Luke 9:37 Cross References - Twentieth_Century

³⁷ The next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a great crowd met Jesus.

¹⁴ When they came to the crowd, a man came up to Jesus, and, kneeling down before him, said: ¹⁵ "Master, take pity on my son, for he is epileptic and suffers terribly; indeed, he often falls into the fire and into the water; ¹⁶ I brought him to your disciples, but they could not cure him." ¹⁷ "O faithless and perverse generation!" Jesus exclaimed, "how long must I be among you? how long must I have patience with you? Bring the boy here to me." ¹⁸ Then Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of the boy; and he was cured from that very hour. ¹⁹ Afterwards the disciples came up to Jesus, and asked him privately: "Why was it that we could not drive it out?" ²⁰ "Because you have so little faith," he answered; "for, I tell you, if your faith were only like a mustard-seed, you could say to this mountain 'Move from this place to that!' and it would be moved; and nothing would be impossible to you."

¹⁴ When they came to the other disciples, they saw a great crowd round them, and some Teachers of the Law arguing with them. ¹⁵ But, as soon as they saw Jesus, all the people, in great astonishment, ran up and greeted him. ¹⁶ "What are you arguing about with them?" Jesus asked. ¹⁷ "Teacher," answered a man in the crowd, "I brought my son to see you, as he has a dumb spirit in him; ¹⁸ And, wherever it seizes him, it dashes him down; he foams at the mouth and grinds his teeth, and he is pining away. I asked your disciples to drive the spirit out, but they failed." ¹⁹ "O faithless generation!" exclaimed Jesus. "How long must I be with you? how long must I have patience with you? Bring the boy to me." ²⁰ They brought him to Jesus; but no sooner did the boy see him than the spirit threw him into convulsions; and he fell on the ground, and rolled about, foaming at the mouth. ²¹ "How long has he been like this?" Jesus asked the boy's father. ²² "From his childhood," he answered; "and it has often thrown him into fire and into water to put an end to his life; but, if you can possibly do anything, take pity on us, and help us!" ²³ Why say 'possibly'?" Jesus replied. "Everything is possible for one who has faith." ²⁴ The boy's father immediately cried out: "I have faith; help my want of faith!" ²⁵ But, when Jesus saw that a crowd was quickly collecting, he rebuked the foul spirit: "Deaf and dumb spirit, it is I who command you. Come out from him and never enter him again." ²⁶ With a loud cry the spirit threw the boy into repeated convulsions, and then came out from him. The boy looked like a corpse, so that most of them said that he was dead. ²⁷ But Jesus took his hand, and lifted him; and he stood up. ²⁸ When Jesus had gone indoors, his disciples asked him privately: "Why could not we drive it out?" ²⁹ "A spirit of this kind," he said, "can be driven out only by prayer."
