Jesus Heals a Boy with an Evil Spirit (Mark 9. 14-29) In Mark’s Gospel there are many stories of the teaching and preaching of Jesus to people of all denominations. Mark portrays Jesus as a man of the people‚ for the people. Many of the parables Jesus used to teach his followers and disbelievers alike are mentioned here in Marks gospels (i.e. The Parable of the Growing Seed). I found it interesting to see how many stories were told of Jesus driving out ‘evil spirits’. At one point Jesus almost
