And there came a cloud overshadowing them, and there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, 'This is My Son -- the Beloved, hear ye him;'

And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought unto thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit;

Many people told him to keep quiet, but he was crying out all the more, “Have mercy on me, Son of David!”

Having yet therefore one son, his wellbeloved, he sent him also last unto them, saying, They will reverence my son.
