Mark 9:26

And having cried out, and torn him much, he came out: and the boy became as one dead; insomuch that the more part said, He is dead. But Jesus took him by the hand, and raised him up; and he arose.

Regarding the terminal activity of the evil spirit, see under Mark 9:20. Mark mentioned Jesus' taking the lad by the hand, and Luke added the detail that Jesus restored the boy to his father. It is foolish to make anything of the variable nature of these accounts except that they are the certain evidence of independent narratives. This writer rejects the allegation that Mark's account is in any sense more original than the others. All three are original accounts, and the most complicated system of comparisons ever devised fails to prove anything else.
