him whatever they chose. as the
Scriptures say about him.

So they brought him to Jesus And
the spirit. when he saw Jesus,
immediately threw the youth into
commissions. so that he fell on the
ground and rolled about, foaming at
the mouth. Then Jesus asked this

Departing thence they passed thru
Ga'ilee. and He was unwilling that

teaching His disciples, and telling
them.

into the hands of men. and they will
put Him TO death; and after being put
to death. in three days He will rise to
lie again"
They. however. did not understand
what He meant. and were afraid to
question Him.

So they came to Capernaum: and
when in the house He asked them,
What were you arguing about on
the way?"
But they remained silent: for on the
way they had debated with one
another who was the chief of them.
Then sitting down He called the
Twelve. and said TO them.
If any one wishes to be first he
must be last of all and servant of ALL
And taking a young child He made
him stand in their midst. then threw
His arms around him and said
