Luke 9:42

Verse 42 of 62. The 9th of 24 chapters in Luke, in The Gospels.

38Behold, a man from the crowd called out, saying, “Teacher, I beg you to look at my son, for he is my only born child.

39Behold, a spirit takes him, he suddenly cries out, and it convulses him so that he foams; and it hardly departs from him, bruising him severely.

40I begged your disciples to cast it out, and they couldn’t.”

41Jesus answered, “Faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here.”

42While he was still coming, the demon threw him down and convulsed him violently. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.

43They were all astonished at the majesty of God. But while all were marveling at all the things which Jesus did, he said to his disciples,

44“Let these words sink into your ears, for the Son of Man will be delivered up into the hands of men.”

45But they didn’t understand this saying. It was concealed from them, that they should not perceive it, and they were afraid to ask him about this saying.

46An argument arose among them about which of them was the greatest.
