WEB·Mark 10

¹He arose from there and came into the borders of Judea and beyond the Jordan. Multitudes came together to him again. As he usually did, he was again teaching them.

KJVAnd^G2547 he arose^G450^(G5631) from thence^G2547, and cometh^G2064^(G5736) into^G1519 the coasts^G3725 of Judaea^G2449 by^G1223 the farther side^G4008 of Jordan^G2446: and^G2532 the people^G3793 resort^G4848^(G5736) unto^G4314 him^G846 again^G3825; and^G2532, as^G5613 he was wont^G1486^(G5715), he taught^G1321^(G5707) them^G846 again^G3825.

² Pharisees came to him testing him, and asked him, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?”

KJVAnd^G2532 the Pharisees^G5330 came to him^G4334^(G5631), and asked^G1905^(G5656) him^G846, Is it^G1487 lawful^G1832^(G5748) for a man^G435 to put away^G630^(G5658) his wife^G1135? tempting^G3985^(G5723) him^G846.

³ He answered, “What did Moses command you?”

KJVAnd^G1161 he answered^G611^(G5679) and said^G2036^(G5627) unto them^G846, What^G5101 did Moses^G3475 command^G1781^(G5662) you^G5213?

⁴ They said, “Moses allowed a certificate of divorce to be written, and to divorce her.”

KJVAnd^G1161 they said^G2036^(G5627), Moses^G3475 suffered^G2010^(G5656) to write^G1125^(G5658) a bill^G975 of divorcement^G647, and^G2532 to put her away^G630^(G5658).

⁵ But Jesus said to them, “For your hardness of heart, he wrote you this commandment.

KJVAnd^G2532 Jesus^G2424 answered^G611^(G5679) and said^G2036^(G5627) unto them^G846, For^G4314 the hardness^G4641 of your^G5216 heart^G4641 he wrote^G1125^(G5656) you^G5213 this^G5026 precept^G1785.

⁶ But from the beginning of the creation, God made them male and female.

KJVBut^G1161 from^G575 the beginning^G746 of the creation^G2937 God^G2316 made^G4160^(G5656) them^G846 male^G730 and^G2532 female^G2338.

⁷ For this cause a man will leave his father and mother, and will join to his wife,

KJVFor this cause^G1752^G5127 shall^G2641 a man^G444 leave^G2641^(G5692) his^G846 father^G3962 and^G2532 mother^G3384, and^G2532 cleave^G4347^(G5701) to^G4314 his^G846 wife^G1135;

⁸ and the two will become one flesh, so that they are no longer two, but one flesh.

KJVAnd^G2532 they twain^G1417 shall be^G2071^(G5704) one^G1519^G3391 flesh^G4561: so then^G5620 they are^G1526^(G5748) no more^G3765 twain^G1417, but^G235 one^G3391 flesh^G4561.

⁹ What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate.”

KJVWhat^G3739 therefore^G3767 God^G2316 hath joined together^G4801^(G5656), let^G5563 not^G3361 man^G444 put asunder^G5563^(G5720).

¹⁰ In the house, his disciples asked him again about the same matter.

KJVAnd^G2532 in^G1722 the house^G3614 his^G846 disciples^G3101 asked^G1905^(G5656) him^G846 again^G3825 of^G4012 the same^G846 matter.

¹¹ He said to them, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her.

KJVAnd^G2532 he saith^G3004^(G5719) unto them^G846, Whosoever^G3739^G1437 shall put away^G630^(G5661) his^G846 wife^G1135, and^G2532 marry^G1060^(G5661) another^G243, committeth adultery^G3429^(G5736) against^G1909 her^G846.

¹² If a woman herself divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery.”

KJVAnd^G2532 if^G1437 a woman^G1135 shall put away^G630^(G5661) her^G846 husband^G435, and^G2532 be married^G1060^(G5686) to another^G243, she committeth adultery^G3429^(G5736).

¹³ They were bringing to him little children, that he should touch them, but the disciples rebuked those who were bringing them.

