Yeshua [Salvation] answered, “Faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here.”

They were all astonished at the majesty of God. But while all were marveling at all the things which Yeshua [Salvation] did, he said to his disciples,
44 As for you, let these words sink into your ears; for the Son of man is about to be delivered up into the hands of men.
“Let these words sink into your ears, for the Son of Man will be delivered up into the hands of men.”

48 and said to them, Whoever receiveth this child in my name, receiveth me; and whoever receiveth me, receiveth him who sent me. For he that is least among you all, he is great.
and said to them, “Whoever receives this little child in my name receives me. Whoever receives me receives him who sent me. For whoever is least among you all, this one will be great.”
49 And John answering said, Master, we saw one casting out demons in thy name, and we forbade him, because he doth not follow in our company.
John [Yah is gracious] answered, “Rabbi ·Teacher·, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him, because he does not follow with us.”
50 But Jesus said to him, Forbid him not; for he that is not against you is for you.

54 And the disciples James and John, on seeing it, said, Lord, wilt thou have us bid fire come down from heaven, and consume them?
When his disciples, James [Surplanter] and John [Yah is gracious], saw this, they said, “Lord, do you want us to command fire to come down from the sky, and destroy them, just as Elijah [My God Yah] did?”
55 But he turned and rebuked them.
But he turned and rebuked them, “You don’t know of what kind of spirit you are.
56 And they went to another village.

57 And as they were traveling on the way, one said to him, I will follow thee wherever thou goest.
As they went on the way, a certain man said to him, “I want to follow you wherever you go, Lord.”
