JESUS HEALS A DEMON-POSSESSED BOY
Key verse: 42b,43a
NIV
Jesus Heals a Demon-Possessed Boy(A)
37 The next day, when they came down from the mountain, a large crowd met him. 38 A man in the crowd called out, “Teacher, I beg you to look at my son, for he is my only child. 39 A spirit seizes him and he suddenly screams; it throws him into convulsions so that he foams at the mouth. It scarcely ever leaves him and is destroying him. 40 I begged your disciples to drive it out, but they could not.”
41 “You unbelieving and perverse generation,”(B) Jesus replied, “how long shall I stay with you and put up with you? Bring your son here.”
42 Even while the boy was coming, the demon threw him to the ground in a convulsion. But Jesus rebuked the impure spirit, healed the boy and gave him back to his father. 43 And they were all amazed at the greatness of God.
Jesus Predicts His Death a Second Time
While everyone was marveling at all that Jesus did, he said to his disciples, 44 “Listen carefully to what I am about to tell you: The Son of Man is going to be delivered into the hands of men.”(C) 45 But they did not understand what this meant. It was hidden from them, so that they did not grasp it,(D) and they were afraid to ask him about it.

Jesus Heals a Boy with an Unclean Spirit
37 (A)On the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a great crowd met him. 38 And behold, a man from the crowd cried out, “Teacher, I beg you to look at my son, for (B)he is my only child. 39 And behold, a spirit seizes him, and he suddenly cries out. It convulses him so that he foams at the mouth, and shatters him, and will hardly leave him. 40 And I begged your disciples to cast it out, but (C)they could not.” 41 Jesus answered, “O (D)faithless and twisted generation, (E)how long am I to be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here.” 42 While he was coming, the demon threw him to the ground and convulsed him. But Jesus (F)rebuked the unclean spirit and healed the boy, and (G)gave him back to his father. 43 And all were astonished at (H)the majesty of God.
Jesus Again Foretells His Death
(I)But while they were all marveling at everything he was doing, Jesus[a] said (J)to his disciples, 44 “Let these words sink into your ears: (K)The Son of Man is about to be delivered into the hands of men.” 45 (L)But they did not understand this saying, and (M)it was concealed from them, so that they might not perceive it. And they were afraid to ask him about this saying.

1. O unbelieving generation! (37-43a)
A large crowd was waiting for Jesus. A desperate father, whose only son was demon-possessed, called out to him for help. The demon had made the boy's life unbearable, and the father's heart was full of anguish, fear and despair. He had begged the 9 disciples to drive out the demon, but they could not. What did Jesus say? Read verse 41. Demons get the upper hand in men's lives because of unbelief. Jesus saw the powerless disciples and the crying father as representatives of an unbelieving and crooked generation. He said, 'Bring your son here.' And he healed him.
2. Listen carefully (43b-45)
The unbelieving and perverse generation would betray and kill the one who came from God to serve and save them. Jesus' disciples should hold Jesus' words in their hearts, but they were afraid.
Prayer: Lord, help me to hold your gospel in my heart so that I may not be melted into the unbelieving generation.
One Word: O unbelieving generation
