Luther Bible 1545 (English)
worm dieth not, and their fire is not quenched.
If thy foot offend thee, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life lame than to have two feet and be thrown into hell, into eternal fire,
For their worm dieth not, and their fire is not quenched.
If thine eye offend thee, cast it from thee. It is better for thee to enter the kingdom of God with one eye, than to have two eyes and be cast into the hellish fire, 48. For their worm dieth not, and their fire is not quenched.
All things must be salted with fire, and all sacrifices must be salted with salt.
Salt is good: but if the salt become foolish, wherewith shall they season? Have salt with you, and be at peace one with another.
(Mark)

What God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

And they brought little children unto him, that he might touch them. And the disciples began to touch them that bare them.
And when Jesus saw it, he was displeased, and said unto them: Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for such is the kingdom of God.

And JE looked upon them, and said, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for all things are possible with GOD.
Then Peter said unto him, Behold, we have left all, and followed thee.
Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that forsaketh house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and for the gospel’s sake,

And JEsus said unto them: Ye know not what ye ask. Can ye drink the cup that I drink, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?
And they said unto him, Yea, we can. And Jesus said unto them: Ye shall drink the cup that I drink, and be baptized with baptism, as I am baptized withal;
But to sit on my right hand, and on my left, it is not for me to give you, but to whom it is prepared.
And when the ten heard it, they were displeased with James and John.

Christ’s entry, cursing of the fig tree, cleansing of the temple.
And when they were come nigh to Jerusalem, to Bethphage and Bethany, to the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples.
And said unto them: Go into the place which is before you, and straightway; when ye are come in, ye shall find a colt tied, on which no man hath ever sat. Untie it, and bring it hither.
And if any man shall say unto you, Why do ye this? Why do ye this? say, The LORD hath need; and he will send it quickly.
And they went and found the colt bound at the door, out of the way, and loosed it.
