Mark 9:14-29

Godbey(i) 14 And having come to the disciples, He saw a great multitude around them and the scribes disputing with them! 15 And immediately the whole multitude, seeing Him, became excited, and running to Him, seized Him; and He asked the scribes, 16 Why are you disputing with them? 17 And one responding from the multitude, said, Teacher, I have brought my son to thee, having a dumb spirit. 18 And when he may take him, he lacerates him: and he froths, and gnashes his teeth, and pines away. And I said to thy disciples, that they should cast him out; and they were not able. 19 And He responding to them, says, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I bear with you? Bring him hither to me. 20 And they brought him to Him; and seeing Him, immediately the spirit convulsed him; and falling on the ground, he continued to wallow, foaming. 21 And He asked his father, How long is it since this occurred to him? And he said, from childhood: 22 and frequently he cast him into the fire and into the waters, in order that he may destroy him: but if you are able to do anything, assist us, being moved with compassion towards us. 23 And Jesus said to him, It is this, if you are able (to believe); all things are possible to him that believeth. 24 And immediately the father of the child crying out with tears, continued to say, I believe; assist thou my unbelief. 25 And Jesus seeing that the multitude are running together, rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to him, Dumb and deaf spirit, I command thee, come out from him, and enter no more into him. 26 And crying out, and convulsing he came out. And he became like a corpse; so that many said, that, he is dead. 27 And Jesus, taking him by the hand, lifted him up; and he stood up. 28 And His disciples asked I Iim privately, having come into the house, Why were we not able to cast him out? 29 And He said unto them, This kind is able to come out by nothing, but by prayer.
