Luke 9:37-45

Luke 9:37 a. Healing of the Demoniac Boy (Mark 9:14 *, Matthew 17:14 *). Lk. is careful to say this was on the next day. The child is again an only one (Luke 7:12; Luke 8:42). The Gr. word for dashed him down is one that was used by prize-fighters. With Luke 9:43 a cf. Luke 5:17; Luke 5:26.

Luke 9:43 b - Luke 9:45. Second Prediction of the Passion (Mark 9:30 *, Matthew 17:22 f.*). Lk. gives this at once, not during subsequent days in Galilee, and he makes it so much less definite that some scholars have thought it represents the earliest form of the prediction. There is no mention of resurrection here.

Luke 9:44. these words, i.e. the announcement that follows; for is better rendered namely. delivered up: i.e. by God, cf. Romans 8:32.