KJVAnd^G2532 they brought^G4374^(G5707) young children^G3813 to him^G846, that^G2443 he should touch^G680^(G5672) them^G846: and^G1161 his disciples^G3101 rebuked^G2008^(G5707) those that brought^G4374^(G5723) them.

¹⁴ But when Jesus saw it, he was moved with indignation and said to them, “Allow the little children to come to me! Don’t forbid them, for God’s Kingdom belongs to such as these.

KJVBut^G1161 when Jesus^G2424 saw^G1492^(G5631) it, he was much displeased^G23^(G5656), and^G2532 said^G2036^(G5627) unto them^G846, Suffer^G863^(G5628) the little children^G3813 to come^G2064^(G5738) unto^G4314 me^G3165, and^G2532 forbid^G2967^(G5720) them^G846 not^G3361: for^G1063 of such^G5108 is^G2076^(G5748) the kingdom^G932 of God^G2316.

¹⁵ Most certainly I tell you, whoever will not receive God’s Kingdom like a little child, he will in no way enter into it.”

KJVVerily^G281 I say^G3004^(G5719) unto you^G5213, Whosoever^G3739 shall^G1209 not^G3362 receive^G1209^(G5667) the kingdom^G932 of God^G2316 as^G5613 a little child^G3813, he shall^G1525 not^G3364 enter^G1525^(G5632) therein^G1519^G846.

¹⁶ He took them in his arms and blessed them, laying his hands on them.

KJVAnd^G2532 he took^G1723 them^G846 up in his arms^G1723^(G5666), put^G5087^(G5723) his hands^G5495 upon^G1909 them^G846, and blessed^G2127^(G5707) them^G846.

¹⁷ As he was going out into the way, one ran to him, knelt before him, and asked him, “Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?”

KJVAnd^G2532 when he was gone forth^G1607^(G5740) into^G1519 the way^G846^G3598, there came^G4370 one^G1520 running^G4370^(G5631), and^G2532 kneeled^G1120^(G5660) to him^G846, and asked^G1905^(G5707) him^G846, Good^G18 Master^G1320, what^G5101 shall I do^G4160^(G5661) that^G2443 I may inherit^G2816^(G5661) eternal^G166 life^G2222?

¹⁸ Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good except one—God.

KJVAnd^G1161 Jesus^G2424 said^G2036^(G5627) unto him^G846, Why^G5101 callest thou^G3004^(G5719) me^G3165 good^G18? there is none^G3762 good^G18 but^G1508 one^G1520, that is, God^G2316.

¹⁹ You know the commandments: ‘Do not murder,’ ‘Do not commit adultery,’ ‘Do not steal,’ ‘Do not give false testimony,’ ‘Do not defraud,’ ‘Honor your father and mother.’”

KJVThou knowest^G1492^(G5758) the commandments^G1785, Do^G3431 not^G3361 commit adultery^G3431^(G5661), Do^G5407 not^G3361 kill^G5407^(G5661), Do^G2813 not^G3361 steal^G2813^(G5661), Do^G5576 not^G3361 bear false witness^G5576^(G5661), Defraud^G650^(G5661) not^G3361, Honour^G5091^(G5720) thy^G4675 father^G3962 and^G2532 mother^G3384.

²⁰ He said to him, “Teacher, I have observed all these things from my youth.”

KJVAnd^G1161 he answered^G611^(G5679) and said^G2036^(G5627) unto him^G846, Master^G1320, all^G3956 these^G5023 have I observed^G5442^(G5668) from^G1537 my^G3450 youth^G3503.

²¹ Jesus looking at him loved him, and said to him, “One thing you lack. Go, sell whatever you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me, taking up the cross.”

