38
And an ish from the multitude cried out, saying, Rabbi, I beg you to look at beni (my son), for to me he is a ben yachid (only son),
39
And a shed seizes him and suddenly shrieking and lets out a shrai and throws the bocher into a convulsion with foam at the mouth and it mauls him and will scarcely depart from him.
40
And I begged your talmidim that they might cast out the shed, and they were not able.
41
And in reply, Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach said, O perverse dor (generation) without emunah, until when will I be with you, and until when will I put up with you? Bring your ben here. [DEVARIM 32:5]
42
Even now as the bocher was approaching Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach, the shed threw him down and convulsed him. But Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach rebuked the shed (the ruach hatumah) and gave refuah to the bocher, and gave him back to his abba.
43
And all were amazed at the gedulat Hashem. And while all were beholding the peledike way he was doing everything, he said to his talmidim,
44
Let these divrei Hashem lodge in your ears: for the Ben HaAdam [Moshiach, DANIEL 7:13] is about to be delivered into the hands of Bnei Adam.
45
But they had no binah concerning this dvar of Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach, and it had been nistar from them in order that they might not have binah, and they were afraid to ask him about this dvar.
46
Now an argument arose among his talmidim, as to who would be the greatest.
47
And Moshiach, having perceived the machshavah of their levavot, took a yeled into his arms and stood the yeled next to him.
48
And Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach said to them, Whoever receives this yeled in ha-Shem of me [Moshiach], is mekabel (receiving, accepting) of me. And whoever is mekabel of me is mekabel of the One [Hashem] who sent me. For whoever is the least among all of you, this one is the Gadol.
