Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out?

Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.

In composition it retains the same general importance.
• G1437 — ἐάν (eán, eh-an'): if — from εἰ and ἄν; a conditional particle; in case that, provided, etc.; often used in connection with other particles to denote indefiniteness or uncertainty:--before, but, except, (and) if, (if) so, (what-, whither-)soever, though, when (-soever), whether (or), to whom, (who-)so(-ever).

• G3327 — μεταβαίνω (metabaínō, met-ab-ah'-ee-no): I leave, depart, remove, pass over — from μετά and the base of βάσις; to change place:--depart, go, pass, remove.
