Mark 9:26

The Boy with an Evil Spirit

25When Jesus saw that a crowd had come running, He rebuked the unclean spirit. “You deaf and mute spirit,” He said, “I command you to come out and never enter him again.”26After shrieking and convulsing him violently, the spirit came out. The boy became like a corpse, so that many said, “He is dead.”27But Jesus took him by the hand and helped him to his feet, and he stood up.
