tires from him. (40)And I besought thy
disciples that they would cast him out, and they could not. (41)Then
Jesus answering, said, O faithless and perverse generation! how long
shall I be with you, how long shall I bear with you? bring hither thy
son. (42)And while he was yet approaching the devil threw him down, and
violently convulsed him. Then Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and
cured the child; and restored him to his father. (43)And they were all
struck with amazement at the mighty power of God. And while they were
all wondering at the things which Jesus did, he said to his disciples,
(44)Keep ye these sayings in your ears; for the Son of man shall be
betrayed into the hands of men. (45)And they understood not that
declaration, and it was hid from them, that they should not comprehend
its meaning: and they were afraid to ask him concerning that saying.

(46)Then a dispute sprang up among them, which of them should be the

advancing entered into a Samaritan village, to make preparation for
him. (53)And they would not admit him, because his face was directed to
Jerusalem. (54)And when the disciples James and John saw it, they said,
Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven and
destroy them, just as Elias did? (55)And turning to them, he reproved
them, and said, Ye know not what spirit ye are of: (56)for the Son of
man came not to destroy men's lives, but to preserve them. And he
proceeded to another village. (57)And it came to pass, as they were
walking on the road, a certain person said to him, Lord, I will follow
thee whithersoever thou goest. (58)And Jesus Said to him, The foxes
