Luke 9:38-49

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

³⁹and 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.

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

⁴¹And 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.

⁴²And 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.

⁴³And 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,

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

⁴⁵And 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.

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

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

⁴⁸and 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.

⁴⁹And 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.
