Mark 9:14-28

141And 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 2amazedG1568 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 3wheneverG3699 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 4the 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?’ 5AllG3956 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 6a crowdG3793 was 7rapidlyG1998 gatheringG1998, He rebukedG2008 the uncleanG169 spiritG4151, sayingG3004 to it, “You muteG216 and deafG2974 spiritG4151, I 8commandG2004 you, comeG1831 outG1831 of him and do not enterG1525 him 9againG3371!”

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 10into the houseG3624, His disciplesG3101 began askingG1905 Him privatelyG2596G2398, “Why is it that we couldG1410 not castG1544 it outG1544?”
