³⁷And it came to pass on the next day, they having come down from the mount, there met him a great multitude, ³⁸and lo, a man from the multitude cried out, saying, ‘Teacher, I beseech thee, look upon my son, because he is my only begotten; ³⁹and lo, a spirit doth take him, and suddenly he doth cry out, and it teareth him, with foaming, and it hardly departeth from him, bruising him, ⁴⁰and I besought thy disciples that they might cast it out, and they were not able.’ ⁴¹And Jesus answering said, ‘O generation, unstedfast and perverse, till when shall I be with you, and suffer you? bring near hither thy son;’ ⁴²and as he is yet coming near, the demon rent him, and tore him sore, and Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the youth, and gave him back to his father.

⁴³And they were all amazed at the greatness of God, and while all are wondering at all things that Jesus did, he said unto his disciples, ⁴⁴‘Lay ye to your ears these words, for the Son of Man is about to be delivered up to the hands of men.’ ⁴⁵And they were not knowing this saying, and it was veiled from them, that they might not perceive it, and they were afraid to ask him about this saying.
