24. Immediately the father of the child cried out and said, “I believe! Help my unbelief!”
25. Now when Jesus saw that a crowd was running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, “Mute and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him, and enter into him no more!”
26. And it came out, screaming and convulsing him greatly, and he became as if he were dead, so that most of them said, “He has died!”
27. But Jesus took hold of his hand and raised him up, and he stood up.
28. And after he had entered into the house, his disciples asked him privately, “Why were we not able to expel it?”
29. And he said to them, “This kind can come out by nothing except by prayer.”
30. And from there they went out and passed through Galilee. And he did not want anyone to know,
31. for he was teaching his disciples and was telling them, “The Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of men, and they will kill him. And when he is killed, after three days he will rise.”
32. But they did not understand the statement, and they were afraid to ask him.
33. And they came to Capernaum. And after he was in the house, he asked them, “What were you discussing on the way?”
34. But they were silent, because they had argued with one another on the way about who was greatest.
