Mark 9:16-18

New Century Version

¹⁶ Jesus asked, “What are you arguing about?”

¹⁷ A man answered, “Teacher, I brought my son to you. He has an evil spirit in him that stops him from talking. ¹⁸ When the spirit attacks him, it throws him on the ground. Then my son foams at the mouth, grinds his teeth, and becomes very stiff. I asked your followers to force the evil spirit out, but they couldn’t.”
