3 refs
22
saying, “The Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up.”

He said to all, “If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.

10 refs
35
A voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him!”
15 refs
36
When the voice came, Yahusha was found alone. They were silent, and told no one in those days any of the things which they had seen.

Yahusha answered, “Faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here.”
29 refs
42
While he was still coming, the demon threw him down and convulsed him violently. But Yahusha rebuked the unclean spirit, healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.

They were all astonished at the majesty of Elohim. But while all were marveling at all the things which Yahusha did, he said to his disciples,
12 refs
44
“Let these words sink into your ears, for the Son of Man will be delivered up into the hands of men.”
25 refs
45
But they didn’t understand this saying. It was concealed from them, that they should not perceive it, and they were afraid to ask him about this saying.
13 refs
46
An argument arose among them about which of them was the greatest.
13 refs
47
Yahusha, perceiving the reasoning of their hearts, took a little child, and set him by his side,
16 refs
48
and said to them, “Whoever receives this little child in my name receives me. Whoever receives me receives him who sent me. For whoever is least among you all, this one will be great.”

John answered, “Master, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we forbade him, because he doesn’t follow with us.”

It came to pass, when the days were near that he should be taken up, he intently set his face to go to Jerusalem

9 refs
53
They didn’t receive him, because he was traveling with his face set toward Jerusalem.

When his disciples, James and John, saw this, they said, “Lord, do you want us to command fire to come down from the sky, and destroy them, just as Elijah did?”
8 refs
55
But he turned and rebuked them, “You don’t know of what kind of spirit you are.
22 refs
56
For the Son of Man didn’t come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them.” They went to another village.
13 refs
57
As they went on the way, a certain man said to him, “I want to follow you wherever you go, Lord.”
5 refs
58
Yahusha said to him, “The foxes have holes, and the birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.”
8 refs
59
He said to another, “Follow me!” But he said, “Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father.”
7 refs
60
But Yahusha said to him, “Leave the dead to bury their own dead, but you go and announce Elohim’s Kingdom.”
11 refs
61
Another also said, “I want to follow you, Lord, but first allow me to say good-bye to those who are at my house.”
6 refs
62
But Yahusha said to him, “No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for Elohim’s Kingdom.”
