Mark 9:30-37

Death and Resurrection Foretold

30 ¹From there they went out and began to go through Galilee, and He did not want anyone to know about it.

31 For He was teaching His disciples and telling them, "²The Son of Man is to be delivered into the hands of men, and they will kill Him; and when He has been killed, He will rise three days later."

32 But ³they did not understand this statement, and they were afraid to ask Him.

33 ⁴They came to Capernaum; and when He was in ⁵the house, He began to question them, "What were you discussing on the way?"

34 But they kept silent, for on the way ⁶they had discussed with one another which of them was the greatest.

35 Sitting down, He called the twelve and said to them, "⁷If anyone wants to be first, he shall be last of all and servant of all."

36 Taking a child, He set him before * them, and taking him in His arms, He said to them,

37 "⁸Whoever * receives one child like this in My name receives Me; and whoever * receives Me does not receive Me, but Him who sent Me."
