Luke 9:42-51

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

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

⁴⁴And 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.

⁴⁵But 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.

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

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

⁴⁸And 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.

⁴⁹And 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.

⁵⁰And Jesus said to him: Forbid him not; for he that is not against you, is for you.

⁵¹And it came to pass, when the days of his assumption were accomplishing, that he steadfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem.
