40:017:016 And I brought him to thy disciples, and
they could not cure
him.
40:017:017 Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless
and perverse
generation,
how long shall I be with you? how long shall I
suffer
you? bring him hither to me.
40:017:018 And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed
out of him: and
the
child was cured from that very hour.
40:017:019 Then came the disciples to Jesus apart,
and said, Why could
not
we cast him out?
40:017:020 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your
unbelief: for verily
I
say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard
seed,
ye
shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder
place;
and
it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto
you.
40:017:021 Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.
40:017:022 And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus
said unto them, The Son
of
man shall be betrayed into the hands of men:
40:017:023 And they shall kill him, and the third
day he shall be raised
again.
And they were exceeding sorry.
40:017:024 And when they were come to Capernaum, they
that received
tribute
money came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master
pay
tribute?
40:017:025 He saith, Yes. And when he was come
into the house, Jesus
prevented
him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do
the
kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their
own
children,
or of strangers?
40:017:026 Peter saith unto him, Of strangers.
Jesus saith unto him, Then
are
the children free.
40:017:027 Notwithstanding, lest we should offend
them, go thou to the
sea,
and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh
up;
and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find
a
piece
of money: that take, and give unto them for me
and thee.
40:018:001 At the same time came the disciples unto
Jesus, saying, Who is
the
greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
40:018:002 And Jesus called a little child unto him,
and set him in the
midst
of them,
40:018:003 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except
ye be converted, and
become
as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom
of
heaven.
40:018:004 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself
as this little child,
the
same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
40:018:005 And whoso shall receive one such little
child in my name
receiveth
me.
40:018:006 But whoso shall offend one of these little
ones which believe
in
me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged
about
his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of
the
sea.
