Mark 9:17-29

Worrell(i) 17 And one of the multitude answered Him, "Teacher, I have brought to Thee my son, who has a dumb spirit; 18 and wheresoever it seizes upon him, it tears him, and he foams, and gnashes his teeth, and pines away. And I spake to Thy disciples, that they should cast it out; and they were not able." 19 And He, answering, saith to them, "O faithless generation! how long shall I be with you! how long shall I bear with you? Bring him to Me." 20 And they brought him to Him. And, seeing Him, the spirit straightway convulsed him; and, falling upon the ground, he was wallowing, foaming. 21 And He asked his father, "How long a time is it since this has befallen him?" And he said, "From a child. 22 And oft-times it cast him both into the fire and into the water, to destroy him; but, if Thou canst do anything, having compassion on us, help us!" 23 Jesus said to him, "'If thou canst!' All things are possible to him that believes." 24 Straight-way the father of the child, crying out, said, "I believe; help Thou my unbelief!" 25 And Jesus, seeing that a multitude was running together, rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, "Deaf and dumb spirit, I command you, come out of him, and enter no more into him." 26 And, having cried out, and convulsed him much, it came out; and he became as one dead; so that many said, "He died!" 27 But Jesus, taking hold of his hand, raised him, and he stood up. 28 And, when He came into a house, His disciples asked Him privately, "Why could not we cast it out?" 29 And He said to them, "This kind can come out by nothing, except by prayer."
