Jesus said, "If your right eye makes you stumble, tear it out and throw it from you; for it is better for you to lose one of the parts of your body, than for your whole body to be thrown in hell."
Luke 8:40-56 (GNT) 40 When Jesus returned to the other side of the lake, the people welcomed him, because they had all been waiting for him. 41 Then a man named Jairus arrived; he was an official in the local synagogue. He threw himself down at Jesus' feet and begged him to go to his home, 42 because his only daughter, who was twelve years old, was dying. As Jesus went along, the people were crowding him from every side. 43 Among them was a woman who had suffered from severe bleeding for twelve years; she had spent all she had on doctors, but no one had been able to cure her. 44 She came up in the crowd behind Jesus and touched the edge of his cloak, and her bleeding stopped at once. 45 Jesus asked, "Who touched me?" Everyone denied it, and Peter said, "Master, the people are all around you and crowding in on you." 46 But Jesus said, "Someone touched me, for I knew it when power went out of me." 47 The woman saw that she had been found o...

Jesus Appears to Seven Disciples
"Jesus later appeared to his disciples along the shore of Lake
Tiberias. Simon Peter, Thomas the Twin, Nathanael from Cana in
Galilee, and the brothers James and John, were there, together with
two other disciples. Simon Peter said, "I'm going fishing!"

anything?"
"No!" they answered.
So he told them, "Let your net down on the right side of your boat,
and you will catch some fish."

Jesus Is the Light for the World
Once again Jesus spoke to the people. This time he said, "I am the
light for the world! Follow me, and you won't be walking in the dark.
You will have the light that gives life." The Pharisees objected, "You
are the only one speaking for yourself, and what you say isn't true!"
Jesus replied: Even if I do speak for myself, what I say is true! I
know where I came from and where I am going. But you don't know where
I am from or where I am going. You judge in the same way that
everyone else does, but I don't judge anyone. If I did judge, I would
