Luke 9:38 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 9:38

And behold, a man of the company
One that was in the company, and among the multitude, that met him:

cried out;
with great vehemence and earnestness:

saying, Master;
doctor, or "Rabbi":

I beseech thee:
most humbly, for he was now on his knees:

look upon my son:
with pity and compassion, and help him:

for he is mine only child;
wherefore he was dear unto him, and he was greatly concerned for him, and earnestly desirous of his being restored to health; and this he mentions, to move the compassion of Christ.

38 et ecce vir de turba exclamavit dicens magister obsecro te respice in filium meum quia unicus est mihi

39 et ecce spiritus adprehendit illum et subito clamat et elidit et dissipat eum cum spuma et vix discedit dilanians eum

40 et rogavi discipulos tuos ut eicerent illum et non potuerunt
