The boy lay so still that
many said, He is dead. But Jesus took him by the hand, lifted him up
and he arose. After Jesus went inside, His disciples asked Him
privately, Why could we not cast him out? He said to them, This kind
can only come forth by prayer and fasting.
Then they departed and passed through Galilee without notice for He
taught His disciples and said, The Son of man is delivered into the
hands of men. They shall kill Him. After He is killed, He shall arise
on the third day.
They did not understand these words but were afraid to ask Him. Once
they got safely inside the house at Capernaum, Jesus asked them, What
was it that ye disputed among yourselves along the way?
They were silent because, on the way back, they had disputed who among
themselves should be the greatest. Jesus then sat down, called the
twelve, and said to them, If any man desire to be first, the same shall
be last of all and servant of all. Then He took a child and set him in
the midst of them. As He took the child in His arms, He said to them,
Whosoever shall receive one of such children in my name, receives me.
And whosoever shall receive me, receives not me, but Him that sent me.
Then John said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, but
he does not follow us so we forbad him because he does not follow us.
