Wesley's Notes

9:22 If thou canst do any thing - In so desperate a case: Have compassion on us - Me as well as him.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

22. but if thou canst do anything, have compassion on us, and help us-"us," says the father; for it was a sore family affliction. Compare the language of the Syrophonician woman regarding her daughter, "Lord, help me." Still nothing is done: the man is but struggling into faith: it must come a step farther. But he had to do with Him who breaks not the bruised reed, and who knew how to inspire what He demanded. The man had said to Him, "If Thou canst do."

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

9:14-29 The father of the suffering youth reflected on the want of power in the disciples; but Christ will have him reckon the disappointment to the want of faith. Very much is promised to our believing. If thou canst believe, it is possible that thy hard heart may be softened, thy spiritual diseases may be cured; and, weak as thou art, thou mayest be able to hold out to the end. Those that complain of unbelief, must look up to Christ for grace to help them against it, and his grace will be sufficient for them. Whom Christ cures, he cures effectually. But Satan is unwilling to be driven from those that have been long his slaves, and, when he cannot deceive or destroy the sinner, he will cause him all the terror that he can. The disciples must not think to do their work always with the same ease; some services call for more than ordinary pains.


Mark 9:21 And He asked his father, "How long has this been happening to him?" And he said, "From childhood.
Mark 9:23 And Jesus said to him, "'If You can?' All things are possible to him who believes." (NASB ©1995)
