Context of Luke 9:42

40I begged your disciples to drive it out, but they couldn’t.” 41Jesus replied, “You unbelieving and perverse generation, how long will I be with you and put up with you? Bring your son here.” As the boy was still approaching, the demon knocked him down and threw him into severe convulsions. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, healed the boy, and gave him back to his father. 43And they were all astonished at the greatness of God. While everyone was amazed at all the things he was doing, he told his disciples, 44“Let these words sink in: The Son of Man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men.”
