Tree Of Life Version

Luke 9:42-50 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

42. And while the boy was still approaching Yeshua, the demon knocked him down to the ground and threw him into convulsions. But Yeshua rebuked the unclean spirit, healed the boy, and restored him to his father.

43. And all were amazed at the mighty power of God. But as everyone was marveling at all He was doing, He said to His disciples,

44. “Put these words into your ears: the Son of Man is about to be delivered into the hands of men.”

45. But they did not understand this statement; it was yet concealed from them so they could not grasp it. And they were afraid to ask Him about this statement.

46. Now a dispute began between the disciples as to who might be the greatest among them.

47. But Yeshua, knowing the reasoning of their heart, took a child and set him by His side.

48. He said to them, “Whoever welcomes this child in My name, welcomes Me. And whoever welcomes Me, welcomes the One who sent Me. The one who is the least among all of you is the one who is great.”

49. John replied, “Master, we saw someone driving out demons in Your name, and we tried to stop him because he doesn’t follow along with us.”

50. Yeshua said to him, “Do not stop him, for he who is not against you is for you.”
