Luke 9:37-42. THE HEALING OFTHE DEMONIAC BOY. See on Matthew 17:14-21; Mark 9:14-29. Luke is briefest, Mark fullest.

For he is mine only child (Luke 9:38). Peculiar to Luke.

And he suddenly crieth out (Luke 9:39) i.e.. the child . The rapid change of subject, first the spirit, then the child, then the spirit again, shows the intimate connection of possessed and possessing.

Bruising him grievously. Comp. Mark 9:26: ‘rent him sore.'
