9:14¶ And when he came to his disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and the scribes questioning with them.

9:15And straightway all the people, when they beheld him, were greatly amazed, and running to him saluted him.

9:16And he asked the scribes, What question ye with them?

9:17And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought unto thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit;

9:18And 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.

9:19He answereth him, and saith, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me.

9:20And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him, straightway the spirit tare him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming.

9:21And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him? And he said, Of a child.

9:22And 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.

9:23Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.

9:24And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.

9:25When 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.

9:26And 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.

9:27But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose.

9:28And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast him out?
