The \{evil\} spirit screamed. The spirit caused the boy to fall on the ground again, and then the spirit came out. The boy looked like he was dead. Many people said, “He is dead!”
A Canaanite woman from that area came to Jesus. The woman shouted, “Lord, Son of David, {\cf2\super [211]} please help me! My daughter has a demon {\cf2\super [212]} inside her, and she is suffering very much.”
The spirit attacks my son and throws him on the ground. My son foams from his mouth, grinds his teeth, and becomes very stiff. I asked your followers to force the evil spirit out, but they could not.”
So the followers brought the boy to Jesus. When the \{evil\} spirit saw Jesus, the spirit attacked the boy. The boy fell down and rolled on the ground. He was foaming from his mouth.
Jesus saw that all the people were running there to see what was happening. So Jesus spoke to the evil spirit. Jesus said, “You evil spirit that makes this boy deaf and stops him from talking—I command you to come out of this boy and never enter him again!”
So be happy you heavens and all who live there! But it will be bad for the earth and sea, because the devil has gone down to you! The devil is filled with anger. He knows he doesn’t have much time.”
