Luke 9:37-45

37On the next day, when they came down from the mountain, a large crowd met Him.

38And a man from the crowd shouted for help, “Teacher, I beg You to look at my son, because he is my only child;

39and a spirit seizes him, and suddenly he cries out, and it throws him into a convulsion so that he foams at the mouth; and only with [great] difficulty does it leave him, mauling and bruising him as it leaves.

40I begged Your disciples to cast it out, but they could not.”

41Jesus answered, “You unbelieving and perverted generation! How long shall I be with you and put up with you? Bring your son here [to Me].”

42Even while the boy was coming, the demon slammed him down and threw him into a [violent] convulsion. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the boy and gave him back to his father.

43They were all amazed [practically overwhelmed] at the [evidence of the] greatness of God and His majesty and His wondrous work. But while they were still awed by everything Jesus was doing, He said to His disciples,

44“Let these words sink into your ears: the Son of Man is going to be betrayed and handed over to men [who are His enemies].”

45However, they did not understand this statement. Its meaning was kept hidden from them so that they would not grasp it; and they were afraid to ask Him about it.
