Mark 9:13-37
New American Standard Bible
14And when they came back to the other disciples, they saw a large crowd around them, and some scribes arguing with them.
15Immediately, when the entire crowd saw Him, they were amazed and began running up to greet Him.
16And He asked them, 'What are you disputing with them?'
17And one person from the crowd answered Him, 'Teacher, I brought You my son, because he has a spirit that makes him unable to speak;
18and whenever it seizes him, it slams him to the ground, and he foams at the mouth and grinds his teeth and becomes stiff. And I told Your disciples so that they would cast it out, but they could not do it.'
19And 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!'
20And they brought the boy to Him. When he saw Him, the spirit immediately threw him into convulsions, and falling to the ground, he began rolling around and foaming at the mouth.
21And He asked his father, 'How long has this been happening to him?' And he said, 'From childhood.
22It has often thrown him both into the fire and into the water to kill him. But if You can do anything, take pity on us and help us!'
23But Jesus said to him, '?‘If You can?’ All things are possible for the one who believes.'
24Immediately the boy’s father cried out and said, 'I do believe; help my unbelief!'
25When Jesus saw that a crowd was rapidly gathering, He rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, 'You mute and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him and do not enter him again!'
26And 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!'
27But Jesus took him by the hand and raised him, and he got up.
28When He came into the house, His disciples began asking Him privately, 'Why is it that we could not cast it out?'
29And He said to them, 'This kind cannot come out by anything except prayer.'
30And from there they went out and began to go through Galilee, and He did not want anyone to know about it.
31For He was teaching His disciples and telling them, 'The Son of Man is to be handed over to men, and they will kill Him; and when He has been killed, He will rise three days later.'
32But they did not understand this statement, and they were afraid to ask Him.
33They came to Capernaum; and when He was in the house, He began to question them: 'What were you discussing on the way?'
34But they kept silent, for on the way they had discussed with one another which of them was the greatest.
35And sitting down, He called the twelve and *said to them, 'If anyone wants to be first, he shall be last of all and servant of all.'
36And He took a child and placed him among them, and taking him in His arms, He said to them,
37Whoever receives one child like this in My name receives Me; and whoever receives Me does not receive Me, but Him who sent Me.'
King James Version
14And when he came to his disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and the scribes questioning with them.
15And straightway all the people, when they beheld him, were greatly amazed, and running to him saluted him.
16And he asked the scribes, What question ye with them
17And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought unto thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit;
18And 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.
19He answereth him, and saith, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you how long shall I suffer you bring him unto me.
20And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him, straightway the spirit tare him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming.
21And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him And he said, Of a child.
22And 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.
23Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.
24And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.
25When 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.
26And 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.
27But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose.
28And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast him out?
29And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.
30And they departed thence, and passed through Galilee; and he would not that any man should know it.
31For he taught his disciples, and said unto them, The Son of man is delivered into the hands of men, and they shall kill him; and after that he is killed, he shall rise the third day.
32But they understood not that saying, and were afraid to ask him.
33And he came to Capernaum: and being in the house he asked them, What was it that ye disputed among yourselves by the way
34But they held their peace: for by the way they had disputed among themselves, who should be the greatest.
35And he sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto them, If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all.
36And he took a child, and set him in the midst of them: and when he had taken him in his arms, he said unto them,
37Whosoever shall receive one of such children in my name, receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me.

