They say unto him, Twelve. 20 And when the seven among four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up?

Verily I say unto you, There shall no sign be given to this generation. f13 And he left them, and entering into the ship again, departed to the other side. 14 T Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread, neither had they in the ship with them more than one loaf. d 15 And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the 28 And they answered, John the Baptist : but some say, Elias; and others, One of the prophets. 29 And he saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?

And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him. s 3 And his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow; so as no fuller on earth can white them. 4 And there appeared unto them Elias, with Moses: and they were talking with Jesus. 5 And Peter answered and said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias. 6 For he wist not what to say: for they were sore afraid. p 33 But when he had turned about, and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee t* 7 And there was a cloud that behind me, Satan: for thou sa- overshadowed them: and a voice vourest not the things that be of came out of the cloud, saying, This God, but the things that be of is my beloved Son: hear him. men. d* 34 ¶ And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. 35 For whosoever will save his life, shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it. 36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? 37 Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? t 38 Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me, and of my words, in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.

Bring him unto me. 20 And they brought him unto him and when he : saw him, straightway the spirit tare him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed, foaming. 21 And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him? And he said, Of a child. c 22 And oft-times it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters to destroy him but if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us. t 23 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. c 24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief. 25 When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him. m 26 And the spirit cried, and rent him sore, and came out of him: and he was as one dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead. 27 But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose. 28 And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast him out? and said unto them, The Son of man is delivered into the hands of men, and they shall kill him; and after that he is killed, he shall rise the third day. 32 But they understood not that saying, and were afraid to ask him. f33 And he came to Capernaum: and being in the house he asked them, What was it that ye disputed among yourselves by the way? 34 But they held their peace : for by the way they had disputed among themselves, who should be the greatest. d 35 And he sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto them, If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all. 36 And he took a child, and set him in the midst of them: and when he had taken him in his arms, he said unto them, d 37 Whosoever shall receive one of such children in my name, receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me. f38 T And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us; and we forbade him, because he followeth not us. t 39 But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name that can lightly speak evil of me. 40 For he that is not against us, is on our part. d 41 For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward. t 42 And whosoever shall offend | hearts, he wrote you this precept. one of these little ones that believe 6 But from the beginning of the 7 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; 8 And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. d9 What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. in me, it is better for him that a creation, God made them male and millstone were hanged about his female. neck, and he were cast into the sea. d 43 And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched : t 44 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. d 45 And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched t 46 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. d 47 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes, to be cast into hell-fire: 48 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. t 49 For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt. d 50 Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith will ye season it?

P 24 And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God! 25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. 26 And they were astonished out of measure, saying among themselves, Who then can be saved? t 27 And Jesus looking upon them, saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible. d 28 ¶ Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee. went before them: and they were amazed; and as they followed, they were afraid.

And Jesus said unto them, Ye shall indeed drink of the cup that I drink of; and with the baptism that I am baptized withal shall ye be baptized: 40 But to sit on my right hand and on my left hand, is not mine to give; but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared. c 41 And when the ten heard it, they began to be much displeased with James and John. 29 And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's, b 30 But he shall receive a hundred-fold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mo-p 42 But Jesus called them to him, thers, and children, and lands, and saith unto them, Ye know that with persecutions; and in the world to come, eternal life. 31 But many that are first shall be last; and the last first. 32 T And they were in the way, going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles, exercise lordship over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them. d 43 But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will be great |
