11 The father cried, in tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.
12 And Jesus spoke the Word of power; the epileptic child lay in a swoon; he did not breathe, and all the people said, The child is dead.
13 But Jesus took him by the hand and said: Arise; and he arose and spoke.
14 The people were amazed, and many said, This surely is a man of God, for no such power was ever given to man.
15 Then Jesus and the twelve went to the house, and after they had taken food and been refreshed, the nine disciples said,
16 Lord, why could we not heal this child? We spoke the Word; but even that was powerless.
17 And Jesus said, Your great success in all your former work has made you careless, and you forgot to recognize the power of God.
18 Without the spirit of the Word, the Word is like an idle tale; and you forgot to pray.
19 There is no faith without the prayer of faith. Faith is the wings of prayer; but wings alone fly not.
20 By prayer and faith you can bring down the mountain peaks, and cast them in the sea; the little hills will skip about like lambs at your command.
