Mark 9:17-27 KJV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Mark 9:14-29

We have here the story of Christ casting the devil out of a child, somewhat more fully related than it was in Matt. 17:14 Observe here, I. Christ's return to his disciples, and the perplexity he found them in. He laid aside his robes of glory, and came to look after his family, and to enquire what was become of them. Christ's glory above does not make him forget the concerns of his church below, which he visits in great humility, Mark 9:14. And he came very seasonably, when the disciples were... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Mark 9:14-18

9:14-18 When they came to the disciples, they saw a great crowd gathered around them, and the experts in the law engaged in discussion with them. And as soon as they saw him the whole crowd were amazed and ran to him and greeted him. He asked them, "What are you discussing among yourselves?" And one of the crowd answered him, "Teacher, I brought my son to you because he has a spirit which makes him dumb. And whenever the spirit seizes him, it convulses him, and he foams at the mouth and... read more

9:19-24 "O faithless generation!" Jesus answered. "How long am I to be with you? How long am I to bear you? Bring him to me!" They brought him to Jesus. When he saw Jesus, the spirit immediately sent the boy into a convulsion, and he fell upon the ground, and rolled about, foaming at the mouth. Jesus asked his father, "How long is it since this happened to him?" He said, "He has been like this since he was a child. Often it throws him into the fire and into waters for it is out to destroy... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Mark 9:25-29

9:25-29 When Jesus saw that the crowd was running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit. "Spirit of dumbness and deafness," he said, "I order you, come out of him, and don't go into him again." When it had cried and violently convulsed him it came out, and he became like a dead man, so that many said, "He is dead." But Jesus took him by the hand, and raised him up, and he stood up. When he had gone into the house, and when they were by themselves, his disciples asked him, "Why were we not... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 9:17

And one of the multitude answered and said ,.... The Scribes made no reply, being afraid to engage with him, whom they had often found too hard for them; and the disciples, if they were spoken to, were silent, through shame, because they had not succeeded in the cure of the person brought to them, which gave their enemies an handle against them: wherefore the parent of the afflicted child made answer, saying; the occasion of this debate between the Scribes, and thy disciples, is as follows: ... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 9:18

And wheresoever he taketh him ,.... The spirit, or devil, whether it be near fire, or water, whatsoever danger, or dangerous place: he teareth him ; or throws him into it, or dashes him against it; or inwardly racks, tortures, and convulses him: and he foameth ; at the mouth, like one that is mad: and gnasheth with his teeth ; through the excessive pain he is in: and pineth away ; his flesh is withered, dried up, and consumed away. This was the sad deplorable case this child... read more

He answereth him ,.... The father of the child, and who is included in the reproof afterwards given, for his unbelief, and taking part with the Scribes against his disciples; though the Vulgate Latin, Arabic, Persic, and Ethiopic versions, read, "them"; meaning not his disciples, but the Scribes and Pharisees, with the father of the child: and saith, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me ; See Gill on Matthew 17:17 . read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 9:20

And they brought him unto him ,.... The father of the child, and those that were with him, brought the child to Jesus, into his presence, before him: and when he saw him , that is, either when Jesus saw the child, or the child saw Jesus; or the evil spirit in him, and by him which were all at once: straightway the spirit tare him ; threw him into a violent fit, shook him, and convulsed him in a dreadful manner; knowing his time was short, and being filled with indignation and rage,... read more

And he asked his father ,.... As he lay rolling about in this miserable condition, that the length and stubbornness of his disorder might be known, and so the cure the more remarkable, and appear the more expressive of his divine power and goodness: how long is it ago since this came unto him ? since this evil spirit entered into him, and these disorders have attended him? and he said of a child ; or "from his infancy"; so that it was not for any actual sin that he had committed,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 9:22

And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire ,.... When he has been near it; so that one part or other of his body has been scorched, or burnt, and his life in danger: and into the waters to destroy him : when he has been near any brook, or river, it has thrown him into it, in order to drown him, as into the fire to burn him. The Ethiopic version before fire and water reads, "into the deep"; meaning either the sea or some deep pit, or off a precipice. All this is said to aggravate the... read more
