38
And, behold, a man of the multitude cried out, saying, Master, I beseech thee, look upon my son, for he is my only child.
39
And, behold, a spirit takes him, and he suddenly cries out; and it throws him into convulsions with foaming, and with difficulty it departs from him, bruising him.
40
And I besought thy disciples to cast him out, and they could not.
41
And Jesus answering said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you and suffer you? Bring thy son here.
42
And as he was yet a coming, the demon threw him down into convulsions; but Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit and healed the child and delivered him again to his father.
43
And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. But while they all wondered at all
the things which Jesus did, he said unto his disciples,
44
Let these words sink down into your ears, for the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men.
45
But they did not understand this word, and it was hid from them that they should not understand, and they feared to ask him regarding this.
46
Then there arose a dispute among them, which of them should be
the greatest.
47
But Jesus, seeing the thoughts of their heart, took a child and set him by him,
48
and said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this child in my name receives me, and whosoever shall receive me receives him that sent me; for he that is least among you all, the same shall be great.
