Mark 9:25First Nations VersionCreator Sets Free (Jesus) saw that the crowd was now pushing in closer to see, so he spoke sharply to the unclean spirit. “Spirit that makes one unable to speak or hear,” he said firmly, “I order you now to leave this boy and never enter him again!” See the chapter |
He said this because Creator Sets Free (Jesus) had ordered the evil spirit to leave the man. In the past this evil spirit had often taken hold of the man, so the villagers had kept the man bound with chains and under close watch. But the man had broken the chains, and the evil spirit had forced him out into the desert.
