38
And behold, a man of the company cried out, saying, Master, I beseech thee look upon my son: for he is my only child.
39
And lo, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth out; and it teareth him that he foameth, and bruising him, hardly departeth from 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 hither.
42
And as he was yet coming, the demon threw him down, and tore [him]. And 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 were all wondering at all things which Jesus did, he said to his disciples,
44
Let these sayings sink down into your ears: for the Son of man will be delivered into the hands of men.
45
But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them, that they perceived it not: and they feared to ask him concerning that saying.
46
Then there arose a reasoning among them, which of them should be greatest.
47
And Jesus perceiving the thought of their heart, took a child, and set him by him,
48
And said to them, Whoever shall receive this child in my name, receiveth me; and whoever shall receive me, receiveth him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, the same shall be great.
