Verse 12 is referring to the Israelites, God's chosen people. It's saying they will be cast into darkness (i.e. hell). For their unbelief in Christ, which will bring excessive mourning.
This scenario is not seen very much this often unless you are in a foreign country. Whilst the scenes and some of the people may have changed; but the principles still apply. First of all, people need to remember that there are two types of faith here. There are those that believe in Jesus to only assist them enough to remove some of the burdens they are facing; whilst, there are those that fully believe and trust in him to be the Almighty Savior. This entire chapter deals with the Lord doing his Father's business; but, you can tell from the different responses of the people, exactly which are which. There are those with a lot of faith, some with no faith, and some with a lot of faith. It depends on how brainwashed the individuals are as to how they will respond.
i believe we various types and levels of faith here.
first a man asks if it is the lords will to heal,thank God it is.then yet a greater faith that says just speak the word only,then others were brought that were possessed by devils who knew not to believe,then we see the faith of Jesus,calming the sea and casting out demons.we too have the power to cast out demons and even over the winds and the sea bless God forever more.
i always say that as long as you can trust and believe in christ jesus,you will never be lost,take up the cross and follow him and he'll direct thy path, he is a healer and a deliver.
What speaks 2 me in this chptr is when Jesus comes down from the mtn & heals the leper he is really giving an illustration of His 4giveness when He tells the leper 2 BE THOU CLEAN. Like all sinners that come 2 Jesus...if asked He'll clean any1 from his/her sins & makes us white as snow. Praise Jesus!
I believe is laying on of hands but, v.9 & 10 proves that strong faith is what is needed.
We are concerned about so many things but, v. 20 states that JESUS did not even have a place to lay his head. v. 29 says that the evel sprits knew JESUS when they say Him. Matt.cp.4 shows us that the devil knows the BIBLE too but, knowing and obeying can be two different things.
