“… [Jesus] said, ‘Amen, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will not enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven. And whoever receives one child such as this in My Name receives Me. … I say to you that their Angels in Heaven always look upon the Face of My Heavenly Father.”
“An argument arose among the Disciples about which of them was the greatest. Jesus realized the intention of their hearts and took a child and placed it by His side and said to them, ‘Whoever receives this child in My Name receives me, and whoever receives Me receives the One Who sent Me. For the one who is least among all of you is the one who is the greatest.’ …”
“… ‘Teacher, we saw someone driving out demons in Your Name, and we tried to prevent him because he does not follow us.’ Jesus replied, ‘Do not prevent him. There is no one who performs a mighty deed in My Name who can at the same time speak ill of Me. For whoever is not against us is for us. * * * Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him if a great millstone were put around his neck and he were thrown into the sea. …”
“War broke out in Heaven; Michael and his Angels battled against the dragon. The dragon and its angels fought back,
but they did not prevail and there was no longer any place for them …. I heard a loud voice in Heaven say: ‘Now have Salvation and Power come, and the Kingdom of our God and the Authority of His Anointed. For the accuser of our brothers is cast out …. They conquered him by the Blood of the Lamb and by the Word of their Testimony ….'”
“Then He said to them, ‘But who do you say that I AM?’ Peter said in reply, ‘The Christ of God.’ … He said, ‘The Son of Man must suffer greatly and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed and on the third day be Raised.'”
“In every age, O Lord, You have been our Refuge. …”
“Jesus … gave [the Twelve] Power and Authority over all demons and to cure diseases, and … sent them to Proclaim the Kingdom of God and to heal the sick. ‘Take nothing for the journey, neither walking stick, nor sack, nor food, nor money, and let no one take a second tunic. … as for those who do not welcome you, when you leave that town, shake the dust from your feet in testimony against them.’ … “
“‘My mother and My brothers are those who hear the Word of God and act on It.'”
“Jesus … was teaching His Disciples … ”The Son of Man is to be handed over to men and they will kill Him, and three days after His Death the Son of Man will rise.’ * * * … He … called the Twelve, and said to them, ‘If anyone wishes to be first, he shall be the last of all and the servant of all.’ …”
“Jesus … saw a man named Matthew sitting at the customs post. He said to him, ‘Follow Me.’ And he got up and followed Him. * * * [Jesus] … said, ‘Those who are well do not need a physician, but the sick do. Go and learn the meaning of the words, I desire mercy, not sacrifice. …'”
