1 At the Same time came the dis-
ciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the
greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
2 And Jesus called a little child
unto him, and Set him in the midst
of them,
3 And said, Verily I say unto you,
Except ye be converted, and become
as little children, ye shall not enter
into the kingdom of heaven.
4 Whosoever therefore shall hum-
ble himself as this little child, the
same is greatest in the kingdom of
heaven.
5 And whoso shall receive one such
little child in my name receiveth me.
6 But whoso shall offend one of
these little ones which believe in me,
it were better for him that a millstone
were hanged about his neck, and
that he were drowned in the depth
of the Sea.
7 Woe unto the world because of
offences! for it must needs be that
offences come; but woe to that man
by whom the offence cometh!
8 Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot
offend thee, cut them off, and cast
them from thee: it is better for thee
to enter into life halt or maimed,
rather than having two hands or two
feet to be cast into everlasting fire.
9 And if thine eye offend thee,
pluck it out, and cast it from thee:
it is better for thee to enter into life
with one eye, rather than having two
eyes to be cast into hell fire.
10 Take heed that ye despise not
one of these little ones; for I say un-
to you, That in heaven their angels
do always behold the face of my
Father which is in heaven.
11. For the Son of man is come to
save that which was lost.
12 How think ye? if a mam have
an hundred sheep, and one of them
be gone astray, doth he not leave the
ninety and nine, and goeth into the
mountains, and seeketh that which
is gone astray?
13 And if so be that he find it,
verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth
more of that sheep, than of the ninety
and nine which went not astray.
14 Even so it is mot the will of your
Father which is in heaven, that one
of these little ones should perish.

33 And he came to Capernaum: and being in
the house he asked them, What was it that ye
disputed among yourselves by the way?
34 But they held their peace: for by the way
they had disputed among themselves, who
should be the greatest.
35 And he sat down, and called the twelve,
and saith unto them, If any man desire to be
first, the same shall be last of all, and servant
of all.
36 And he took a child, and set him in the
midst of them: and when he had taken him in
his arms, he said unto them,
37 Whosoever shall receive one of such chil-
dren in my name, receiveth me: and whosoever
shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him
that sent me.
38 And John answered him, saying, Master,
we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and
he followeth mot us: and we forbad him, because
he followeth not us.
39 But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there
is no man which shall do a miracle in my
name, that can lightly speak evil of me.
40 For ho that is not against us is on our
part.
41 For whosoever shall give you a cup of
water to drink in my name, because ye belong
to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not
lose his reward.
42 And whosoever shall offend one of these
little ones that believe in me, it is better for
him that a millstone were hanged about his
neck, and he were cast into the sea.
43 And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it
is better for thee to enter into life maimed,
than having two hands to go into hell, into the
fire that never shall be quenched:
44 Where their worm dieth mot, and the fire
is not quenched.
45 And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is
better for thee to enter halt into life, than
having two feet to be cast into hell, into the
fire that never shall be quenched:
46 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire
is not quenched.
47 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out
: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom
of God with one eye, than having two eyes to
be cast into hell fire:
48 Where their worm dieth mot, and the fire
is not quenched.
49 For every one shall be salted with fire, and
very sacrifice shall be salted with salt.
50 Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his
saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt
in yourselves, and have peace one with another.

46. Then
there arose
a reason-
ing among
them, which
of them
should be
greatest.
47 And
Jesus, per-
ceiving the
thought of
their heart,
took a
child, and
set him by
him,
48 And
said unto
them, Who-
soever shall
receive this
child in my
name recei-
veth me:
and Whoso-
ever shall
receive me
receiveth
him that
sent me:
for he that
is least a-
mong you
all, the
same shall
be great.
49 And
John ans-
wered and
said, Mas-
ter, we saw
one casting
out devils in
thy name;
and we forbad
him, be-
cause he
followeth not
with us.
50 And
Jesus said
unto him,
Forbid him
mot: for he
that is not
against us
is for us.
