Mark 9:31

The cross and atonement The resurrection

²⁹ Jesus answered, “This kind cannot come out, except by prayer.”

³⁰ Going on from there, they passed through Galilee. But Jesus did not want anyone to know,

because 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.”

³² But they did not understand this statement, and they were afraid to ask Him about it.

³³ Then they came to Capernaum. While Jesus was in the house, He asked them, “What were you discussing on the way?”

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
