Jesus Talks About His Death
30Then Jesus and his followers left that place. They went through Galilee. Jesus
did not want the people to know where they were. 31Jesus wanted to teach his followers
alone. Jesus said to them, "The Son of Man* will be given to people that will kill
him. After three days, he will rise from death." 32But the followers did not understand
what Jesus meant. And they were afraid to ask him what he meant.
Jesus Tells Who Is the Greatest
33Jesus and his followers went to Capernaum.* They went into a house. Then Jesus
said to his followers, "I heard you arguing on the road today. What were you arguing
about?" 34But the followers did not answer, because their argument on the road was
about which one of them was the greatest. 35Jesus sat down and called the twelve
apostles* to him. Jesus said, "If any person wants to be the most important, then
he must make all other people more important than himself. That person must serve
all other people." 36Then Jesus took a small child. Jesus stood the child before
the followers. Jesus held the child in his arms and said, 37"If a person accepts
children like these in my name, then that person is also accepting me. And if a
person accepts me, then that person is also accepting the One (God) that sent me."
Any Person Not Against Us Is for Us
38Then John said, "Teacher, we saw a man using your name to force demons* out of
a person. He is not one of us. So we told him to stop, because he does not belong
to our group." 39Jesus said, "Don't stop him. Any person that uses my name to do
powerful things will not say bad things about me. 40The person that is not against
us is with us. 41I tell you the truth. If a person helps you by giving you a drink
of water because you belong to the Christ,* then that person will truly get his
reward.
Jesus Warns About Causes of Sin
42"If one of these little children believes in me, and another person causes that
child to sin, then it will be very bad for that person. It would be better for that
person to have a millstone* tied around his neck and be drowned in the sea. 43If
your hand makes you sin, cut it off. It is better for you to lose part of your
body but have life forever. That is much better than to have two hands and go to
hell. In that place the fire never stops. 44* 45If your foot makes you sin, cut
it off. It is better for you to lose part of your body but have life forever. That
is much better than to have two feet and be thrown into hell. 46* 47If your eye
makes you sin, take it out. It is better for you to have only one eye but have life
forever. That is much better than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell. 48The
worms that eat the people in hell never die. In hell the fire is never stopped.
49Every person will be punished* with fire. 50"Salt is good. But if the salt loses
its salty taste, then you can't make it salty again. So, be full of goodness. And
have peace with each other."
