Disciples Stumped by Unbelief
Unbelief hindered the ability of Jesus to heal some afflicted persons, not the lack of fasting or other ritualistic practices - Mark 9:14-29 . When Peter, James, and John saw the Transfiguration of Jesus on the mount, the rest of the disciples were ministering nearby. But whenever they ministered when Jesus was absent, they quickly found themselves in trouble. And this time, as soon as the crowd saw him returning from the mountain, they flocked to him for healing and deliverance.
