Mark 10

6

"But at the beginning of creation God `made them male and female.'^[1]

7

`For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife,^[2]

8

and the two will become one flesh.'^[3] So they are no longer two, but one.

9

Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate."

13

People were bringing little children to Jesus to have him touch them, but the disciples rebuked them.

14

When Jesus saw this, he was indignant. He said to them, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.

15

I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it."

16

And he took the children in his arms, put his hands on them and blessed them.

Mark 10

42

Jesus called them together and said, "You know that those who are regarded as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them.

43

Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant,

44

and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all.

45

For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."

John 2

1

On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus' mother was there,

2

and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding.

3

When the wine was gone, Jesus' mother said to him, "They have no more wine."

4

"Dear woman, why do you involve me?" Jesus replied. "My time has not yet come."

5

His mother said to the servants, "Do whatever he tells you."

6

Nearby stood six stone water jars, the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing, each holding from twenty to thirty gallons.^[1]

7

Jesus said to the servants, "Fill the jars with water"; so they filled them to the brim.

8

Then he told them, "Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet." They did so,

9

and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside

10

and said, "Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now."

11

This, the first of his miraculous signs, Jesus performed at Cana in Galilee. He thus revealed his glory, and his disciples put their faith in him.

John 15

9

"As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love.

10

If you obey my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father's commands and remain in his love.

11

I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.

12

My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.

13

Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.

14

You are my friends if you do what I command.

15

I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you.

16

You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit--fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name.

17

This is my command: Love each other.
