''...O faithless and perverse generation, how long am I to be with you and bear with you..'' Jesus' statement above was addressed to
the Pharisees because of their hypocrisy
the Jews because of their unbelif
His own people because they did not give Him honour
His disciples because they colud not heal
Explanation
This statement is recorded in Luke 9:41 (RSV) and other Synoptic Gospels (Matthew 17:17, Mark 9:19).
- It was spoken by Jesus after His disciples failed to heal a demon-possessed boy brought by his father.
- The father complained to Jesus that the disciples could not cast out the demon.
- In response, Jesus expressed frustration at their lack of faith and spiritual power, calling them a "faithless and perverse generation."
- He then proceeded to heal the boy Himself.
Since this rebuke was directed at His disciples for their inability to perform the healing, the correct answer is D. His disciples because they could not heal.
