They brought the boy to him, and when the spirit saw Jesus, it immediately threw him into a convulsion, and he fell on the ground, rolling around and foaming at the mouth.
Y’all are of your* father the devil, and y’all want to do what your* father desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and doesn’t stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks on his own, for he is a liar, and the father of lies.
While the boy was approaching, the demon slammed him on the ground and threw him into a convulsion. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.
For Jesus had commanded the impure spirit to come out of the man. It has seized him many times, and he was chained hand and foot and kept under guard, but he would break the bonds, and the demon would drive him into deserted places.
Wherever it seizes him, it throws him down, and he foams at the mouth, grinds his teeth, and becomes rigid. I asked your disciples to cast it out, but they couldn’t.”
A spirit seizes him, and he suddenly screams; it throws him into convulsions with foaming at the mouth. It hardly ever leaves him and is torturing him.
