Contextual Overview

³⁷Now it happened on the next day, that when they came down from the mountain, a large crowd met Him. ³⁸And behold, a man from the crowd shouted, saying, "Teacher, I beg You to look at my son, for he is my only one, ³⁹and behold, a spirit seizes him, and he suddenly screams, and it throws him into a convulsion with foaming at the mouth, and only with difficulty does it leave him, mauling him as it leaves. ⁴⁰And I begged Your disciples to cast it out, and they could not." ⁴¹And Jesus answered and said, "You unbelieving and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you and put up with you? Bring your son here." ⁴²Now while he was still approaching, the demon slammed him to the ground and threw him into a convulsion. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit and healed the boy and gave him back to his father.
