In this moment, Jesus addresses the crowd and His disciples, expressing a sense of frustration over their lack of faith. This statement comes after His disciples were unable to heal a boy possessed by a spirit. Jesus' words, though stern, are not without purpose. They serve as a call to deeper faith and reliance on God. His question, "How long shall I stay with you?" reflects His awareness of His limited time on earth and the urgency for His followers to grasp the power of faith.
Despite His frustration, Jesus' compassion shines through as He instructs them to bring the boy to Him. This demonstrates His readiness to act and His desire to teach through example. The passage challenges believers to examine their own faith and trust in God's power. It reassures us that even when faith falters, Jesus is patient and willing to guide us back to trust and belief. This moment is a reminder of the transformative power of faith and the importance of turning to Jesus in times of doubt.
