Mark 9:13–27

¹³And coming to his disciples he saw a great multitude about them and the scribes disputing with them.

¹⁴And presently all the people, seeing Jesus, were astonished and struck with fear: and running to him, they saluted him.

¹⁵And he asked them: What do you question about among you?

¹⁶And one of the multitude, answering, said: Master, I have brought my son to thee, having a dumb spirit.

¹⁷Who, wheresoever he taketh him, dasheth him: and he foameth and gnasheth with the teeth and pineth away. And I spoke to thy disciples to cast him out: and they could not.

¹⁸Who answering them, said: O incredulous generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I suffer you? Bring him unto me.

¹⁹And they brought him. And when he had seen him, immediately the spirit troubled him and being thrown down upon the ground, he rolled about foaming.

²⁰And he asked his father: How long time is it since this hath happened unto him? But he said: From his infancy.

²¹And oftentimes hath he cast him into the fire and into the waters to destroy him. But if thou canst do any thing, help us, having compassion on us.

²²And Jesus saith to him: If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.

²³And immediately the father of the boy crying out, with tears said: I do believe, Lord. Help my unbelief.

²⁴And when Jesus saw the multitude running together, he threatened the unclean spirit, saying to him: Deaf and dumb spirit, I command thee, go out of him and enter not any more into him.

²⁵And crying out and greatly tearing him, he went out of him. And he became as dead, so that many said: He is dead.

²⁶But Jesus taking him by the hand, lifted him up. And he arose.

²⁷And when he was come into the house, his disciples secretly asked him: Why could not we cast him out?
