Luke 9:38-49 in English

³⁸ And behold, a man from the multitude cried, saying, Teacher, I beseech thee to look upon my son; for he is mine only child:

³⁹ and behold, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth out; and it teareth him that he foameth, and it hardly departeth from him, bruising him sorely.

⁴⁰ And I besought thy disciples to cast it out; and they could not.

⁴¹ And Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and bear with you? bring hither thy son.

⁴² And as he was yet a coming, the demon dashed him down, and tare him grievously. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.

⁴³ And they were all astonished at the majesty of God. But while all were marvelling at all the things which he did, he said unto his disciples,

⁴⁴ Let these words sink into your ears: for the Son of man shall be delivered up into the hands of men.

⁴⁵ But they understood not this saying, and it was concealed from them, that they should not perceive it; and they were afraid to ask him about this saying.

⁴⁶ And there arose a reasoning among them, which of them was the greatest.

⁴⁷ But when Jesus saw the reasoning of their heart, he took a little child, and set him by his side,

⁴⁸ and said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this little child in my name receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, the same is great.

⁴⁹ And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out demons in thy name; and we forbade him, because he followeth not with us.

³⁸ And, behold, a man of the company cried out, saying, Master, I beseech thee, look upon my son: for he is mine only child.

³⁹ And, lo, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth out; and it teareth him that he foameth again, and bruising him hardly departeth from him.

⁴⁰ And I besought thy disciples to cast him out; and they could not.

⁴¹ And Jesus answering said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and suffer you? Bring thy son hither.

⁴² And as he was yet a coming, the devil threw him down, and tare him. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and delivered him again to his father.

⁴³ And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. But while they wondered every one at all things which Jesus did, he said unto his disciples,

⁴⁴ Let these sayings sink down into your ears: for the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men.

⁴⁵ But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them, that they perceived it not: and they feared to ask him of that saying.

⁴⁶ Then there arose a reasoning among them, which of them should be greatest.

⁴⁷ And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took a child, and set him by him,

⁴⁸ And said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this child in my name receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, the same shall be great.

⁴⁹ And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us.

³⁸ And, behold, a man of the company cried out, saying, Master, I beseech thee, look upon my son: for he is mine only child.

³⁹ And, lo, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth out; and it teareth him that he foameth again, and bruising him hardly departeth from him.

⁴⁰ And I besought thy disciples to cast him out; and they could not.

⁴¹ And Jesus answering said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and suffer you? Bring thy son hither.

⁴² And as he was yet a coming, the devil threw him down, and tare him. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and delivered him again to his father.

⁴³ And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. But while they wondered every one at all things which Jesus did, he said unto his disciples,

⁴⁴ Let these sayings sink down into your ears: for the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men.

⁴⁵ But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them, that they perceived it not: and they feared to ask him of that saying.

⁴⁶ Then there arose a reasoning among them, which of them should be greatest.

⁴⁷ And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took a child, and set him by him,

⁴⁸ And said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this child in my name receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, the same shall be great.

⁴⁹ And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us.

³⁸ And behold, a man from the multitude cried, saying, Master, I beseech thee to look upon my son; for he is mine only child:

³⁹ and behold, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth out; and it teareth him that he foameth, and it hardly departeth from him, bruising him sorely.

⁴⁰ And I besought thy disciples to cast it out; and they could not.

⁴¹ And Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and bear with you? bring hither thy son.

⁴² And as he was yet a coming, the devil dashed him down, and tare him grievously. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.

⁴³ And they were all astonished at the majesty of God. But while all were marveling at all the things which he did, he said unto his disciples,

⁴⁴ Let these words sink into your ears: for the Son of man shall be delivered up into the hands of men.

⁴⁵ But they understood not this saying, and it was concealed from them, that they should not perceive it: and they were afraid to ask him about this saying.

⁴⁶ And there arose a reasoning among them, which of them should be greatest.

