14 Take what is thine, and go thy way: I will also give to this last even as to thee.
15 Or, is it not lawful for me to do what I will? Is thy eye evil, because I am good?
16 So shall the last be first and the first last. For many are called but few chosen.
17 And Jesus going up to Jerusalem, took the twelve disciples apart and said to them:
18 Behold we go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man shall be betrayed to the chief priests and the scribes: and they shall condemn him to death.
19 And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to be mocked and scourged and crucified: and the third day he shall rise again.
