Luke 9:36-42 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

36. After the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. They fell silent and did not at that time tell anyone what they had seen.

37. On the next day, when they came down from the mountain, a large crowd met him.

38. There was a man in the crowd who cried out, “Teacher, I beg you, look at my son; he is my only child.

39. For a spirit seizes him and he suddenly screams and it convulses him until he foams at the mouth; it releases him only with difficulty, wearing him out.

40. I begged your disciples to cast it out but they could not.”

41. Jesus said in reply, “O faithless and perverse generation, how long will I be with you and endure you? Bring your son here.”

42. As he was coming forward, the demon threw him to the ground in a convulsion; but Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, healed the boy, and returned him to his father.
