Luke 9:37-45

English Standard Version

Jesus Heals a Boy with an Unclean Spirit

^37 (A)On the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a great crowd met him. ³⁸ And behold, a man from the crowd cried out, “Teacher, I beg you to look at my son, for ^(B)he is my only child. ³⁹ And behold, a spirit seizes him, and he suddenly cries out. It convulses him so that he foams at the mouth, and shatters him, and will hardly leave him. ⁴⁰ And I begged your disciples to cast it out, but ^(C)they could not.” ⁴¹ Jesus answered, “O ^(D)faithless and twisted generation, ^(E)how long am I to be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here.” ⁴² While he was coming, the demon threw him to the ground and convulsed him. But Jesus ^(F)rebuked the unclean spirit and healed the boy, and ^(G)gave him back to his father. ⁴³ And all were astonished at ^(H)the majesty of God.

Jesus Again Foretells His Death

^(I)But while they were all marveling at everything he was doing, Jesus^[a] said ^(J)to his disciples, ⁴⁴ “Let these words sink into your ears: ^(K)The Son of Man is about to be delivered into the hands of men.” ^45 (L)But they did not understand this saying, and ^(M)it was concealed from them, so that they might not perceive it. And they were afraid to ask him about this saying.
