Mark 9:13-36

¹³But I say to you, That also Elijah hath come, and they did to him what they willed, as it hath been written of him.'

¹⁴And having come unto the disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and scribes questioning with them,

¹⁵and immediately, all the multitude having seen him, were amazed, and running near, were saluting him.

¹⁶And he questioned the scribes, 'What dispute ye with them?'

¹⁷and one out of the multitude answering said, 'Teacher, I brought my son unto thee, having a dumb spirit;

¹⁸and wherever it doth seize him, it doth tear him, and he foameth, and gnasheth his teeth, and pineth away; and I spake to thy disciples that they may cast it out, and they were not able.'

¹⁹And he answering him, said, 'O generation unbelieving, till when shall I be with you? till when shall I suffer you? bring him unto me;'

²⁰and they brought him unto him, and he having seen him, immediately the spirit tare him, and he, having fallen upon the earth, was wallowing — foaming.

²¹And he questioned his father, 'How long time is it since this came to him?' and he said, 'From childhood,

²²and many times also it cast him into fire, and into water, that it might destroy him; but if thou art able to do anything, help us, having compassion on us.'

²⁷but Jesus, having taken him by the hand, lifted him up, and he arose.

²⁸And he having come into the house, his disciples were questioning him by himself — 'Why were we not able to cast it forth?'

²⁹And he said to them, 'This kind is able to come forth with nothing except with prayer and fasting.'

³⁰And having gone forth thence, they were passing through Galilee, and he did not wish that any may know,

³¹for he was teaching his disciples, and he said to them, 'The Son of Man is being delivered to the hands of men, and they shall kill him, and having been killed the third day he shall rise,'

³²but they were not understanding the saying, and they were afraid to question him.

³³And he came to Capernaum, and being in the house, he was questioning them, 'What were ye reasoning in the way among yourselves?'

³⁴and they were silent, for with one another they did reason in the way who is greater;

³⁵and having sat down he called the twelve, and he saith to them, 'If any doth will to be first, he shall be last of all, and minister of all.'

³⁶And having taken a child, he set him in the midst of them, and having taken him in his arms, said to them,
