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

    16And he asked the scribes, What question ye with them?

    17And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought unto thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit;

    18And wheresoever he taketh him, he teareth him: and he foameth, and gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to thy disciples that they should cast him out; and they could not.

    27But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose.
