee my son, that hath a dumb spirit;
18 and wherever he taketh him, he hurtleth him down, and he foameth, and beateth together with teeth, and waxeth dry. And I said to thy disciples, that they should cast him out, and they might not.
19 And he answered to them, and said, A! thou generation out of belief or unbelieveful, how long shall I be among you, how long shall I suffer you? Bring ye him to me.
20 And they brought him. And when he had seen him, anon the spirit troubled him; and he was thrown down to the ground, and wallowed, and foamed.
21 And he asked his father, How long is it, since this hath befallen to him? And he said, From childhood;
22 and oft he hath put him into the fire, and into water, to lose him; but if thou mayest anything, help us, and have mercy on us.
23 And Jesus said to him, If thou mayest believe, all things be possible to a man that believeth.
24 And anon the father of the child cried with tears, and said, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.
25 And when Jesus had seen the people running together, he menaced the unclean spirit, and said to him, Thou deaf and dumb spirit, I command thee, go out from him, and enter no more into him.
26 And he crying, and much wrenching him, went out from him; and he was made as dead, so that many said, that he was dead.
27 And Jesus held his hand, and lifted him up; and he rose.
28 And when he had entered into an house, his disciples asked him privily, Why might not we cast him out?
29 And he said to them, This kind in nothing may go out or This kind may not go out in anything, but in prayer and fasting.

Luk 9:37–43

37 But it was done in the day pursuing, when they came down of the hill, much people met them.
38 And lo! a man of the company cried, and said, Master, I beseech thee, behold my son, for I have no more;
39 and lo! a spirit taketh him, and suddenly he crieth, and hurtleth him down, and draweth him with foam or with froth, and scarcely he goeth away drawing him all to pieces.

41 And Jesus answered and said to them, A! unfaithful generation and wayward, how long shall I be with you, and suffer you? bring hither thy son.
42 And when he came nigh, the devil hurtled him down, and wrenched him. And Jesus blamed the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and yielded him to his father.
43 And all men wondered greatly in the greatness of God. And when all men wondered in all things that he did, he said to his disciples,