⁴⁷ But when Jesus saw the reasoning of their heart, he took a little child, and set him by his side,

⁴⁸ and said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this little child in my name receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, the same is great.

⁴⁹ And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name; and we forbade him, because he followeth not with us.

³⁸ Then a man from the crowd exclaimed, “Teacher, I plead with you, do something to help my son! He is my only child!

³⁹ At various times an evil spirit suddenly seizes him and causes him to scream. The evil spirit shakes him violently and causes him to foam at the mouth. It does not leave until my child is completely exhausted.

⁴⁰ I pleaded with your disciples who were here for them to expel the evil spirit, but they were not able to do it!”

⁴¹ Jesus replied by saying to everyone who had gathered there, “ You who have seen how I help people do not believe that you can do anything. What you think is perverted! How long must I be with you before you are able to do what I do RHQ? How long must I endure your lack of faith?” Then he said to the boy's father, “Bring your (sg) son here to me!”

⁴² While they were bringing the boy to Jesus, the demon attacked the boy, threw him to the ground, and shook him severely. But Jesus rebuked the evil spirit and healed the boy. Then he returned him to his father's care.

⁴³ All the people there were amazed at the great power of God. Luke 9:43b-45 While they were all amazed at all the miracles Jesus was doing, he said to his disciples,

⁴⁴ “Think carefully MTY about what I am about to tell you: Even though I am the one who came from heaven, I will soon be handed over to the authorities (OR, my enemies) { someone is about to enable MTY my enemies to seize me}.”

⁴⁵ But the disciples did not understand what he was saying; God prevented them from understanding it, so that they would not know yet what he meant. And they were afraid to ask him about what he had said.

⁴⁶ The disciples began to argue among themselves about which one of them would be the greatest when Jesus became king.

⁴⁷ But Jesus perceived what they were thinking. So he brought a young child to his side.

⁴⁸ He said to the disciples, “Those who, because they love me, (OR, because they want to behave like me) welcome a little child ◄ like this one/ as I would► MTY, God considers that MET they are welcoming me. And those who welcome me, God considers that MET they are welcoming him, the one who sent me. Remember that those among you who think of themselves as being very unimportant will be the ones whom God considers to be great.”

⁴⁹ John replied to Jesus, “Master, we (exc) saw a man who was expelling demons, claiming that he had authority from you MTY to do that. So we told him to stop doing it, because he is not one of us disciples.”

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

³⁹ Behold, 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.

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

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

⁴² While 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.

⁴³ They 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.”

⁴⁵ But 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.

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

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

⁴⁸ and 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.”

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

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

³⁹ Behold, 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.

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

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

⁴² While 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.

⁴³ They 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.”

⁴⁵ But 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.

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

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

⁴⁸ and 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.”

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

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

³⁹ Behold, 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.

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

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

⁴² While 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.

⁴³ They were all astonished at the majesty of God. But while all were marvelling 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.”

⁴⁵ But 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.

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

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

⁴⁸ and 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 amongst you all, this one will be great.”

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

³⁸ And 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:

³⁹ And 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.

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

⁴¹ And 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.

⁴² And 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.

⁴³ And 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,

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

⁴⁵ But 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.

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

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

⁴⁸ And 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.

⁴⁹ And 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.

³⁸ And lo, a man from the crowd cried out saying, Teacher, I beseech thee look upon my son, for he is mine only child:

³⁹ and behold, a spirit takes him, and suddenly he cries out, and it tears him with foaming, and with difficulty departs from him after crushing him.

⁴⁰ And I besought thy disciples that they might cast him out, and they could not.

⁴¹ And Jesus answering said, O unbelieving and perverted generation, how long shall I be with you and suffer you? Bring hither thy son.

⁴² But as he was yet coming, the demon tore him and dragged him all together. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child and gave him back to his father.

⁴³ And all were astonished at the glorious greatness of God. And as all wondered at all the things which Jesus did, he said to his disciples,

⁴⁴ Do ye let these words sink into your ears. For the Son of man is about to be delivered into men's hands.

