Mark 9:13-36

¹³But I say to you that Elijah has come, and they have done to him whatever they were pleased to do, even as the Writings say about him.

¹⁴And when they came to the disciples, they saw a great mass of people about them, and scribes questioning them.

¹⁵And straight away all the people, when they saw him, were full of wonder, and running to him, gave him worship.

¹⁶And he said, What are you questioning them about?

¹⁷And one of the number said to him in answer, Master, I came to you with my son, who has in him a spirit which takes away his power of talking;

¹⁸And wherever it takes him, it puts him down violently, streaming at the lips and twisted with pain; and his strength goes from him; and I made a request to your disciples to send it out, and they were not able.

¹⁹And he said to them in answer, O generation without faith, how long will I have to be with you? how long will I put up with you? let him come to me.

²⁰And they took him to him: and when he saw him, the spirit in him straight away became violent; and he went down on the earth, rolling about and streaming at the lips.

²¹And Jesus questioning the father said, How long has he been like this? And he said, From a child.

²⁷But Jesus took him by the hand, lifting him up; and he got up.

²⁸And when he had gone into the house, his disciples said to him privately, Why were we unable to send it out?

²⁹And he said to them, Nothing will make this sort come out but prayer.

³⁰And they went out from there, through Galilee; and it was his desire that no man might have knowledge of it;

³¹For he was giving his disciples teaching, and saying to them, The Son of man is given up into the hands of men, and they will put him to death; and when he is dead, after three days he will come back from the dead.

³²But the saying was not clear to them, and they were in fear of questioning him about it.

³³And they came to Capernaum: and when he was in the house, he put the question to them, What were you talking about on the way?

³⁴But they said nothing: because they had had an argument between themselves on the way, about who was the greatest.

³⁵And seating himself, he made the twelve come to him; and he said to them, If any man has the desire to be first, he will be last of all and servant of all.

³⁶And he took a little child, and put him in the middle of them; and taking him in his arms, he said to them,
