riversident - Mark:9:14-32

riversident@Mark:9:14 @ When they came to his disciples, they saw a great crowd around them and scribes debating with them.

riversident@Mark:9:15 @ At once the whole crowd saw him and were amazed, and they ran to him and welcomed him.

riversident@Mark:9:16 @ He asked them,

riversident@Mark:9:17 @ One of the crowd answered, "Teacher, I have brought my son to you. He has a dumb spirit,

riversident@Mark:9:18 @ and whenever it attacks him it convulses him and he foams at the mouth and grinds his teeth. He is wasting away. I asked your disciples to cast it out, but they had not the power."

riversident@Mark:9:19 @ Jesus answered,

riversident@Mark:9:20 @ They brought him to him. As soon as the spirit saw Jesus, he convulsed the boy so that he fell on the ground and rolled about, foaming at the mouth.

riversident@Mark:9:21 @ Jesus asked the father, He said, "From early childhood.

riversident@Mark:9:22 @ Often it has thrown him into the fire or into the water to destroy him. But if you can do anything, have pity on us and help us."

riversident@Mark:9:23 @ Jesus said,

riversident@Mark:9:24 @ At once the father of the child cried out, "I believe; help my unbelief."

riversident@Mark:9:25 @ Jesus saw that the crowd was rapidly increasing, so he rebuked the impure spirit with the words,

riversident@Mark:9:26 @ He screamed and convulsed the boy and came out. The boy looked like a corpse, so that most of them said, "He is dead."

riversident@Mark:9:27 @ But Jesus took him by the hand and raised him and he stood up.

riversident@Mark:9:28 @ After he had gone into the house, his disciples asked him privately, "Why were we not able to cast it out?"

riversident@Mark:9:29 @ He said,

riversident@Mark:9:30 @ After leaving there, they were passing through Galilee, and he did not wish any one to know it.

riversident@Mark:9:31 @ For he was teaching his disciples and telling them that the Son of Man would be betrayed into the hands of men and that they would kill him, and that three days after being killed he would rise.

riversident@Mark:9:32 @ But they did not understand what he said and were afraid to question him.
