Context of Mark 9:25
23Jesus said to the father, ‘You should not say, “If you can do anything.” Everything is possible for those people who believe.’ 24Immediately, the boy's father shouted, ‘Oh! I believe! Help me to believe more!’ Jesus saw that the crowd of people was quickly becoming bigger. So he told the bad spirit to stop. Jesus said to it, ‘Spirit, I am telling you that you must leave this boy. He cannot hear or speak because of you. I tell you to come out of him! You must never go into him again.’ 26The spirit screamed. It caused the boy's body to shake many times. Then it came out of him. The boy seemed to be dead, so many people said, ‘He is dead.’ 27But Jesus held the boy's hand and he helped the boy to stand up.
