The Disciple’s Faithlessness: The Powerful Demon (Mark 9:14-29)

Mark 9:14-29 – Jesus returns to find a crowd arguing with His disciples over their failure to cast out a demon from a boy suffering seizures. The boy’s father, struggling with doubt, pleads for help. Jesus rebukes the demon, casting it out after a final violent convulsion. The boy appears dead, but Jesus lifts him up. Later, He tells the disciples that such demons can only be driven out by prayer.
