2. Read verse 41. How did Jesus rebuke them? What does it mean by unbelieving and perverse generation? What do you think Jesus meant by “How long shall I stay with you and put up with you”?

3. Read verses 42-45. What did the demon do to the boy while he is coming? (42a) How did Jesus heal the boy? (42b) What is their response? (43a) What then did Jesus say to his disciples? (43b, 44) How did they respond? (45)
