17 And someone from the crowd answered him, “Teacher, I brought my son to you, for he has (A)a spirit that makes him mute. 18 And whenever it seizes him, it throws him down, and he foams and grinds his teeth and becomes rigid. So I asked your disciples to cast it out, and (B)they were not able.” 19 And he answered them, “O (C)faithless generation, (D)how long am I to be with you? How long am I to bear with you? Bring him to me.” 20 And they brought the boy to him. And when the spirit saw him, immediately it (E)convulsed the boy, and he fell on the ground and rolled about, foaming at the mouth. 21 And Jesus asked his father, “How long has this been happening to him?” And he said, “From childhood. 22 And it has often cast him into fire and into water, to destroy him. But (F)if you can do anything, have compassion on us and help us.” 23 And Jesus said to him, (G)“‘If you can’! (H)All things are possible for one who believes.” 24 Immediately the father of the child cried out[a] and said, “I believe; (I)help my unbelief!” 25 And when Jesus saw that (J)a crowd came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, (K)“You mute and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him and never enter him again.” 26 And after crying out and (L)convulsing him terribly, it came out, and the boy was like a corpse, so that most of them said, “He is dead.”

  1. Mark 9:24 Some manuscripts add with tears

17 A man in the crowd answered, “Teacher, I brought you my son, who is possessed by a spirit that has robbed him of speech. 18 Whenever it seizes him, it throws him to the ground. He foams at the mouth, gnashes his teeth and becomes rigid. I asked your disciples to drive out the spirit, but they could not.”

19 “You unbelieving generation,” Jesus replied, “how long shall I stay with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring the boy to me.”

20 So they brought him. When the spirit saw Jesus, it immediately threw the boy into a convulsion. He fell to the ground and rolled around, foaming at the mouth.(A)

21 Jesus asked the boy’s father, “How long has he been like this?”

“From childhood,” he answered. 22 “It has often thrown him into fire or water to kill him. But if you can do anything, take pity on us and help us.”

23 “‘If you can’?” said Jesus. “Everything is possible for one who believes.”(B)

24 Immediately the boy’s father exclaimed, “I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!”

25 When Jesus saw that a crowd was running to the scene,(C) he rebuked the impure spirit. “You deaf and mute spirit,” he said, “I command you, come out of him and never enter him again.”

26 The spirit shrieked, convulsed him violently and came out. The boy looked so much like a corpse that many said, “He’s dead.”