⁴⁵ But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them that they should not perceive it. And they feared to ask him concerning this saying.

⁴⁶ And a reasoning came in amongst them, who should be the greatest of them.

⁴⁷ And Jesus, seeing the reasoning of their heart, having taken a little child set it by him,

⁴⁸ and said to them, Whosoever shall receive this little child in my name receives me, and whosoever shall receive me receives him that sent me. For he who is the least among you all, he is great.

⁴⁹ And John answering said, Master, we saw some one casting out demons in thy name, and we forbad him, because he follows not with us.

³⁸ And behold a man among the crowd cried out, saying: Master, I beseech thee, look upon my son, because he is my only one.

³⁹ And lo, a spirit seizeth him, and he suddenly crieth out, and he throweth him down and teareth him, so that he foameth; and bruising him, he hardly departeth from him.

⁴⁰ And I desired thy disciples to cast him out, and they could not.

⁴¹ And Jesus answering, said: O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and suffer you? Bring hither thy son.

⁴² And as he was coming to him, the devil threw him down, and tore him.

⁴³ And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and cured the boy, and restored him to his father.

⁴⁴ And all were astonished at the mighty power of God. But while all wondered at all the things he did, he said to his disciples: Lay you up in your hearts these words, for it shall come to pass, that the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men.

⁴⁵ But they understood not this word; and it was hid from them, so that they perceived it not. And they were afraid to ask him concerning this word.

⁴⁶ And there entered a thought into them, which of them should be greater.

⁴⁷ But Jesus seeing the thoughts of their heart, took a child and set him by him,

⁴⁸ And said to them: Whosoever shall receive this child in my name, receiveth me; and whosoever shall receive me, receiveth him that sent me. For he that is the lesser among you all, he is the greater.

⁴⁹ And John, answering, said: Master, we saw a certain man casting out devils in thy name, and we forbade him, because he followeth not with us.

³⁸ And behold, a man from the crowd cried out, saying, “Teacher, I beg You, look upon my son, for he is my only child.

³⁹ And behold, a spirit seizes him, and he suddenly cries out, and it convulses him so that he foams at the mouth, and it departs from him with great difficulty, bruising him.

⁴⁰ So I begged Your disciples that they might cast it out, but they could not.”

⁴¹ Then Jesus answered and said, “O faithless and perverted generation, how long shall I be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here.”

⁴² And as he was still coming, the demon threw him down and convulsed him. Then Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and gave him back to his father.

⁴³ And they were all amazed at the majesty of God. But while everyone marveled at all the things which Jesus did, He said to His disciples,

⁴⁴ “Let these words sink down into your ears, for the Son of Man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men.”

⁴⁵ But they did not understand this saying, and it was concealed from them so that they did not perceive it; and they were afraid to ask Him about this saying.

⁴⁶ Then a dispute came up among them as to which of them might be the greatest.

⁴⁷ But Jesus, having seen the thought of their heart, taking a little child, He stood him beside Himself,

⁴⁸ and said to them, “Whoever receives this little child in My name receives Me; and whoever receives Me receives Him who sent Me. For he who is least among you all shall be great.”

⁴⁹ Now John answered and said, “Master, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we forbade him because he does not follow with us.”

³⁸ And then, a man from the crowd called out, saying: “Teacher, I beg you, look upon my son, for he is my only begotten.

³⁹ And oh, a spirit seizes him and he suddenly screams, and it convulses him with foaming, and it hardly departs from him, destroying him!

⁴⁰ And I begged your disciples to cast it out, but they could not.”

⁴¹ Then in answer Jesus said: “O unbelieving and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you and put up with you (pl)? Bring your (sg) son here!”

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

⁴³ Everyone was amazed 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, because the Son of the Man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men.”

⁴⁵ But they did not understand this saying; indeed it was concealed from them, in order that they should not perceive it; and they were afraid to ask Him about it.

⁴⁶ Then an argument started among them as to which of them would be the greatest.

