Luke 9:41-55
-
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.
-
51 And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem,
-
52 And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him.
-
53 And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem.
-
54 And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did?
-
55 But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of.
