11 And they were questioning him, saying, that the scribes say that Elijah it behoveth to come first.
And they asked him, saying: Why then do the Pharisees and scribes say that Elias must come first?
12 And he answering said to them, 'Elijah indeed, having come first, doth restore all things; and how hath it been written concerning the Son of Man, that many things he may suffer, and be set at nought?
Who answering, said to them: Elias, when he shall come first, shall restore all things; and as it is written of the Son of man, that he must suffer many things and be despised.

19 And he answering him, said, 'O generation unbelieving, till when shall I be with you? till when shall I suffer you? bring him unto me;'

And he taught his disciple, and said to them: The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men, and they shall kill him; and after that he is killed, he shall rise again the third day.

But they understood not the word, and they were afraid to ask him.
33 And he came to Capernaum, and being in the house, he was questioning them, 'What were ye reasoning in the way among yourselves?'

39 And Jesus said, 'Forbid him not, for there is no one who shall do a mighty work in my name, and shall be able readily to speak evil of me:
But Jesus said: Do not forbid him. For there is no man that doth a miracle in my name, and can soon speak ill of me.

43 'And if thy hand may cause thee to stumble, cut it off; it is better for thee maimed to enter into the life, than having the two hands, to go away to the gehenna, to the fire — the unquenchable — (Geenna )
And if thy hand scandalize thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life, maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into unquenchable fire: (Geenna )

Where there worm dieth not, and the fire is not extinguished.

Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not extinguished.
47 And if thine eye may cause thee to stumble, cast it out; it is better for thee one-eyed to enter into the reign of God, than having two eyes, to be cast to the gehenna of the fire — (Geenna )

Where the worm dieth not, and the fire is not extinguished.
49 for every one with fire shall be salted, and every sacrifice with salt shall be salted.
For every one shall be salted with fire: and every victim shall be salted with salt.

Salt is good. But if the salt became unsavoury; wherewith will you season it? Have salt in you, and have peace among you.