⁴⁷ So Jesus, perceiving the reasoning of their heart, took a little child and had him stand beside Him,

⁴⁸ and said to them: “Whoever receives this little child in my name receives me; and whoever receives me receives Him who sent me. Further, he who is least among all of you, he will be great.”

⁴⁹ Then John reacted by saying, “Master, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him because he does not follow with us.”

³⁸ A man in the crowd called out, “Teacher, please look at my son. He's my only child.

³⁹ A spirit possesses him and he screams immediately. It sends him into convulsions and makes him foam at the mouth. It hardly ever leaves him alone and it causes him a lot of pain.

⁴⁰ I begged your disciples to drive it out, but they couldn't.”

⁴¹ “What an unbelieving and corrupt people you are! How long do I have to remain here with you, and put up with you?” said Jesus. “Bring your son here.”

⁴² Even as the boy came over, the demon sent him into convulsions, throwing him to the ground. But Jesus intervened, rebuking the evil spirit and healing the boy, and then gave him back to his father.

⁴³ Everyone was amazed at this demonstration of God's power. However, even though everyone was amazed by all he did, Jesus warned his disciples,

⁴⁴ “Listen carefully to what I'm telling you: the Son of man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men.”

⁴⁵ But they didn't understand what this meant. Its meaning was hidden from them so they didn't realize its implications, and they were afraid to ask him about it.

⁴⁶ Then an argument started among the disciples about which of them was the greatest.

⁴⁷ But Jesus, knowing what they were arguing about, picked up and placed a small child next to him.

⁴⁸ Then he said to them, “Anyone who accepts this little child in my name accepts me, and anyone who accepts me accepts the one who sent me. Whoever is least among you all is the greatest.”

⁴⁹ John spoke up, saying, “Master, we saw someone driving out demons in your name and we tried to stop him because he wasn't one of us.”

³⁸ And beholde, a man of the companie cried out, saying, Master, I beseech thee, beholde my sonne: for he is all that I haue.

³⁹ And loe, a spirit taketh him, and suddenly he crieth, and he teareth him, that he fometh, and hardly departeth from him, when he hath bruised him.

⁴⁰ Nowe I haue besought thy disciples to cast him out, but they could not.

⁴¹ Then Iesus answered, and said, O generation faithlesse, and crooked, howe long now shall I be with you, and suffer you? bring thy sonne hither.

⁴² And whiles he was yet comming, the deuill rent him, and tare him: and Iesus rebuked the vncleane spirite, and healed the childe, and deliuered him to his father.

⁴³ And they were all amased at the mightie power of God: and while they all wondered at al things, which Iesus did, he said vnto his disciples,

⁴⁴ Marke these wordes diligently: for it shall come to passe, that the Sonne of man shalbe deliuered into the handes of men.

⁴⁵ But they vnderstood not that word: for it was hid from them, so that they could not perceiue it: and they feared to aske him of that worde.

⁴⁶ Then there arose a disputation among them, which of them should be the greatest.

⁴⁷ When Iesus sawe the thoughtes of their heartes, he tooke a litle childe, and set him by him,

⁴⁸ And said vnto them, Whosoeuer receiueth this litle childe in my Name, receiueth me: and whosoeuer shall receiue me, receiueth him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, he shall be great.

⁴⁹ And Iohn answered and saide, Master, we sawe one casting out deuils in thy Name, and we forbad him, because he followeth thee not with vs.

³⁸ And behold, a man of the company cried out, saying, Master, I beseech thee, look upon my son: for he is mine only child.

³⁹ And lo, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth out; and it teareth him that he foameth again, and bruising him hardly departeth from him.

⁴⁰ And I besought thy disciples to cast him out; and they could not.

⁴¹ And Jesus answering said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and suffer you? Bring thy son hither.

⁴² And as he was yet a coming, the devil threw him down, and tare him. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and delivered him again to his father.

⁴³ And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. But while they wondered every one at all things which Jesus did, he said unto his disciples,

⁴⁴ Let these sayings sink down into your ears: for the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men.

