Mark 9:25-27

Jesus acted quickly to avoid greater publicity.

". . . the accumulation of the vocabulary of death and resurrection in Mark 9:26-27, and the parallelism with the narrative of the raising of Jairus’ daughter [Mark 5:39-42], suggest that Mark wished to allude to a death and resurrection. The dethroning of Satan is always a reversal of death and an affirmation of life." [Note: Lane, p. 334.]
