They went forth from there, and passed through the Galil. He didn't want anyone to know it.
31
For he taught his talmidim, and said to them, "The Son of Man is delivered up into the hands of men, and they will kill him; and when he is killed, on the third day he will rise again."
32
But they didn't understand the saying, and were afraid to ask him.
33
He came to Kafar-Nachum, and when he was in the house he asked them, "What were you arguing among yourselves on the way?"
34
But they were silent, for they had disputed one with another on the way about who was the greatest.
35
He sat down, and called the twelve; and he said to them, "If any man wants to be first, he shall be last of all, and servant of all."
36
He took a little child, and set him in the midst of them. Taking him in his arms, he said to them,
37
"Whoever receives one such little child in my name, receives me, and whoever receives me, doesn't receive me, but him who sent me."
38
Yochanan said to him, "Teacher, we saw someone who doesn't follow us casting out demons in your name; and we forbade him, because he doesn't follow us."
39
But Yeshua said, "Don't forbid him, for there is no one who will do a mighty work in my name, and be able quickly to speak evil of me.
40
For whoever is not against us is on our side.
41
For whoever will give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because you are Messiah's, most assuredly I tell you, he will in no way lose his reward.
42
Whoever will cause one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him if a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.
43
If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed, rather than having your two hands to go into Gehinnom, into the unquenchable fire,
44
'where their worm doesn't die, and the fire is not quenched.'
45
If your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life lame, rather than having your two feet to be cast into Gehinnom, into the fire that will never be quenched --
46
'where their worm doesn't die, and the fire is not quenched.'
47
If your eye causes you to stumble, cast it out. It is better for you to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the Gehinnom of fire,
48
'where their worm doesn't die, and the fire is not quenched.'
49
For everyone will be salted with fire, and every sacrifice will be seasoned with salt.
50
Salt is good, but if the salt has lost its saltiness, with what will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at shalom with one another."
