Luke 9:37-45

37The next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a large crowd met Jesus.

38A man in the crowd shouted, “Teacher, I beg you to look at my son. He’s my only child.

39Whenever a spirit takes control of him, he shrieks, goes into convulsions, and foams at the mouth. After a struggle, the spirit goes away, leaving the child worn out.

40I begged your disciples to force the spirit out of him, but they couldn’t do it.”

41Jesus answered, “You unbelieving and corrupt generation! How long must I be with you and put up with you? Bring your son here!”

42While he was coming ⌞to Jesus⌟, the demon knocked the boy to the ground and threw him into convulsions. Jesus ordered the evil spirit to leave. He cured the boy and gave him back to his father.

43Everyone was amazed to see God’s wonderful power. Everyone was amazed at all the things that Jesus was doing. So he said to his disciples,

44“Listen carefully to what I say. The Son of Man will be betrayed and handed over to people.”

45They didn’t know what he meant. The meaning was hidden from them so that they didn’t understand it. Besides, they were afraid to ask him about what he had said.
