9:14 And when they came to the disciples, they saw a great multitude about them, and scribes questioning with them. 9:15 And straightway all the multitude, when they saw him, were greatly amazed, and running to him saluted him. 9:16 And he asked them, What question ye with them? 9:17 And one of the multitude answered him, Teacher, I brought unto thee my son, who hath a dumb spirit; 9:18 and wheresoever it taketh him, it dasheth him down: and he foameth, and grindeth his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to thy disciples that they should cast it out; and they were not able. 9:19 And he answereth them and saith, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I bear with you? bring him unto me. 9:20 And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him, straightway the spirit tare him grievously; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming. 9:21 And he asked his father, How long time is it since this hath come unto him? And he said, From a child. 9:22 And oft-times it hath cast him both into the fire and into the waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do anything, have compassion on us, and help us. 9:23 And Jesus said unto him, If thou canst! All things are possible to him that believeth. 9:24 Straightway the father of the child cried out, and said, I believe; help thou mine unbelief. 9:25 And when Jesus saw that a multitude came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I command thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him. 9:26 And having cried out, and torn him much, he came out: and `the boy' became as one dead; insomuch that the more part said, He is dead. 9:27 But Jesus took him by the hand, and raised him up; and he arose. 9:28 And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, `How is it' that we could not cast it out? 9:29 And he said unto them, This kind can come out by nothing, save by prayer.
