9:20. And he asked his father: How long time is it since this hath happened unto him? But he sad: From his infancy. 9:21. And oftentimes hath he cast him into the fire and into the waters to destroy him. But if thou canst do any thing, help us, having compassion on us. 9:22. And Jesus saith to him: If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. 9:23. And immediately the father of the boy crying out, with tears said: I do believe, Lord. Help my unbelief. 9:24. And 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. 9:25. And crying out and greatly tearing him, he went our of him. And he became as dead, so that many said: He is dead. 9:26. But Jesus taking him by the hand, lifted him up. And he arose. 9:27. And when he was come into the house, his disciples secretly asked him: Why could not we cast him out? 9:28. And he said to them: This kind can go out by nothing, but by prayer and fasting. 9:29. And departing from thence, they passed through Galilee: and he would not that any man should know it. 9:30. And he taught his disciples 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. 9:31. But they understood not the word: and they were afraid to ask him. 9:32. And they came to Capharnaum. And when they were in the house, he asked them: What did you treat of in the way? 9:33. But they held their peace, for in the way they had disputed among themselves, which of them should be the greatest. 9:34. And 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 be minister of all. 9:35. And taking a child, he set him in the midst of them. Whom when he had embraced, he saith to them: 9:36. Whosoever 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. 9:37. John answered him, saying: Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, who followeth not us: and we forbade him. 9:38. But 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. 9:39. For he that is not against you is for you. 9:40. For 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. 9:41. And whosoever shall scandalize one of these little ones that believe in me: it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck and he were cast into the sea. 9:42. And if thy hand scandalize thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life, maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into unquenchable fire: 9:43. Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not extinguished.