14When they came to the disciples, they saw a large crowd around them and scribes disputing with them.
15When the whole crowd saw him, they were amazed and ran to greet him.
16He asked them, "What are you arguing with them about?"
17Someone from the crowd answered him, "Teacher, I brought my son to you. He has a spirit that makes him unable to speak.
18Whenever it seizes him, it throws him down, and he foams at the mouth, grinds his teeth, and becomes rigid. I asked your disciples to drive it out, but they couldn’t."
19He replied to them, "You unbelieving generation, how long will I be with you? How long must I put up with you? Bring him to me."
20So they brought the boy to him. When the spirit saw him, it immediately threw the boy into convulsions. He fell to the ground and rolled around, foaming at the mouth.
21"How long has this been happening to him?" Jesus asked his father. "From childhood," he said.
22"And many times it has thrown him into fire or water to destroy him. But if you can do anything, have compassion on us and help us."
26Then it came out, shrieking and throwing him into terrible convulsions. The boy became like a corpse, so that many said, "He’s dead."
27But Jesus, taking him by the hand, raised him, and he stood up.
30Then they left that place and made their way through Galilee, but he did not want anyone to know it.
31For he was teaching his disciples and telling them, "The Son of Man is going to be betrayed into the hands of men. They will kill him, and after he is killed, he will rise three days later."
32But they did not understand this statement, and they were afraid to ask him.
33They came to Capernaum. When he was in the house, he asked them, "What were you arguing about on the way?"
34But they were silent, because on the way they had been arguing with one another about who was the greatest.
35Sitting down, he called the Twelve and said to them, "If anyone wants to be first, he must be last and servant of all."
36He took a child, had him stand among them, and taking him in his arms, he said to them,
37"Whoever welcomes one little child such as this in my name welcomes me. And whoever welcomes me does not welcome me, but him who sent me."
New Living Translation
14When they returned to the other disciples, they saw a large crowd surrounding them, and some teachers of religious law were arguing with them.
15When the crowd saw Jesus, they were overwhelmed with awe, and they ran to greet him.
17One of the men in the crowd spoke up and said, 'Teacher, I brought my son so you could heal him. He is possessed by an evil spirit that won’t let him talk.
18And whenever this spirit seizes him, it throws him violently to the ground. Then he foams at the mouth and grinds his teeth and becomes rigid. So I asked your disciples to cast out the evil spirit, but they couldn’t do it.'
21How long has this been happening?' Jesus asked the boy’s father. He replied, 'Since he was a little boy.
22The spirit often throws him into the fire or into water, trying to kill him. Have mercy on us and help us, if you can.'
26Then the spirit screamed and threw the boy into another violent convulsion and left him. The boy appeared to be dead. A murmur ran through the crowd as people said, 'He’s dead.'
27But Jesus took him by the hand and helped him to his feet, and he stood up.
30Leaving that region, they traveled through Galilee. Jesus didn’t want anyone to know he was there,
31for he wanted to spend more time with his disciples and teach them. He said to them, 'The Son of Man is going to be betrayed into the hands of his enemies. He will be killed, but three days later he will rise from the dead.'
32They didn’t understand what he was saying, however, and they were afraid to ask him what he meant.
33After they arrived at Capernaum and settled in a house, Jesus asked his disciples, 'What were you discussing out on the road?'
34But they didn’t answer, because they had been arguing about which of them was the greatest.
35He sat down, called the twelve disciples over to him, and said, 'Whoever wants to be first must take last place and be the servant of everyone else.'

16And he asked them, "What are you arguing about with them?"
17And someone from the crowd answered him, "Teacher, I brought my son to you, for he has a spirit that makes him mute.
18And 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 they were not able."
19And he answered them, "O faithless generation, how long am I to be with you? How long am I to bear with you? Bring him to me."
20And they brought the boy to him. And when the spirit saw him, immediately it convulsed the boy, and he fell on the ground and rolled about, foaming at the mouth.
21And Jesus asked his father, "How long has this been happening to him?" And he said, "From childhood.

28And when he had entered the house, his disciples asked him privately, "Why could we not cast it out?"

New International Version
14When they came to the other disciples, they saw a large crowd around them and the teachers of the law arguing with them.
15As soon as all the people saw Jesus, they were overwhelmed with wonder and ran to greet him.
17A man in the crowd answered, "Teacher, I brought you my son, who is possessed by a spirit that has robbed him of speech.
18Whenever 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."
21Jesus 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."
26The spirit shrieked, convulsed him violently and came out. The boy looked so much like a corpse that many said, "He’s dead."
27But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him to his feet, and he stood up.
30They left that place and passed through Galilee. Jesus did not want anyone to know where they were,
31because he was teaching his disciples. He said to them, "The Son of Man is going to be delivered into the hands of men. They will kill him, and after three days he will rise."
32But they did not understand what he meant and were afraid to ask him about it.

16And He asked the scribes, “What are you discussing with them?”
17Then one of the crowd answered and said, “Teacher, I brought You my son, who has a mute spirit.
18And wherever it seizes him, it throws him down; he foams at the mouth, gnashes his teeth, and becomes rigid. So I spoke to Your disciples, that they should cast it out, but they could not.”
19He answered him and said, “O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him to Me.”
20Then they brought him to Him. And when he saw Him, immediately the spirit convulsed him, and he fell on the ground and wallowed, foaming at the mouth.

25When Jesus saw that the people came running together, He rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it: “Deaf and dumb spirit, I command you, come out of him and enter him no more!”
26Then the spirit cried out, convulsed him greatly, and came out of him. And he became as one dead, so that many said, “He is dead.”
27But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up, and he arose.
30Then they departed from there and passed through Galilee, and He did not want anyone to know it.