KJVThen^G1161 Jesus^G2424 beholding^G1689^(G5660) him^G846 loved^G25^(G5656) him^G846, and^G2532 said^G2036^(G5627) unto him^G846, One thing^G1520 thou^G4671 lackest^G5302^(G5719): go thy way^G5217^(G5720), sell^G4453^(G5657) whatsoever^G3745 thou hast^G2192^(G5719), and^G2532 give^G1325^(G5628) to the poor^G4434, and^G2532 thou shalt have^G2192^(G5692) treasure^G2344 in^G1722 heaven^G3772: and^G2532 come^G1204^(G5773), take up^G142^(G5660) the cross^G4716, and follow^G190^(G5720) me^G3427.

²² But his face fell at that saying, and he went away sorrowful, for he was one who had great possessions.

KJVAnd^G1161 he was sad^G4768^(G5660) at^G1909 that saying^G3056, and went away^G565^(G5627) grieved^G3076^(G5746): for^G1063 he had^G2192^(G5723)^G2258^(G5713) great^G4183 possessions^G2933.

²³ Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How difficult it is for those who have riches to enter into God’s Kingdom!”

KJVAnd^G2532 Jesus^G2424 looked round about^G4017^(G5671), and saith^G3004^(G5719) unto his^G846 disciples^G3101, How^G4459 hardly^G1423 shall they that have^G2192^(G5723) riches^G5536 enter^G1525^(G5695) into^G1519 the kingdom^G932 of God^G2316!

²⁴ The disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus answered again, “Children, how hard it is for those who trust in riches to enter into God’s Kingdom!

KJVAnd^G1161 the disciples^G3101 were astonished^G2284^(G5712) at^G1909 his^G846 words^G3056. But^G1161 Jesus^G2424 answereth^G611^(G5679) again^G3825, and saith^G3004^(G5719) unto them^G846, Children^G5043, how^G4459 hard^G1422 is it^G2076^(G5748) for them that trust^G3982^(G5756) in^G1909 riches^G5536 to enter^G1525^(G5629) into^G1519 the kingdom^G932 of God^G2316!

²⁵ It is easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye than for a rich man to enter into God’s Kingdom.”

KJVIt is^G2076^(G5748) easier^G2123 for a camel^G2574 to go^G1525^(G5629)^(G5625)^G1330^(G5629) through^G1223 the eye^G5168 of a needle^G4476, than^G2228 for a rich man^G4145 to enter^G1525^(G5629) into^G1519 the kingdom^G932 of God^G2316.

²⁶ They were exceedingly astonished, saying to him, “Then who can be saved?”

KJVAnd^G1161 they were astonished^G1605^(G5712) out of measure^G4057, saying^G3004^(G5723) among^G4314 themselves^G1438,^G2532 Who^G5101 then can^G1410^(G5736) be saved^G4982^(G5683)?

²⁷ Jesus, looking at them, said, “With men it is impossible, but not with God, for all things are possible with God.”

KJVAnd^G1161 Jesus^G2424 looking upon^G1689^(G5660) them^G846 saith^G3004^(G5719), With^G3844 men^G444 it is impossible^G102, but^G235 not^G3756 with^G3844 God^G2316: for^G1063 with^G3844 God^G2316 all things^G3956 are^G2076^(G5748) possible^G1415.

²⁸ Peter began to tell him, “Behold, we have left all and have followed you.”

KJVThen^G2532 Peter^G4074 began^G756^(G5662) to say^G3004^(G5721) unto him^G846, Lo^G2400^(G5628), we^G2249 have left^G863^(G5656) all^G3956, and^G2532 have followed^G190^(G5656) thee^G4671.

²⁹ Jesus said, “Most certainly I tell you, there is no one who has left house, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or land, for my sake, and for the sake of the Good News,

KJVAnd^G1161 Jesus^G2424 answered^G611^(G5679) and said^G2036^(G5627), Verily^G281 I say^G3004^(G5719) unto you^G5213, There is^G2076^(G5748) no man^G3762 that^G3739 hath left^G863^(G5656) house^G3614, or^G2228 brethren^G80, or^G2228 sisters^G79, or^G2228 father^G3962, or^G2228 mother^G3384, or^G2228 wife^G1135, or^G2228 children^G5043, or^G2228 lands^G68, for my^G1700 sake^G1752, and^G2532 the gospel's^G2098,

³⁰ but he will receive one hundred times more now in this time: houses, brothers, sisters, mothers, children, and land, with persecutions; and in the age to come eternal life.

