Mark 9
1 Jesus is transfigured.
11 He instructs his disciples concerning the coming of Elias;
14 casts forth a deaf and dumb spirit;
30 foretells his death and resurrection;
33 exhorts his disciples to humility;
38 bidding them not to prohibit such as are not against them, nor to give offence to any of the faithful.

Elijah <2243> [Elias.]
Moses was the founder of the Jewish polity, and Elias the most zealous reformer and prophet of the Jewish church; and their presence implied that the ministry of Christ was attested by the law and the prophets.

As these symptoms accord very much with those of epileptic persons, some have ventured to assert that it was no real possession; but the evangelist expressly affirms that he had a "dumb spirit" which tare him, that our Lord charged him to "come out of him," etc.

If this had been only a natural disease, as some have contended, could our Lord with any propriety have thus addressed it? If the demoniacal possession had been false, or merely a vulgar error, would our Lord, the Revealer of truth, have thus established falsehood, sanctioned error, or encouraged deception, by teaching men to ascribe effects to the malice and power of evil spirits, which they had no agency in producing? Impossible! Such conduct is utterly unworthy the sacred character of the Redeemer.
