Matthew

Matthew 17:18–20

¹⁸Then Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of the boy, and he was healed from that moment.

¹⁹Afterward the disciples came to Jesus privately and asked, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?”

²⁰“Because you have so little faith,” He answered. “For truly I tell you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”^c

Footnotes

c 17:20 BYZ and TR include ²¹But this kind does not come out except by prayer and fasting; see Mark 9:29|MRK 9:29.
