28. And after he had entered into the house, his disciples asked him privately, “Why were we not able to expel it?”
29. And he said to them, “This kind can come out by nothing except by prayer.”
30. And from there they went out and passed through Galilee. And he did not want anyone to know,
31. for he was teaching his disciples and was telling them, “The Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of men, and they will kill him. And when he is killed, after three days he will rise.”
32. But they did not understand the statement, and they were afraid to ask him.
33. And they came to Capernaum. And after he was in the house, he asked them, “What were you discussing on the way?”
34. But they were silent, because they had argued with one another on the way about who was greatest.
35. And he sat down and called the twelve and said to them, “If anyone wants to be first, he will be last of all and servant of all.”
36. And he took a young child and had him stand among them. And taking him in his arms, he said to them,
37. “Whoever welcomes one of the young children such as these in my name welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me does not welcome me, but the one who sent me.”
