31 For he taught his disciples, and told them, that the Son of man would be delivered into the hands of men, and they would kill him, and after he had been killed, he would rise again on the third day.

38 And John said, "Teacher! we have seen a man who casts out demons in Thy name, and does not follow us; and they forbade him, because he does not follow us.

42 And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it would be better for him if they hung a millstone around his neck, and cast him into the sea.

43 And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than to go with two hands into hell, into the unquenchable fire,

44 where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
