| 37 | 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, "Teacher, I beg you to look upon my son, for he is my only child; |
| 39 | and behold, a spirit seizes him, and he suddenly cries out; it convulses him till he foams, and shatters him, and will hardly leave him. |
| 40 | And I begged your disciples to cast it out, but they could not." |
| 41 | Jesus answered, "O faithless and perverse generation, how long am I to be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here." |
| 42 | While he was coming, the demon tore him and convulsed him. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the boy, and gave him back to his father. |
| 43 | And all were astonished at the majesty of God. But while they were all marveling at everything he did, he said to his disciples, |
| 44 | "Let these words sink into your ears; for the Son of man is to be delivered into the hands of men." |
| 45 | But they did not understand this saying, and it was concealed from them, that they should not perceive it; and they were afraid to ask him about this saying. |
