Mark:9:17-27
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And one of the multitude answered and said ,
Master ,
I have brought unto thee my son ,
which hath a dumb spirit ;
*
And wheresoever he taketh him ,
he teareth him :
and he foameth ,
and gnasheth with his teeth ,
and pineth away :
and I spake to thy disciples that they should cast him out ;
and they could not .
*
He answereth him ,
and saith ,
O faithless generation ,
how long shall I be with you ?
how long shall I suffer you ?
bring him unto me .
*
And they brought him unto him :
and when he saw him ,
straightway the spirit tare him ;
and he fell on the ground ,
and wallowed foaming .
*
And he asked his father ,
How long is it ago since this came unto him ?
And he said ,
Of a child .
*
And ofttimes 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 .
*
Jesus said unto him ,
If thou canst believe ,
all things are possible to him that believeth .
*
And straightway the father of the child cried out ,
and said with tears ,
Lord ,
I believe ;
help thou mine unbelief .
*
When Jesus saw that the people came running together ,
he rebuked the foul spirit ,
saying unto him ,
Thou dumb and deaf spirit ,
I charge thee ,
come out of him ,
and enter no more into him .
*
And the spirit cried ,
and rent him sore ,
and came out of him :
and he was as one dead ;
insomuch that many said ,
He is dead .
*
But Jesus took him by the hand ,
and lifted him up ;
and he arose .
