14  And when He came to the disciples, He saw a large crowd around them, and scribes disputing with them.

14  And when they came to the disciples, they saw a great multitude about them, and scribes questioning with them.

14  And approaching his disciples, he saw a great crowd surrounding them, and the scribes were arguing with them.

15  Immediately, when they saw Him, all the people were greatly amazed, and running to Him, they greeted Him.

15  And straightway all the multitude, when they saw him, were greatly amazed, and running to him saluted him.

15  And soon all the people, seeing Jesus, were astonished and struck with fear, and hurrying to him, they greeted him.

16  And He asked the scribes, "What are you disputing about with them?"

16  And he questioned them, “What are you arguing about among yourselves?”

17  Then one of the crowd answered and said, "Teacher, I brought my son to You, because he has a mute spirit.

17  And one of the multitude answered him, Teacher, I brought unto thee my son, who hath a dumb spirit;

17  And one from the crowd responded by saying: “Teacher, I have brought to you my son, who has a mute spirit.

18  And wherever it seizes him, it throws him down, and he foams at the mouth, and gnashes his teeth, and he becomes rigid. So I spoke to Your disciples, that they might cast it out, but they were not able."

18  and wheresoever it taketh him, it dasheth him down: and he foameth, and grindeth his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to thy disciples that they should cast it out; and they were not able.

18  And whenever it takes hold of him, it throws him down, and he foams and gnashes with his teeth, and he becomes unconscious. And I asked your disciples to cast him out, and they could not.”

19  He answered him and said, "O unbelieving generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him to Me."

20  Then they brought the boy to Him. And when he saw Him, immediately the spirit convulsed him, and having fallen on the ground he was rolling about, foaming at the mouth.

20  And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him, straightway the spirit tare him grievously; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming.

21  So He asked his father, "How long has this been happening to him?"And he said, "From childhood.

21  And he questioned his father, “How long has this been happening to him?” But he said: “From infancy.

22  And often it threw him both into the fire and into the waters so that it may destroy him. But if You are able [to do] anything, help us and have compassion on us."

22  And many times it has thrown him into the fire and into the water to destroy him; but whatever you can do, help me, and have mercy on me.
