Mark 9:14-30  Following the Mount of Transfiguration, Jesus and the three disciples returned to the base of Mt. Hermon. There they observed a large crowd clustered around the nine disciples and scribes. These disciples had found themselves powerless to help a demon-possessed boy, and now they were being confronted by the scribes. Jesus arrived exactly at the right time- he had a powerful lesson to teach his disciples about dependence on the person and power of the Christ.
