4 And whatsoever house all of you enter into, there abide, and thence depart.

5 And whosoever will not receive you, when all of you go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them.
And as many as will not receive you, when departing from that city, also shake off the dust from your feet for a testimony against them.

And the day began to decline, and the twelve having come near, they said to him, Send the multitude away, so that, after going into the villages and fields around, they may rest and find provision, because we are here in a desolate place.
13 But he said unto them, Give all of you them to eat. And they said, We have no more but five loaves and two fishes; except we should go and buy food for all this people.

For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever may lose his life because of me, this man will save it.
25 For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?
For what is a man benefited, having gained the whole world, but having lost or having forfeited himself?
26 For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, (logos) of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy angels.
For whoever may be ashamed of me and of my words, the Son of man will be ashamed of this man when he comes in his glory, and of the Father, and of the holy agents.

And behold, a man from the crowd cried out, saying, Teacher, I beseech thee to look upon my son, because he is the only begotten to me.
39 And, lo, a spirit (pneuma) takes him, and he suddenly cries out; and it tears him that he foams again, and bruising him hardly departs from him.
And lo, a spirit seizes him, and he suddenly cries out, and it convulses him with foaming. And it departs from him difficultly, injuring him.
40 And I besought your disciples to cast him out; and they could not.

And they were all amazed at the majesty of God. But while all were wondering at all the things which Jesus did, he said to his disciples,
44 Let these sayings (logos) sink down into your ears: for the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men.

But they did not understand this saying, and it was concealed from them, so that they did not perceive it. And they were afraid to ask him about this saying.
46 Then there arose a reasoning among them, which of them should be greatest.
But a thought entered among them, which of them may be greater.
47 And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took a child, and set him by him,
But having perceived the thought of their heart, having taken a child, Jesus stood it beside him,
48 And said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this child in my name receives me: and whosoever shall receive me receives him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, the same shall be great.
and he said to them, Whoever may receive this child in my name receives me, and whoever may receive me receives him who sent me, for he who exists smaller among you all, this man will be great.
49 And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in your name; and we forbad him, because he follows not with us.

50 And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against us is for us.
But Jesus said to him, Do not forbid, for he who is not against us is for us.

54 And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, will you that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elijah did?
And his disciples James and John having seen, they said, Lord, do thou want that we should call fire to come down from the sky, and consume them, as also Elijah did?
55 But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, All of you know not what manner of spirit (pneuma) all of you are of.
But having turned around, he rebuked them, and said, Ye do not know what kind of spirit ye are.
56 For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. And they went to another village.

But Jesus said to him, Leave the dead to bury their own dead, but thou, after departing, proclaim the kingdom of God.
61 And another also said, Lord, I will follow you; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house.
And also another said, I will follow thee, Lord, but first allow me to bid farewell to those in my house.
62 And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.
