A rich man asks, "What must I do to inherit eternal life?" (see also Matthew 19:6-30; Luke 18:18-30). A man asked, "Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?" Jesus said, "One thing you lack. Go, sell whatever you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me, taking up the cross."
Jesus teaches about divorce (10:2-12; see also Matthew 19:1-9). "Let the children come unto me" (10:13-16; see also Matthew 19:13-15; Luke 18:15-17). Jesus said, "Let the little children to come to me, for the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Whoever will not receive the Kingdom of God like a little child, he will in no way enter into it."
Don't stop him. Whoever is not against us is for us (9:38-41; see also Matthew 10:40-42; Luke 9:49-50). Stumbling blocks. Temptations to sin (9:42-50; see also Matthew 18:6-9; Luke 17:1-2). "Whoever will cause one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him if he were thrown into the sea with a millstone hung around his neck."
Jesus foretells his death and resurrection a second time (9:30-32; see also Matthew 17:22-23; Luke 9:43-45). Whoever would be first must be last of all and servant of all (9:33-37; see also Matthew 18:1-5; Luke 9:46-48). Jesus said, "The Son of Man is being handed over to the hands of men, and they will kill him; and when he is killed, on the third day he will rise again."
Jesus' Transfiguration (see also Matthew 17:1-8; Luke 9:28-36). Jesus brought Peter, James, and John up onto a high mountain. He was changed into another form in front of them. His clothing became glistening, exceedingly white, like snow, such as no launderer on earth can whiten them. Elijah and Moses appeared to them, and they were talking with Jesus.
Welcoming prophets and righteous people (see also Mark 9:41). "Whoever gives one of these little ones just a cup of cold water to drink in the name of a disciple, most certainly I tell you he will in no way lose his reward."
Jesus walks on water (see also Mark 6:45-52; John 6:15-21). In the fourth watch of the night, Jesus came to them, walking on the sea. When the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, "It's a ghost!" and they cried out for fear. But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying "Cheer up! It is I! Don't be afraid."
Peter confesses his faith that Jesus is the Messiah (8:27-30; see also Matthew 16:13-20; Luke 9:18-20). Jesus foretells his death and resurrection (8:31-33; see also Matthew 16:21-23; Luke 9:21-22). Deny yourself, take up your cross, and follow me (8:34-38; see also Matthew 16:24-28; Luke 9:23-27). Jesus asked his disciples, "Who do men say that I am?" They told him, "John the Baptizer, and others say Elijah, but others: one of the prophets." He said, "But who do you say that I am?" Peter answered, "You are the Christ."
Disciples and masters (10:24-25). Have no fear (10:26-33; see also Luke 12:2-7). I bring, not peace, but a sword (10:34-39; see also Luke 12:51-53; 14:26-27). "He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he who loves son or daughter more than me isn't worthy of me. He who doesn't take his cross and follow after me, isn't worthy of me. He who seeks his life will lose it; and he who loses his life for my sake will find it."
The feeding of the five thousand (see also Mark 6:30-44; Luke 9:10-17; John 6:1-14). When evening had come, Jesus' disciples came to him, saying, "This place is deserted, and the hour is already late. Send the multitudes away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves food." But Jesus said to them, "They don't need to go away. You give them something to eat."
