Luke:9:37-45

*
Now it happened on the next day ,
when they had come down from the mountain ,
that a great multitude met Him .
*
Suddenly a man from the multitude cried out ,
saying , "
Teacher ,
I implore You ,
look on my son ,
for he is my only child .
*
And behold ,
a spirit seizes him ,
and he suddenly cries out ;
it convulses him so that he foams at the mouth ;
and it departs from him with great difficulty ,
bruising him .
*
So I implored Your disciples to cast it out ,
but they could not ."
*
Then Jesus answered and said , "
O faithless and perverse generation ,
how long shall I be with you and bear with you ?
Bring your son here ."
*
And as 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 .
*
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 ,
* "
Let these words sink down into your ears ,
for the Son of Man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men ."
*
But they did not understand this saying ,
and it was hidden from them so that they did not perceive it ;
and they were afraid to ask Him about this saying .
