Thematic Bible: The father of the demoniac


Thematic Bible



A member of the crowd said to him, "Teacher, I brought you my son, who is possessed by a spirit that makes him mute. Whenever it seizes him, it throws him down, and he foams at the mouth, grinds his teeth, and becomes rigid. I asked your disciples to cast it out, but they were not able to do so."

The sick man answered him, "Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up. While I am trying to get into the water, someone else goes down there before me." Verse ConceptsFriendlessnessLonelinessWeakness, PhysicalHelplessnessPeople Going BeforeDippingThings ShakingNo Help
