Mark 9:27

27 ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς κρατήσας τῆς χειρὸς αὐτοῦ ⸃ ἤγειρεν αὐτόν, καὶ ἀνέστη.

Mark 9:27 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 9:27

But Jesus took him by the hand
"Took hold of the hand of the child", as the Persic version renders it;

and lifted him up;
from the ground, on which he was cast by the spirit;

and he arose:
this is omitted in the Syriac and Arabic versions, though in one edition of the latter, according to De Dieu, it is rendered, "and he stood"; to which is added, "and went into his own house". The Persic version, instead of this clause, reads, "and the child was healed"; and all the expressions show, that he was perfectly well.

Mark 9:27 In-Context

25 ἰδὼν δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς ὅτι ἐπισυντρέχει ὄχλος ἐπετίμησεν τῷ πνεύματι τῷ ἀκαθάρτῳ λέγων αὐτῷ · Τὸ ἄλαλον καὶ κωφὸν πνεῦμα, ἐγὼ ἐπιτάσσω σοι, ἔξελθε ἐξ αὐτοῦ καὶ μηκέτι εἰσέλθῃς εἰς αὐτόν.

26 καὶ κράξας καὶ πολλὰ σπαράξας ⸃ ἐξῆλθεν · καὶ ἐγένετο ὡσεὶ νεκρὸς ὥστε τοὺς πολλοὺς λέγειν ὅτι ἀπέθανεν.

27 ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς κρατήσας τῆς χειρὸς αὐτοῦ ⸃ ἤγειρεν αὐτόν, καὶ ἀνέστη.

28 καὶ εἰσελθόντος αὐτοῦ ⸃ εἰς οἶκον οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ κατ’ ἰδίαν ἐπηρώτων αὐτόν ⸃· Ὅτι ἡμεῖς οὐκ ἠδυνήθημεν ἐκβαλεῖν αὐτό;

29 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς · Τοῦτο τὸ γένος ἐν οὐδενὶ δύναται ἐξελθεῖν εἰ μὴ ἐν προσευχῇ.
