Context of Luke 9:43

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. Everyone 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.
