Spanish RVR 1909 (Más información sobre Biblia Reina Valera 1909)

Y como aun se acercaba, el demonio le derribó y despedazó: mas Jesús increpó al espíritu inmundo, y sanó al muchacho, y se lo volvió á su padre.

¿Qué significa esto?

In this verse from Luke's gospel, Jesus is on his way to heal a boy who has an evil spirit inside him. The devil tries to hurt the boy before Jesus gets there, but Jesus rebukes the demon and heals the child, giving him back to his father.

Explicado para niños

Imagine you're playing with your favorite toy when suddenly someone tries to snatch it away and break it. But then a superhero comes and stops that person from hurting your toy and gives it back to you. That's kind of what Jesus did here, but instead of a toy, he saved the boy from being hurt.

Contexto histórico

This verse was written by Luke, who was not one of the original disciples but compiled his gospel around 60-80 AD for a Roman audience. The story reflects the common belief in demons and healing miracles among both Jews and Greeks at that time.
