28After Jesus had gone into the house, His disciples asked Him privately, “Why couldn’ t we drive it out?”
29Jesus answered, “This kind cannot come out, except by prayer.”
30Going on from there, they passed through Galilee. But Jesus did not want anyone to know,
31because He was teaching His disciples. He told them, “The Son of Man will be delivered into the hands of men. They will kill Him, and after three days He will rise.”
32But they did not understand this statement, and they were afraid to ask Him about it.
33Then they came to Capernaum. While Jesus was in the house, He asked them, “What were you discussing on the way?”
34But they were silent, for on the way they had been arguing about which of them was the greatest.
35Sitting down, Jesus called the Twelve and said, “If anyone wants to be first, he must be the last of all and the servant of all.”
