Mark 9 💬 📚 📜 📕 ↷
Boy with an Evil Spirit
14 And forthwith all the people seeing JESUS, was astonished, and much afraid: and running to him, saluted him.
15 And he asked them, what do you question of among you?
16 And one of the multitude answering, said: Master, I have brought my son to thee, having a dumb spirit,
17 Who, wheresoever he taketh him, dasheth him, and he foameth, and gnasheth with the teeth, and withereth: and I spake to thy Disciples to cast him out, and they could not.
18 Who answering them, said: O incredulous generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? Bring him unto me.
19 And they brought him. And when he had seen him, immediately the spirit troubled him; and being thrown upon the ground, he tumbled foaming.
20 And he asked his father: How long time is it since this hath chanced unto him? But he said: From his infancy:
21 And oftentimes hath he cast him into fire and into waters, to destroy him. But if thou canst any thing, help us, having compassion on us.
22 And Jesus said to him: If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.
23 And incontinent the father of the boy crying out, with tears said: I do believe Lord; help my incredulity.
24 And when JESUS saw the people running together, he threatened the unclean spirit, saying to him: Deaf and dumb Spirit, I command thee, go out of him, and enter not any more into him.
25 And crying out; and greatly tearing him, he went out of him, and he became as dead, so that many said, that he is dead.
26 But JESUS holding his hand, lifted him up; and he rose.
27 And when he was entered into the house, his Disciples secretly asked him, why could not we cast him out?
28 And he said to them: This kind can go out by nothing but by prayer and fasting.
29 And departing thence they passed by Galilee, neither would he that any man should know.
