Luke 9:38-49

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

³⁹and 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.

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

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

⁴²And 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.

⁴³And 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,

⁴⁴As 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.

⁴⁵But 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.

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

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

⁴⁸and 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.

⁴⁹And 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.
