And I have brought him to your disciples, but they have not been able to heal him. Answering Jesus, he said: Oh unbelieving and perverse generation! How long shall I be with you? How long shall I put up with you? bring me here
And Jesus rebuked the demon, which came out of the boy, and he was healed from that hour. Then the disciples came to Jesus apart, and said: Why couldn’t we cast him out?
Jesus said to them: Because of your little faith; For truly I tell you, if you have faith like a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain: Move from here to there, and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you. But this kind does not come out except by prayer and fasting” (Matthew 17:14-21)
