Context of Mark 9:25
23Jesus said to him, “As far as possibilities go, everything is possible for the person who believes.” 24The child’s father cried out at once, “I believe! Help my lack of faith.” When Jesus saw that a crowd was running to the scene, he gave an order to the evil spirit. He said, “You spirit that won’t let him talk, I command you to come out of him and never enter him again.” 26The evil spirit screamed, shook the child violently, and came out. The boy looked as if he were dead, and everyone said, “He’s dead!” 27Jesus took his hand and helped him to stand up.
