Seeker Overlay ON

* And coming to [His ] disciples , He saw a great crowd around them , and scribes arguing with them . * And immediately all the crowd , seeing Him , were greatly amazed , and they were running to [Him ] to greet Him . * And He asked the scribes , What are you discussing with them ? * And one of the crowd answered and said , Teacher , I have brought my son who has a dumb spirit to You . * And wherever he seizes him , he dashes him . And he foams and gnashes his teeth and pines away . And I spoke to Your disciples that they should cast him out , and they could not . * He answered him and said , O faithless generation , how long shall I be with you ? How long shall I bear with you ? Bring him to Me ! * And they brought him to Him . And when he saw Him , the spirit immediately convulsed him . And he fell on the ground and wallowed , foaming . * And He asked his father , How long ago has it been since this came to him ? And he said , From childhood . * And oftentimes it has cast him into the fire and into the waters to destroy him . But if You can do anything , have compassion on us and help us . * Jesus said to him , If you can believe , all things [are ] possible to him who believes . * And immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears , Lord , I believe . Help my unbelief . * And seeing that a crowd is running together , Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit , saying to him , Dumb and deaf spirit , I command you , come out of him and enter no more into him ! * And [the spirit ] cried out , throwing him into convulsions , and came out of him . And he was like one dead , so that many said , He is dead . * But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up , and he arose . * And He entering into a house , His disciples asked Him privately , [Why ] could we not cast him out ? * And He said to them , This kind can come out by nothing except by prayer and fasting . * And going out from there , they passed through Galilee . And He desired that no one should know . * For He taught His disciples and said to them , The Son of man is delivered into [the ] hands of men , and they shall kill him . And after He is killed , He shall rise the third day . * But they did not understand that saying and were afraid to ask Him .
