Mark 9:29 -
29 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· τοῦτο τὸ γένος ἐν οὐδενὶ δύναται ἐξελθεῖν εἰ μὴ ἐν προσευχῇ.
29 KAI EIPEN AUTOIS TOUTO TO GENOS EN OUDENI DUNATAI EXELTHEIN EI ME EN PROSEUCHE
I am hoping that someone might give me some guidance as to the use of γένος (genos) in this passage. Is there any way of knowing grammatically whether or not it is referring to unbelief or to a demon, or is it ambiguous grammatically and thus a matter of interpretation?
Thanks for any and all help!
