Luke 9:37–45
37On the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a great multitude met him.↗
38Behold, a man from the crowd called out, saying, “Teacher, I beg you to look at my son, for he is my only born child.↗
39Behold, a spirit takes him, he suddenly cries out, and it convulses him so that he foams; and it hardly departs from him, bruising him severely.↗
40I begged your disciples to cast it out, and they couldn’t.”↗
41Jesus answered,“Faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here.”↗
42While he was still coming, the demon threw him down and convulsed him violently. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.↗
43They were all astonished at the majesty of God. But while all were marveling at all the things which Jesus did, he said to his disciples,↗
44“Let these words sink into your ears, for the Son of Man will be delivered up into the hands of men.”↗
45But they didn’t understand this saying. It was concealed from them, that they should not perceive it, and they were afraid to ask him about this saying.↗
