-### [Read the passage.](https://biblia.com/bible/esv/Lk9.37-45)
-
-While Jesus and His inner circle were up on the mountain, the rest of the
-disciples were staying in the town at it's base. When they return, they find a
-crowd waiting for them. From the crowd, a distraught father begs Jesus to help
-his son because the disciples weren't able to cast out the spirit that afflicts
-him.
-
-In response, Jesus expresses some frustration, which is a really weird thing to
-think about. It's not an emotion that feels…_comfortable_…to
-assign to the Sovereign Lord of all. But it is there in the text, and we have
-to deal with it as it is, and not as we'd like it or expect it to be. The
-question appears to be directed more at the crowd, or perhaps at the disciples,
-than at the father. All of these people have heard Jesus's teachings, but do
-not believe God's power is sufficient or necessary for their lives. Or
-something.
-
-Jesus tells them to bring the man's son to Him so that he can be healed. The
-boy has one last fit along the way, but Jesus casts out the spirit and all the
-people are "astonished". (_v. 43_) Were they astonished because they didn't
-really believe that the boy could be healed? That he was healed because all
-Jesus did was rebuke the demon causing the problems? What were they expecting?
-If this was their attitude, then Jesus's frustration is a bit more
-understandable.
-
-Immediately after this, Jesus plainly tells His disciples that He is going to
-be arrested, at the very least. But they don't understand what He means because
-God hides it from them until the proper time. Jesus needed no interference from
-well-meaning friends so that the plan of redemption would be completed as it
-should.
