Mark 9:25-29

Christian Standard Bible

²⁵ When Jesus saw that a crowd was quickly gathering, he rebuked^(A) the unclean^(B) spirit, saying to it, “You mute and deaf^(C) spirit, I command you: Come out of him and never enter him again.”

²⁶ Then it came out, shrieking and throwing him into terrible convulsions.^(D) The boy became like a corpse, so that many said, “He’s dead.” ²⁷ But Jesus, taking him by the hand, raised him,^(E) and he stood up.

²⁸ After he had gone into the house, his disciples asked him privately, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?”

²⁹ And he told them, “This kind can come out by nothing but prayer.”^[a](F)
