12. “But I say to you that Ěliyahu has already come, and they did not recognise him but did to him whatever they wished. In this way the Son of Aḏam is also about to suffer by them.”
13. Then the taught ones understood that He had spoken to them about Yoḥanan the Immerser.
14. And when they came to the crowd, a man came up to Him, kneeling down to Him and saying,
15. “Master, have compassion on my son, for he is an epileptic and suffers badly, for he often falls into the fire and often into the water.
16. “And I brought him to Your taught ones, but they were unable to heal him.”
17. And יהושע answering, said, “O generation, unbelieving and perverted, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring him here to Me.”
18. And יהושע rebuked the demon, and he came out of him. And the child was healed from that hour.
19. Then the taught ones came to יהושע by Himself and said, “Why were we unable to cast him out?”
20. And יהושע said to them, “Because of your unbelief, for truly, I say to you, if you have belief as a mustard seed, you shall say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it shall move. And no matter shall be impossible for you.
21. “But this kind does not go out except through prayer and fasting.”
22. And while they were staying in Galil, יהושע said to them, “The Son of Aḏam is about to be delivered up into the hands of men,
23. and they shall kill Him, and the third day He shall be raised up.” And they were deeply grieved.
24. And when they came into Kephar Naḥum, those who received the tax came to Kĕpha and said, “Does your Teacher not pay the tax?”
25. He said, “Yea.” And when he came into the house, יהושע spoke to him first, saying, “What do you think, Shim‛on? From whom do the sovereigns of the earth take toll or tax, from their own sons or from the strangers?”
