For he who is least among you all is the one who is great.”	He 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.”	And 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.	and He 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.”
49	John answered, “Master, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we tried to stop him, because he does not follow with us.”	John responded, “Master, we saw someone driving out demons in Your name, and we tried to stop him because he does not follow us.”	And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us.	John 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.”

But Jesus said to him, “Do not hinder him; for the one who is not against you is for you.”
51	When the days drew near for him to be taken up, he set his face to go to Jerusalem.	When the days were coming to a close for Him to be taken up, He determined to journey to Jerusalem.

57	As they were going along the road, someone said to him, “I will follow you wherever you go.”	As they were traveling on the road someone said to Him, “I will follow You wherever You go!”	And 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.

60	And Jesus said to him, “Leave the dead to bury their own dead. But as for you, go and proclaim the kingdom of God.”	But He told him, “Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and spread the news of the kingdom of God.”	Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.	But He said to him, “Allow the dead to bury their own dead; but as for you, go and proclaim everywhere the kingdom of God.”
61	Yet another said, “I will follow you, Lord, but let me first say farewell to those at my home.”	Another also said, “I will follow You, Lord, but first let me go and say good-bye to those at my house.”	And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house.	Another also said, “I will follow You, Lord; but first permit me to say goodbye to those at my home.”
62	Jesus said to him, “No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.”	But Jesus said to him, “No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.”	And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.
