and whoever wants to be first among you must be the slave of all.

“Whoever welcomes one of these little children in my name welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me does not welcome me but the one who sent me.”

For whoever does the will of God is my brother and sister and mother.”

He said to them, “Wherever you enter a house, stay there until you leave the area.

So he told them, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her.

But it is not this way among you. Instead whoever wants to be great among you must be your servant,

But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven, but is guilty of an eternal sin”

For I tell you the truth, whoever gives you a cup of water because you bear Christ’s name will never lose his reward.

I tell you the truth, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child will never enter it.”

And if the Lord had not cut short those days, no one would be saved. But because of the elect, whom he chose, he has cut them short.

(Now the betrayer had given them a sign, saying, “The one I kiss is the man. Arrest him and lead him away under guard.”)

And wherever he would go – into villages, towns, or countryside – they would place the sick in the marketplaces, and would ask him if they could just touch the edge of his cloak, and all who touched it were healed.

If a place will not welcome you or listen to you, as you go out from there, shake the dust off your feet as a testimony against them.”

For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake and for the gospel will save it.

And he said to them, “I tell you the truth, there are some standing here who will not experience death before they see the kingdom of God come with power.”

“If anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a huge millstone tied around his neck and to be thrown into the sea.

David himself, by the Holy Spirit, said, ‘The Lord said to my lord, “Sit at my right hand, until I put your enemies under your feet.”’

I tell you the truth, if someone says to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him.
