“And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him? And he said, Of a child.”
King James Version (KJV)
9:20 When he saw him - When the child saw Christ; when his deliverance was at hand. Immediately the spirit tore him - Made his last grand effort to destroy him. Is it not generally so, before Satan is cast out of a soul, of which he has long had possession?
9:22 If thou canst do any thing - In so desperate a case: Have compassion on us - Me as well as him.
9:23 If thou canst believe - As if he had said, The thing does not turn on my power, but on thy faith. I can do all things: canst thou believe?
And he asked his father, Howe long is it agoe since this came vnto him? And he said, Of a child.
