## Matthew 17:19-21 in Context (Verses 16–24 KJV)
 
 [16 ](/kjv/matthew/17/16) And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him.
 
 [17 ](/kjv/matthew/17/17) Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to me.
 
 [18 ](/kjv/matthew/17/18) And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour.
 
 [19 ](/kjv/matthew/17/19) Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out?
 
 [20 ](/kjv/matthew/17/20) And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.
 
 [21 ](/kjv/matthew/17/21) Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.
 
 [22 ](/kjv/matthew/17/22) ¶ And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men:
 
 [23 ](/kjv/matthew/17/23) And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised again. And they were exceeding sorry.
 
 [24 ](/kjv/matthew/17/24) ¶ And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received tribute *money* came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master pay tribute?
