Amplified Bible

Luke 9:34-45 Amplified Bible (AMP)

34. But even as he was saying this, a cloud came and began to overshadow them, and they were seized with alarm and struck with fear as they entered into the cloud.

35. Then there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is My Son, My Chosen One or My Beloved; listen to and yield to and obey Him!

36. And when the voice had died away, Jesus was found there alone. And they kept still, and told no one at that time any of these things that they had seen.

37. Now it occurred the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, that a great multitude met Him.

38. And behold, a man from the crowd shouted out, Master, I implore You to look at my son, for he is my only child;

39. And behold, a spirit seizes him and suddenly he cries out; it convulses him so that he foams at the mouth; and he is sorely shattered, and it will scarcely leave him.

40. And I implored Your disciples to drive it out, but they could not.

41. Jesus answered, O [faithless ones] unbelieving and without trust in God, a perverse (wayward, crooked and warped) generation! Until when and how long am I to be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here [to Me].

42. And even while he was coming, the demon threw him down and [completely] convulsed him. But Jesus censured and severely rebuked the unclean spirit and healed the child and restored him to his father.

43. And all were astounded at the evidence of God's mighty power and His majesty and magnificence. But [while] they were all marveling at everything Jesus was doing, He said to His disciples,

44. Let these words sink into your ears: the Son of Man is about to be delivered into the hands of men [whose conduct is opposed to God].

45. However, they did not comprehend this saying; and it was kept hidden from them, so that they should not grasp it and understand, and they were afraid to ask Him about the statement.