⁴⁵ But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them, that they perceived it not: and they feared to ask him of that saying.

⁴⁶ Then there arose a reasoning among them, which of them should be greatest.

⁴⁷ And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took a child, and set him by him,

⁴⁸ and said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this child in my name receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, the same shall be great.

⁴⁹ And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us.

³⁸ And lo! a man from the multitude cried out, saying, Teacher, I beseech thee, look upon my son, for he is my only child;

³⁹ and lo! a spirit seizeth him, and suddenly crieth out, and convulseth him so that he foameth, and it departeth from him hardly, taking away all his strength.

⁴⁰ And I besought thy disciples to cast it out, and they could not.

⁴¹ And Jesus answering said, O unbelieving and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and bear with you? Bring thy son hither.

⁴² And while he was yet coming, the demon threw him down, and convulsed him. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and delivered him to his father.

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

⁴⁴ As for you, let these words sink into your ears; for the Son of man is about to be delivered up into the hands of men.

⁴⁵ But they knew not the meaning of these words, and it was hidden from them, that they might not perceive it; and they were afraid to ask him about these words.

⁴⁶ And there arose a reasoning among them, which of them was greatest.

⁴⁷ And Jesus knowing the reasoning of their heart, took a child and set him by his side,

⁴⁸ and said to them, Whoever receiveth this child in my name, receiveth me; and whoever receiveth me, receiveth him who sent me. For he that is least among you all, he is great.

⁴⁹ And John answering said, Master, we saw one casting out demons in thy name, and we forbade him, because he doth not follow in our company.

³⁸ And just then a man in the crowd shouted out, “Teacher, I entreat you to look at my son, for he is my only child;

³⁹ all at once a spirit will seize him, suddenly shriek out, and throw him into convulsions until he foams, and will leave him only when he is utterly exhausted.

⁴⁰ I entreated your disciples to drive the spirit out, but they could not.”

⁴¹ “Faithless and perverse generation!” Jesus exclaimed; “how long must I be with you and have patience with you? Lead your son here.”

⁴² While the boy was coming up to Jesus, the demon dashed him down and threw him into convulsions. But Jesus rebuked the foul spirit, and cured the boy, and gave him back to his father.

⁴³ And all present were struck with awe at the majesty of God. In the midst of the general astonishment at all that Jesus was doing, he said to his disciples,

⁴⁴ “Listen carefully to my words. For the Son of Man is destined to be betrayed into the hands of his fellow men.”

⁴⁵ But the disciples did not understand the meaning of this; it had been concealed from them so that they did not see it, and they were afraid to question him as to what he meant.

⁴⁶ A discussion arose amongst the disciples as to which of them was the greatest;

⁴⁷ and Jesus, knowing of the discussion that was occupying their thoughts, took hold of a little child, and placed it beside him,

⁴⁸ and then said to them, “Anyone who, for the sake of my name, welcomes even this little child is welcoming me; and anyone who welcomes me is welcoming him who sent me as his messenger. For whoever is least amongst you all — that person is great.”

⁴⁹ John said, “Sir, we saw a man driving out demons by using your name, and we tried to prevent him, because he does not follow you with us.”

³⁸ And just then a man in the crowd shouted out, “Teacher, I entreat you to look at my son, for he is my only child;

³⁹ all at once a spirit will seize him, suddenly shriek out, and throw him into convulsions until he foams, and will leave him only when he is utterly exhausted.

⁴⁰ I entreated your disciples to drive the spirit out, but they could not.”

⁴¹ “Faithless and perverse generation!” Jesus exclaimed; “how long must I be with you and have patience with you? Lead your son here.”

⁴² While the boy was coming up to Jesus, the demon dashed him down and threw him into convulsions. But Jesus rebuked the foul spirit, and cured the boy, and gave him back to his father.

⁴⁵ But the disciples did not understand the meaning of this; it had been concealed from them so that they did not see it, and they were afraid to question him as to what he meant.

