Jesus Again Predicts His Death and Resurrection

30 Then they departed from there and passed through Galilee, and He did not want anyone to know it.
31 aFor He taught His disciples and said to them, “The Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of men, and they will bkill Him. And after He is killed, He will crise the third day.”

Mark 9:29

Prayer and fasting - See on Matthew 17:21 (note).

This demon may be considered as an emblem of deeply rooted vices, and inveterate habits, over which the conquest is not generally obtained, but through extraordinary humiliations.

This case is related by both Matthew and Luke, but it is greatly amplified in Mark' s account, and many new circumstances related. Another proof that Mark did not abridge Matthew.
