Commentary on Mark 9:28

Theological / Devotional

The house. The definite article, “the,” implies that this was a particular house that Christ considered His home, possibly Peter’s home in Capernaum (see on chs. 1:29; 2:1), a temporary home for Jesus during the remainder of His stay in Galilee (cf. DA 432).

Why could not we? The Twelve had cast out demons during the course of their Third Galilean Tour (see ch. 6:13). They were at a loss to account for the fact that the power that Jesus had imparted should have departed from them.
