Mark 9:19

John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible · John Gill (1697–1771) · Public Domain

He answereth him,.... The father of the child, and who is included in the reproof afterwards given, for his unbelief, and taking part with the Scribes against his disciples; though the Vulgate Latin, Arabic, Persic, and Ethiopic versions, read, "them"; meaning not his disciples, but the Scribes and Pharisees, with the father of the child: and saith,O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you?

how long shall I suffer you?
