Mark 9:20-41

²⁰And he asked his father: How long time is it since this hath happened unto him? But he said: From his infancy:

²¹And oftentimes hath he cast him into the fire and into waters to destroy him. But if thou canst do any thing, help us, having compassion on us.

²²And Jesus saith to him: If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.

²³And immediately the father of the boy crying out, with tears said: I do believe, Lord: help my unbelief.

²⁴And when Jesus saw the multitude running together, he threatened the unclean spirit, saying to him: Deaf and dumb spirit, I command thee, go out of him; and enter not any more into him.

²⁵And crying out, and greatly tearing him, he went out of him, and he became as dead, so that many said: He is dead.

²⁶But Jesus taking him by the hand, lifted him up; and he arose.

²⁷And when he was come into the house, his disciples secretly asked him: Why could not we cast him out?

²⁸And he said to them: This kind can go out by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.

²⁹And departing from thence, they passed through Galilee, and he would not that any man should know it.

³⁰And he taught his disciple, and said to them: The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men, and they shall kill him; and after that he is killed, he shall rise again the third day.

³¹But they understood not the word, and they were afraid to ask him.

³²And they came to Capharnaum. And when they were in the house, he asked them: What did you treat of in the way?

³³But they held their peace, for in the way they had disputed among themselves, which of them should be the greatest.

³⁴And sitting down, he called the twelve, and saith to them: If any man desire to be first, he shall be the last of all, and the minister of all.

³⁵And taking a child, he set him in the midst of them. Whom when he had embraced, he saith to them:

³⁶Whosoever shall receive one such child as this in my name, receiveth me. And whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me.

³⁷John answered him, saying: Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, who followeth not us, and we forbade him.

³⁸But Jesus said: Do not forbid him. For there is no man that doth a miracle in my name, and can soon speak ill of me.

³⁹For he that is not against you, is for you.

⁴⁰For whosoever shall give you to drink a cup of water in my name, because you belong to Christ: amen I say to you, he shall not lose his reward.

⁴¹And whosoever shall scandalize one of these little ones that believe in me; it were better for him that a millstone were hanged around his neck, and he were cast into the sea.
