  • PER196 A demon difficult to drive out

    The article explores the disciples’ failed attempt to cast a demon out of a young boy, which required Jesus’ intervention after the Transfiguration. The accounts in Matthew, Mark and Luke point to the weakness of their faith as the reason for their failure.

    Matthew 17.14-18 (King James Version) :
    And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a certain man, kneeling down to him, and saying,Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is lunatick, and sore vexed: for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, and oft into the water.And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him.Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to me.And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour.

Bring thy son hither.And as he was yet a coming, the devil threw him down, and tare him. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and delivered him again to his father.And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. But while they wondered every one at all things which Jesus did, he said unto his disciples,
