Compare all
23 Jesus said to him, a“If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.”  
24 Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, “Lord, I believe; ahelp my unbelief!”  
25 When Jesus saw that the people came running together, He arebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it: “Deaf and dumb spirit, I command you, come out of him and enter him no more!”  
26 Then the spirit cried out, convulsed him greatly, and came out of him. And he became as one dead, so that many said, “He is dead.”
27 But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up, and he arose.
28 aAnd when He had come into the house, His disciples asked Him privately, “Why could we not cast it out?”  
29 So He said to them, “This kind can come out by nothing but aprayer and fasting.”

Mark 9:25

A multitude came running together (episuntrexei oxlov). A double compound here alone in the N.T. and not in the old Greek writers. Epitrexw occurs in the papyri, but not episuntrexw. The double compound vividly describes the rapid gathering of the crowd to Jesus and the epileptic boy to see the outcome.

Come out of him (ecelqe ec autou). Jesus addresses the demon as a separate being from the boy as he often does. This makes it difficult to believe that Jesus was merely indulging popular belief in a superstition. He evidently regards the demon as the cause in this case of the boy's misfortune.
