And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. But while they wondered every one at all the things which Jesus did, He said unto His disciples,
44

45

And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took a child and set him by Him,
48

53
But they did not receive Him, because His face was set as though He would go to Jerusalem.
