¹⁴ And when they approached the multitude, a man came up to Him, kneeling before Him and saying, ¹⁵ Lord, do pity and have mercy on my son, for he has epilepsy (is moonstruck) and he suffers terribly; for frequently he falls into the fire and many times into the water. ¹⁶ And I brought him to Your disciples, and they were not able to cure him. ¹⁷ And Jesus answered, O you unbelieving (warped, wayward, rebellious) and thoroughly perverse generation! How long am I to remain with you? How long am I to bear with you? Bring him here to Me. ¹⁸ And Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of him, and the boy was cured instantly. ¹⁹ Then the disciples came to Jesus and asked privately, Why could we not drive it out? ²⁰ He said to them, Because of the littleness of your faith . For truly I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, Move from here to yonder place, and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you. ²¹ But this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting. ²² When they were going about here and there in Galilee, Jesus said to them, The Son of Man is going to be turned over into the hands of men. ²³ And they will kill Him, and He will be raised again on the third day. And they were deeply and exceedingly grieved and distressed. ²⁴ When they arrived in Capernaum, the collectors of the half shekel went up to Peter and said, Does not your Teacher pay the half shekel? ²⁵ He answered, Yes. And when he came home, Jesus spoke to him first, saying, What do you think, Simon? From whom do earthly rulers collect duties or tribute--from their own sons or from others not of their own family? ²⁶ And when Peter said, From other people not of their own family, Jesus said to him, Then the sons are exempt. ²⁷ However, in order not to give offense and cause them to stumble go down to the sea and throw in a hook. Take the first fish that comes up, and when you open its mouth you will find there a shekel. Take it and give it to them to pay the temple tax for Me and for yourself.
