And behold, a man from the multitude cried, saying, Teacher, I beseech thee to look upon my son; for he is mine only child:

And they were all astonished at the majesty of God. But while all were marvelling at all the things which he did, he said unto his disciples,
44 Keep ye these sayings in your ears; for the Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men.
Let these words sink into your ears: for the Son of man shall be delivered up into the hands of men.

46 Then a dispute sprang up among them, which of them should be the greatest.
And there arose a reasoning among them, which of them was the greatest.
47 But Jesus knowing the reasoning of their hearts, took a little boy, and set him by his side,
But when Jesus saw the reasoning of their heart, he took a little child, and set him by his side,

54 And when the disciples James and John saw it, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven and destroy them, just as Elias did?
And when his disciples James and John saw [this], they said, Lord, wilt thou that we bid fire to come down from heaven, and consume them?
55 And turning to them, he reproved them, and said, Ye know not what spirit ye are of:
But he turned, and rebuked them.
56 for the Son of man came not to destroy men’s lives, but to preserve them. And he proceeded to another village.
And they went to another village.
57 And it came to pass, as they were walking on the road, a certain person said to him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.
