Charles Spurgeon Commentary Mark 9:19

"And he answereth them and saith, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I bear with you? bring him unto me." — Mark 9:19 (ASV)

He answers him, and says, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me.

Grand words: "Bring him unto me." Lord, he has a dumb spirit.

"Bring him unto me." It is the devil who is his enemy. "Bring him unto me."

He answereth him, and saith, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me. (Mark 9:19)

Unbelief is a great trouble to Christ. I never read that he said to the poor or to the sick, "How long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you?" I never read that he expressed any weariness of human ignorance, or scarcely even of human sin, but when it is a matter of unbelief, then it stings him, and he cries, "O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? Bring him unto me."
