Mark 9:18-29

18and wheresoever it seizes him it tears him, and he foams and gnashes his teeth, and he is withering away. And I spoke to thy disciples, that they might cast him out, and they could not.

19But he answering them says, O unbelieving generation! how long shall I be with you? how long shall I bear with you? bring him to me.

20And they brought him to him. And seeing him the spirit immediately tore him; and falling upon the earth he rolled foaming.

21And he asked his father, How long a time is it that it has been like this with him? And he said, From childhood;

22and often it has cast him both into fire and into waters that it might destroy him: but if thou couldst [do] anything, be moved with pity on us, and help us.

23And Jesus said to him, The 'if thou couldst' is [if thou couldst] believe: all things are possible to him that believes.

24And immediately the father of the young child crying out said [with tears], I believe, help mine unbelief.

25But Jesus, seeing that [the] crowd was running up together, rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I command thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him.

26And having cried out and torn [him] much, he came out; and he became as if dead, so that the most said, He is dead.

27But Jesus, having taken hold of him by the hand, lifted him up, and he arose.

28And when he was entered into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Wherefore could not we cast him out?

29And he said to them, This kind can go out by nothing but by prayer and fasting.
