Mark 9:9-22 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

9. And they kept the word to themselves, arguing about what "after he will have risen from the dead" might mean.

10. And they questioned him, saying: "Then why do the Pharisees and the scribes say that Elijah must arrive first?"

11. And in response, he said to them: "Elijah, when he will arrive first, shall restore all things. And in the manner that it has been written about the Son of man, so must he suffer many things and be condemned.

12. But I say to you, that Elijah also has arrived, (and they have done to him whatever they wanted) just as it has been written about him."

13. And approaching his disciples, he saw a great crowd surrounding them, and the scribes were arguing with them.

14. And soon all the people, seeing Jesus, were astonished and struck with fear, and hurrying to him, they greeted him.

15. And he questioned them, "What are you arguing about among yourselves?"

16. And one from the crowd responded by saying: "Teacher, I have brought to you my son, who has a mute spirit.

17. And whenever it takes hold of him, it throws him down, and he foams and gnashes with his teeth, and he becomes unconscious. And I asked your disciples to cast him out, and they could not."

18. And answering them, he said: "O unbelieving generation, how long must I be with you? How long shall I endure you? Bring him to me."

19. And they brought him. And when he had seen him, immediately the spirit disturbed him. And having been thrown to the ground, he rolled around foaming.

20. And he questioned his father, "How long has this been happening to him?" But he said: "From infancy.

21. And often it casts him into fire or into water, in order to destroy him. But if you are able to do anything, help us and take pity on us."

22. But Jesus said to him, "If you are able to believe: all things are possible to one who believes."