KJVBut^G3362 he shall receive^G2983^(G5632) an hundredfold^G1542 now^G3568 in^G1722 this^G5129 time^G2540, houses^G3614, and^G2532 brethren^G80, and^G2532 sisters^G79, and^G2532 mothers^G3384, and^G2532 children^G5043, and^G2532 lands^G68, with^G3326 persecutions^G1375; and^G2532 in^G1722 the world^G165 to come^G2064^(G5740) eternal^G166 life^G2222.

³¹ But many who are first will be last, and the last first.”

KJVBut^G1161 many^G4183 that are first^G4413 shall be^G2071^(G5704) last^G2078; and^G2532 the last^G2078 first^G4413.

³² They were on the way, going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus was going in front of them, and they were amazed; and those who followed were afraid. He again took the twelve, and began to tell them the things that were going to happen to him.

KJVAnd^G1161 they were^G2258^(G5713) in^G1722 the way^G3598 going up^G305^(G5723) to^G1519 Jerusalem^G2414; and^G2532 Jesus^G2424 went^G2258^(G5713) before^G4254^(G5723) them^G846: and^G2532 they were amazed^G2284^(G5712); and^G2532 as they followed^G190^(G5723), they were afraid^G5399^(G5711). And^G2532 he took^G3880^(G5631) again^G3825 the twelve^G1427, and began^G756^(G5662) to tell^G3004^(G5721) them^G846 what things should^G3195^(G5723) happen^G4819^(G5721) unto him^G846,

³³ “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem. The Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests and the scribes. They will condemn him to death, and will deliver him to the Gentiles.

KJVSaying,^G3754 Behold^G2400^(G5628), we go up^G305^(G5719) to^G1519 Jerusalem^G2414; and^G2532 the Son^G5207 of man^G444 shall be delivered^G3860^(G5701) unto the chief priests^G749, and^G2532 unto the scribes^G1122; and^G2532 they shall condemn^G2632^(G5692) him^G846 to death^G2288, and^G2532 shall deliver^G3860^(G5692) him^G846 to the Gentiles^G1484:

³⁴ They will mock him, spit on him, scourge him, and kill him. On the third day he will rise again.”

KJVAnd^G2532 they shall mock^G1702^(G5692) him^G846, and^G2532 shall scourge^G3146^(G5692) him^G846, and^G2532 shall spit upon^G1716^(G5692) him^G846, and^G2532 shall kill^G615^(G5692) him^G846: and^G2532 the third^G5154 day^G2250 he shall rise again^G450^(G5698).

³⁵ James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came near to him, saying, “Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we will ask.”

KJVAnd^G2532 James^G2385 and^G2532 John^G2491, the sons^G5207 of Zebedee^G2199, come^G4365^(G5736) unto him^G846, saying^G3004^(G5723), Master^G1320, we would^G2309^(G5719) that^G2443 thou shouldest do^G4160^(G5661) for us^G2254 whatsoever^G3739^G1437 we shall desire^G154^(G5661).

³⁶ He said to them, “What do you want me to do for you?”

KJVAnd^G1161 he said^G2036^(G5627) unto them^G846, What^G5101 would^G2309^(G5719) ye that I^G3165 should do^G4160^(G5658) for you^G5213?

³⁷ They said to him, “Grant to us that we may sit, one at your right hand and one at your left hand, in your glory.”

KJV^G1161 They said^G2036^(G5627) unto him^G846, Grant^G1325^(G5628) unto us^G2254 that^G2443 we may sit^G2523^(G5661), one^G1520 on^G1537 thy^G4675 right hand^G1188, and^G2532 the other^G1520 on^G1537 thy^G4675 left hand^G2176, in^G1722 thy^G4675 glory^G1391.

³⁸ But Jesus said to them, “You don’t know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?”

