Matthew 17:14-23

Jesus Casts Out a Demon

14 ^aAnd when they came to the crowd, a man came up to Jesus, falling on his knees before Him and saying, 15 “¹Lord, have mercy on my son, for he has ²^aseizures and suffers terribly; for he often falls into the fire and often into the water. 16 And I brought him to Your disciples, and they could not cure him.” 17 And Jesus answered and said, “O you unbelieving and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring him here to Me.” 18 And Jesus rebuked him, and the demon came out of him, and the boy was cured ¹at once.
19 Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, “Why could we not cast it out?” 20 And He *said to them, “Because of your little faith; for truly I say to you, ^aif you have faith ¹the size of ^ba mustard seed, you will say to ^cthis mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and ^dnothing will be impossible to you. 21 ¹[^aBut this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.”]
22 ^aAnd while they were gathering together in Galilee, Jesus said to them, “The Son of Man is going to be ¹delivered into the hands of men; 23 and ^athey will kill Him, and He will be raised on the third day.” And they were deeply grieved.

Luke 9:37-45

Jesus Casts Out a Demon

37 ^aNow it happened on the next day, that when they came down from the mountain, a large crowd met Him. 38 And behold, a man from the crowd shouted, saying, “Teacher, I beg You to look at my son, for he is my ¹only one, 39 and behold, a spirit seizes him, and he suddenly screams, and it throws him into a convulsion with foaming at the mouth, and only with difficulty does it leave him, mauling him as it leaves. 40 And I begged Your disciples to cast it out, and they could not.” 41 And Jesus answered and said, “You unbelieving and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you and put up with you? Bring your son here.” 42 Now while he was still approaching, the demon ¹slammed him to the ground and threw him into a convulsion. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit and healed the boy and gave him back to his father. 43 And they were all astonished at the ^amajesty of God.

Jesus Foretells His Death and Resurrection

^bBut while everyone was marveling at all that He was doing, He said to His disciples, 44 “Put these words into your ears; ^afor the Son of Man is going to be ¹delivered into the hands of men.” 45 But ^athey ¹did not understand this statement, and it was concealed from them so that they would not perceive it, and they were afraid to ask Him about this statement.