⁴⁶ A discussion arose among the disciples as to which of them was the greatest;

⁴⁷ and Jesus, knowing of the discussion that was occupying their thoughts, took hold of a little child, and placed it beside him,

⁴⁸ and then said to them, “Anyone who, for the sake of my name, welcomes even this little child is welcoming me; and anyone who welcomes me is welcoming him who sent me as his messenger. For whoever is least among you all — that person is great.”

⁴⁹ John said, “Sir, we saw a man driving out demons by using your name, and we tried to prevent him, because he does not follow you with us.”

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

³⁹ Behold, 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.

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

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

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

⁴³ They were all astonished at the majesty of God. But while all were marveling at all the things which Yeshua Salvation 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.”

⁴⁵ But 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.

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

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

⁴⁸ and 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.”

⁴⁹ John Yah is gracious answered, “Master, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him, because he does not follow with us.”

³⁸ And beholde a man of the company cryed out sayinge: Master I beseche the beholde my sonne for he is all that I have:

³⁹ and se a sprete taketh him and sodenly he cryeth and he teareth him that he fometh agayne and with moche payne departeth from him when he hath rent him

⁴⁰ and I besought thy disciples to cast him out and they coulde not.

⁴¹ Iesus answered and sayde: O generacion with oute fayth and croked: how longe shall I be with you? and shall suffre you? Bringe thy sonne hidder.

⁴² As he yet was a cominge the fende ret him and tare him. And Iesus rebuked the vnclene sprete and healed the childe and delivered him to his father. And they were all amased at the mighty power of God.

⁴³ Whyll they wondred every one at all thinges which he dyd he sayd vnto his disciples:

⁴⁴ Let these sayinges synke doune into youre eares. The tyme will come when the sonne of man shalbe delivered into the hondes of men.

⁴⁵ But they wist not what that worde meant and that was hyd from the that they vnderstode that not. And they feared to axe him of that sayinge.

⁴⁶ Then ther arose a disputacion amonge the: who shuld be the greatest.

⁴⁷ When Iesus perceaved the thoughtes of their hertes he toke a chylde and set him hard by him

⁴⁸ and sayd vnto the: Whosoever receaveth this chylde in my name receaveth me. And whosoever receaveth me receaveth him that sent me. For he that is least amonge you all the same shalbe greate.

⁴⁹ And Iohn answered and sayde: Master we sawe one castinge out devyls in thy name and we forbade him because he foloweth not with vs.

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

³⁹ You see, a spirit takes control over him and he suddenly screams; it causes him to have convulsions so that he foams at the mouth. It hardly ever leaves him and it bruises him badly.

⁴⁰ I begged your disciples to force it out, but they could not.”

⁴¹ Jesus answered and said, “You unbelieving and depraved generation, how long must I be with you and put up with you? Bring your son here.”

⁴² While the boy was coming, the demon threw him to the ground and shook him with convulsions. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit and healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.

⁴³ Then they were all amazed at the greatness of God. While they all were marveling at everything he was doing, he said to his disciples,

⁴⁴ “Let these words go deeply into your ears: The Son of Man will be betrayed into the hands of men.”

⁴⁵ But they did not understand this statement. It was hidden from them, so they could not know its meaning, and yet they were afraid to ask about this statement.

⁴⁶ Then an argument started among them about which of them would be the greatest.

⁴⁷ But Jesus, knowing the reasoning in their hearts, took a little child and put him by his side

⁴⁸ and said to them, “Whoever welcomes this child in my name, welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me, welcomes the one who sent me. For whoever is least among you all is the one who is great.”

⁴⁹ John answered, “Master, we saw someone forcing out demons in your name and we prevented him, because he does not follow along with us.”

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

³⁹ Behold, 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.

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

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

⁴² While 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.

⁴³ They 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,

⁴⁸ and 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.”

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

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

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

⁴² While 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.

⁴³ They were all astonished at the majesty of God. But while all were marvelling 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.”

