If it’s God’s will to heal and Jesus healed this boy ([[Matthew 17:18]]), why couldn’t the disciples get him healed? The disciples who asked Jesus this question, “Why could we not cast him out?” They had already been given power and authority to heal the sick and cast out devils ([[Matthew 10:1]] and [[Matthew 10:8|8]]). This is why the disciples were confused. The answer Jesus gave in the first part of [[Matthew 17:20]] is very revealing: | |||

<blockquote>''<big>“</big> <small><sup>8</sup></small> Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give. - [[Matthew 10:8]] <ref>King James Version (KJV)</ref></blockquote> | |||
