Commentary on Mark 9:26

Theological / Devotional

Rent him sore. That is, “greatly convulsed him,” or “convulsed him intensely.” Jesus may have permitted this final manifestation of the demon’s power in order that the contrast between the pitiful condition of the boy and his condition when relieved of the demon might be the more apparent.

As one dead. The boy was utterly exhausted by the violence of the spasm that had seized him.
