Mark 9:25-27

International Children’s Bible

²⁵ Jesus saw that a crowd was running there to see what was happening. So he spoke to the evil spirit, saying, “You deaf and dumb spirit—I command you to come out of this boy and never enter him again!”

²⁶ The evil spirit screamed and caused the boy to fall on the ground again. Then the spirit came out. The boy looked as if he were dead. And many people said, “He is dead!” ²⁷ But Jesus took hold of the boy’s hand and helped him to stand up.
