恭讀聖馬爾谷福音 9:14-29
那時候，耶穌同伯多祿、雅各伯和若望下山，來到門徒那裏，看見一大群人圍著他們，經師和他們正在辯論。全民眾一看見了耶穌，就都驚奇，立刻向前跑去問候他。耶穌問門徒說：「你們和他們辯論什麼？」人群中有一個回答說：「師傅，我帶了我的兒子來見你，他附著一個啞巴魔鬼；無論在那裏，魔鬼抓住他，就把他摔倒。他就口吐白沫，咬牙切齒，並且僵硬了。我曾請你的門徒把魔鬼逐出，他們卻不能。」耶穌開口向他們說：「哎！無信的世代！我與你們在一起要到幾時呢？我容忍你們要到幾時呢？帶他到我這裏來！」他們就把孩子領到耶穌跟前。魔鬼一見耶穌，立時使那孩子拘攣了一陣，那孩子便倒在地上，打滾吐沫。耶穌問他的父親說：「這事發生在他身上有多少時候了？」他回答說：「從小的時候；魔鬼屢次把他投到火裏或水裏，要害死他。但是，你若能做什麼，你就憐憫我們，幫助我們吧！」耶穌對他說：「『你若能』，為信的人，一切都是可能的！」小孩子的父親立刻喊說：「我信！請你補助我的無信吧！」耶穌看見群眾都跑過來，就叱責邪魔說：「又聾又啞的魔鬼，我命你從他身上出去！再不要進入他內！」魔鬼就喊叫起來，猛烈地使那孩子拘攣了一陣，就出去了；那孩子好像死了一樣，以致有許多人說：「他死了！」但是耶穌握住他的手，拉他起來，他就起來了。耶穌進到家裏，他的門徒私下問他說：「為什麼我們不能趕他出去？」耶穌對他們說：「這一類，非用祈禱【和禁食】，是不能趕出去的。」

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Mark 9:14-29
As Jesus came down from the mountain with Peter, James, John and approached the other disciples, they saw a large crowd around them and scribes arguing with them. Immediately on seeing him, the whole crowd was utterly amazed. They ran up to him and greeted him. He asked them, “What are you arguing about with them?” Someone from the crowd answered him, “Teacher, I have brought to you my son possessed by a mute spirit. Wherever it seizes him, it throws him down; he foams at the mouth, grinds his teeth, and becomes rigid. I asked your disciples to drive it out, but they were unable to do so.” He said to them in reply, “O faithless generation, how long will I be with you? How long will I endure you? Bring him to me.” They brought the boy to him. And when he saw him, the spirit immediately threw the boy into convulsions. As he fell to the ground, he began to roll around and foam at the mouth. Then he questioned his father, “How long has this been happening to him?” He replied, “Since childhood. It has often thrown him into fire and into water to kill him. But if you can do anything, have compassion on us and help us.” Jesus said to him, “‘If you can!’ Everything is possible to one who has faith.” Then the boy’s father cried out, “I do believe, help my unbelief!” Jesus, on seeing a crowd rapidly gathering, rebuked the unclean spirit and said to it, “Mute and deaf spirit, I command you: come out of him and never enter him again!” Shouting and throwing the boy into convulsions, it came out. He became like a corpse, which caused many to say, “He is dead!” But Jesus took him by the hand, raised him, and he stood up. When he entered the house, his disciples asked him in private, “Why could we not drive the spirit out?” He said to them, “This kind can only come out through prayer.”
