Mark 9:28-47

²⁸And when hee was come into the house, his disciples asked him secretly, Why could not we cast him out?

²⁹And he saide vnto them, This kinde can by no other meanes come foorth, but by prayer and fasting.

³⁰And they departed thence, and went together through Galile, and hee would not that any should haue knowen it.

³¹For he taught his disciples, and saide vnto them, The Sonne of man shalbe deliuered into the handes of men, and they shall kill him, but after that he is killed, he shall rise againe the third day.

³²But they vnderstoode not that saying, and were afraide to aske him.

³³After, he came to Capernaum: and when he was in the house, he asked them, What was it that ye disputed among you by the way?

³⁴And they helde their peace: for by the way they reasoned among themselues, who should bee the chiefest.

³⁵And he sate downe, and called the twelue, and said to them, If any man desire to be first, the same shalbe last of all, and seruant vnto all.

³⁶And he tooke a litle childe, and set him in the middes of them, and tooke him in his armes, and sayd vnto them,

³⁷Whosoeuer shall receiue one of such litle children in my Name, receiueth me: and whosoeuer receiueth mee, receiueth not me, but him that sent me.

³⁸Then Iohn answered him, saying, Master, we sawe one casting out deuils by thy Name, which followeth not vs, and we forbade him, because he followeth vs not.

³⁹But Iesus sayd, Forbid him not: for there is no man that can doe a miracle by my Name, that can lightly speake euill of me.

⁴⁰For whosoeuer is not against vs, is on our part.

⁴¹And whosoeuer shall giue you a cup of water to drinke for my Names sake, because ye belong to Christ, verely I say vnto you, he shall not lose his rewarde.

⁴²And whosoeuer shall offend one of these litle ones, that beleeue in me, it were better for him rather, that a milstone were hanged about his necke, and that he were cast into the sea.

⁴³Wherefore, if thine hand cause thee to offend, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life, maimed, then hauing two hands, to goe into hell, into the fire that neuer shalbe quenched,

⁴⁴Where their worme dyeth not, and the fire neuer goeth out.

⁴⁵Likewise, if thy foote cause thee to offend, cut it off: it is better for thee to go halt into life, then hauing two feete, to be cast into hell, into the fire that neuer shalbe quenched,

⁴⁶Where their worme dyeth not, and the fire neuer goeth out.

⁴⁷And if thine eye cause thee to offende, plucke it out: it is better for thee to goe into the kingdome of God with one eye, then hauing two eyes, to be cast into hell fire,
