Markus 9:14-29
Hoffnung für Alle
Die Ohnmacht der Jünger und die Vollmacht von Jesus (Matthäus 17,14‒21; Lukas 9,37‒43)
14 Bei ihrer Rückkehr fanden sie die anderen Jünger zusammen mit einigen Schriftgelehrten mitten in einer großen Volksmenge. Die Schriftgelehrten hatten die Jünger in ein Streitgespräch verwickelt. 15 Sobald die Leute Jesus sahen, liefen sie ihm aufgeregt entgegen und begrüßten ihn. 16 »Worüber streitet ihr euch mit meinen Jüngern?«, fragte er sie.
17 Einer aus der Menge antwortete: »Lehrer, ich habe meinen Sohn hergebracht, damit du ihn heilst. Er kann nicht sprechen, weil er von einem bösen Geist beherrscht wird.[a] 18 Wenn dieser Geist Gewalt über ihn gewinnt, wirft er ihn zu Boden. Dann tritt dem Jungen Schaum vor den Mund, er knirscht mit den Zähnen, und sein Körper wird ganz starr. Ich habe schon deine Jünger gebeten, den bösen Geist auszutreiben, aber sie waren machtlos.«
19 Da rief Jesus: »Was seid ihr nur für eine ungläubige Generation! Wie lange soll ich noch bei euch sein und euch ertragen? Bringt den Jungen her zu mir!« 20 Sie brachten ihn, und sobald der böse Geist Jesus erblickte, zerrte er den Jungen hin und her. Der stürzte zu Boden, wälzte sich umher, und der Schaum stand ihm vor dem Mund.
21 »Wie lange leidet er schon darunter?«, fragte Jesus den Vater. Der antwortete: »Von Kindheit an. 22 Schon oft hat ihn der böse Geist in ein Feuer oder ins Wasser geworfen, um ihn umzubringen. Hab doch Mitleid mit uns! Hilf uns, wenn du kannst!« 23 »Wenn ich kann?«, fragte Jesus zurück. »Alles ist möglich, wenn du mir vertraust.« 24 Verzweifelt rief der Mann: »Ich vertraue dir ja – hilf mir doch, meinen Unglauben zu überwinden!«
25 Als Jesus sah, dass immer mehr Leute zusammenliefen, bedrohte er den bösen Geist: »Du stummer und tauber Geist, ich befehle dir: Verlass diesen Jungen und kehre nie wieder zu ihm zurück!«
26 Da stieß der Dämon einen Schrei aus, zerrte den Jungen heftig hin und her und verließ ihn. Der Junge lag regungslos da, so dass die meisten sagten: »Er ist tot!« 27 Aber Jesus nahm seine Hand und half ihm aufzustehen.
28 Als Jesus ins Haus gegangen war und seine Jünger mit ihm allein waren, fragten sie ihn: »Weshalb konnten wir diesen Dämon nicht austreiben?« 29 Jesus antwortete: »Solche Dämonen können nur durch Gebet[b] ausgetrieben werden.«

New International Version
Jesus Heals a Boy Possessed by an Impure Spirit(A)
14 When they came to the other disciples, they saw a large crowd around them and the teachers of the law arguing with them. 15 As soon as all the people saw Jesus, they were overwhelmed with wonder and ran to greet him.
16 “What are you arguing with them about?” he asked.
17 A man in the crowd answered, “Teacher, I brought you my son, who is possessed by a spirit that has robbed him of speech. 18 Whenever it seizes him, it throws him to the ground. He foams at the mouth, gnashes his teeth and becomes rigid. I asked your disciples to drive out the spirit, but they could not.”
19 “You unbelieving generation,” Jesus replied, “how long shall I stay with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring the boy to me.”
20 So they brought him. When the spirit saw Jesus, it immediately threw the boy into a convulsion. He fell to the ground and rolled around, foaming at the mouth.(B)
21 Jesus asked the boy’s father, “How long has he been like this?”
“From childhood,” he answered. 22 “It has often thrown him into fire or water to kill him. But if you can do anything, take pity on us and help us.”
23 “‘If you can’?” said Jesus. “Everything is possible for one who believes.”(C)
24 Immediately the boy’s father exclaimed, “I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!”
25 When Jesus saw that a crowd was running to the scene,(D) he rebuked the impure spirit. “You deaf and mute spirit,” he said, “I command you, come out of him and never enter him again.”
26 The spirit shrieked, convulsed him violently and came out. The boy looked so much like a corpse that many said, “He’s dead.” 27 But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him to his feet, and he stood up.
28 After Jesus had gone indoors, his disciples asked him privately,(E) “Why couldn’t we drive it out?”
29 He replied, “This kind can come out only by prayer.[a]”

King James Version
14 And when he came to his disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and the scribes questioning with them.
15 And straightway all the people, when they beheld him, were greatly amazed, and running to him saluted him.
16 And he asked the scribes, What question ye with them?
17 And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought unto thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit;
18 And wheresoever he taketh him, he teareth him: and he foameth, and gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to thy disciples that they should cast him out; and they could not.
19 He answereth him, and saith, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me.
20 And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him, straightway the spirit tare him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming.
21 And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him? And he said, Of a child.
22 And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us.
23 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.
24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.
25 When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him.
26 And the spirit cried, and rent him sore, and came out of him: and he was as one dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead.
27 But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose.
28 And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast him out?
29 And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.
