Mark 9:28-30

²⁸After Jesus entered the house his men asked him, “Why couldn't we expel that spirit?” In vain we tried to send it away.”

²⁹Jesus replied, “Only after praying to God will you expel a demon like that.”

³⁰Jesus and his men left that place, they were going around the country of Galilee. He wanted the people of the area not to recognise him. He was wanting to teach his men about himself, others would kill him. He was telling them, “You know about me, God sent me to people. Some people have been saying God did not send me. They want to kill me. Truly they will grab me, they will take me to other people. Those others will truly kill me. After that, after two nights, truly I will become alive again.” In that way Jesus talked to his men.
