Mark 9:19-29

Murdock(i) 19 Jesus answered, and said to them: O incredulous generation! How long shall I be with you? how long bear with you? Bring him to me. 20 And they brought him to him. And when the spirit saw him, immediately he shook him; and he fell upon the ground, and wallowed and foamed. 21 And Jesus asked his father, how long a time he had been thus. He said to him: Lo, from his childhood. 22 And many times it hath thrown him into the fire, and into the water, to destroy him. But, if thou canst do any thing, aid me and have compassion on me. 23 Jesus said to him: If thou canst believe; every thing can be, to him that believeth. 24 And immediately the father of the child cried out, while he wept and said: I believe; aid thou the defect of my faith. 25 And when Jesus saw that the people were, running and collecting around him, he rebuked the unclean spirit, and said to him: Thou deaf and unspeaking spirit, I command thee, come out of him; and no more enter him. 26 And the demon cried out greatly, and bruised him, and came out. And he was as a dead person; so that many would say, he is dead. 27 And Jesus took him by the hand, and raised him up. 28 And when Jesus entered the house, his disciples asked him privately: Why could not we cast him out? 29 He saith to them: This kind can come out, by nothing but fasting and prayer.
