Luke 9:37–45

Jesus Heals a Boy with an Unclean Spirit

^37qOn the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a great crowd met him. ³⁸And behold, a man from the crowd cried out, “Teacher, I beg you to look at my son, for ^rhe is my only child. ³⁹And behold, a spirit seizes him, and he suddenly cries out. It convulses him so that he foams at the mouth, and shatters him, and will hardly leave him. ⁴⁰And I begged your disciples to cast it out, but ^sthey could not.” ⁴¹Jesus answered, “O ^tfaithless and twisted generation, ^uhow long am I to be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here.” ⁴²While he was coming, the demon threw him to the ground and convulsed him. But Jesus ^vrebuked the unclean spirit and healed the boy, and ^wgave him back to his father. ⁴³And all were astonished at ^xthe majesty of God.

Jesus Again Foretells His Death

^yBut while they were all marveling at everything he was doing, Jesus⁴ said ^zto his disciples, ⁴⁴“Let these words sink into your ears: ^zThe Son of Man is about to be delivered into the hands of men.” ^45aBut they did not understand this saying, and ^bit was concealed from them, so that they might not perceive it. And they were afraid to ask him about this saying.