⁴⁵ But 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.

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

³⁸ And behold, a man of the company cried out, saying, Master, I beseech thee look upon my son: for he is my only child.

³⁹ And lo, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth out; and it teareth him that he foameth, and bruising him, hardly departeth from him.

⁴⁰ And I besought thy disciples to cast him out, and they could not.

⁴¹ And Jesus answering, said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and suffer you? Bring thy son hither.

⁴² And as he was yet coming, the demon threw him down, and tore him . And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and delivered him again to his father.

⁴³ And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. But while they were all wondering at all things which Jesus did, he said to his disciples,

⁴⁴ Let these sayings sink down into your ears: for the Son of man will be delivered into the hands of men.

⁴⁵ But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them, that they perceived it not: and they feared to ask him concerning that saying.

⁴⁶ Then there arose a reasoning among them, which of them should be greatest.

⁴⁷ And Jesus perceiving the thought of their heart, took a child, and set him by him,

⁴⁸ And said to them, Whoever shall receive this child in my name, receiveth me; and whoever shall receive me, receiveth him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, the same shall be great.

⁴⁹ And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out demons in thy name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us.

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

³⁹ Behold, 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.

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

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

⁴² While 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.

⁴³ They 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,

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

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

³⁸ And lo! a man of the company cried, and said, Master, I beseech thee, behold my son, for I have no more;

³⁹ and lo! a spirit taketh him, and suddenly he crieth, and hurtleth him down, and draweth him with foam or with froth, and scarcely he goeth away drawing him all to pieces.

⁴⁰ And I prayed thy disciples, that they should cast him out, and they might not.

⁴¹ And Jesus answered and said to them, A! unfaithful generation and wayward, how long shall I be with you, and suffer you? bring hither thy son.

⁴² And when he came nigh, the devil hurtled him down, and wrenched him. And Jesus blamed the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and yielded him to his father.

⁴³ And all men wondered greatly in the greatness of God. And when all men wondered in all things that he did, he said to his disciples,

⁴⁴ Put ye these words in your hearts, for it is to come, that man’s Son be betrayed into the hands of men.

⁴⁵ And they knew not this word, and it was hid before them, that they feeled it not; and they dreaded to ask him of this word.

⁴⁶ But a thought entered into them, who of them should be greatest.

⁴⁷ And Jesus, seeing the thoughts of the heart of them, took a child, and setted him beside him;

⁴⁸ and said to them, Whoever receiveth this child in my name, receiveth me; and whoever receiveth me, receiveth him that sent me; for he that is least among you all, is the greatest.

⁴⁹ And John answered and said, Commander, we saw a man casting out fiends in thy name, and we have forbidden him, for he pursueth not thee with us.

³⁸ And lo! a man of the company cried, and said, Master, I beseech thee, behold my son, for I have no more; (And behold! a man among the people cried, and said, Teacher, I beseech thee, look at my son, for I have no other child;)

³⁹ and lo! a spirit taketh him, and suddenly he crieth, and hurtleth him down, and draweth him with foam or with froth, and scarcely he goeth away (before) drawing him all to pieces.

⁴⁰ And I prayed thy disciples, that they should cast him out, and they might not. (And I beseeched thy disciples, that they should throw out the spirit, but they could not do it.)

⁴¹ And Jesus answered and said to them, A! unfaithful generation and wayward (or O unfaithful and wayward generation!), how long shall I be with you, and suffer you? bring hither thy son.

⁴² And when he came nigh, the devil hurtled him down, and wrenched him. And Jesus blamed the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and yielded him (back) to his father, (or And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, yea, the demon, and healed the child, and gave him back to his father).

⁴³ And all men wondered greatly in the greatness of God. And when all men wondered in all (the) things that he did, he said to his disciples, (And everyone wondered greatly at the greatness of God. And when everyone wondered at all the things that he did, he said to his disciples,)

⁴⁴ Put ye these words in your hearts, for it is to come, that man’s Son be betrayed into the hands of men.

