ISB ~ Luke 9 v41

perverse generation:An expression drawn from Deut 32:5, 20.

• These verses are part of the “Song of Moses”, in which Moses prophesied the future failures of Israel and indicted the people in advance for their faithlessness (Deut 32:1-43). Jesus directs these words to his own generation in order to link them with God’s wayward people through the ages. See note on Mt 12:45.
