For he who is least among you all is the one who is great.” | 48and said to them, "Whoever receives this child in My name receives Me, and whoever receives Me receives Him who sent Me; for the one who is least among all of you, this is the one who is great." | 48And said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this child in my name receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, the same shall be great. | 48He told them, "Whoever welcomes this little child in My name welcomes Me. And whoever welcomes Me welcomes Him who sent Me. For whoever is least among you--this one is great." |
| 49"Master," said John, "we saw someone driving out demons in your name and we tried to stop him, because he is not one of us." | 49John answered, “Master, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we tried to stop him, because he does not follow with us.” | 49John answered and said, "Master, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name; and we tried to prevent him because he does not follow along with us." | 49And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us. | 49John responded, "Master, we saw someone driving out demons in Your name, and we tried to stop him because he does not follow us." |
| 50"Do not stop him," Jesus said, "for whoever is not against you is for you." | 50But Jesus said to him, “Do not stop him, for the one who is not against you is for you.” | 50But Jesus said to him, "Do not hinder him; for he who is not against you is for you." | 50And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against us is for us. | 50"Don't stop him," Jesus told him, "because whoever is not against you is for you." |
Samaritans Reject Jesus | 51As the time approached for him to be taken up to heaven, Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem. | 51When the days drew near for him to be taken up, he set his face to go to Jerusalem. | 51When the days were approaching for His ascension, He was determined to go to Jerusalem; | 51And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem, | 51When the days were coming to a close for Him to be taken up, He determined to journey to Jerusalem. |
| 52And he sent messengers on ahead, who went into a Samaritan village to get things ready for him; | 52And he sent messengers ahead of him, who went and entered a village of the Samaritans, to make preparations for him. | 52and He sent messengers on ahead of Him, and they went and entered a village of the Samaritans to make arrangements for Him. | 52And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him. | 52He sent messengers ahead of Him, and on the way they entered a village of the Samaritans to make preparations for Him. |
| 53but the people there did not welcome him, because he was heading for Jerusalem. | 53But the people did not receive him, because his face was set toward Jerusalem. | 53But they did not receive Him, because He was traveling toward Jerusalem. | 53And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem. | 53But they did not welcome Him, because He determined to journey to Jerusalem. |
| 54When the disciples James and John saw this, they asked, "Lord, do you want us to call fire down from heaven to destroy them?" | 54And when his disciples James and John saw it, they said, “Lord, do you want us to tell fire to come down from heaven and consume them?” | 54When His disciples James and John saw this, they said, "Lord, do You want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them?" | 54And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did? | 54When the disciples James and John saw this, they said, "Lord, do You want us to call down fire from heaven to consume them?" |
| 55But Jesus turned and rebuked them. | 55But he turned and rebuked them. | 55But He turned and rebuked them, and said, "You do not know what kind of spirit you are of; | 55But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. | 55But He turned and rebuked them, |
| 56Then he and his disciples went to another village. | 56And they went on to another village. | 56for the Son of Man did not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them." And they went on to another village. | 56For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. And they went to another village. | 56and they went to another village. |
The Cost of Following Jesus
(Matthew 8:18-22; Luke 14:25-33; John 6:60-65) | 57As they were walking along the road, a man said to him, "I will follow you wherever you go." | 57As they were going along the road, someone said to him, “I will follow you wherever you go.” | 57As they were going along the road, someone said to Him, "I will follow You wherever You go." | 57And it came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a certain man said unto him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest. | 57As they were traveling on the road someone said to Him, "I will follow You wherever You go!" |
| 58Jesus replied, "Foxes have dens and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head." | 58And Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.” | 58And Jesus said to him, "The foxes have holes and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head." | 58And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head. | 58Jesus told him, "Foxes have dens, and birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay His head." |
| 59He said to another man, "Follow me." But he replied, "Lord, first let me go and bury my father." | 59To another he said, “Follow me.” But he said, “Lord, let me first go and bury my father.” | 59And He said to another, "Follow Me." But he said, "Lord, permit me first to go and bury my father." | 59And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. | 59Then He said to another, "Follow Me."" Lord," he said, "first let me go bury my father." |
| 60Jesus said to him, "Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and proclaim the kingdom of God." | 60And Jesus said to him, “Leave the dead to bury their own dead. But as for you, go and proclaim the kingdom of God.” | 60But He said to him, "Allow the dead to bury their own dead; but as for you, go and proclaim everywhere the kingdom of God." | 60Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God. | 60But He told him, "Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and spread the news of the kingdom of God." |
| 61Still another said, "I will follow you, Lord; but first let me go back and say goodbye to my family." | 61Yet another said, “I will follow you, Lord, but let me first say farewell to those at my home.” | 61Another also said, "I will follow You, Lord; but first permit me to say good-bye to those at home." | 61And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house. | 61Another also said, "I will follow You, Lord, but first let me go and say good-bye to those at my house." |
| 62Jesus replied, "No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God." | 62Jesus said to him, “No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.” | 62But Jesus said to him, "No one, after putting his hand to the plow and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God." | 62And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God. | 62But Jesus said to him, "No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God." |
