Faith That Still Works

9:14 And when he came to his disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and the scribes questioning with them.

9:15 And straightway all the people, when they beheld him, were greatly amazed, and running to him saluted him.

9:16 And he asked the scribes, What question ye with them?

9:17 And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought unto thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit;

9:18 and wheresoever he taketh him, he teareth him: and he foameth, and gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to thy disciples that they should cast him out; and they could not.

9:19 He answereth him, and saith, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me.

9:20 And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him, straightway the spirit tare him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming.

9:21 And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him? And he said, Of a child.

9:22 And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us.

9:23 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.

9:24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.
