Mark 09:17-29

    <p class=default>
      
        17.  And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought unto thee my son, 
        which hath 
      
      
        <b>a dumb spirit;</b>
      
    <br/>

      
         18.  And wheresoever he taketh him, 
      
      
        <b>he teareth him: and he foameth, and gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away</b>
      
      
        : and I spake to thy disciples that they should cast him out; and they could not.
      
    <br/>

      
         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.
      
    <br/>

      
         20.  And they brought him unto him:
      
      
        <b> and when he saw him, straightway the spirit tare him; and he fell on the ground, and 
        wallowed foaming.</b>
      
    <br/>

      
         21.  And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him? And he said, 
        Of a child.
      
    <br/>

      
         22.  And 
      
      
        <b>ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him</b>
      
      
        : but if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us.
      
    <br/>

      
         23.  Jesus said unto him, 
      
      
        <b>If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.</b>
      
    <br/>

      
         24.  And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I 
        believe; help thou mine unbelief.
      
    <br/>

      
         25.  When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the foul spirit, 
        saying unto him, 
      
      
        <b>Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him.</b>
      
    <br/>

      
         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.
      
    <br/>

      
         27.  But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose.
      
    <br/>

      
         28.  And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, 
      
      
        <b>Why could not we cast him out?</b>
      
    <br/>

      
        <b> 29.  And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and 
        fasting.</b>
