and behold, the spirit seizes him, and he suddenly cries out; and he convulses him with foam, and scarcely departs from him, contorting him.

And they did not understand this word, and it was hidden from them, in order that they should not understand it: and they were afraid to ask Him concerning this word.

47 Jesus, perceiving the reasoning of their hearts, took a little child, and set him by his side,
And Jesus seeing the dispute of their heart, taking a little child, He placed it by Himself,

And the disciples James and John, seeing, said, Lord, do you wish that we may command fire to descend from heaven and consume them?
55 But he turned and rebuked them, “You don’t know of what kind of spirit you are.
And He turning, rebuked them.
56 For the Son of Man didn’t come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them.” They went to another village.

And another said to Him, Lord, I will follow thee; but first permit me to bid adieu to those at my own home.
62 But Jesus said to him, “No one, having put his hand to the plow and looking back, is fit for God’s Kingdom.”
And Jesus said to him, No one putting his hand to the plow, and looking back, is worthy of the kingdom of God.
