³⁷And it came to pass on the following day, when they came down from the mountain, a great crowd met him. ³⁸And lo, a man from the crowd cried out saying, Teacher, I beseech thee look upon my son, for he is mine only child: ³⁹and behold, a spirit takes him, and suddenly he cries out, and it tears him with foaming, and with difficulty departs from him after crushing him. ⁴⁰And I besought thy disciples that they might cast him out, and they could not. ⁴¹And Jesus answering said, O unbelieving and perverted generation, how long shall I be with you and suffer you? Bring hither thy son. ⁴²But as he was yet coming, the demon tore him and dragged him all together. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child and gave him back to his father.

⁴³And all were astonished at the glorious greatness of God. And as all wondered at all the things which Jesus did, he said to his disciples, ⁴⁴Do ye let these words sink into your ears. For the Son of man is about to be delivered into men’s hands. ⁴⁵But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them that they should not perceive it. And they feared to ask him concerning this saying.
