Mark 9:32-43

³²And they knew not the (meaning of the) word(s), and dreaded to ask him (or and feared to ask him).

³³And 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?)

³⁴And 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.)

³⁵And 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.

³⁶And 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,

³⁷Whoever 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.

³⁸John 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.)

³⁹And 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.)

⁴⁰He that is not against us, is for us.

⁴¹And 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.)

⁴²And 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.)

⁴³And 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,
