Mark 9:14-27

141When they cameG2064 back to the disciplesG3101, they sawG3708 a largeG4183 crowdG3793 aroundG4012 them, and some scribesG1122 arguingG4802 with them.

15ImmediatelyG2117, when the entireG3956 crowdG3793 sawG3708 Him, they were 2amazedG1568 and began runningG4370 up to greetG782 Him.

16And He askedG1905 them, “WhatG5101 are you discussingG4802 with them?”

17And oneG1520 of the crowdG3793 answeredG611 Him, “TeacherG1320, I broughtG5342 You my sonG5207, possessedG2192 with a spiritG4151 which makes him muteG216;

18and 3wheneverG3699 it seizesG2638 him, it 4slamsG4486 him to the ground and he foamsG875 at the mouth, and grindsG5149 his teethG3599 and 5stiffensG3583 out. I toldG3004 Your disciplesG3101 to castG1544 it out, and they couldG2480 not do it.”

19And He answeredG611 them and saidG3004, “OG5599 unbelievingG571 generationG1074, howG2193 longG2193G4219 shall I be with you? HowG2193 longG2193G4219 shall I putG430 up with you? BringG5342 him to Me!”

20They broughtG5342 6the boy to Him. WhenG2532 he sawG3708 Him, immediatelyG2117 the spiritG4151 threwG4952 him into a convulsionG4952, and fallingG4098 to the groundG1093, he began rollingG2947 aroundG2947 and foamingG875 at the mouth.

21And He askedG1905 his fatherG3962, “HowG4214 longG5550 has thisG3778 beenG1510 happeningG1096 to him?” And he saidG3004, “From childhoodG3812.

22It has oftenG4178 thrownG906 him bothG2532 into the fireG4442 and into the waterG5204 to destroyG622 him. But ifG1487 You canG1410 do anythingG5100, takeG4697 pityG4697 on us and helpG997 us!”

23And JesusG2424 saidG3004 to him, “‘IfG1487 You canG1410?’ 7AllG3956 thingsG3956 are possibleG1415 to him who believesG4100.”

24ImmediatelyG2117 the boy’sG3813 fatherG3962 criedG2896 out and saidG3004, “I do believeG4100; helpG997 my unbeliefG570.”

25When JesusG2424 sawG3708 that 8a crowdG3793 was 9rapidlyG1998 gatheringG1998, He rebukedG2008 the uncleanG169 spiritG4151, sayingG3004 to it, “You deafG2974 and muteG216 spiritG4151, I 10commandG2004 you, comeG1831 out of him and do not enterG1525 him 11againG3371.”

26After cryingG2896 out and throwingG4682 him into terribleG4183 convulsionsG4682, it cameG1831 out; and the boy becameG1096 so muchG5616 likeG5616 a corpseG3498 that mostG4183 of them saidG3004, “He is deadG599!”

27But JesusG2424 tookG2902 him by the handG5495 and raisedG1453 him; and he gotG450 up.
