Mark 9:22-25

Contemporary English Version

²² The demon has often tried to kill him by throwing him into a fire or into water. Please have pity and help us if you can!”

²³ Jesus replied, “Why do you say ‘if you can’? Anything is possible for someone who has faith!”

²⁴ At once the boy's father shouted, “I do have faith! Please help me to have even more.”

²⁵ When Jesus saw that a crowd was gathering fast, he spoke sternly to the evil spirit that had kept the boy from speaking or hearing. He said, “I order you to come out of the boy! Don't ever bother him again.”
