Gospel of Mark

He asked his father, "How long has it been since this has come to him?" He said, "From childhood.

Often it has cast him both into the fire and into the water, to destroy him. But if you can do anything, have compassion on us, and help us."

Jesus said to him, "If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes."

Immediately the father of the child cried out with tears, "I believe. Help my unbelief!"

When Jesus saw that a multitude came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to him, "You mute and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him, and never enter him again!"

Having cried out, and convulsed greatly, it came out of him. The boy became like one dead; so much that most of them said, "He is dead."

But Jesus took him by the hand, and raised him up; and he arose.

When he had come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, "Why couldn't we cast it out?"

He said to them, "This kind can come out by nothing, except by prayer and fasting."

They went out from there, and passed through Galilee. He didn't want anyone to know it.
