Matthew 17:21 Context
19Then came the Disciples to Iesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out? 20And Iesus said vnto them, Because of your vnbeliefe: for verily I say vnto you, If yee haue faith as a graine of mustard seed, yee shall say vnto this mountaine; Remoue hence to yonder place: and it shall remoue, and nothing shall be vnpossible vnto you. 21Howbeit, this kind goeth not out, but by prayer and fasting. 22¶ And while they abode in Galilee, Iesus said vnto them, The sonne of man shall be betraied into the hands of men: 23And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised againe: And they were exceeding sorie.

Wesley's Notes for Matthew 17:21
17:21 This kind of devils - goeth not out but by prayer and fasting - What a testimony is here of the efficacy of fasting, when added to fervent prayer! Some kinds of devils the apostles had cast out before this, without fasting.
People's Bible Notes for Matthew 17:21
Mt 17:21 This kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting. Compare Mr 9:29. Only by devout waiting before the Lord for strength. Such strength is always needful to the victories of faith. Often, too, we have demons, envy, pride, covetousness, a revengeful spirit, that must be cast out by prayer.
