Mark Chapter 9 Verse 27But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose.

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

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.›

And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.

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.

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.›

But they understood not that saying, and were afraid to ask him.

And he came to Capernaum: and being in the house he asked them, ‹What was it that ye disputed among yourselves by the way?›

But they held their peace: for by the way they had disputed among themselves, who [should be] the greatest.

And he sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto them, ‹If any man desire to be first,› [the same] ‹shall be last of all, and servant of all.›

And he took a child, and set him in the midst of them: and when he had taken him in his arms, he said unto them,

‹Whosoever shall receive one of such children in my name, receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me.›
