| Mark 9 (NKJV™) | |
| 35 | And He sat down, called the twelve, and said to them, "If anyone desires to be first, he shall be last of all and servant of all." |
| 36 | Then He took a little child and set him in the midst of them. And when He had taken him in His arms, He said to them, |
| 37 | "Whoever receives one of these little children in My name receives Me; and whoever receives Me, receives not Me but Him who sent Me." |
| 38 | Now John answered Him, saying, "Teacher, we saw someone who does not follow us casting out demons in Your name, and we forbade him because he does not follow us." |
| 39 | But Jesus said, "Do not forbid him, for no one who works a miracle in My name can soon afterward speak evil of Me. |
| 40 | "For he who is not against us is on our side. |
| 41 | "For whoever gives you a cup of water to drink in My name, because you belong to Christ, assuredly, I say to you, he will by no means lose his reward. |
| 42 | "But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea. |
| 43 | "If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed, rather than having two hands, to go to hell, into the fire that shall never be quenched-- |
| 44 | "where 'Their worm does not die, And the fire is not quenched.' |
| 45 | "And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life lame, rather than having two feet, to be cast into hell, into the fire that shall never be quenched-- |
| 46 | "where 'Their worm does not die, And the fire is not quenched.' |
| 47 | "And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes, to be cast into hell fire-- |
| 48 | "where 'Their worm does not die, And the fire is not quenched.' |
| 49 | "For everyone will be seasoned with fire, and every sacrifice will be seasoned with salt. |
| 50 | "Salt is good, but if the salt loses its flavor, how will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace with one another." |
| Mark 10 (NKJV™) | |
| 1 | Then He arose from there and came to the region of Judea by the other side of the Jordan. And multitudes gathered to Him again, and as He was accustomed, He taught them again. |
| 2 | The Pharisees came and asked Him, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?" testing Him. |
| 3 | And He answered and said to them, "What did Moses command you?" |
| 4 | They said, "Moses permitted a man to write a certificate of divorce, and to dismiss her." |
| 5 | And Jesus answered and said to them, "Because of the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept. |
| 6 | "But from the beginning of the creation, God 'made them male and female.' |
| 7 | 'For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, |
| 8 | 'and the two shall become one flesh'; so then they are no longer two, but one flesh. |
| 9 | "Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate." |
| 10 | In the house His disciples also asked Him again about the same matter. |
| 11 | So He said to them, "Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her. |
| 12 | "And if a woman divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery." |
| 13 | Then they brought little children to Him, that He might touch them; but the disciples rebuked those who brought them. |
| 14 | But when Jesus saw it, He was greatly displeased and said to them, "Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God. |
| 15 | "Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it." |
| 16 | And He took them up in His arms, put His hands on them, and blessed them. |
