For Moses said:

Honor your father and your mother; and
Whoever speaks evil of father or mother
must be put to death.

Then He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes, be killed, and rise after three days.

Summoning the crowd along with His disciples, He said to them, “If anyone wants to be My follower, he must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Me.

Then they began to question Him, “Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”

“Elijah does come first and restores everything,” He replied. “How then is it written about the Son of Man that He must suffer many things and be treated with contempt?

He replied to them, “You unbelieving generation! How long will I be with you? How long must I put up with you? Bring him to Me.”

Sitting down, He called the Twelve and said to them, “If anyone wants to be first, he must be last of all and servant of all.”

Therefore what God has joined together, man must not separate.”

As He was setting out on a journey, a man ran up, knelt down before Him, and asked Him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”

But it must not be like that among you. On the contrary, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant,

and whoever wants to be first among you must be a slave to all.

When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, don’t be alarmed; these things must take place, but the end is not yet.

And the good news must first be proclaimed to all nations.

“When you see the abomination that causes desolation standing where it should not” (let the reader understand), “then those in Judea must flee to the mountains!

A man on the housetop must not come down or go in to get anything out of his house.

And a man in the field must not go back to get his clothes.

And you must watch! I have told you everything in advance.

Every day I was among you, teaching in the temple complex, and you didn’t arrest Me. But the Scriptures must be fulfilled.”
