Mark 9

30 Ref And they went forth from thence, and passed through Galilee; and he would not that any man should know it.

31 Ref For he taught his disciples, and said unto them, The Son of man is delivered up into the hands of men, and they shall kill him; and when he is killed, after three days he shall rise again.

32 Ref But they understood not the saying, and were afraid to ask him.

33 Ref And they came to Capernaum: and when he was in the house he asked them, What were ye reasoning on the way?

34 Ref But they held their peace: for they had disputed one with another on the way, who `was' the greatest.

35 Ref And he sat down, and called the twelve; and he saith unto them, If any man would be first, he shall be last of all, and servant of all.

36 Ref And he took a little child, and set him in the midst of them: and taking him in his arms, he said unto them,

37 Ref Whosoever shall receive one of such little children in my name, receiveth me: and whosoever receiveth me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me.

38 Ref John said unto him, Teacher, we saw one casting out demons in thy name; and we forbade him, because he followed not us.

39 Ref But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man who shall do a mighty work in my name, and be able quickly to speak evil of me.

40 Ref For he that is not against us is for us.

41 Ref For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink, because ye are Christ's, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.

42 Ref And whosoever shall cause one of these little ones that believe on me to stumble, it were better for him if a great millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.

43 Ref And if thy hand cause thee to stumble, cut it off: it is good for thee to enter into life maimed, rather than having thy two hands to go into hell, into the unquenchable fire.

44 `where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.'

45 Ref And if thy foot cause thee to stumble, cut it off: it is good for thee to enter into life halt, rather than having thy two feet to be cast into hell.

46 `where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.'

47 Ref And if thine eye cause thee to stumble, cast it out: it is good for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell;

48 Ref where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

49 Ref For every one shall be salted with fire.

50 Ref Salt is good: but if the salt have lost its saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace one with another.
