Mark 9:25-27

New International Reader's Version

²⁵ Jesus saw that a crowd was running over to see what was happening. Then he ordered the evil spirit to leave the boy. “You spirit that makes him unable to hear and speak!” he said. “I command you, come out of him. Never enter him again.”

²⁶ The spirit screamed. It shook the boy wildly. Then it came out of him. The boy looked so lifeless that many people said, “He’s dead.” ²⁷ But Jesus took him by the hand. He lifted the boy to his feet, and the boy stood up.
