Mark 9

In Mark 9 we still see that Jesus is not yet ready to reveal himself.  After the disciples witness the Transfiguration He charged them to tell no one what they had witnessed.  And once again we see the we stumblings of the disciples.  They tried to heal a boy with an unclean spirit and were not ale to, to which Jesus exclaimed, "O faithless generation, how long am I to be with you?  How long am I to bear with you?"    We also see the disciples arguing about who was the greatest among themselves.  And Jesus says whoever shall be put first will be last and whoever is last shall be put first.  Jesus also for the second time foretells His death and resurrection.
