His son was possessed by a spirit which spasmodically made the child cry out and then tore him with the result that foam came from his mouth. And this happened more often than not and caused him great distress. But despite their efforts the spirit resisted the disciples and they could not cast it out. That it was not just epilepsy comes out in what follows. A mere disease would not have resulted in failure for the disciples, nor would Jesus have spoken it as requiring special power.<\/p>\n<p>&lsquo;He is my only child.&rsquo; The man&rsquo;s only child was continuing to suffer because of the failure of the disciples. <span class='bible'>Luk 9:41<\/span> reveals how God&rsquo;s only Son was also suffering at their hands.<\/p>\n<h4 align='right'><i><b>Fuente: Commentary Series on the Bible by Peter Pett<\/b><\/i><\/h4>\n<p> <strong> 38.<\/strong> ] <strong> <\/strong> <strong> . <\/strong> <strong>  <\/strong> is peculiar to Luke.<\/p>\n<h4 align='right'><i><b>Fuente: Henry Alford&#8217;s Greek Testament<\/b><\/i><\/h4>\n<p> <span class='bible'>Luk 9:38<\/span> .  , to look with pity, as in <span class='bible'>Luk 1:48<\/span> .  , only son, as in <span class='bible'>Luk 7:12<\/span> , <span class='bible'>Luk 8:42<\/span> . to bring out the benevolence of the miracle.<\/p>\n<h4 align='right'><i><b>Fuente: The Expositors Greek Testament by Robertson<\/b><\/i><\/h4>\n<p>Master = Teacher.

He probably wanted his readers to understand clearly that it resulted from demonic influence (Luk 9:42). Demons produced the symptoms of epilepsy in this boy, though not every case of epilepsy is the result of demon affliction, of course. Unfortunately through history some people have equated epilepsy with demon possession because of the similar symptoms. Doctor Luke described this boy&rsquo;s symptoms more fully than the other Gospel writers, and he alone mentioned that the boy was the only (Gr. <span style=\"font-style:italic\">monogenes<\/span>, cf. Luk 8:42; Joh 3:16) son of his father (Luk 9:38). The failure of the disciples (Luk 9:40, cf. 2Ki 4:31) set the stage for a great demonstration of Jesus&rsquo; unique power and authority (Luk 9:42).<\/p>\n<h4 align='right'><i><b>Fuente: Expository Notes of Dr. Constable (Old and New Testaments)<\/b><\/i><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>And, behold, a man of the company cried out, saying, Master, I beseech thee, look upon my son: for he is mine only child. 38. of the company ] Rather, from the crowd.
