He said to them, &#8220;The Son of Man is going to be delivered into the hands of men. They will kill him, and after three days he will rise.&#8221; 32But they did not understand what he meant and were afraid to ask him about it.</div><div class="p">33They came to Capernaum.

It is better for you to enter life maimed than with two hands to go into hell, where the fire never goes out.

It is better for you to enter life crippled than to have two feet and be thrown into hell. [46]#9:46 Some manuscripts include here the words of verse 48. 47And if your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell, 48where</div><div class="q1">&#8220;&#8198;&#8216;the worms that eat them do not die,</div><div class="q2">and the fire is not quenched.&#8217; #9:48 Isaiah 66:24</div><div class="m">49 Everyone will be salted with fire.</div><div class="p">50 &#8220;Salt is good, but if it loses its saltiness, how can you make it salty again?
