Mark 9:28-38

28 And when he had entered into an house, his disciples asked him privily, Why might not we cast him out?
29 And he said to them, This kind in nothing may go out [This kind may not go out in any thing], but in prayer and fasting.
30 And they went from thence, and went forth into Galilee; and they would not, that any man knew [and he would not that any man know].
31 And he taught his disciples, and said to them, For man's Son shall be betrayed into the hands of men, and they shall slay him, and he slain shall rise again on the third day.
32 And they knew not the word, and dreaded to ask him.
33 And they came to Capernaum. And when they were in the house, he asked them, What treated ye in the way?
34 And they were still; for they disputed among them[selves] in the way, who of them should be [the] greatest.
35 And he sat, and called the twelve, and said to them [and saith to them], If any man will be the first among you, he shall be the last of all, and the minister of all [and minister, or servant, of all].
36 And he took a child, and set him in the middle of them [in the midst of them]; and when he had embraced him, he said to them,
37 Whoever receiveth one of such children in my name [Whoever shall receive one of such children in my name], he receiveth me; and whoever receiveth me, he receiveth not me alone, but him that sent me.
38 John answered to him, and said [saying], Master, we saw one casting out fiends in thy name, which followeth not us, and we have forbidden him.
