whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, 44)

 Mark 10:32-34 - 32) They were on their way up to
Jerusalem, with Jesus leading the way, and the disciples were
astonished, while those who followed were afraid. Again, he took the
Twelve aside and told them what was going to happen to him. 33) “We are
going up to Jerusalem,” he said, “ and the Son of Man will be betrayed
to the chief priests and teachers of the law. They will condemn him to
death and will hand him over to the Gentiles, 34) who will mock him and
spit on him, flog him and kill him. Three days later he will rise.”

29) “I tell you the truth,” Jesus replied, “no one who has left home or
brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for me
and the gospel 30) will fail to receive a hundred times as much in
this present age (homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and
fields – and with them, persecutions) and in the age to come, eternal
life. 31) But many who are first will be last, and the last first.”

knees before him. “Good teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit

adultery, do not steal, do not give false testimony, do not defraud,
honor your father and mother.”

them, but the disciples rebuked them. 14) When Jesus saw this, he was

his arms, put his hands on them and blessed them.

sin, it would be better for him to be thrown into the sea with a large

certainly not lose his reward.”

everyone, and understand this. 15) Nothing outside a man can make him
‘unclean’ by going into him. Rather, it is what comes out of a man that
makes him ‘unclean.’”
17) After he had left the crowd and entered the house, his disciples
asked him about this parable. 18) “Are you so dull?” he asked. “Don’t
you see that nothing that enters a man from the outside can make him
‘unclean’? 19) For it doesn’t go into his heart but into his stomach,
and then out of his body.” (In saying this, Jesus declared all foods
“clean.”)

Mark 7:9-13 - 9) And he said to them, “You have a fine way of setting aside the
commands of God in order to observe your own traditions! 10) For Moses
said, “Honor your father and your mother,” and, “Anyone who curses his
father or mother must be put to death.” 11) But you say that if a man
says to his father or mother: “Whatever help you might otherwise have
received from me is Corban” (that is, a gift devoted to God), 12) then
you no longer let him do anything for his father and mother. 13) Thus
you nullify the word of God by your tradition that you have handed
down. And you do many things like that.”

Jerusalem gathered around Jesus and 2) saw some of his disciples eating
food with hands that were “unclean,” that is, unwashed. 3) (The
Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they give their hands a
ceremonial washing, holding to the tradition of the elders. 4) When
they come from the marketplace they do not eat unless they wash. And
they observe many other traditions, such as the washing of cups,
pitchers and kettles. 5) So the Pharisees and teachers of the law asked Jesus, “Why don’t
your disciples live according to the tradition of the elders instead of
eating their food with ‘unclean’ hands?”
