And I brought him to your disciples, and they could not heal him. The disciples' failure to heal the boy is the occasion for Jesus' response about the unbelieving generation and the role of faith. The disciples who were left behind while the three went up the mountain attempted a healing and failed. The father's I brought him to your disciples communicates his expectation that the disciples shared Jesus' healing authority — and the failure that he encountered.
