New Testament in a Year

³⁷ ¶ And it came to pass, that on the next day, when they were come down from the mountain, many people met him.

³⁸ And, behold, a man of the multitude cried out, saying, Master, I beseech thee, look upon my son, for he is my only child.

³⁹ And, behold, a spirit takes him, and he suddenly cries out; and it throws him into convulsions with foaming, and with difficulty it departs from him, bruising him.

⁴⁰ And I besought thy disciples to cast him out, and they could not.

⁴¹ And Jesus answering said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you and suffer you? Bring thy son here.

⁴² And as he was yet a coming, the demon threw him down into convulsions; but Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit and healed the child and delivered him again to his father.

⁴³ ¶ And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. But while they all wondered at all the things which Jesus did, he said unto his disciples,

⁴⁴ Let these words sink down into your ears, for the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men.

⁴⁵ But they did not understand this word, and it was hid from them that they should not understand, and they feared to ask him regarding this.

⁴⁶ Then there arose a dispute among them, which of them should be the greatest.

⁴⁷ But Jesus, seeing the thoughts of their heart, took a child and set him by 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.

⁴⁹ And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out demons in thy name; and we forbade him, because he does not follow with us.

⁵⁰ And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not, for he that is not against us is for us.

⁵¹ ¶ And it came to pass when the time was come that he should be received up, he steadfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem

⁵² and sent messengers before his face; and they went and entered into a village of the Samaritans to make ready for him.

⁵³ And they did not receive him because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem.

⁵⁴ And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven and consume them, even as Elijah did?

⁵⁵ But he turned and rebuked them and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of.

⁵⁶ For the Son of man is not come to lose men’s souls, but to save them. And they went to another village.

⁵⁷ ¶ And it came to pass that as they went in the way, a certain man said unto him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.

⁵⁸ And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the heaven have nests, but the Son of man has not where to lay his head.

⁵⁹ And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father.

⁶⁰ Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead, but go thou and declare the kingdom of God.

⁶¹ And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee, but let me first go bid farewell those who are at home at my house.

⁶² And Jesus said unto him, No one having put his hand to the plough and looking back is fit for the kingdom of God.
