And when the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. And they kept silence and told no one in those days anything of what they had seen.
37
On the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a great crowd met him.
38
And behold, a man from the crowd cried, "Teacher, I beg you to look upon my son, for he is my only child;
39
and behold, a spirit seizes him, and he suddenly cries out; it convulses him till he foams, and shatters him, and will hardly leave him.
40
And I begged your disciples to cast it out, but they could not."
41
Jesus answered, "O faithless and perverse generation, how long am I to be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here."
42
While he was coming, the demon tore him and convulsed him. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.
43
And all were astonished at the majesty of God. But while they were all marveling at everything he did, he said to his disciples,
44
"Let these words sink into your ears; for the Son of man is to be delivered into the hands of men."
45
But they did not understand this saying, and it was concealed from them, that they should not perceive it; and they were afraid to ask him about this saying.
46
And an argument arose among them as to which of them was the greatest.
