Luke 9:35-50
-
35 And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.
-
36 And when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone. And they kept it close, and told no man in those days any of those things which they had seen.
-
37 And it came to pass, that on the next day, when they were come down from the hill, much people met him.
-
38 And, behold, a man of the company cried out, saying, Master, I beseech thee, look upon my son: for he is mine only child.
-
39 And, lo, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth out; and it teareth him that he foameth again, and bruising him hardly departeth from him.
-
40 And I besought thy disciples to cast him out; and they could not.
-
41 And Jesus answering said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and suffer you? Bring thy son hither.
-
42 And as he was yet a coming, the devil threw him down, and tare him. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and delivered him again to his father.
-
43 And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. But while they wondered every one at all things which Jesus did, he said unto his disciples,
-
44 Let these sayings sink down into your ears: for the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men.
-
45 But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them, that they perceived it not: and they feared to ask him of that saying.
-
46 Then there arose a reasoning among them, which of them should be greatest.
-
47 And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took a child, and set him by him,
-
48 And said unto 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 least among you all, the same shall be great.
-
49 And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us.
-
50 And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against us is for us.
