Mark 9:25-29

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²⁵ But when Jesus noticed that a crowd [of people] came running together, He rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, You dumb and deaf spirit, I charge you to come out of him and never go into him again.

²⁶ And after giving a [hoarse, clamoring, fear-stricken] shriek of anguish and convulsing him terribly, it came out; and the boy lay [pale and motionless] like a corpse, so that many of them said, He is dead.

²⁷ But Jesus took [^[a]a strong grip of] his hand and began lifting him up, and he stood.

²⁸ And when He had gone indoors, His disciples asked Him privately, Why could not we drive it out?

²⁹ And He replied to them, This kind cannot be driven out by anything but prayer ^[b]and fasting.
