Mark 9:33-50
331They cameG2064 to CapernaumG2746; and when He was in 2the houseG3614, He began to questionG1905 them: “WhatG5101 were you discussingG1260 on the wayG3598?” 34But they keptG4623 silentG4623, for on the wayG3598 3they had discussedG1256 with oneG240 anotherG240 whichG5101 of them was the greatestG3173. 35And sittingG2523 downG2523, He calledG5455 the twelveG1427 and saidG3004 to them, “4IfG1487 anyoneG5100 wantsG2309 to be firstG4413, he shall be lastG2078 of allG3956 and servantG1249 of allG3956.” 36And He tookG2983 a childG3813 and placedG2476 him amongG1722G3319 them, and takingG1723 him inG1723 His armsG1723, He saidG3004 to them, 37“5WhoeverG3739G302 6receivesG1209 7oneG1520 childG3813 likeG5108 thisG5108 in My nameG3686 8receivesG1209 Me; and whoeverG3739G302 9receivesG1209 Me does not 10receiveG1209 Me, but Him who sentG649 Me.”
3811JohnG2491 saidG5346 to Him, “TeacherG1320, we sawG3708 someoneG5100 castingG1544 outG1544 demonsG1140 in Your nameG3686, and 12we tried to preventG2967 him becauseG3754 he was not followingG190 us.” 39But JesusG2424 saidG3004, “Do not hinderG2967 him, for there is noG3762 oneG3762 whoG3739 will performG4160 a miracleG1411 in My nameG3686, and be ableG1410 soonG5035 afterward to speakG2551 evilG2551 ofG2551 Me. 4013For the one whoG3739 is not againstG2596 us is 14for us. 41For 15whoeverG3739G302 givesG4222 you a cupG4221 of waterG5204 toG4222 drinkG4222 16becauseG3754 of your nameG3686 as followers of ChristG5547, trulyG281 I sayG3004 to you, he shall by noG3364 meansG3364 loseG622 his rewardG3408.
42“17WhoeverG3739 causesG4624 oneG1520 of theseG3778 18littleG3398 onesG3398 who believeG4100 in Me toG4624 19sinG4624, it is betterG2570G3123 for him ifG1487 a heavyG3684 millstoneG3458 is hungG4029 aroundG4012 his neckG5137 and he 20is thrownG906 into the seaG2281. 43And 21ifG1437 your handG5495 causesG4624 you toG4624 sinG4624, cutG609 it offG609; it is betterG2570 for you to enterG1525 lifeG2222 maimedG2948, thanG2228, havingG2192 your twoG1417 handsG5495, to goG565 into 2223hellG1067, into the 24unquenchableG762 fireG4442.25 45And ifG1437 your footG4228 is causingG4624 you toG4624 sinG4624, cutG609 it offG609; it is betterG2570 for you to enterG1525 lifeG2222 withoutG5560 aG5560 footG5560, thanG2228, havingG2192 your twoG1417 feetG4228, to be thrownG906 into 2627hellG1067.28 47And 29ifG1437 your eyeG3788 is causingG4624 you toG4624 sinG4624, throwG1544 it awayG1544; it is betterG2570 for you to enterG1525 the kingdomG932 of GodG2316 with oneG3442 eyeG3442, thanG2228, havingG2192 twoG1417 eyesG3788, to be thrownG1544 into 3031hellG1067, 4832whereG3699 their wormG4663 does not dieG5053, and 33the fireG4442 is not extinguishedG4570. 49For everyoneG3956 will be saltedG233 with fireG4442. 50SaltG217 is goodG2570; but 34ifG1437 the saltG217 becomesG1096 unsaltyG358, with whatG5101 will you 35makeG741 it saltyG741 again? 36HaveG2192 saltG217 in yourselvesG1438, and 37beG1514 atG1514 peaceG1514 with oneG240 anotherG240.”
