Matthew 17:15
This is a strange case. Reading it in Mark also, we can see that this sickness was due to demon possession. However, looking at some of the symptoms it sounds a bit like epilepsy. So, it was possession, but it was a bit different from other instances that Jesus had come across in the past. This has led some to think that it was harder to deal with. For Christ, there is nothing ‘harder’ or ‘easier’ about it. As he indicates later, those living a life of faith will find the Father able to answer prayers for even such strange cases.
