14And presently all the people seeing Jesus, were astonished and struck with fear; and running to him, they saluted him.
15And he asked them: What do you question about among you?
16And one of the multitude, answering, said: Master, I have brought my son to thee, having a dumb spirit.
17Who, wheresoever he taketh him, dasheth him, and he foameth, and gnasheth with the teeth, and pineth away; and I spoke to thy disciples to cast him out, and they could not.
18Who answering them, said: O incredulous generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me.
19And they brought him. And when he had seen him, immediately the spirit troubled him; and being thrown down upon the ground, he rolled about foaming.
20And he asked his father: How long time is it since this hath happened unto him? But he said: From his infancy:
21And oftentimes hath he cast him into the fire and into waters to destroy him. But if thou canst do any thing, help us, having compassion on us.
22And Jesus saith to him: If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.
23And immediately the father of the boy crying out, with tears said: I do believe, Lord: help my unbelief.
24And when Jesus saw the multitude running together, he threatened the unclean spirit, saying to him: Deaf and dumb spirit, I command thee, go out of him; and enter not any more into him.
25And crying out, and greatly tearing him, he went out of him, and he became as dead, so that many said: He is dead.
26But Jesus taking him by the hand, lifted him up; and he arose.
27And when he was come into the house, his disciples secretly asked him: Why could not we cast him out?
28And he said to them: This kind can go out by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.
29And departing from thence, they passed through Galilee, and he would not that any man should know it.
Mark 9:30-37

30And he taught his disciple, and said to them: The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men, and they shall kill him; and after that he is killed, he shall rise again the third day.
31But they understood not the word, and they were afraid to ask him.
32And they came to Capharnaum. And when they were in the house, he asked them: What did you treat of in the way?
33But they held their peace, for in the way they had disputed among themselves, which of them should be the greatest.
34And sitting down, he called the twelve, and saith to them: If any man desire to be first, he shall be the last of all, and the minister of all.
35And taking a child, he set him in the midst of them. Whom when he had embraced, he saith to them:
36Whosoever shall receive one such child as this in my name, receiveth me. And whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me.
37John answered him, saying: Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, who followeth not us, and we forbade him.

1The ancients therefore that are among you, I beseech, who am myself also an ancient, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ: as also a partaker of that glory which is to be revealed in time to come:
2Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking care of it, not by constraint, but willingly, according to God: not for filthy lucre’s sake, but voluntarily:
3Neither as lording it over the clergy, but being made a pattern of the flock from the heart.
4And when the prince of pastors shall appear, you shall receive a never fading crown of glory.
Matthew 16:13-19

13And Jesus came into the quarters of Cesarea Philippi: and he asked his disciples, saying: Whom do men say that the Son of man is?
14But they said: Some John the Baptist, and other some Elias, and others Jeremias, or one of the prophets.
15Jesus saith to them: But whom do you say that I am?
16Simon Peter answered and said: Thou art Christ, the Son of the living God.
17And Jesus answering, said to him: Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-Jona: because flesh and blood hath not revealed it to thee, but my Father who is in heaven.
18And I say to thee: That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
19And I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven. And whatsoever thou shalt bind upon earth, it shall be bound also in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose upon earth, it shall be loosed also in heaven.
Mark 9:41-50

41And whosoever shall scandalize one of these little ones that believe in me; it were better for him that a millstone were hanged around his neck, and he were cast into the sea.
42And if thy hand scandalize thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life, maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into unquenchable fire:
43Where there worm dieth not, and the fire is not extinguished.
44And if thy foot scandalize thee, cut it off. It is better for thee to enter lame into life everlasting, than having two feet, to be cast into the hell of unquenchable fire:
45Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not extinguished.
46And if thy eye scandalize thee, pluck it out. It is better for thee with one eye to enter into the kingdom of God, than having two eyes to be cast into the hell of fire:
47Where the worm dieth not, and the fire is not extinguished.
48For every one shall be salted with fire: and every victim shall be salted with salt.
49Salt is good. But if the salt became unsavoury; wherewith will you season it? Have salt in you, and have peace among you.
Mark 10:1-12

1And rising up from thence, he cometh into the coasts of Judea beyond the Jordan: and the multitudes flock to him again. And as he was accustomed, he taught them again.
2And the Pharisees coming to him asked him: Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? tempting him.
3But he answering, saith to them: What did Moses command you?
4Who said: Moses permitted to write a bill of divorce, and to put her away.
5To whom Jesus answering, said: Because of the hardness of your heart he wrote you that precept.
6But from the beginning of the creation, God made them male and female.
7For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother; and shall cleave to his wife.
8And they two shall be in one flesh. Therefore now they are not two, but one flesh.
9What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
10And in the house again his disciples asked him concerning the same thing.
11And he saith to them: Whosoever shall put away his wife and marry another, committeth adultery against her.
12And if the wife shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.

13And they brought to him young children, that he might touch them. And the disciples rebuked them that brought them.
14Whom when Jesus saw, he was much displeased, and saith to them: Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not; for of such is the kingdom of God.
15Amen I say to you, whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, shall not enter into it.
16And embracing them, and laying his hands upon them, he blessed them.

18And the disiples of John and the Pharisees used to fast; and they come and say to him: Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast; but thy disciples do not fast?
19And Jesus saith to them: Can the children of the marriage fast, as long as the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.
20But the days will come when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them; and then they shall fast in those days.
21No man seweth a piece of raw cloth to an old garment: otherwise the new piecing taketh away from the old, and there is made a greater rent.
22And no man putteth new wine into old bottles: otherwise the wine will burst the bottles, and both the wine will be spilled, and the bottles will be lost. But new wine must be put into new bottles.
