New International Reader's Version

Mark 9:19-24 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

19. "You unbelieving people!" Jesus replied. "How long do I have to stay with you? How long do I have to put up with you? Bring the boy to me."

20. So they brought him. As soon as the spirit saw Jesus, it threw the boy into a fit. He fell to the ground. He rolled around and foamed at the mouth.

21. Jesus asked the boy's father, "How long has he been like this?" "Since he was a child," he answered.

22. "The spirit has often thrown him into fire or water to kill him. But if you can do anything, take pity on us. Please help us."

23. " 'If you can'?" said Jesus. "Everything is possible for the one who believes."

24. Right away the boy's father cried out, "I do believe! Help me overcome my unbelief!"
