- And when he came to his disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and the scribes questioning with them.
- And straightway all the people, when they beheld him, were greatly amazed, and running to him saluted him.
- And he asked the scribes, What question ye with them?
- And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought unto thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit;
- And wheresoever he taketh him, he teareth him: and he foameth, and gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to thy disciples that they should cast him out; and they could not.
|
- When they came back to the disciples, they saw a large crowd around them, and some scribes arguing with them.
- Immediately, when the entire crowd saw Him, they were amazed and began running up to greet Him.
- And He asked them, "What are you discussing with them?"
- And one of the crowd answered Him, "Teacher, I brought You my son, possessed with a spirit which makes him mute;
- and whenever it seizes him, it slams him to the ground and he foams at the mouth, and grinds his teeth and stiffens out. I told Your disciples to cast it out, and they could not do it."
|
- 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.
- And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him, straightway the spirit tare him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming.
- And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him? And he said, Of a child.
- And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us.
- Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.
|
- And He answered them and said, "O unbelieving generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring him to Me!"
- They brought the boy to Him. When he saw Him, immediately the spirit threw him into a convulsion, and falling to the ground, he began rolling around and foaming at the mouth.
- And He asked his father, "How long has this been happening to him?" And he said, "From childhood.
- "It has often thrown him both into the fire and into the water to destroy him. But if You can do anything, take pity on us and help us!"
- And Jesus said to him, " 'If You can?' All things are possible to him who believes."
|
- And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.
- When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him.
- 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.
- But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose.
- And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast him out?
|
- Immediately the boy's father cried out and said, "I do believe; help my unbelief."
- When Jesus saw that a crowd was rapidly gathering, He rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, "You deaf and mute spirit, I command you, come out of him and do not enter him again."
- After crying out and throwing him into terrible convulsions, it came out; and the boy became so much like a corpse that most of them said, "He is dead!"
- But Jesus took him by the hand and raised him; and he got up.
- When He came into the house, His disciples began questioning Him privately, "Why could we not drive it out?"
|
- And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.
|
- And He said to them, "This kind cannot come out by anything but prayer."
