Matthew 17:15-17
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
15 Lord, do pity and have mercy on my son, for he has epilepsy (is [a]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 ([b]warped, wayward, rebellious) and [c]thoroughly perverse generation! How long am I to remain with you? How long am I to bear with you? Bring him here to Me.