KJVBut^G1161 Jesus^G2424 said^G2036^(G5627) unto them^G846, Ye know^G1492^(G5758) not^G3756 what^G5101 ye ask^G154^(G5731): can ye^G1410^(G5736) drink^G4095^(G5629) of the cup^G4221 that^G3739 I^G1473 drink of^G4095^(G5719)? and^G2532 be baptized^G907^(G5743) with the baptism^G908 that^G3739 I^G1473 am baptized with^G907^(G5683)?

³⁹ They said to him, “We are able.” Jesus said to them, “You shall indeed drink the cup that I drink, and you shall be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with;

KJVAnd^G1161 they said^G2036^(G5627) unto him^G846, We can^G1410^(G5736). And^G1161 Jesus^G2424 said^G2036^(G5627) unto them^G846, Ye shall^G4095 indeed^G3303 drink^G4095^(G5719) of the cup^G4221 that^G3739 I^G1473 drink of^G4095^(G5695); and^G2532 with the baptism^G908 that^G3739 I^G1473 am baptized withal^G907^(G5743) shall ye be baptized^G907^(G5701):

⁴⁰ but to sit at my right hand and at my left hand is not mine to give, but for whom it has been prepared.”

KJVBut^G1161 to sit^G2523^(G5658) on^G1537 my^G3450 right hand^G1188 and^G2532 on^G1537 my^G3450 left hand^G2176 is^G2076^(G5748) not^G3756 mine^G1699 to give^G1325^(G5629); but^G235 it shall be given to them for whom^G3739 it is prepared^G2090^(G5769).

⁴¹ When the ten heard it, they began to be indignant toward James and John.

KJVAnd^G2532 when the ten^G1176 heard^G191^(G5660) it, they began^G756^(G5662) to be much displeased^G23^(G5721) with^G4012 James^G2385 and^G2532 John^G2491.

⁴² Jesus summoned them and said to them, “You know that they who are recognized as rulers over the nations lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them.

KJVBut^G1161 Jesus^G2424 called^G4341^(G5666) them^G846 to him, and saith^G3004^(G5719) unto them^G846, Ye know^G1492^(G5758) that^G3754 they which are accounted^G1380^(G5723) to rule^G757^(G5721) over the Gentiles^G1484 exercise lordship^G2634^(G5719) over them^G846; and^G2532 their^G846 great ones^G3173 exercise authority^G2715^(G5719) upon them^G846.

⁴³ But it shall not be so among you, but whoever wants to become great among you shall be your servant.

KJVBut^G1161 so^G3779 shall it^G2071 not^G3756 be^G2071^(G5704) among^G1722 you^G5213: but^G235 whosoever^G3739^G1437 will^G2309^(G5725) be^G1096^(G5635) great^G3173 among^G1722 you^G5213, shall be^G2071^(G5704) your^G5216 minister^G1249:

⁴⁴ Whoever of you wants to become first among you shall be bondservant of all.

KJVAnd^G2532 whosoever^G3739^G302 of you^G5216 will^G2309^(G5725) be^G1096^(G5635) the chiefest^G4413, shall be^G2071^(G5704) servant^G1401 of all^G3956.

¹⁸ and wherever it seizes him, it throws him down; and he foams at the mouth, grinds his teeth, and becomes rigid. I asked your disciples to cast it out, and they weren’t able.”

KJVHe answereth^G611^(G5679) him^G846, and^G1161 saith^G3004^(G5719), O^G5599 faithless^G571 generation^G1074, how long^G2193^G4219 shall I be^G2071^(G5704) with^G4314 you^G5209? how long^G2193^G4219 shall I suffer^G430^(G5695) you^G5216? bring^G5342^(G5720) him^G846 unto^G4314 me^G3165.

²² Often it has cast him both into the fire and into the water to destroy him. But if you can do anything, have compassion on us and help us.”

