Mark 9:29-34 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

29. Jesus answered, “That kind of spirit can only be forced out by prayer.”

30. Then Jesus and his followers left that place and went through Galilee. Jesus did not want anyone to know where he was

31. because he wanted to teach his followers alone. He said to them, “The Son of Man will be given to men who will kill him. After three days, he will rise from death.”

32. But the followers did not understand what Jesus meant. And they were afraid to ask.

33. Jesus and his followers went to Capernaum and went into a house there. Then Jesus said to them, “What were you arguing about on the road?”

34. But the followers did not answer, because their argument on the road was about which one of them was the greatest.
