Mark 9:33–50

^33tAnd he came to Capernaum: and being in the house he asked them, What was it that ye ^udisputed ^wamong yourselves by the way? ³⁴But they held their peace: for by the way ^xthey had disputed among themselves, who should be the greatest. ³⁵And he sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto them, ^yIf any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and ^zservant of all. ³⁶And ^ahe took a child, and set him in the midst of them: and when ^ahe had taken him in his arms, he said unto them, ³⁷Whosoever shall receive one of such children in my name, receiveth me: and ^bwhosoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me.

^38cAnd John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and ^dwe forbad him, because he followeth not us. ³⁹But Jesus said, Forbid him not: ^efor there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me. ⁴⁰For ^fhe that is not against us is on our part. ⁴¹For ^gwhosoever 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. ⁴²And ^hwhosoever 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. ⁴³ⁱAnd 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 ^khell, into ^lthe fire that never shall be quenched: ⁴⁴where ^mtheir worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. ⁴⁵And ⁿif 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 ^khell, into ^lthe fire that never shall be quenched: ⁴⁶where ^mtheir worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. ^47oAnd 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 ^khell fire: ⁴⁸where ^mtheir worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. ⁴⁹For every one shall be salted with ^pfire, ^qand ^revery sacrifice shall be salted with salt. ^50sSalt is good: ^stbut if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith will you season it? ^uHave salt in yourselves, and ^xhave peace ^yone with another.
