33 AND he came to Capernaum, and, being in a house, he asked them, "What were ye disputing about [among yourselves on the way?" 34 But they kept silence: for they had disputed among themselves, on the way, who should be greatest. 35 And setting down, he 25 Now Jesus seeing that a called the twelve, and said to crowd was running together, them, "If any one desire to be rebuked the impure spirit, say- first, he must be last of all, and ing to it, "Thou dumb and a servant of all." 36 And taking deaf spirit, I command thee, a little child, he set him in the Come out of him, and enter no midst of them: then holding more into him." 26 And cry-him in his arms, he said to them, 37" Whosoever shall receive one of such little children in my name, receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not only me, but him who sent me." arose. 38 Then John spake to him, 28 Now when Jesus was saying, "Master, we saw one come into a house, his disci-casting out demons in thy name, ples asked him privately, "Why and we forbade him. [because could not we cast him out?" 29 he followeth not us."] 39 But And he said to them, "This Jesus said, "Forbid him not: kind of power can by no means for there is none who worketh go forth, but by prayer and fast-a miracle in my name, who can ing." readily speak evil of me. 40 For he that is not against you, is for you. 41 For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye are Christ's, verily I tell you, he shall by no means lose his reward. 42 And whosoever shall insnare one of these lowly ones, who believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were put about his neck, and that he were cast into the sea. 43" And if thy hand insnare* have compassion on us, and help us." 23 And Jesus said to him, "If thou canst [believe?] All things are possible for him who believeth." 24 And immediately the father of the child crying out, said with tears, "I believe help thou mine unbelief." : ing out, and convulsing him greatly, it came out of him; and he was as one dead; so that many said, "He is dead." 27 But Jesus taking him by the hand, raised him up; and he 30 AND departing thence, they went through Galilee; and he was unwilling that any one should know it. 31 For he taught his disciples, and said to them, "The Son of man is about to be delivered up into the hands of men; and they will kill him; and being killed, he will arise on the third day." 32 But they understood not what he meant; and were afraid to ask him.

Then taking the twelve aside, he began to tell them the things which were about to befal him: 33" Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man 24 And the disciples were will be delivered up to the astonished at his words. But chief-priests, and to [the] Jesus speaking again, said to scribes; and they will condemn them, "Children, how difficult him to death, and will deliver is it for those who trust in rich-him up to the gentiles: 34 and es, to enter into the kingdom of they will scoff at him, and will God! 25 It is easier that a scourge him, and will spit on camel should go through [the] him, and will kill him and eye of a needle, than that a rich the third day he will be raised man should enter into the king- from the dead." dom of God." 26 And they were exceedingly amazed, saying among themselves, "Who then can be saved?" 27 And Jesus looking on them, said, "With men it is impossible, but not with God: [for with God all things are possible.] 35 AND James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to him, saying, "Teacher, we request that thou wouldst do for us whatsoever we shall ask." 36 And he said to them, "What do ye desire that I should do for you?" 37 Then they said to him, "Grant us that we may sit, one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left hand, in thy glory." 38 But Jesus said to them, "Ye know not what ye ask can ye drink of the cup of which I am to drink? and be baptized with the baptism with which I am to be baptized?" 39 And they said to him, "We can." And Jesus said to them, "Ye will drink indeed of the cup of which I am to drink; and will be baptized with the baptism with which I am to be baptized: 40 but, to sit on my right hand, and on my left hand, is not mine to give, except to those for whom it is prepared." reth, he began to cry out, and to say, "Jesus, thou son of David, have pity on me." 48 And many rebuked him, that he might be silent: but he cried out much louder, "Thou son of David, have pity on me." 49 And Jesus stopping, ordered him to be called: and they called the blind man, saying to him, "Be encouraged, rise; he calleth thee." 50 And casting away his mantle, he rose up, and went to Jesus. 51 And Jesus speaking, said to him, "What dost thou wish me to do for thee?" Then the blind man said to him, "Master, that I may receive my sight." 52 And Jesus said to him, "Go: thy faith hath restored thee." And immediately, he received his sight, and followed him on the road. 41 And the ten hearing this, began to be moved with indignation against James and John. 42 But Jesus, having called them together, said to them, "Ye know that those who rule over the gentiles have dominion over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them. 43 But it shall not be so among you: but whoso ever desireth to be great among you, must be your servant: 44 and whosoever of you, desireth to be chief, must be the slave of all. 45 For even the Son of man came not to be served, but to serve; and to give his life a ransom for many. CH. XI. 1 AND when they drew near to Jerusalem, being come as far as Bethphage, and Bethany, near the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples, and said to them, 2" Go into the town, over-against you: and immediately as ye enter into it, ye will find a colt tied, whereon no man ever sat: loose it, and bring it to me. S And if any one say to you, Why do ye this?' say, The Master hath need of it:' and immediately, he will send it hi46 AND they came to Jericho: ther." 4 And they went away, and on his going out of Jericho, and found a colt, tied by a door, with his disciples, and a great without, in a place where two crowd, blind Bartimeus, (that roads met; and they loosed it. is, the son of Timeus,) sat by 5 And some of those who the road, begging. 47 And hear-stood there, said to them, ing that it was Jesus of Naza- "What do ye, loosing the colt?"
