Luke 9:37-45

37Now on the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a large crowd met him.

38Then a man from the crowd cried out, “Teacher, I beg you to look at my son – he is my only child!

39A spirit seizes him, and he suddenly screams; it throws him into convulsions and causes him to foam at the mouth. It hardly ever leaves him alone, torturing him severely.

40I begged your disciples to cast it out, but they could not do so.”

41Jesus answered, “You unbelieving and perverse generation! How much longer must I be with you and endure you? Bring your son here.”

42As the boy was approaching, the demon threw him to the ground and shook him with convulsions. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.

43Then they were all astonished at the mighty power of God. But while the entire crowd was amazed at everything Jesus was doing, he said to his disciples,

44“Take these words to heart, for the Son of Man is going to be betrayed into the hands of men.”

45But they did not understand this statement; its meaning had been concealed from them, so that they could not grasp it. Yet they were afraid to ask him about this statement.
