Mark 9:14-32

Chapter 9
14 And when they came to the disciples, they saw a large crowd around them and scribes discussing with them. 15 And immediately all the crowd, having seen him, were utterly amazed, and running up, they greeted him. 16 And he asked them, "What are you discussing with them?" 17 And one man from the crowd answered him, “Teacher, I brought my son to you because he has a mute spirit.” 18 And wherever it seizes him, it throws him down, and he foams and gnashes his teeth and withers. And I said to your disciples to cast it out, and they were not able. 19 But he answered them: "O unbelieving generation, how long must I be with you? How long must I put up with you? Bring him to me." 20 And they brought him to him. And seeing him, the spirit immediately convulsed him violently; and falling on the ground, it rolled foaming. 21 And he asked his father, "How long has this been happening to him?" But he said, "From childhood." 22 And often it threw him into fire and into waters in order that it might destroy him; but if you are able, help us, having compassion on us. 23 But Jesus said to him, "If you can? All things are possible to the one who believes." 24 Immediately the father of the child cried out and said, "I believe; help my unbelief." 25 But seeing that the crowd was running together, Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, "You mute and deaf spirit, I command you, come out from him and no longer enter into him." 26 And after crying out and convulsing many times, it came out. And he became like a dead man, so that many said he had died. 27 But Jesus took his hand and raised him up, and he stood. 28 When he had entered the house, his disciples asked him privately, “Why couldn’t we cast it out?” 29 And he said to them, "This kind can come out by nothing except prayer." 30 And from there, after they went out, they passed through Galilee, and he did not want anyone to know. 31 For he was teaching his disciples and saying to them, "The Son of Man is being handed over into the hands of men, and they will kill him, and having been killed, after three days he will rise." 32 But they did not understand the word, and they were afraid to ask him.
