Mark 9:14-29 is the passage immediately after the Transfiguration. Thus there is a pattern in the Scriptures of baptism of the beloved Son, casting out demons; transfiguration of the beloved Son, casting out demons. I am grateful that we do not get many requests for exorcisms at Niagara Presbyterian Church. But these were commonplace in the gospel of Mark. After all, this pattern shows that some greater event was necessary to break the power of Satan in the world. This passage even gives us a hint about what that event would be. But it also shows us that the disciples and the father of the boy who had the demon are not much unlike ourselves.
