Mark 9:14-29

BLB(i) 14 And having come to the disciples, they saw a great crowd around them, and scribes arguing with them. 15 And immediately the whole crowd, having seen Him, were greatly amazed, and running to Him, were greeting Him. 16 And He asked them, “What are you disputing with them?” 17 And one out of the crowd answered Him, “Teacher, I brought to You my son, having a mute spirit; 18 and whenever it seizes him, it throws him down; and he foams and gnashes his teeth, and is withering away. And I spoke to Your disciples, that they might cast it out, and they had no power.” 19 And answering him He says, “O unbelieving generation! Until when will I be with you? Until when will I bear with you? Bring him to Me.” 20 And they brought him to Him. And having seen Him, the spirit immediately threw him into convulsions, and having fallen upon the ground, he began rolling around, foaming. 21 And He asked his father, “How long a time is it that this has been with him?” And he said, “From childhood. 22 And often it casts him both into fire and into waters, that it might destroy him. But if You are able to do anything, having compassion on us, help us.” 23 And Jesus said to him, “If You are able? All things are possible to the one believing.” 24 Immediately the father of the child, having cried out, was saying, “I believe; help my unbelief!” 25 And Jesus, having seen that a crowd was running together, rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, “Mute and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him, and you may enter into him no more.” 26 And it came out, having cried out and having thrown him into many convulsions; and he became as if dead, in order for many to say that he was dead. 27 And Jesus, having taken him by the hand, raised him up, and he arose. 28 And He having entered into the house, His disciples were asking Him in private, “Why were we not able to cast it out?” 29 And He said to them, “This kind is able to go out by nothing except by prayer.”
