Luke 9:37-42 Now it happened on the next day, after their having come down from the hill country (or: mountain), that a large crowd met up with Him.

JMNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ³⁷ Now it happened on the next day, after their having come down from the hill country (or: mountain), [that] a large crowd met up with Him. ³⁸ Then – look and consider [this]! – an adult man (male) shouted out from the crowd, by saying, "Teacher, I am now begging (urgently asking from my need) of You to look upon my son, because he is an only-begotten one for me, ³⁹ and look, a breath-effect (or: spirit; attitude) is periodically (or: habitually) taking hold of him, and unexpectedly he suddenly cries out, and it repeatedly convulses and tears him, accompanied with foam – and it is normally withdrawing and departing from him with hard labor, continuing to rub him [against things] and bruise him. ⁴⁰ And so I begged of Your disciples so that they would throw it out – and yet they had no power and were unable." ⁴¹ So Jesus, giving a discerning and decided answer, said, "O generation without trust or faith (or: unbelieving) and having been thoroughly twisted in two and fully turned (or: distorted into separate parts and perverted)! Until when shall I continue being facing toward, and focus upon, you people, and shall I Myself continue holding you up (or: holding up with you; or: = putting up with and tolerating you)? Bring your son over here to Me." ⁴² But while he is still approaching, the demon (Hellenistic concept and term: = animistic influence) burst forth [in] him (= tore and shattered his inner being) and then with [him] violently convulsed. So Jesus spoke a serious but respectful directive to the unclean breath-effect (or: unpruned attitude; or: = diseased spirit; = distorted life-force) and so healed the boy and gave him back to his father.
