New Testament

Mark 9:26-36 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

26. But Jesus, taking him by the hand, lifted him up. And he arose.

27. And when he had entered into the house, his disciples questioned him privately, "Why were we unable to cast him out?"

28. And he said to them, "This kind is able to be expelled by nothing other than prayer and fasting."

29. And setting out from there, they passed through Galilee. And he intended that no one know about it.

30. Then he taught his disciples, and he said to them, "For the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men, and they will kill him, and having been killed, on the third day he will rise again."

31. But they did not understand the word. And they were afraid to question him.

32. And they went to Capernaum. And when they were in the house, he questioned them, "What did you discuss on the way?"

33. But they were silent. For indeed, on the way, they had disputed among themselves as to which of them was greater.

34. And sitting down, he called the twelve, and he said to them, "If anyone wants to be first, he shall be the last of all and the minister of all."

35. And taking a child, he set him in their midst. And when he had embraced him, he said to them:

36. "Whoever receives one such child in my name, receives me. And whoever receives me, receives not me, but him who sent me."
