. 9:32-34. "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 lunatic,
and sore vexed, for oft-times 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
