And having taken a young child, he set him in the midst of them: and having taken it up in his arms, he said to them, Whoever should receive ones of such young children in my name, receives me: and whoever should receive me, receives not me, but him sending me. And John answered him, saying, Teacher, we saw a certain one casting out demons in thy name, who follows not us: and we checked him, for he follows not us. And Jesus said, Check him not: for there is no one who shall do power in my name, and shall be able quickly to revile me. For whoever is not against us, is for us. For whoever should give you to drink a cup of water in my name, because ye are of Christ, verily I say to you, he should not lose his reward. And whoever should scandalize one of these little ones believing in me, it is good for him rather if a millstone is put about his neck, and he be cast into the sea. And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off; it is good for thee rather to enter into life maimed, than having two hands, to go away into hell, into inextinguishable fire: Where their worm dies not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is good for thee to enter into life lame, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into inextinguishable fire: Where their worm dies not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thine eye offend thee, cast it out: it is good for thee, one eyed, to come into the kingdom of God, than having two eyes to be cast into a hell of fire: Where their worm dies not, and the fire is not quenched. For all shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt. Salt good: but if the salt be saltless, with what will ye prepare it? Have salt in yourselves, and live in peace one with another.
