Luke 9:33-54

³³And when they were about to go away from him, Peter said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here; let us make three tents, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah: having no knowledge of what he was saying.

³⁴And while he said these things, the shade of a cloud came over them, and they were full of fear when they went into the cloud.

³⁵And there was a voice from the cloud saying, This is my Son, the man of my selection; give ear to him.

³⁶And after the voice was gone they saw that Jesus was by himself. And they kept quiet, and said nothing at that time to anyone of the things which they had seen.

³⁷And on the day after, when they came down from the mountain, a great band of people came to him.

³⁸And a man from among them, crying out, said, Master, I make a request to you, give a thought to my son, for he is my only child:

³⁹And see, a spirit takes him, and suddenly he gives a cry, twisted in pain and streaming at the lips, and when it goes away from him at last, he is marked as from blows.

⁴⁰And I made a request to your disciples to send it out of him, but they were not able to do it.

⁴¹And Jesus said, O generation without faith and false in heart, how long will I have to be with you and put up with you? let your son come here.

⁴²And while he was coming, he was pushed violently down and twisted by the evil spirit. But Jesus gave sharp orders to the unclean spirit, and made the boy well, and gave him back to his father.

⁴³And they were full of wonder at the great power of God. But while they were all wondering at all the things which he did, he said to his disciples,

⁴⁴Let these words go deep into your ears, for the Son of man will be given up into the hands of men.

⁴⁵But this saying was not clear to them and its sense was kept secret from them so that they were not able to see it: and they had fear of questioning him about it.

⁴⁶Now there was a discussion among them about which of them would be the greatest.

⁴⁷But when Jesus saw the reasoning of their hearts, he took a small child and put him by his side,

⁴⁸And said to them, Whoever gives honour to this child in my name, gives honour to me: and whoever gives honour to me, gives honour to him who sent me: for whoever is least among you all, that man is great.

⁴⁹And John, answering, said, Master, we saw a man driving out evil spirits in your name, and we did not let him do it, because he was not one of us.

⁵⁰But Jesus said to him, Let him do it, for he who is not against you is for you.

⁵¹And it came about that when the days were near for him to be taken up, his face was turned to go to Jerusalem,

⁵²And he sent men before: and they came to a small town of Samaria to make ready for him.

⁵³But they would not have him there, because he was clearly going to Jerusalem.

⁵⁴And when his disciples, James and John, saw this, they said, Lord, may we send fire from heaven and put an end to them?
