Mark 9:32-43

³²And they came to Capharnaum. And when they were in the house, he asked them: What did you treat of in the way?

³³But they held their peace, for in the way they had disputed among themselves, which of them should be the greatest.

³⁴And sitting down, he called the twelve, and saith to them: If any man desire to be first, he shall be the last of all, and the minister of all.

³⁵And taking a child, he set him in the midst of them. Whom when he had embraced, he saith to them:

³⁶Whosoever shall receive one such child as this in my name, receiveth me. And whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me.

³⁷John answered him, saying: Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, who followeth not us, and we forbade him.

³⁸But Jesus said: Do not forbid him. For there is no man that doth a miracle in my name, and can soon speak ill of me.

³⁹For he that is not against you, is for you.

⁴⁰For whosoever shall give you to drink a cup of water in my name, because you belong to Christ: amen I say to you, he shall not lose his reward.

⁴¹And whosoever shall scandalize one of these little ones that believe in me; it were better for him that a millstone were hanged around his neck, and he were cast into the sea.

⁴²And if thy hand scandalize thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life, maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into unquenchable fire:

⁴³Where there worm dieth not, and the fire is not extinguished.
