Markus 9,21

Parents and children

19 Jesus svarte: «Å, du vantro slekt, hvor lenge skal jeg være hos dere? Hvor lenge skal jeg holde ut med dere? Bring gutten til meg.»

20 De førte gutten til Jesus. Da ånden så ham, kastet den straks gutten i krampe. Han falt til jorden, rullet rundt og frådet.

Jesus spurte guttens far: «Hvor lenge har han hatt det slik?» Han svarte: «Fra barndommen.

22 Den har ofte kastet ham i ild eller vann for å ødelegge ham. Men hvis du kan gjøre noe, ha medfølelse med oss og hjelp oss.»

23 Jesus sa til ham: «‘Hvis du kan’? Alt er mulig for den som tror.»
