Mark 9:14-29

Worsley(i) 14 And when He came to the other disciples, He saw a great multitude about them, and the scribes disputing with them. 15 And immediately all the people, when they saw Him, were astonished; and running to Him, saluted Him. 16 And he asked the scribes, What are ye disputing about? 17 And one of the multitude answered, and said, Master I have brought unto thee my son, who is possessed by a dumb spirit: 18 and wherever it seizeth him, it convulseth him; and he fometh, and gnasheth his teeth, and thus he pineth away: and I desired thy disciples to cast him out, and they could not. 19 And He answered and said, O unbelieving 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 as soon as he saw Him, immediately the spirit threw him into convulsions: and he fell upon the ground, and rolled about foming. 21 And He asked his father, How long is it since this befel him? And he said, From a child. 22 And it has often thrown him both into the fire and into the waters to destroy him. But if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us and help us. 23 And Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. 24 And the father of the child immediately cried out and said with tears, Lord, I believe, help thou my unbelief. 25 when Jesus saw the people flock together, He rebuked the impure spirit, and said to him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I command thee, Come out of him, and enter no more into him. 26 And when he had rored and vehemently convulsed him, he came out of him: and the child was as one dead, so that many said, that he was dead. 27 But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up, and he arose. 28 And when He was come into the house, his disciples asked Him in private, Why could not we cast him out? 29 And He said unto them, This kind cannot be cast out, but by prayer and fasting.
