child immediately crying out, said, I believe; help my unbelief.
4 [9:25]And Jesus seeing that a multitude ran together, rebuked the
impure spirit, saying to him, Deaf and dumb spirit, I command you, come
out of him, and enter into him no more. [9:26]And crying out and
affecting him with many convulsions, he went out. And he was like a
dead person, so that many said, He is dead. [9:27]But Jesus took him
by the hand and raised him up, and he stood up. [9:28]And when he went
into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could we not
cast it out? [9:29]And he said to them, This kind can go out by nothing
but prayer.
5 [9:30]And departing thence, he passed through Galilee, and desired
that no one should know him, [9:31]for he taught his disciples, and
said to them, The Son of man is delivered into the hands of men, and
they shall kill him. And when he is killed, on the third day he shall
rise again. [9:32]And they understood not the word, and were afraid to
ask him.
6 [9:33]And he came to Capernaum; and when he was in the house, he
asked them, What did you dispute about on the way? [9:34]And they were

receives one such little child in my name, receives me, and whoever
receives me, receives not me, but him that sent me. [9:38]And John
spoke to him, saying, Teacher, we saw some one casting out demons in
your name, who follows not us, and we forbade him. [9:39]And Jesus
said, Forbid him not; for no one will perform a mighty work in my name,
and be able lightly to speak evil of me. [9:40]For whoever is not
against us is for us; [9:41]and whoever gives you a cup of water
because you are Christ's, truly he shall not lose his reward.
7 [9:42]And whoever shall offend one of the little ones having faith,
it would be better for him if a millstone was put about his neck and he
was cast into the sea. [9:43]And if your hand offends you, cut it off;
it is better for you to enter into life crippled, than having two hands
to go away into hell, into the inextinguishable fire. [9:45]And if your
foot offends you, cut it off: it is better for you to enter into life
lame, than having
