Luke 9:32-56

32MeanwhileG1161 PeterG4074 andG2532 his companionsG3588G4862G846 wereG1510 overcomeG916 by sleepG5258, butG1161 when they awokeG1235, they sawG3708 Jesus’ gloryG1391 andG2532 theG3588 twoG1417 menG435 standing withG4921 HimG846. 33AsG2532G1096G1722 Moses and Elijah were leavingG1316G575G846, PeterG4074 saidG2036 toG4314 JesusG2424, “MasterG1988, it isG1510 goodG2570 for usG1473 to beG1510 hereG5602. Let us put upG4160 threeG5140 sheltersG46331—oneG1520 for YouG4771, oneG1520 for MosesG3475, andG2532 oneG1520 for ElijahG2243.” (He did not knowG3361G1492 whatG3739 he was sayingG3004.)

34WhileG1161 Peter was speakingG3004G3778, a cloudG3507 appearedG1096 andG2532 envelopedG1982 themG846, andG1161 they were afraidG5399 asG1722 theyG846 enteredG1525G1519 theG3588 cloudG3507. 35AndG2532 a voiceG5456 cameG1096 fromG1537 theG3588 cloudG3507, sayingG3004, “ThisG3778 isG1510 MyG1473 SonG5207, whom I have chosenG1586.2 ListenG191 to HimG846!”

36AfterG2532G1722 theG3588 voiceG5456 had spokenG1096, onlyG3441 JesusG2424 was presentG2147 with them. The disciples kept this to themselvesG4601, andG2532 inG1722 thoseG1565 daysG2250 they did not tell anyoneG518G3762 whatG3739 they had seenG3708.

37

TheG3588 nextG1836 dayG2250, whenG846 they came downG2718 fromG575 theG3588 mountainG3735, Jesus was metG4876 by a largeG4183 crowdG3793. 38SuddenlyG2532G2400 a manG435 inG575 theG3588 crowdG3793 cried outG994G3004, “TeacherG1320, I begG1189 YouG4771 to lookG1914 atG1909 myG1473 sonG5207, forG3754 he isG1510 myG1473 only childG3439. 39A spiritG4151 keeps seizingG2983 himG846, andG2532 he screamsG2896 abruptlyG1810. It throws him into convulsionsG4682G846 so that he foams at the mouthG876. It keeps maulingG4937 himG846 and rarelyG3425 departsG672 fromG575 himG846. 40I beggedG1189 YourG4771 disciplesG3101 toG2443 drive it outG1544G846, butG2532 they were unableG3756G1410.”

41“OG5599 unbelievingG571 andG2532 perverseG1294 generationG1074!” JesusG2424 repliedG611G2036. “How longG2193G4219 must I remainG1510 withG4314 youG4771 andG2532 put up withG430 youG4771? BringG4317 yourG4771 sonG5207 hereG5602.”

42EvenG1161 whileG2089 the boy was approachingG4334, theG3588 demonG1140 slammed him to the groundG4486G846 in a convulsionG4952. ButG1161 JesusG2424 rebukedG2008 theG3588 uncleanG169 spiritG4151, healedG2390 theG3588 boyG3816, andG2532 gave him backG591G846 toG3588 hisG846 fatherG3962.

43AndG1161 they were all astonishedG3956G1605 atG1909 theG3588 greatnessG3168 of GodG2316.

WhileG1161 everyoneG3956 was marvelingG2296 atG1909 allG3956 thatG3739 Jesus was doingG4160, He saidG2036 toG4314 HisG846 disciplesG3101, 44“LetG4771 theseG3778 wordsG3056 sinkG5087 intoG1519 yourG4771 earsG3775: TheG3588 SonG5207 of ManG444 is aboutG3195 to be deliveredG3860 intoG1519 the handsG5495 of menG444.” 45ButG1161 they did not understandG50 thisG3778 statementG4487. It wasG1510 veiledG3871 fromG575 themG846 so thatG2443 they could not comprehendG3361G143 itG846, andG2532 they were afraidG5399 to askG2065 HimG846 aboutG4012 it.

46ThenG1161 an argumentG1261 startedG1525 amongG1722 the disciples as to whichG5101G302 of themG846 would beG1510 the greatestG3173. 47ButG1161 JesusG2424, knowingG1492 theG3588 thoughtsG1261 ofG3588 theirG846 heartsG2588, hadG1949G2476G846 a little child standG3813 besideG3844 HimG1438. 48AndG2532 He saidG2036 to themG846, “WhoeverG3739G1437 welcomesG1209 thisG3778 little childG3813 inG1909 MyG1473 nameG3686 welcomesG1209 MeG1473, andG2532 whoeverG3739G302 welcomesG1209 MeG1473 welcomesG1209 theG3588 One who sentG649 MeG1473. ForG1063 whoeverG3588 isG5225 the leastG3398 amongG1722 allG3956 of youG4771, heG3778 isG1510 the greatestG3173.”

49“MasterG1988,” saidG611G2036 JohnG2491, “we sawG3708 someoneG5100 driving outG1544 demonsG1140 inG1722 YourG4771 nameG3686, andG2532 we tried to stopG2967 himG846, becauseG3754G3756 he does not accompanyG190G3326 usG1473.”

50“Do notG3361 stopG2967 him,” JesusG2424 repliedG2036, “forG1063 whoeverG3739 isG1510 notG3756 againstG2596 youG4771 isG1510 forG5228 youG4771.”

51

AsG1722 theG3588 dayG2250 ofG3588 HisG846 ascensionG354 approachedG4845, Jesus resolutely set outG4741G3588G4383G4198 forG1519 JerusalemG2419. 52He sentG649 messengersG32 on aheadG4253G846G4383, who wentG4198G1525 intoG1519 a villageG2968 of the SamaritansG4541 toG5613 make arrangementsG2090 for HimG846. 53ButG2532 the people there refused to welcomeG3756G1209 HimG846, becauseG3754 HeG846G3588G4383 wasG1510 headingG4198 forG1519 JerusalemG2419.

54WhenG1161 theG3588 disciplesG3101 JamesG2385 andG2532 JohnG2491 sawG3708 this, they askedG2036, “LordG2962, do You wantG2309 us to callG2036 downG2597 fireG4442 fromG575 heavenG37723 to consumeG355 themG846?”

55ButG1161 Jesus turnedG4762 and rebukedG2008 themG846.4 56AndG2532 He and His disciples went onG4198 toG1519 anotherG2087 villageG2968.
