29
Then he said to Gehazi, "Tuck your cloak into your belt, take my staff in your hand, and go your way. If you meet any man, don't greet him; and if anyone greets you, don't answer him again. Then lay my staff on the face of the child."
30
The mother of the child said, "As Yahweh lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you." He arose, and followed her.
31
Gehazi passed on before them, and laid the staff on the face of the child; but there was neither voice, nor hearing. Therefore he returned to meet him, and told him, saying, "The child has not awakened."
19
Then the disciples came to Jesus privately, and said, "Why weren't we able to cast it out?"
20
He said to them, "Because of your unbelief. For most certainly I tell you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will tell this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.
40
I begged your disciples to cast it out, and they couldn't."

By faith in his name, his name has made this man strong, whom you see and know. Yes, the faith which is through him has given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.

The evil spirit answered, "Jesus I know, and Paul I know, but who are you?"

Quel émouvant contraste entre la gloire de la montagne et cette scène de douleur ! C'est le ciel et la terre.
Ce contraste, Raphaël l'a admirablement reproduit dans son tableau de la transfiguration.
Les trois premiers évangiles le font vivement ressortir en suivant le même ordre dans leurs récits. Marc (Marc 9.14-29) peint avec le plus grand détail et de la manière la plus vivante le misérable état de ce jeune malade et la douleur de son père. (Voir les notes.)
Les symptômes mentionnés dans les trois évangiles (il tombe souvent, "il écume," Marc) semblent indiquer que le jeune homme était épileptique. De plus, le père avait cru remarquer que les phases de la lune exerçaient une influence sur la maladie de son fils (lunatique).
On comprend que les disciples n'eussent pu guérir une maladie aussi invétérée, dont le jeune homme était affligé dès son enfance. (Marc 9.21) Cela n'avait fait qu'augmenter les angoisses du père.
