Context of Mark 9:44
42“But whoever causes one of these little ones who trust in Me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a heavy millstone put around his neck and to be thrown into the sea!” 43“And if your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off! It is better for you to enter into life crippled than, having two hands, to go to Gehenna, into the unquenchable fire. [footnote: Verses omitted; some mss. read: where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.] 45And if your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off! It’s better for you to enter life lame than, having your two feet, to be thrown into Gehenna. 46[footnote: Verses omitted; some mss. read: where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.]
