11 And they were questioning Him, saying that the scribes say that Elijah must come first.
And they asked him, saying, Why say the scribes that Elijah must first come?
12 And He answering said to them, “Elijah indeed, having come first, restores all things; and how has it been written concerning the Son of Man, that He may suffer many things, and be set at nothing?
And he answered and told them, Elijah verily comes first, and restores all things; and how it is written of the Son of man, that he must suffer many things, and be set at nothing.

19 And He answering him, said, “O generation unbelieving, until when will I be with you? Until when will I suffer you? Bring him to Me”;
He answers him, and says, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me.
20 and they brought him to Him, and he having seen Him, immediately the spirit convulsed him, and he, having fallen on the earth, was wallowing—foaming.

But they understood not that saying, (rhema) and were afraid to ask him.
33 And He came to Capernaum, and being in the house, He was questioning them, “What were you reasoning in the way among yourselves?”

And he took a child, and set him in the midst of them: and when he had taken him in his arms, he said unto them,
37 “Whoever may receive one of such children in My Name, receives Me, and whoever may receive Me, does not receive Me, but Him who sent Me.”

39 And Jesus said, “Do not forbid him, for there is no one who will do a mighty work in My Name, and will be readily able to speak evil of Me:
But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me.
40 for he who is not against us is for us;

42 and whoever may cause to stumble one of the little ones believing in Me, better is it for him if a millstone is hanged around his neck, and he has been cast into the sea.

And if your hand offend you, cut it off: it is better for you to enter into life physically disabled, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: (Geenna )

Where their worm dies not, and the fire is not quenched.

Where their worm dies not, and the fire is not quenched.
49 for everyone will be salted with fire, and every sacrifice will be salted with salt.
For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt.
50 The salt [is] good, but if the salt may become saltless, in what will you season [it]? Have in yourselves salt, and have peace in one another.”
Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his saltiness, wherewith will all of you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another.
