38 Suddenly one of the people cried out, 'Teacher! I beseech Thee to look upon my son, for he is my only son;

39 His breath catches him, and he suddenly cries out, and tears him to pieces, so that he foams. and forcibly departs from him, having tormented him.

40 I asked Thy disciples to cast him out, and they could not.

41 And Jesus answered and said, "O unfaithful and perverse generation! How long will I be with you and endure you? Bring thy son hither.

42 And while he was still walking, the demon threw him down, and began to smite him; but Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and gave him to his father.

43 And they were all amazed at the greatness of God.

And when they were all amazed at all that Jesus had done, he said to his disciples,

44 Put these words into your ears, The Son of Man shall be delivered into the hands of men.

45 But they did not understand this word, and it was hidden from them, so that they did not comprehend it, but they were afraid to ask him about it.

46 And the thought came to them, Which of them would be greater?

47 And Jesus, seeing the thought of their heart, took the child, and set him before him

48 And he said to them, 'Whoever receives this child in my name receives me; but whoever receives Me receives Him who sent Me; for whoever is the least of you will be great.

49 And John said, "Teacher! we saw a man casting out demons in Thy name, and we rebuked him, because he does not walk with us.

50 Jesus said to him, "Do not forbid, for he who is not against you is for you."

51 And when the days of his taking away from the world drew nigh, he desired to go up to Jerusalem;

52 And he sent messengers before his face; and they went and entered into the village of the Samaritans; to prepare for Him;

53 but they did not receive him there, because he had the appearance of going to Jerusalem.

54 And when his disciples, James and John, saw this, they said, 'Lord! Do you want us to say that fire should come down from heaven and destroy them, as Elijah did?

55 But he turned to them, and rebuked them, saying, 'You do not know what kind of spirit you are;

56 For the Son of Man did not come to destroy the souls of men, but to save them. And they went to another village.

57 And it came to pass that while they were on the way, a man said to him, 'Lord! I will follow You wherever You go.
