Mark 9:9-29

9As they were coming down from the mountain, Yeshua ordered them not to tell anyone what they had seen, until the Son of Man rose up from the dead.

10They kept this word to themselves, discussing among themselves what it is to rise up from the dead.

11And they questioned Him, saying, “Why do the Torah scholars say that Elijah must come first?”

12Now He told them, “Indeed Elijah comes first; he restores all things. And how is it written that the Son of Man must suffer much and be treated with contempt?

13I tell you that Elijah has come, and they did to him whatever they wanted, just as it is written about him.”

14When they came to the disciples, they saw a big crowd around them and the Torah scholars arguing with them.

15Suddenly, when the whole crowd saw Yeshua, they were amazed and began running to greet Him.

16He questioned them, “What are you arguing about with them?”

17And a man from the crowd answered Him, “Teacher, I brought You my son, who has a spirit that makes him mute.

18Whenever it seizes him, it throws him down; he foams at the mouth, grinds his teeth, and becomes stiff. I told Your disciples to drive it out, but they couldn’t!”

19And answering them, He said, “Oh faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring him to Me.”

20They brought the boy to Yeshua. When the spirit saw Him, immediately it threw the boy into a convulsion. The boy fell to the ground and began rolling around and foaming at the mouth.

21Yeshua asked the father, “How long has this been happening to him?” “Since he was a child,” the man answered.

22“It has often thrown him into fire or water to destroy him. But if You can do anything, have compassion and help us!”

23“‘If You can’?” Yeshua said to him. “All things are possible for one who believes!”

24Immediately the boy’s father cried out, “I believe! Help my unbelief!”

25When Yeshua saw that a crowd was gathering fast, He rebuked the unclean spirit, telling it, “I command you, deaf and mute spirit, come out of him and do not ever enter him again!”

26After howling and shaking the boy wildly, it came out. The boy became so much like a corpse that many were saying, “He’s dead!”

27But Yeshua took him by the hand and lifted him, and the boy stood up.

28After Yeshua came into the house, His disciples began questioning Him in private, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?”

29And He said to them, “This kind cannot come out except by prayer.”
