There is none good but one, that is, God. 31 But many that are fuft fhall be last ; and the last first. 82 And they were in the way going up to Jerufalem; and Jefus went before them; and they were amazed; and as they followed, they were afraid. And he took again the twelve, and began to tell them what things fhould happen unto him, 38 Saying, Behold, we go up to Jerufalem; and the Son of Man fhall be delivered unto the chief priests, and unto the scribes; and they fhall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the Gentiles: 34 And they fhall mock him, and shall fcourge him, and fhall fpit upon him, and hall kill him; and the third day he shall rise again. 35 And James and John, the fons of 19 Thou knoweft the commandments, Zebedee, come unto him, faying, Mafter, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do we would that thou fhouldelt do for us not steal.
