This kind [the family of demons] cannot be driven out by any means other than prayer and fasting. [Verse 21 is not found in the oldest manuscripts and is probably an addition from Mark 9:29 as an explanation of how the disciples had lost their faith. A lack of prayer and fasting reduces communion with God, which leads to a shift in focus from faith in God's power to one's own limited ability. The disciples had already been given authority to cast out demons in Matt. 10:8.].
