When Jesus, Peter, James and John were come unto the city’s gates a multitude of people thronged the way.
2 The nine apostles who went not with Jesus to the mount, had tried to heal an epileptic child who was obsessed, and they had failed; the people waited for the coming of the Lord.
3 When Jesus came the father of the child knelt down before him and implored his help.
4 He said, My master, I beseech that you will look in pity on my son, my only child; he is an epileptic child and suffers grievously.
5 Sometimes he falls into the fire and is burned; again he falls into the water and is like to drown; and many times a day he falls, he grinds his teeth, the foam pours from his mouth.
6 I took my child to your disciples, and they failed to give relief.
7 And as he spoke a servant brought the child before the Lord (the child spoke not, for he was dumb), and instantly he fell upon the ground, he foamed, he writhed in agony.
8 And Jesus said, How long has he been troubled thus?
9 The father said, From infancy; and we have sought in many lands for help, but found it not; but I believe that you can speak the Word and heal my son.
10 And Jesus said, Faith is the power of God. All things are possible for him who in his heart believes.
