And when they had come to the multitude, a man came to Him kneeling down to Him and saying, "Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is an epileptic and suffers severely; for he often falls into the fire and often into the water. "So I brought him to Your disciples, but they could not cure him." Matthew 17:14-16
And when they had come to the multitude, a man came to Him kneeling down to Him and saying, "Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is an epileptic and suffers severely; for he often falls into the fire and often into the water.

Jesus answered and said, "O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him to Me." Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of him, and the child was cured from that very hour.
The disciples came to Jesus privately and asked Him why they couldn't cast it out and He said to them, "Because of your unbelief!" And then He told them if they had faith as a mustard seed, they could move mountains, and nothing would be impossible to them.
Jesus was leading His disciples by on-the-job training, not Sunday school or classroom teaching but actually doing the ministry themselves. He also told them that some demons won't go out except with prayer and fasting!
"However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting." Matthew 17:21
