Mark 9:25-27

New Testament for Everyone

²⁵ Jesus saw that the crowd was getting bigger by the minute. He scolded the unclean spirit: “Speechless and deaf spirit,” he said, “I command you—come out of him, and never go back again!”

²⁶ The spirit yelled, gave the boy a huge convulsion, and came out. The boy seemed to be dead; in fact, several people did say “He’s dead!” ²⁷ But Jesus took him by the hand and helped him to his feet, and he stood up.
