Mark 9:7-38

⁷And there was a cloude that shadowed them, and a voyce came out of the cloude, saying, This is my beloued Sonne: heare him.

⁸And suddenly they looked roud about, and sawe no more any man saue Iesus only with them.

⁹And as they came downe from the mountaine, he charged them, that they should tell no man what they had seene, saue when the Sonne of man were risen from the dead againe.

¹⁰So they kept that matter to themselues, and demaunded one of another, what the rising from the dead againe should meane?

¹¹Also they asked him, saying, Why say the Scribes, that Elias must first come?

¹²And he answered, and said vnto them, Elias verely shall first come, and restore all things: and as it is written of the Sonne of man, hee must suffer many things, and be set at nought.

¹³But I say vnto you, that Elias is come, (and they haue done vnto him whatsoeuer they would) as it is written of him.

¹⁴And when he came to his disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and the Scribes disputing with them.

¹⁵And straightway all the people, when they behelde him, were amased, and ranne to him, and saluted him.

¹⁶Then hee asked the Scribes, What dispute you among your selues?

¹⁷And one of the companie answered, and said, Master, I haue brought my sonne vnto thee, which hath a dumme spirit:

¹⁸And wheresoeuer he taketh him, he teareth him, and he fometh, and gnasheth his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to thy disciples, that they should cast him out, and they could not.

¹⁹Then he answered him, and said, O faithlesse generation, how long now shall I be with you! how long now shall I suffer you! Bring him vnto me.

²⁰So they brought him vnto him: and assoone as the spirit sawe him, hee tare him, and hee fell downe on the ground walowing and foming.

²¹Then he asked his father, How long time is it since he hath bin thus? And he said, Of a childe.

²²And oft times he casteth him into the fire, and into the water to destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, helpe vs, and haue compassion vpon vs.

²³And Iesus said vnto him, If thou canst beleeue it, al things are possible to him that beleeueth.

²⁴And straightway the father of the childe crying with teares, saide, Lord, I beleeue: helpe my vnbeliefe.

²⁵When Iesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the vncleane spirit, saying vnto him, Thou domme and deafe spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him.

²⁶Then the spirit cried, and rent him sore, and came out, and he was as one dead, in so much that many said, He is dead.

²⁷But Iesus tooke his hande, and lift him vp, and he arose.

²⁸And when hee was come into the house, his disciples asked him secretly, Why could not we cast him out?

²⁹And he saide vnto them, This kinde can by no other meanes come foorth, but by prayer and fasting.

³⁰And they departed thence, and went together through Galile, and hee would not that any should haue knowen it.

³¹For he taught his disciples, and saide vnto them, The Sonne of man shalbe deliuered into the handes of men, and they shall kill him, but after that he is killed, he shall rise againe the third day.

³²But they vnderstoode not that saying, and were afraide to aske him.

³³After, he came to Capernaum: and when he was in the house, he asked them, What was it that ye disputed among you by the way?

³⁴And they helde their peace: for by the way they reasoned among themselues, who should bee the chiefest.

³⁵And he sate downe, and called the twelue, and said to them, If any man desire to be first, the same shalbe last of all, and seruant vnto all.

³⁶And he tooke a litle childe, and set him in the middes of them, and tooke him in his armes, and sayd vnto them,

³⁷Whosoeuer shall receiue one of such litle children in my Name, receiueth me: and whosoeuer receiueth mee, receiueth not me, but him that sent me.

³⁸Then Iohn answered him, saying, Master, we sawe one casting out deuils by thy Name, which followeth not vs, and we forbade him, because he followeth vs not.
