Mark 9:14–27

¹⁴And having come unto the disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and scribes questioning with them, ¹⁵and immediately, all the multitude having seen him, were amazed, and running near, were saluting him. ¹⁶And he questioned the scribes, ‘What dispute ye with them?’ ¹⁷and one out of the multitude answering said, ‘Teacher, I brought my son unto thee, having a dumb spirit; ¹⁸and wherever it doth seize him, it doth tear him, and he foameth, and gnasheth his teeth, and pineth away; and I spake to thy disciples that they may cast it out, and they were not able.’ ¹⁹And he answering him, said, ‘O generation unbelieving, till when shall I be with you? till when shall I suffer you? bring him unto me;’ ²⁰and they brought him unto him, and he having seen him, immediately the spirit tare him, and he, having fallen upon the earth, was wallowing—foaming. ²¹And he questioned his father, ‘How long time is it since this came to him?’ and he said, ‘From childhood, ²²and many times also it cast him into fire, and into water, that it might destroy him; but if thou art able to do anything, help us, having compassion on us.’ ²³And Jesus said to him, ‘If thou art able to believe! all things are possible to the one that is believing;’ ²⁴and immediately the father of the child, having cried out, with tears said, ‘I believe, sir; be helping mine unbelief.’ ²⁵Jesus having seen that a multitude doth run together, rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, ‘Spirit—dumb and deaf—I charge thee, come forth out of him, and no more thou mayest enter into him;’ ²⁶and having cried, and rent him much, it came forth, and he became as dead, so that many said that he was dead, ²⁷but Jesus, having taken him by the hand, lifted him up, and he arose.
