New Testament

Luke 9:35-49 World Messianic Bible (WMB)

35. A voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him!”

36. When the voice came, Yeshua was found alone. They were silent, and told no one in those days any of the things which they had seen.

37. On the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a great multitude met him.

38. Behold, a man from the crowd called out, saying, “Rabbi, I beg you to look at my son, for he is my only child.

39. Behold, a spirit takes him, he suddenly cries out, and it convulses him so that he foams, and it hardly departs from him, bruising him severely.

40. I begged your disciples to cast it out, and they couldn’t.”

41. Yeshua answered, “Faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here.”

42. While he was still coming, the demon threw him down and convulsed him violently. But Yeshua rebuked the unclean spirit, healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.

43. They were all astonished at the majesty of God.But while all were marveling at all the things which Yeshua did, he said to his disciples,

44. “Let these words sink into your ears, for the Son of Man will be delivered up into the hands of men.”

45. But they didn’t understand this saying. It was concealed from them, that they should not perceive it, and they were afraid to ask him about this saying.

46. An argument arose among them about which of them was the greatest.

47. Yeshua, perceiving the reasoning of their hearts, took a little child, and set him by his side,

48. and said to them, “Whoever receives this little child in my name receives me. Whoever receives me receives him who sent me. For whoever is least among you all, this one will be great.”

49. Yochanan answered, “Master, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him, because he doesn’t follow with us.”
