rsv Luke:9:37-45 SEEK

*
On the next day ,
when they had come down from the mountain ,
a great crowd met him .
*
And behold ,
a man from the crowd cried , "
Teacher ,
I beg you to look upon my son ,
for he is my only child ;
*
and behold ,
a spirit seizes him ,
and he suddenly cries out ;
it convulses him till he foams ,
and shatters him ,
and will hardly leave him .
*
And I begged your disciples to cast it out ,
but they could not ."
*
Jesus answered , "
O faithless and perverse generation ,
how long am I to be with you and bear with you ?
Bring your son here ."
*
While he was coming ,
the demon tore him and convulsed him .
But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit ,
and healed the boy ,
and gave him back to his father .
*
And all were astonished at the majesty of God .
But while they were all marveling at everything he did ,
he said to his disciples ,
* "
Let these words sink into your ears ;
for the Son of man is to be delivered into the hands of men ."
*
But they did not understand this saying ,
and it was concealed from them ,
that they should not perceive it ;
and they were afraid to ask him about this saying .
