Healing a Boy with an Evil Spirit

Mark 9:14-29 - A desperate father brought his son to Jesus, explaining that an evil spirit had possessed the boy, making him unable to speak and throwing him into violent seizures.

Jesus asked, "How long has he been like this?" The father replied, "Since childhood. If you can do anything, take pity on us and help us!"

Jesus said, "If you can? Everything is possible for one who believes." The father cried out, "I do believe; help my unbelief!"

Jesus commanded the spirit to leave, and it violently convulsed the boy before fleeing. The boy lay motionless, but Jesus took his hand and lifted him up—completely healed.
