But this kind This phrase refers to a specific type of demon or spiritual challenge that requires a deeper level of spiritual engagement. In the context of Matthew 17, Jesus is addressing the disciples' inability to cast out a demon from a boy. The term "this kind" suggests that there are varying levels of spiritual warfare, and some require more than the usual approach. This aligns with Ephesians 6:12, which speaks of wrestling against spiritual forces of evil. does not go out except by prayer and fasting. Persons / Places / Events 1.

Teaching Points The Power of Prayer and FastingPrayer and fasting are powerful spiritual disciplines that prepare believers to face spiritual challenges and exercise authority over demonic forces. Faith and Spiritual Authority Faith is essential in exercising spiritual authority. Jesus highlights that certain spiritual victories require a deeper level of faith, cultivated through prayer and fasting. Dependence on God This passage teaches believers to rely on God's power rather than their own strength. Prayer and fasting are ways to express dependence on God. Spiritual Preparation Just as Jesus prepared His disciples, believers today must be spiritually prepared to face challenges. Regular prayer and fasting can strengthen one's spiritual readiness. Community and Support The disciples' inability to cast out the demon reminds us of the importance of community and seeking support from fellow believers in spiritual battles.(21) This kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.--The words imply degrees in the intensity of the forms of evil ascribed to demons amounting to a generic difference. Some might yield before the energy of a human will, and the power of the divine Name, and the prayers even of a weak faith. Some, like that which comes before us here, required a greater intensity of the spiritual life, to be gained by the "prayer and fasting" of which our Lord speaks. The circumstances of the case render it probable that our Lord himself had vouchsafed to fulfil both the conditions. The disciples, we know, did not as yet fast (Matthew 9:14-15), and the facts imply that they had been weak and remiss in prayer. The words are noticeable as testifying to the real ground and motive for "fasting," and to the gain for the higher life to be obtained, when it was accompanied by true prayer, by this act of conquest over the lower nature. So St. Peter's vision (Acts 10:9-10), and the appointment of Paul and Barnabas by the direct guidance of the Spirit (Acts 13:2), are both connected with fasting. And St. Paul, besides the "hunger and thirst" that came upon him as the incidents of his mission-work, speaks of himself as "in fastings often" (2Corinthians 11:27).Verse 21. - This verse is omitted in many good manuscripts and by the Revised Version, it being considered to have been introduced from the parallel passage of St. Mark. It gives the second reason for the failure of the nine. This kind... fasting. Though all things are possible to faith, some works are more difficult of accomplishment than others. This kind can mean only this kind of evil spirit, or demons generally. But the latter interpretation is excluded by the fact that the apostles had already exercised successfully their power over devils without special prayer or fasting. The words point to a truth in the spiritual world, that there are different degrees in the Satanic hierarchy (comp. Matthew 12:45); some demons are more malignant than others, and have greater power over the souls of men. In the present case the possession was of long standing; it revolved a terrible bodily malady; it was of an intense and unusual character. The mere word of exorcism, or the name of Jesus, spoken with little spiritual faith, could net overcome the mighty enemy. The exorcist needed special preparation; he must inspire and augment his faith by prayer and self-discipline. Prayer invokes the aid of God, and puts one's self unreservedly in his hands; fasting subdues the flesh, arouses the soul's energies, brings into exercise the higher parts of man's nature. Thus equipped, a man is open to receive power from on high, and can quell the assaults of the evil one. Parallel Commentaries ...
