Mark Chapter 9 Verse 21And he asked his father, ‹How long is it ago since this came unto him?› And he said, Of a child.

And they asked him, saying, Why say the scribes that Elias must first come?

And he answered and told them, ‹Elias verily cometh first, and restoreth all things; and how it is written of the Son of man, that he must suffer many things, and be set at nought.›

‹But I say unto you, That Elias is indeed come, and they have done unto him whatsoever they listed, as it is written of him.›

And when he came to [his] disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and the scribes questioning with them.

And straightway all the people, when they beheld him, were greatly amazed, and running to [him] saluted him.

And he asked the scribes, ‹What question ye with them?›

And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought unto thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit;

And wheresoever he taketh him, he teareth him: and he foameth, and gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to thy disciples that they should cast him out; and they could not.

He answereth him, and saith, ‹O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me.›

And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him, straightway the spirit tare him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming.

And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us.

Jesus said unto him, ‹If thou canst believe, all things› [are] ‹possible to him that believeth.›

When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, [Thou] ‹dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him.›

And [the spirit] cried, and rent him sore, and came out of him: and he was as one dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead.

But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose.

And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast him out?

And he said unto them, ‹This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.›

And they departed thence, and passed through Galilee; and he would not that any man should know [it].

For he taught his disciples, and said unto them, ‹The Son of man is delivered into the hands of men, and they shall kill him; and after that he is killed, he shall rise the third day.›
