Luke 9:37–45

Jesus Casts Out a Demon

^37aNow it happened on the next day, that when they came down from the mountain, a large crowd met Him.

³⁸And behold, a man from the crowd shouted, saying, “Teacher, I beg You to look at my son, for he is my ¹only one,

³⁹and behold, a spirit seizes him, and he suddenly screams, and it throws him into a convulsion with foaming at the mouth, and only with difficulty does it leave him, mauling him as it leaves.

⁴⁰“And I begged Your disciples to cast it out, and they could not.”

⁴¹And Jesus answered and said, “You unbelieving and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you and put up with you? Bring your son here.”

⁴²Now while he was still approaching, the demon ¹slammed him to the ground and threw him into a convulsion. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit and healed the boy and gave him back to his father.

⁴³And they were all astonished at the ^amajesty of God.

Jesus Foretells His Death and Resurrection

^bBut while everyone was marveling at all that He was doing, He said to His disciples,

⁴⁴“Put these words into your ears; ^afor the Son of Man is going to be ¹delivered into the hands of men.”

⁴⁵But ^athey ¹did not understand this statement, and it was concealed from them so that they would not perceive it, and they were afraid to ask Him about this statement.
