His prediction of his own sufferings and death, Mark 10:30-10:32. IV.

V. Christ’s discourse with his disciples of the danger of offending one of his little ones (Mark 10:42), and of indulging that in ourselves, which is an offence and an occasion of sin to us (Mark 10:43-10:50), most of which passages we had before, Matthew 17:1-Matthew 18:35 MHBCC 967.1
