e to the believing. (24)And straightway
the father of the child cried out, and said: I believe; help thou my
unbelief. (25)And Jesus, seeing that a multitude came running
together, rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to him: Dumb and deaf
spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter into him no more.
(26)And crying out, and rending him sorely, it came out of him. And he
became as one dead; so that many said: He is dead. (27)But Jesus
taking him by the hand, raised him, and he stood up.

(28)And when he had come into the house, his disciples asked him
privately: Why could not we cast it out? (29)And he said to them: This
kind can go out by nothing, except by prayer and fasting.

(30)And going forth from thence, they passed through Galilee and he
would not that any one should know it. (31)For he taught his
disciples, and said to them: The Son of man is delivered up into the
hands of men, and they will kill him and when he is killed, after
three days he will rise again. (32)But they understood not the saying,
and were afraid to ask him.

(33)And they came to Capernaum. And having come into the house he
inquired of them: Of what were ye reasoning among yourselves by the
way? (34)But they were silent; for by the way they had disputed with

twelve, and says to them: If any one desires to be first, he shall be
last of all, and servant of all. (36)And taking a child, he placed it
in the midst of them; and folding it in his arms, he said to them:
(37)Whoever shall receive one of such children in my name, receives me
and whoever shall receive me, receives not me, but him who sent me.

(38)And John answered him, saying: Teacher, we saw one casting out
demons in thy name, who follows not us; and we forbade him, because he
follows not us. (39)But Jesus said: Forbid him not; for there is no
one who shall do a miracle in my name, and can lightly speak evil of
me. (40)For he that is not against us is for us. (41)For whoever shall
give you a cup of water to drink in that name, that ye are Christ's,
verily I say to you, he shall not lose his reward. (42)And whoever
shall cause one of these little ones that believe on me to offend, it
is better for him that an upper millstone were hanged about his neck,
and he were cast into the sea. (43)And if thy hand cause thee to
offend, cut it off. It is better for thee to enter into life maimed,
than having the two hands to go
