Mark 9:14-29
Authorized (King James) Version
14 And when he came to his disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and the scribes questioning with them. 15 And straightway all the people, when they beheld him, were greatly amazed, and running to him saluted him. 16 And he asked the scribes, What question ye with them? 17 And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought unto thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit; 18 and wheresoever he taketh him, he teareth him: and he foameth, and gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to thy disciples that they should cast him out; and they could not. 19 He answereth him, and saith, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me. 20 And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him, straightway the spirit tare him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming. 21 And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him? And he said, Of a child. 22 And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us. 23 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. 24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief. 25 When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him. 26 And the spirit cried, and rent him sore, and came out of him: and he was as one dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead. 27 But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose. 28 And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast him out? 29 And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.

New King James Version
A Boy Is Healed(A)
14 (B)And when He came to the disciples, He saw a great multitude around them, and scribes disputing with them. 15 Immediately, when they saw Him, all the people were greatly amazed, and running to Him, greeted Him. 16 And He asked the scribes, “What are you discussing with them?”
17 Then (C)one of the crowd answered and said, “Teacher, I brought You my son, who has a mute spirit. 18 And wherever it seizes him, it throws him down; he foams at the mouth, gnashes his teeth, and becomes rigid. So I spoke to Your disciples, that they should cast it out, but they could not.”
19 He answered him and said, “O (D)faithless[a] generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I [b]bear with you? Bring him to Me.” 20 Then they brought him to Him. And (E)when he saw Him, immediately the spirit convulsed him, and he fell on the ground and wallowed, foaming at the mouth.
21 So He asked his father, “How long has this been happening to him?”
And he said, “From childhood. 22 And often he has thrown him both into the fire and into the water to destroy him. But if You can do anything, have compassion on us and help us.”
23 Jesus said to him, (F)“If[c] you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.”
24 Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, “Lord, I believe; (G)help my unbelief!”
25 When Jesus saw that the people came running together, He (H)rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, “Deaf and dumb spirit, I command you, come out of him and enter him no more!” 26 Then the spirit cried out, convulsed him greatly, and came out of him. And he became as one dead, so that many said, “He is dead.” 27 But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up, and he arose.
28 (I)And when He had come into the house, His disciples asked Him privately, “Why could we not cast it out?”
29 So He said to them, “This kind can come out by nothing but (J)prayer [d]and fasting.”

Revised Geneva Translation
14 And when He came to His disciples, He saw a great multitude around them, and the scribes disputing with them.
15 And immediately all the people, when they saw Him, were amazed and ran to Him and greeted Him.
16 Then He asked the scribes, “What are you disputing among yourselves?”
17 And one of the crowd answered, and said, “Master, I have brought my son to You, who has a mute spirit!
18 And wherever I have taken him, the spirit has seized him. And he foams and gnashes his teeth and pines away. And I asked Your disciples to cast him out and they could not.”
19 Then Jesus answered him, and said, “O faithless generation! How long now shall I be with you? How long now shall I put up with you?! Bring him to Me.”
20 So they brought him to Jesus. And as soon as the spirit saw Him, he seized the child. And he fell down on the ground wallowing and foaming.
21 Then He asked his father, “How long has he been this way?” And he said, “His whole childhood.
22 “And often he casts him into the fire, or into the water, to destroy him. But if You can do anything, help us and have compassion upon us.”
23 And Jesus said to him, “If you can believe it, all things are possible to the one who believes.”
24 And immediately the father of the child, crying with tears, said, “Lord, I believe! Help my unbelief!”
25 When Jesus saw that the people came running together, He rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to him, “You dumb and deaf spirit, I command you come out of him! And enter into him no more!”
26 Then the spirit cried, and seized the child again, and came out. And the child was as one dead; so much so that many said, “He is dead.”
27 But Jesus took his hand and lifted him up. And he arose.
28 And when He had come into the house, His disciples asked Him secretly, “Why couldn’t we cast him out?”
29 And He said to them, “This kind can come forth by no other means but prayer and fasting.”
