SCRIPTURE

"And Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and bear with you? bring hither thy son." — Luke 9:41 (ASV)

How long shall I be with you and bear with you? (εως ποτε εσομα προς υμας κα ανεξομα υμων; ). Here the two questions of Mr 9:19 (only one in Mt 17:17) are combined in one sentence.

Bear with (ανεξομα, direct middle future) is, hold myself from you (ablative case υμων).

Faithless (απιστος) is disbelieving and perverse (διεστραμμενη, perfect passive participle of διαστρεφω), is twisted, turned, or torn in two.
