Context of Mark 9:16
14And when he came to his disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and the scribes questioning with them. 15And immediately all the people, when they beheld him, were greatly amazed, and running to him greeted him. And he asked the scribes, What question ye with them? 17And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought to thee my son, who hath a dumb spirit; 18And wherever he taketh him, he teareth him: and he foameth, and gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away: and I spoke to thy disciples that they should cast him out; and they could not.

- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 14-29This is the fourth and final time Jesus drives out demons in Mark's Gospel (1:21–28; 5:1–20; 7:24–30). The disciples could not drive out the demon, so Jesus performed the exorcism. This emphasizes the need for faith (see 2:5; 5:34; 10:52).
