Mark 9:17-22

17And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought to thee my son, who hath a dumb spirit; 18And wherever he taketh him, he teareth him: and he foameth, and gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away: and I spoke to thy disciples that they should cast him out; and they could not.1 19He answered him, and saith, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I bear with you? bring him to me. 20And they brought him to him: and when he saw him, immediately the spirit tore him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming. 21And he asked his father, How long is it since this came to him? And he said, From a child. 22And often it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us.
