6. And when the disciples heard this, they fell down on their faces and were extremely frightened.
7. And Jesus came and touched them and said, “Get up and do not be afraid.”
8. And when they lifted up their eyes they saw no one except him—Jesus alone.

16. And I brought him to your disciples, and they were not able to heal him.”
17. And Jesus answered and said, “O unbelieving and perverse generation! How long will I be with you? How long must 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 healed from that hour.
