28 And when he had entered into an house, his disciples asked him privily, Why might not we cast him out? (And when he had entered into a house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could we not throw him out?)
29 And he said to them, This kind in nothing may go out or This kind may not go out in anything, no but in prayer and fasting. (And he said to them, This kind cannot be made to go out, except by prayer and fasting.)
30 And they went from thence, and went forth into Galilee; and they would not, that any man knew, or and he would not, that any man know, (or and he did not want, that anyone knew that he was there).
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 (meaning of the) word(s), and dreaded to ask him (or and feared 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? (or What did ye discuss on the way?)
34 And they were still; for they disputed among themselves in the way, who of them should be the greatest. (And they were silent; for they had argued among themselves on the way, who of them was the greatest.)
35 And he sat, and called the twelve, and said to them, If any man will be the first among you, he shall be the last of all, and the minister or the servant of all.
36 And he took a child, and set him in the middle or 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, he receiveth me; and whoever receiveth me, he receiveth not me alone, but him that sent me.
38 John answered to him, and said, Master, we saw one casting out fiends in thy name, which (pur)sueth not us, and we have forbidden him. (John answered to him, and said, Teacher, we saw one throwing out devils and demons in thy name, and he followeth not us, and we have forbidden him.)
39 And Jesus said, Do not ye forbid him; for there is no man that doeth virtue in my name, and may soon speak evil of me. (And Jesus said, Do not forbid him; for there is no one who doeth a work of power, or a miracle, in my name, and can soon after speak evil about me.)
40 He that is not against us, is for us.
41 And whoever giveth to you (even) a cup of cold water to drink in my name, for ye be of Christ, truly I say to you, he shall not lose his meed. (And whoever giveth to you even just a cup of cold water to drink in my name, for ye belong to the Messiah, I tell you the truth, he shall not lose his reward.)
42 And whoever shall cause to stumble one of these little (ones) that believe in me, it were better to him that a millstone were done about his neck, and he were cast into the sea. (And whoever shall cause one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him if a millstone was put around his neck, and he was thrown into the sea.)
43 And if thine hand cause thee to stumble, cut it away; it is better to thee to enter feeble into life, (or it is better for thee to enter into (eternal) life weak, or maimed), than (to) have two hands, and (to) go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched or into (the) fire unquenchable,
44 where the worm of them dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
45 And if thy foot cause thee to stumble, cut it off; it is better to thee to enter crooked into everlasting life, (or it is better for thee to enter into eternal life bent, or lame), than (to) have two feet, and (to) be sent into hell of fire or into hellfire, that never shall be quenched,
46 where the worm of them dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
47 That if thine eye cause thee to stumble, cast it out; it is better to thee to enter goggle-eyed into the realm of God (or it is better for thee to enter into the Kingdom of God with one eye), than (to) have two eyes, and (to) be sent into hell of fire, +or than having two eyes, to be sent into hellfire,
