Luke 9:33-54

³³As they were parting from him, Peter said to Yeshua, “Master, it is good for us to be here. Let’s make three tents: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah,” not knowing what he said.

³⁴While he said these things, a cloud came and overshadowed them, and they were afraid as they entered into the cloud.

³⁵A voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him!”

³⁶When the voice came, Yeshua was found alone. They were silent, and told no one in those days any of the things which they had seen.

³⁷On the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a great multitude met him.

³⁸Behold, a man from the crowd called out, saying, “Rabbi, 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.”

⁴¹Yeshua 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 Yeshua 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 Yeshua 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.

⁴⁷Yeshua, perceiving the reasoning of their hearts, took a little child, and set him by his side,

⁴⁸and said to them, “Whoever receives this little child in my name receives me. Whoever receives me receives him who sent me. For whoever is least among you all, this one will be great.”

⁴⁹Yochanan answered, “Master, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him, because he doesn’t follow with us.”

⁵⁰Yeshua said to him, “Don’t forbid him, for he who is not against us is for us.”

⁵¹It came to pass, when the days were near that he should be taken up, he intently set his face to go to Jerusalem

⁵²and sent messengers before his face. They went and entered into a village of the Samaritans, so as to prepare for him.

⁵³They didn’t receive him, because he was traveling with his face set toward Jerusalem.

⁵⁴When his disciples, Jacob and Yochanan, saw this, they said, “Lord, do you want us to command fire to come down from the sky and destroy them, just as Elijah did?”
