Matthew 17:19 Context
17Then Iesus answered, and said, O faithlesse and peruerse generation, how long shall I bee with you? howe long shal I suffer you? bring him hither to me. 18And Iesus rebuked the deuill, and hee departed out of him: and the childe was cured from that very houre. 19Then came the Disciples to Iesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out? 20And Iesus said vnto them, Because of your vnbeliefe: for verily I say vnto you, If yee haue faith as a graine of mustard seed, yee shall say vnto this mountaine; Remoue hence to yonder place: and it shall remoue, and nothing shall be vnpossible vnto you. 21Howbeit, this kind goeth not out, but by prayer and fasting.
