Luke 9:37 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 9:37

And it came to pass, that on the next day
For Jesus and his disciples staid all night on the mountain:

when they were come down from the hill;
to the bottom of it:

much people met him.
The Vulgate Latin, Syriac, and Persic versions read, "met them".

Luke 9:37 In-Context

35 And a voice came from the cloud, saying, "This is my Son, [my] Chosen One. Listen to him!"

36 And after the voice had occurred, Jesus was found alone. And they kept silent and told no one in those days anything of what they had seen.

37 Now it happened that on the next day, [when] they had come down from the mountain, a large crowd met him.

38 And behold, a man from the crowd cried out, saying, "Teacher, I beg you to look with concern on my son, because he is my only [son]!

39 And behold, a spirit seizes him and suddenly he screams, and it convulses him with foam and rarely withdraws from him, battering him severely.
