009:017 One of the multitude answered, "Teacher, I brought to you my son, who has a mute spirit; 009:018 and wherever it seizes him, it throws him down, and he foams at the mouth, and grinds his teeth, and wastes away. I asked your disciples to cast it out, and they weren't able." 009:019 He answered him, "Unbelieving generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him to me." 009:020 They brought him to him, and when he saw him, immediately the spirit convulsed him, and he fell on the ground, wallowing and foaming at the mouth. 009:021 He asked his father, "How long has it been since this has come to him?" He said, "From childhood. 009:022 Often it has cast him both into the fire and into the water, to destroy him. But if you can do anything, have compassion on us, and help us." 009:023 Jesus said to him, "If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes." 009:024 Immediately the father of the child cried out with tears, "I believe.

He didn't want anyone to know it. 009:031 For he was teaching his disciples, and said to them, "The Son of Man is being handed over to the hands of men, and they will kill him; and when he is killed, on the third day he will rise again." 009:032 But they didn't understand the saying, and were afraid to ask him. 009:033 He came to Capernaum, and when he was in the house he asked them, "What were you arguing among yourselves on the way?" 009:034 But they were silent, for they had disputed one with another on the way about who was the greatest. 009:035 He sat down, and called the twelve; and he said to them, "If any man wants to be first, he shall be last of all, and servant of all." 009:036 He took a little child, and set him in the midst of them. Taking him in his arms, he said to them, 009:037 "Whoever receives one such little child in my name, receives me, and whoever receives me, doesn't receive me, but him who sent me." 009:038 John said to him, "Teacher, we saw someone who doesn't follow
