Mk 9:28c ... "Why were we not able to cast it out?"

The third phrase contains these 6 dialog words ... "Hoti hēmeis ouk ēdunēthēmen ekbalein auto" ("Why we not were able to cast out it?").

The 6 dialog words are bottom up. The diagram shows the Unclean Spirit in the center of the graph exactly where they failed to cast it out in diagram 18d. Apparently they left immediately after failing. The disciples seem to have no knowledge of the child's apparent death and raising.