⁴⁵ And they knew not this word, and it was hid before them, that they feeled it not; and they dreaded to ask him of this word. (But they did not know what this meant, and it was hidden to them, so that they could not perceive or understand it; and they feared to ask him about these words.)

⁴⁸ and said to them, Whoever receiveth this child in my name, receiveth me; and whoever receiveth me, receiveth him that sent me; for he that is (the) least among you all, is the greatest.

⁴⁹ And John answered and said, Commander, we saw a man casting out fiends in thy name, and we have forbidden him, for he (pur)sueth not thee with us. (And John said, Master, we saw a man throwing out devils and demons in thy name, and we have forbidden him, for he followeth not thee with us.)

³⁸ And lo! a man of the cumpany criede, and seide, Maister, Y biseche thee, biholde my sone, for Y haue no mo; and lo!

³⁹ a spirit takith hym, and sudenli he crieth, and hurtlith doun, and to-drawith hym with fome, and vnneth he goith awei al to-drawynge hym.

⁴⁰ And Y preiede thi disciplis, that thei schulden caste hym out, and thei myyten not.

⁴¹ And Jhesus answerde and seide to hem, A! vnfeithful generacioun and weiward, hou long schal Y be at you, and suffre you? brynge hidur thi sone.

⁴² And whanne he cam nyy, the deuel hurtlide hym doun, and to-braidide hym. And Jhesus blamyde `the vnclene spirit, and heelide the child, and yeldide him to his fadir.

⁴³ And alle men wondriden greetli in the gretnesse of God. And whanne alle men wondriden in alle thingis that he dide, he seide to hise disciplis,

⁴⁴ Putte ye these wordis in youre hertis, for it is to come, that mannus sone be bitrayed in to the hondis of men.

⁴⁵ And thei knewen not this word, and it was hid bifor hem, that thei feeliden it not; and thei dredden to axe hym of this word.

⁴⁶ But a thouyt entride in to hem, who of hem schulde be grettest.

⁴⁷ And Jhesu, seynge the thouytis of the herte of hem, took a child, and settide hym bisidis hym;

⁴⁸ and seide to hem, Who euer resseyueth this child in my name, resseyueth me; and who euer resseyueth me, resseiueth him that sente me; for he that is leest among you alle, is the grettest.

⁴⁹ And Joon answeride and seide, Comaundoure, we sayn a man castynge out feendis in thi name, and we han forbedun hym, for he sueth not thee with vs.

³⁸ and lo, a man from the multitude cried out, saying, 'Teacher, I beseech thee, look upon my son, because he is my only begotten;

³⁹ and lo, a spirit doth take him, and suddenly he doth cry out, and it teareth him, with foaming, and it hardly departeth from him, bruising him,

⁴⁰ and I besought thy disciples that they might cast it out, and they were not able.'

⁴¹ And Jesus answering said, 'O generation, unstedfast and perverse, till when shall I be with you, and suffer you? bring near hither thy son;'

⁴² and as he is yet coming near, the demon rent him, and tore him sore, and Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the youth, and gave him back to his father.

⁴³ And they were all amazed at the greatness of God, and while all are wondering at all things that Jesus did, he said unto his disciples,

⁴⁴ 'Lay ye to your ears these words, for the Son of Man is about to be delivered up to the hands of men.'

⁴⁵ And they were not knowing this saying, and it was veiled from them, that they might not perceive it, and they were afraid to ask him about this saying.

⁴⁶ And there entered a reasoning among them, this, Who may be greater of them?

⁴⁷ and Jesus having seen the reasoning of their heart, having taken hold of a child, set him beside himself,

⁴⁸ and said to them, 'Whoever may receive this child in my name, doth receive me, and whoever may receive me, doth receive Him who sent me, for he who is least among you all — he shall be great.'

⁴⁹ And John answering said, 'Master, we saw a certain one in thy name casting forth the demons, and we forbade him, because he doth not follow with us;'