KJVAnd^G2532 ofttimes^G4178 it hath cast^G906^(G5627) him^G846 into^G2532^G1519 the fire^G4442, and^G2532 into^G1519 the waters^G5204, to^G2443 destroy^G622^(G5661) him^G846: but^G235 if^G1536 thou canst^G1410^(G5736) do any thing^G1536, have compassion^G4697^(G5679) on^G1909 us^G2248, and help^G997^(G5657) us^G2254.

²⁶ After crying out and convulsing him greatly, it came out of him. The boy became like one dead, so much that most of them said, “He is dead.”

KJVAnd^G2532 the spirit cried^G2896^(G5660), and^G2532 rent^G4682^(G5660) him^G846 sore^G4183, and came out of him^G1831^(G5627): and^G2532 he was^G1096^(G5633) as^G5616 one dead^G3498; insomuch^G5620 that^G3754 many^G4183 said^G3004^(G5721), He is dead^G599^(G5627).

²⁷ But Jesus took him by the hand and raised him up; and he arose.

KJVAnd^G2532 he took^G2983^(G5631) a child^G3813, and set^G2476^(G5656) him^G846 in^G1722 the midst^G3319 of them^G846: and^G2532 when he had taken^G1723 him^G846 in his arms^G1723^(G5666), he said^G2036^(G5627) unto them^G846,

³⁷ “Whoever receives one such little child in my name receives me; and whoever receives me, doesn’t receive me, but him who sent me.”

KJVWhosoever^G3739^G1437 shall receive^G1209^(G5667) one^G1520 of such^G5108 children^G3813 in^G1909 my^G3450 name^G3686, receiveth^G1209^(G5736) me^G1691: and^G2532 whosoever^G3739^G1437 shall receive^G1209^(G5667) me^G1691, receiveth^G1209^(G5736) not^G3756 me^G1691, but^G235 him that sent^G649^(G5660) me^G3165.

³⁸ John said to him, “Teacher, we saw someone who doesn’t follow us casting out demons in your name; and we forbade him, because he doesn’t follow us.”

KJVAnd^G1161 John^G2491 answered^G611^(G5662) him^G846, saying^G3004^(G5723), Master^G1320, we saw^G1492^(G5627) one^G5100 casting out^G1544^(G5723) devils^G1140 in thy^G4675 name^G3686, and^G3739 he followeth^G190^(G5719) not^G3756 us^G2254: and^G2532 we forbad^G2967^(G5656) him^G846, because^G3754 he followeth^G190^(G5719) not^G3756 us^G2254.

³⁹ But Jesus said, “Don’t forbid him, for there is no one who will do a mighty work in my name and be able quickly to speak evil of me.

KJVBut^G1161 Jesus^G2424 said^G2036^(G5627), Forbid^G2967^(G5720) him^G846 not^G3361: for^G1063 there is^G2076^(G5748) no man^G3762 which^G3739 shall do^G4160^(G5692) a miracle^G1411 in^G1909 my^G3450 name^G3686, that^G2532 can^G1410^(G5695) lightly^G5035 speak evil^G2551^(G5658) of me^G3165.

⁴⁰ For whoever is not against us is on our side.

KJVFor^G1063 he that^G3739 is^G2076^(G5748) not^G3756 against^G2596 us^G2257 is^G2076^(G5748) on^G5228 our^G2257 part^G5228.

⁴¹ For whoever will give you a cup of water to drink in my name because you are Christ’s, most certainly I tell you, he will in no way lose his reward.

KJVFor^G1063 whosoever^G3739^G302 shall give^G4222 you^G5209 a cup^G4221 of water^G5204 to drink^G4222^(G5661) in^G1722 my^G3450 name^G3686, because^G3754 ye belong^G2075^(G5748) to Christ^G5547, verily^G281 I say^G3004^(G5719) unto you^G5213, he shall^G622 not^G3364 lose^G622^(G5661) his^G846 reward^G3408.

⁴² “Whoever will cause one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him if he were thrown into the sea with a millstone hung around his neck.

