The Greek word for "unbelieving" is "ἄπιστος" (apistos), which denotes a lack of faith or trust. In the context of the Gospels, faith is a central theme, and Jesus often emphasizes its importance in receiving God's blessings and understanding His teachings. The term "perverse" comes from the Greek "διεστραμμένη" (diestrammenē), meaning twisted or distorted. Historically, this reflects the spiritual state of the people who, despite witnessing Jesus' miracles and teachings, still struggled with disbelief and moral corruption. This phrase echoes the Old Testament prophets who often rebuked Israel for their lack of faithfulness to God. Jesus replied How long must I remain with you and put up with you?
