Mark 9:20-27

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²⁰ So they brought [the boy] to Him, and when the spirit saw Him, at once it completely convulsed the boy, and he fell to the ground and kept rolling about, foaming [at the mouth].

²¹ And [Jesus] asked his father, How long has he had this? And he answered, From the time he was a little boy.

²² And it has often thrown him both into fire and into water, intending to kill him. But if You can do anything, do have pity on us and help us.

²³ And Jesus said, [You say to Me], If You can do anything? [Why,] all things can be (are possible) to him who believes!

²⁴ At once the father of the boy gave [an ^[a]eager, ^[b]piercing, inarticulate] cry with tears, and he said, Lord, I believe! [Constantly] help my ^[c]weakness of faith!

²⁵ But when Jesus noticed that a crowd [of people] came running together, He rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, You dumb and deaf spirit, I charge you to come out of him and never go into him again.

²⁶ And after giving a [hoarse, clamoring, fear-stricken] shriek of anguish and convulsing him terribly, it came out; and the boy lay [pale and motionless] like a corpse, so that many of them said, He is dead.

²⁷ But Jesus took [^[d]a strong grip of] his hand and began lifting him up, and he stood.
