Mark 9:33-50

33ThenG2532 they cameG2064 toG1519 CapernaumG2584. While Jesus wasG1096 inG1722 theG3588 houseG3614, He askedG1905 themG846, “WhatG5101 were you discussingG1260 onG1722 theG3588 wayG3598?” 34ButG1161 they were silentG4623, forG1063 onG1722 theG3588 wayG3598 they had been arguing aboutG1256G4314G240 whichG5101 of them was the greatestG3173.

35

Sitting downG2523, Jesus calledG5455 theG3588 TwelveG1427 andG2532 saidG3004, “IfG1487 anyoneG5100 wantsG2309 to beG1510 firstG4413, he must beG1510 the lastG2078 of allG3956 andG2532 the servantG1249 of allG3956.”

36ThenG2532 He hadG2983G2476 a little child standG3813 amongG1722G3319 themG846. Taking the child in His armsG1723G846, He saidG2036 to themG846, 37“WhoeverG3739G302 welcomesG1209 oneG1520 of theseG5108 little childrenG3813 inG1909 MyG1473 nameG3686 welcomesG1209 MeG1473, andG2532 whoeverG3739G302 welcomesG1209 MeG1473 welcomesG1209 not onlyG3756 MeG1473, butG235 theG3588 One who sentG649 MeG1473.”

JohnG2491 saidG5346 to HimG846, “TeacherG1320, we sawG3708 someoneG5100 elseG3739G3756G190G1473 driving outG1544 demonsG1140 inG1722 YourG4771 nameG3686, andG2532 we tried to stopG2967 himG846, becauseG3754G3756 he does not accompanyG190 usG1473.”

39“Do notG3361 stopG2967 himG846,” JesusG2424 repliedG2036. “ForG1063 no oneG3762 whoG3739 performsG4160 a miracleG1411 inG1909 MyG1473 nameG3686 canG1410 turn aroundG5035 andG2532 speak evil ofG2551 MeG1473. 40ForG1063 whoeverG3739 isG1510 notG3756 againstG2596 usG1473 isG1510 forG5228 usG1473. 41IndeedG1063, if anyoneG3739G302 givesG4222 youG4771 even a cupG4221 of waterG5204 becauseG3754 you bearG1510G1722 the nameG3686 of ChristG5547, trulyG281 I tellG3004 youG4771, he will never loseG3756G3361G622 hisG846 rewardG3408.

42ButG2532 if anyoneG3739G302 causesG4624 oneG1520 of theseG3778 little onesG3398 whoG3588 believeG4100 inG1519 Me to stumbleG1473, it would beG1510 betterG2570 for himG846 to haveG1487G3123 a largeG3684 millstoneG3458 hungG4029 aroundG4012 hisG846 neckG5137 andG2532 to be thrownG906 intoG1519 theG3588 seaG2281.

IfG1437 yourG4771 handG5495 causes you to sinG4624G4771, cut it offG609G846. It isG1510 betterG2570 for youG4771 to enterG1525G1519 lifeG2222 crippledG2948 thanG2228 to haveG2192 twoG1417 handsG5495 and goG565 intoG1519 hellG1067,1 intoG1519 theG3588 unquenchableG762 fireG4442.2 45IfG1437 yourG4771 footG4228 causes you to sinG4624G4771, cut it offG609G846. It isG1510 betterG2570 for youG4771 to enterG1525G1519 lifeG2222 lameG5560 thanG2228 to haveG2192 twoG1417 feetG4228 and be thrownG906 intoG1519 hellG1067.3 47AndG2532 ifG1437 yourG4771 eyeG3788 causes you to sinG4624G4771, pluck it outG1544G846. It isG1510 betterG2570 for youG4771 to enterG1525G1519 theG3588 kingdomG932 of GodG2316 with one eyeG3442 thanG2228 to haveG2192 twoG1417 eyesG3788 and be thrownG906 intoG1519 hellG1067, 48whereG3699 ‘theirG846 wormG4663 neverG3756 diesG5053, andG2532 theG3588 fireG4442 is never quenchedG3756G4570.’4

49ForG1063 everyoneG3956 will be saltedG233 with fireG4442.5

50

SaltG217 is goodG2570, butG1161 ifG1437 theG3588 saltG217 losesG1096 its saltinessG358, withG1722 whatG5101 will you seasonG741 itG846? HaveG2192 saltG217 amongG1722 yourselvesG1438, andG2532 be at peaceG1514 withG1722 one anotherG240.”
