# Lu 9:37-42
Mark's account is the fullest. According to the ASV, Matthew (v.
15) says that the youth was an epileptic, and the symptoms given
by Mark are those of epilepsy. Mark also states that he had been
afflicted from childhood.

# Mr 9:23
\\If thou canst believe.\\ The question is not whether Jesus
can, but whether the afflicted father can. Can he have the
needful faith in Christ? Faith is the great need.
(PNT 192)
01418
# Mr 9:24
\\Lord, I believe; help thou my unbelief.\\ The spark of
faith has been kindled; if his faith is not strong, he prays the
Lord to give him stronger faith. So should always pray the
doubting Christian. If your faith is weak, cry for help.
(PNT 193)

# Mr 9:26
\\[The spirit] cried and tore him violently.\\ The evil
spirit obeys most reluctantly and seeks to destroy one whom it
can no longer use. The paroxysm of departure was fearful, and
left the boy exhausted and as dead. The touch of Jesus completed
the cure.
(PNT 193)
01422
# Mr 9:28
\\Why could not we cast him out?\\ His answer first was,
according to Matthew, "Because of your belief."
# Mt 17:20
The whole difficulty centred in their want of faith. No demon
could defy them if only they had faith enough. And then Jesus
illustrates the power of faith by showing that even a small
amount of active, living faith, like a grain of mustard-seed,
could remove," perhaps pointing to Mount Hermon, at whose base
they were, and which towered in its grandeur above them.
(PNT 193)

# Mr 9:29
\\Can come forth by nothing, but by prayer.\\ "Fasting" is
omitted in the ASV, but placed in the margin. The faith which
will be effectual must be a faith exercised in prayer. The work
of the Church is still to cast out devils, the unclean spirits
of worldliness, selfishness, greed, infidelity, lust,
intemperance, Sabbath-breaking. These still defy the ordinary
efforts and faith of God's people. We have faith enough for
ordinary duties, for some giving, for prayer-meetings, for
building churches; but there is a work which ordinary faith
cannot do. How shall we get that higher faith? By prayer and
fasting. By such an earnestness that we forget the needs of the
body.

\\Servant of all.\\ The two conditions of true greatness are
humility and service; not to be the servant of friends, or
kindred, or of a class, or even of church members, but of
\\all\\, like Christ.

# Mr 9:38
\\John answered him, we saw one.\\ The disciples had shortly
before returned to Christ from their first missionary tour, in
which they were empowered to cast out devils.
# Mt 10:8
The man here referred to they probably met during this tour. He
must have been a disciple of Christ, who was enabled by his
faith, yet without a commission, to cure the possessed--Abbott.
\\Casting out demons in thy name.\\ Really, and not in a
wrong spirit, as did the Jewish exorcists;
# Ac 19:13,14
for it was done \\in thy name.\\ Such workers as this man
believed in him, or they would not have used his name.
\\He followeth not us.\\ Did not join himself to the apostles
as one of their followers.
(PNT 194)

# Mr 9:39
\\Forbid him not.\\ He neither praises nor blames him for
following an independent course, and not working with his
disciples. He simply declares that he must not be forbidden, and
that those who work the same kind of work that we do should be
regarded not as enemies, but allies. Thousands, in every period
of church history, have spent their lives in copying John's
mistake. They have laboured to stop every man who will not work
for Christ in their way from working for Christ at all.--Ryle.

# Mr 9:43
\\The fire that never shall be quenched.\\
See note on "Mt 5:29"
The fires that were occasionally lit in the literal Gehenna, or
Tophet, were necessarily only temporary. They died out for want
of fuel. It was to be otherwise with the "fire" of the other and
ulterior Tophet. The "fire" referred to is, of course, a mere
symbol of the sum total of certain dreadful realities, for which
there are no adequate representations in human language.
(PNT 194)
01442
# Mr 9:48
\\Worm dieth not . . . fire is not quenched.\\ An expression
borrowed from the last verse of Isaiah, and probably in current
use among the Jews of our Saviour's time, as applied to the state
of future retribution.
# Isa 66:24
(PNT 195)

# Mr 9:49
\\For.\\ Our Lord is alluding to the pervading idea of
# 9:45-48
These sacrifices of hand, foot, eye, must be made; for--
\\every one shall be salted with fire.\\ Fire is used in the
Scripture to denote suffering, persecution, trial, distress of
any kind. Salt is used to denote permanence, preservation from
corruption.
\\Every one,\\ good and bad, must suffer.
(PNT 195)
01444
# Mr 9:50
\\Have salt in yourselves.\\ The spirit of self-sacrifice,
and thus you will "have peace with one another."
