Christ foretelleth his own death, &c.
S. MARK.
He warneth his disciples to avoid offences.

believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.

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.

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 [1] And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast him out?

29 And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.

30 ¶ And they departed thence, and passed through Galilee; and he would not that any man should know it.

31 [2] 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.

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

33[3] 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.

35 And he sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto them, [4] If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all.

36 And [5] 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,

37 Whosoever shall receive one of such children in my name, receiveth me: and [6] whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me.

38[7] And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us.

39 But Jesus said, Forbid him not: [8] for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me.

40 For [9] he that is not against us is on our part.

41 [10] 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.

42 [11] 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.

43 [12] And if thy hand ‖‖ Or, cause thee to offend: and so ver. 45, 47. 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:

44 [13] Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

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:

46 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

47 And if thine eye ‖‖ Or, cause thee to offend. 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.

49 For every one shall be salted with fire, [14] and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt.

50 [15] Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith will ye season it? [16] Have salt in yourselves, and [17] have peace one with another.

CHAP.X.

1 Christ teacheth in Judea: 2 answereth the Pharisees' question concerning divorce: 13 blesseth the children that were brought unto him: 17 instructeth a rich man how to attain eternal life: 23 sheweth how hard it is for the rich to enter into the kingdom of God: 28 promiseth rewards to all who have forsaken ought for his gospel's sake: 32 foretelleth his own death and resurrection: 35 putteth by the ambitious suit of the sons of Zebedee; and checketh the indignation of the other disciples thereat: 46 giveth sight to blind Bartimeus.

AND [18] he arose from thence, and cometh into the coasts of Judea by the farther side of Jordan: and the people resort unto him again; and, as he was wont, he taught them again.

2[19] And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? tempting him.

3 And he answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you?

4 And they said, [20] Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away.