KJVAnd^G2532 whosoever^G3739^G302 shall offend^G4624^(G5661) one^G1520 of these little ones^G3398 that believe^G4100^(G5723) in^G1519 me^G1691, it is^G2076^(G5748) better^G2570^G3123 for him^G846 that^G1487 a millstone^G3037^G3457 were hanged^G4029^(G5736) about^G4012 his^G846 neck^G5137, and^G2532 he were cast^G906^(G5769) into^G1519 the sea^G2281.

⁴³ If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed, rather than having your two hands to go into Gehenna, into the unquenchable fire,

KJVAnd^G2532 if^G1437 thy^G4675 hand^G5495 offend^G4624^(G5725) thee^G4571, cut^G609 it^G846 off^G609^(G5657): it is^G2076^(G5748) better^G2570 for thee^G4671 to enter^G1525^(G5629) into^G1519 life^G2222 maimed^G2948, than^G2228 having^G2192^(G5723) two^G1417 hands^G5495 to go^G565^(G5629) into^G1519 hell^G1067, into^G1519 the fire^G4442 that never shall be quenched^G762:

⁴⁴ ‘where their worm doesn’t die, and the fire is not quenched.’

KJVWhere^G3699 their^G846 worm^G4663 dieth^G5053^(G5719) not^G3756, and^G2532 the fire^G4442 is^G4570 not^G3756 quenched^G4570^(G5743).

⁴⁵ If your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life lame, rather than having your two feet to be cast into Gehenna, into the fire that will never be quenched—

KJVAnd^G2532 if^G1437 thy^G4675 foot^G4228 offend^G4624^(G5725) thee^G4571, cut^G609 it^G846 off^G609^(G5657): it is^G2076^(G5748) better^G2570 for thee^G4671 to enter^G1525^(G5629) halt^G5560 into^G1519 life^G2222, than^G2228 having^G2192^(G5723) two^G1417 feet^G4228 to be cast^G906^(G5683) into^G1519 hell^G1067, into^G1519 the fire^G4442 that never shall be quenched^G762:

⁴⁶ ‘where their worm doesn’t die, and the fire is not quenched.’

KJVWhere^G3699 their^G846 worm^G4663 dieth^G5053^(G5719) not^G3756, and^G2532 the fire^G4442 is^G4570 not^G3756 quenched^G4570^(G5743).

⁴⁷ If your eye causes you to stumble, throw it out. It is better for you to enter into God’s Kingdom with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the Gehenna of fire,

KJVAnd^G2532 if^G1437 thine^G4675 eye^G3788 offend^G4624^(G5725) thee^G4571, pluck^G1544 it^G846 out^G1544^(G5628): it is^G2076^(G5748) better^G2570 for thee^G4671 to enter^G1525^(G5629) into^G1519 the kingdom^G932 of God^G2316 with one eye^G3442, than^G2228 having^G2192^(G5723) two^G1417 eyes^G3788 to be cast^G906^(G5683) into^G1519 hell^G1067 fire^G4442:

⁴⁸ ‘where their worm doesn’t die, and the fire is not quenched.’

KJVWhere^G3699 their^G846 worm^G4663 dieth^G5053^(G5719) not^G3756, and^G2532 the fire^G4442 is^G4570 not^G3756 quenched^G4570^(G5743).

⁴⁹ For everyone will be salted with fire, and every sacrifice will be seasoned with salt.

KJVFor^G1063 every one^G3956 shall be salted^G233^(G5701) with fire^G4442, and^G2532 every^G3956 sacrifice^G2378 shall be salted^G233^(G5701) with salt^G251.

⁵⁰ Salt is good, but if the salt has lost its saltiness, with what will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another.”

KJVSalt^G217 is good^G2570: but^G1161 if^G1437 the salt^G217 have lost^G1096^(G5638) his saltness^G358, wherewith^G1722^G5101 will ye season^G741^(G5692) it^G846? Have^G2192^(G5720) salt^G217 in^G1722 yourselves^G1438, and^G2532 have peace^G1514^(G5720) one^G240 with^G1722 another^G240.
