Luke 9:31-50 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

31. who having appeared in esteem, spoke of His death which He was about to complete at Yerushalayim.

32. But Kĕpha and those with him were heavy with sleep. And having awakened, they saw His esteem and the two men standing with Him.

33. And it came to be, as they were parting from Him, Kĕpha said to יהושע, “Master, it is good for us to be here. And let us make three booths: one for You, and one for Mosheh, and one for Ěliyahu,” not knowing what he said.

34. And as he was saying this, a cloud came and overshadowed them. And they were afraid as they entered the cloud.

35. And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is My Son, the Beloved. Hear Him!”

36. And when the voice had spoken, יהושע was found alone. And they were silent, and reported to no one in those days any of what they had seen.

37. And it came to be on the next day, when they came down from the mountain, that a large crowd met Him.

38. And see, a man from the crowd cried out, saying, “Teacher, I beg You, look at my son, for he is my only child.

39. “And see, a spirit seizes him, and he suddenly cries out, and it convulses him, with foaming, and scarcely leaves him, bruising him.

40. “And I begged Your taught ones to cast it out, but they were unable.”

41. And יהושע answering, said, “O generation, unbelieving and perverse, how long shall I be with you and put up with you? Bring your son here.”

42. And as he was still coming, the demon threw him down in convulsions. And יהושע rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and gave him back to his father.

43. And they were all amazed at the greatness of Elohim. And while all were marvelling at all that יהושע did, He said to His taught ones,

44. “Lay up in your ears these words, for the Son of Aḏam is about to be delivered into the hands of men.”

45. But they did not understand this saying, and it was veiled from them so that they did not perceive it. And they were afraid to ask Him about this saying.

46. And a reasoning arose among them, who might be the greater of them.

47. And יהושע, having seen the reasoning of their heart, took a little child and placed him by His side,

48. and said to them, “Whoever receives this little child in My Name receives Me. And whoever receives Me receives Him who sent Me. For he who is least among you all, he shall be great.”

49. And Yoḥanan answering, said, “Master, we saw someone casting out demons in Your Name, and we forbade him because he does not follow with us.”

50. But יהושע said to him, “Do not forbid him, for he who is not against us is for us.”
