[1] 21202120    Mark x. 41.And when the ten heard, they were moved with anger against James and John.  [2] 21212121    Mark x. 42.And Jesus called them, and said unto them, Ye know that the rulers of the nations 91[3] are their lords; and their great men are set in authority over them.  21222122    Mark x. 43.Not thus shall it [Arabic, p. 118] be amongst you:  but he amongst you that would be great, let him be to you a [4] servant; 21232123    Mark x. 44.and whoever of you would be first,21242124    Lit. advanced. let him be to every man a [5] bond-servant:  21252125    Matt. xx. 28.even as the Son of man also came not to be served, but to serve, and [6] to give himself a ransom in place of the many.  21262126    Luke xiii. 22.He said this, and was going about [7] the villages and the cities, and teaching; and he went to Jerusalem.  21272127    Luke xiii. 23.And a man asked him, Are those that shall be saved few?  Jesus answered and said unto [8] them, Strive ye to enter at the narrow door:  21282128    Luke xiii. 24.I say unto you now, that many shall [9] seek to enter, and shall not be able21292129    Lit. find, like the Syriac.21302130    Luke xiii. 25.from the time when the master of the house riseth, and closeth the door, and ye shall be standing without, and shall knock at the door, and shall begin to say, Our lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and [10] say, I say unto you, I know you not whence ye are:  21312131    Luke xiii. 26.and ye shall begin to say, [11] Before thee we did eat and drink, and in our markets didst thou teach; 21322132    Luke xiii. 27.and he shall say unto you, I know you not whence ye are; depart21332133    This rendering requires the omission of the diacritical point over the middle radical.  The text as printed means perish. from me, ye servants [12] of untruth.  21342134    Luke xiii. 28.There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, while ye are [13] put forth without.  21352135    Luke xiii. 29.And they shall come from the east and the west, and from the [14] north and the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God.  21362136    Luke xiii. 30.And there shall then be last that have become first, and first that have become last.
