Mar 9:14 | TNotes | STEP | Summary for Mark 9:14-29: 9:14-29 This is the fourth and last exorcism in Mark (1:21-28 ; 5:1-20 ; 7:24-30 ). The disciples were unable to perform the exorcism, so Jesus performed it, emphasizing the necessity of faith (cp. 2:5 ; 5:34 ; 10:52 ). This is another example of Jesus’ great healing ability and of the disciples’ failure (8:32-33 ; 9:5-7 ). 9:14 Jesus and the three disciples (Peter, James, and John) rejoined the other disciples, the crowd, and the teachers of the law. This account is similar to the story of Moses descending from Mount Sinai to rejoin the people of Israel (Exod 34:29-35 ).
