Mark 9:13-34

13But I sayG3004 to you that ElijahG2243 has 1indeedG2532 comeG2064, and they didG4160 to him whateverG3745 they wantedG2309, justG2531 asG2531 it is writtenG1125 of him.”

142And when they cameG2064 back to the other disciplesG3101, they sawG3708 a largeG4183 crowdG3793 aroundG4012 them, and some scribesG1122 arguingG4802 with them. 15ImmediatelyG2117, when the entireG3956 crowdG3793 sawG3708 Him, they were 3amazedG1568 and began runningG4370 upG4370 to greetG782 Him. 16And He askedG1905 them, “WhatG5101 are you disputingG4802 with them?” 17And oneG1520 person from the crowdG3793 answeredG611 Him, “TeacherG1320, I broughtG5342 You my sonG5207, because he hasG2192 a spiritG4151 that makes him unableG216 toG216 speakG216; 18and 4wheneverG3699 it seizesG2638 him, it slamsG4486 him toG4486 theG4486 groundG4486, and he foamsG875 at the mouth and grindsG5149 his teethG3599 and becomes stiffG3583. And I toldG3004 Your disciplesG3101 soG2443 thatG2443 they would castG1544 it outG1544, but 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 upG430 with you? BringG5342 him to Me!” 20And they broughtG5342 5the boy to Him. WhenG2532 he sawG3708 Him, the spiritG4151 immediatelyG2117 threwG4952 him intoG4952 convulsionsG4952, 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 killG622 him. But ifG1487 You canG1410 do anythingG5100, takeG4697 pityG4697 on us and helpG997 us!” 23But JesusG2424 saidG3004 to him, “‘IfG1487 You canG1410?’ 6AllG3956 thingsG3956 are possibleG1415 for the one who believesG4100.” 24ImmediatelyG2117 the boy’sG3813 fatherG3962 criedG2896 outG2896 and saidG3004, “I do believeG4100; helpG997 my unbeliefG570!” 25When JesusG2424 sawG3708 that 7a crowdG3793 was 8rapidlyG1998 gatheringG1998, He rebukedG2008 the uncleanG169 spiritG4151, sayingG3004 to it, “You muteG216 and deafG2974 spiritG4151, I 9commandG2004 you, comeG1831 outG1831 of him and do not enterG1525 him 10againG3371!” 26And after cryingG2896 outG2896 and throwingG4682 him intoG4682 terribleG4183 convulsionsG4682, it cameG1831 outG1831; and the boy becameG1096 soG5620 muchG5620 likeG5616 a corpseG3498 thatG5620 mostG4183 of them saidG3004, “He is deadG599!” 27But JesusG2424 tookG2902 him by the handG5495 and raisedG1453 him, and he gotG450 upG450. 28When He cameG1525 11into the houseG3624, His disciplesG3101 began askingG1905 Him privatelyG2596G2398, “Why is it that we couldG1410 not castG1544 it outG1544?” 29And He saidG3004 to them, “ThisG3778 kindG1085 cannotG1410G3762 comeG1831 outG1831 by anythingG3762 exceptG1487G3361 prayerG4335.”

3012And fromG2547 thereG2547 they wentG1831 outG1831 and began to goG3899 throughG1223 GalileeG1056, and He did not wantG2309 anyoneG5100 to knowG1097 about it. 31For He was teachingG1321 His disciplesG3101 and tellingG3004 them, “13The SonG5207 of ManG444 is to be 14handedG3860G5495 overG3860 to menG444, and they will killG615 Him; and when He has been killedG615, He will riseG450 threeG5140 daysG2250 laterG3326.” 32But 15they 16did not understandG50 this statementG4487, and they wereG5399 afraidG5399 to askG1905 Him.

3317They cameG2064 to CapernaumG2746; and when He was in 18the houseG3614, He began to questionG1905 them: “WhatG5101 were you discussingG1260 on the wayG3598?” 34But they keptG4623 silentG4623, for on the wayG3598 19they had discussedG1256 with oneG240 anotherG240 whichG5101 of them was the greatestG3173.
