14 (9:3) And coming to the disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and the scribes disputing with them.
15 And immediately all the multitude seeing him, were highly pleased, and ran forward and saluted him.
16 And he asked, What were you disputing about with them?
17 And one of the multitude answered him, Teacher, I have brought my son to you, having a dumb spirit;
18 and wherever it takes him it convulses him, and he foams and grates his teeth, and becomes emaciated. And I spoke to your disciples to cast it out, and they could not.
19 And he answered and said to them, O faithless and perverse generation! How long shall I be with you? How long shall I suffer you? Bring him to me.
20 And they brought him to him. And seeing him, the spirit immediately affected him with convulsions, and he fell on the ground, and rolled about, foaming.
21 And he asked his father, How long a time is it since this came upon him? And he said, From a little child;
22 and it often casts him into fire, and into waters, to destroy him; but if you are able, help us, and have mercy on us.
23 And Jesus said to him, If you are able? all things are possible to him that believes.
24 And the father of the little child immediately crying out, said, I believe; help my unbelief.
25 (9:4) And Jesus seeing that a multitude ran together, rebuked the impure spirit, saying to him, Deaf and dumb spirit, I command you, come out of him, and enter into him no more.
26 And crying out and affecting him with many convulsions, he went out. And he was like a dead person, so that many said, He is dead.
27 But Jesus took him by the hand and raised him up, and he stood up.
28 And when he went into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could we not cast it out?
29 And he said to them, This kind can go out by nothing but prayer.
