Context of Mark 9:25
23Jesus said to him, “‘If you can’? Everything is possible for the one who believes.” 24Immediately the father of the boy cried out, “I do believe; help my unbelief!” When Jesus saw that a crowd was quickly gathering, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, “You mute and deaf spirit, I command you: Come out of him and never enter him again.” 26Then it came out, shrieking and throwing him into terrible convulsions. The boy became like a corpse, so that many said, “He’s dead.” 27But Jesus, taking him by the hand, raised him, and he stood up.
