Jesus of Nazareth, A Biography, by John Mark
Jesus Christ
And he said unto them, "This kind can come forth by nothing, but by
prayer and fasting."
And they departed thence, and passed through Galilee; and he would not
that any man should know it. For he taught his disciples, 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."
But they understood not that saying, and were afraid to ask him.
And he came to Capernaum: and being in the house he asked them, "What
was it that ye disputed among yourselves by the way?"
But they held their peace: for by the way they had disputed among
themselves, who should be the greatest. 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."
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:
"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."
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."
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. For he that is
not against us is on our part. 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. And whosoever shall offend one
of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a
millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.
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: where their worm dieth not, and the fire
is not quenched. 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: where their worm
dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. 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: where
their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. For every one
shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with
salt. Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith
will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with
another."
CHAPTER X
MASTER OF MEN BUT SERVANT OF ALL
And he arose from thence, and cometh into the coasts of Judaea by the
farther side of Jordan: and the people resort unto him again; and, as
he was wont, he taught them again. And the Pharisees came to him, and
asked him, "Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife?" tempting him.
