Ch. 1 The ENTIRE Gospel Of Jesus According To Mark
1:1 The beginning of the gospel of
Jesus Christ, the Son of God;
1:2 as it is written in the prophets,
Behold, I send my messenger
before thy face,
which shall prepare thy way
before thee.
1:3 The voice of one crying in the
wilderness,
prepare ye the way of the Lord,
make his paths straight.
1:4 John did baptize in the wilderness,
and preach the baptism of
repentance for the remission of sins.
1:5 And there went out unto him
all the land of Judea,
and they of Jerusalem,
and were all baptized of him in the
river of Jordan,
confessing their sins.
1:6 And John was clothed with
camel's hair,
and with a girdle of a skin about
his loins;
and he did eat locusts and
wild honey;
1:7 and preached, saying,
there cometh one mightier
than I after me, the latchet
of whose shoes I am not worthy to
stoop down and unloose.
1:8 I indeed have baptized you
with water.
But he shall baptize you
with the Holy Ghost.
1:9 And it came to pass in those days,
that Jesus came from Nazareth of
Galilee,
and was baptized of John in Jordan.
1:10 And straightway coming up out of
the water,
he saw the heavens opened,
and the Spirit like a dove
descending upon him.
1:11 And there came a
voice from heaven,
saying,
Thou art my beloved Son,
in whom I am well pleased.
1:12 And immediately the
spirit driveth him into
the wilderness.
1:13 And he was there in the
wilderness forty days,
tempted of Satan;
and was with the wild beasts;
and the angels ministered unto him.
1:14 Now after that John was put in prison,
Jesus came into Galilee,
preaching the gospel of the
kingdom of God,
1:15 and saying,
the time is fulfilled, and the
kingdom of God is at hand.
Repent ye, and believe the gospel.
1:16 Now as he walked by the
sea of Galilee, he saw Simon,
and Andrew his brother,
casting a net into the sea.
For they were fishers.
1:17 And Jesus said unto them,
come ye after me,
and I will make you to
become fishers of men.
1:18 And straightway they
forsook their nets
and followed him.
1:19 And when he had gone a
little farther thence,
he saw James the son of Zebedee,
and John his brother,
who also were in the ship
mending their nets.
1:20 And straightway he called them.
And they left their father Zebedee
in the ship, with the hired servants,
and went after him.
1:21 And they went into Capernaum.
And straightway, on the Sabbath day,
he entered into the synagogue,
and taught.
1:22 And they were astonished
at his doctrine.
For he taught them as one that
had authority,
and not as the scribes.
1:23 And there was in their
synagogue,
a man with an unclean spirit;
and he cried out,
1:24 saying,
let us alone;
what have we to do with thee,
thou Jesus of Nazareth?
Art thou come to destroy us?
I know thee who thou art,
The Holy One, of God.
1:25 And Jesus rebuked him,
saying,
hold thy peace,
and come out of him.
1:26 And when the unclean spirit
had torn him,
and cried with a loud voice,
he came out of him.
1:27 And they were all amazed,
insomuch that they
questioned among themselves
saying,
what thing is this?
What new doctrine is this?
For with authority
commandeth he even the
unclean spirits,
and they do obey him.
1:28 And immediately,
his fame spread abroad
throughout all the region
round about Galilee.
1:29 And forthwith,
when they were come out of
the synagogue,
they entered into the house of
Simon and Andrew,
with James and John.
1:30 But Simon's wife's mother
lay sick of a fever,
and anon they tell him of her.
1:31 And he came and
took her by the hand,
and lifted her up;
and immediately the fever left her,
and she ministered unto them.
1:32 And at even when the sun did set,
they brought unto him all that
were diseased,
and them that were
possessed with devils.
1:33 And all the city was
gathered together at the door.
1:34 And he healed many that were
sick of divers diseases,
and cast out many devils;
and suffered not the devils to
speak, because they knew him.
1:35 And in the morning
rising up a great while before day,
he went out, and departed into a
solitary place, and there, prayed.
1:36 And Simon,
and they that were with him,
followed after him.
1:37 And when they had found him,
they said unto him,
all men seek for thee.
1:38 And he said unto them,
let us go into the next towns,
that I may preach there also.
For therefore, came I forth.
1:39 And he preached
in their synagogues
throughout all Galilee,
and cast out devils.
1:40 And there came a leper to him,
beseeching him,
and kneeling down to him,
and saying unto him,
if thou wilt,
thou canst make me clean.
1:41 And Jesus,
moved with compassion,
put forth his hand and
touched him and saith unto him,
I will;
be thou clean.
1:42 And as soon as he had spoken,
immediately, the leprosy
departed from him,
and he was cleansed.
1:43 And he straitly charged him,
and forthwith sent him away;
1:44 and saith unto him,
see thou say nothing to any man.
But go thy way,
shew thyself to the priest,
and offer for thy cleansing
those things which
Moses commanded,
for a testimony unto them.
1:45 But he went out,
and began to publish it much,
and to blaze abroad the matter,
insomuch that Jesus could
no more openly enter into the
city,
but was without in desert places.
And they came to him,
from every quarter.
Ch. 2 MARK
2:1 And again,
he entered into Capernaum
after some days.
And it was noised that
he was in the house.
2:2 And straightway many were
gathered together,
insomuch that there was
no room to receive them,
no, not so much as about the door.
And he preached the word unto them.
2:3 And they come unto him,
bringing one sick of the palsy,
which was borne, of four.
2:4 And when they could not come
nigh unto him for the press,
they uncovered the roof where he was.
And when they had broken it up,
they let down the bed wherein the
sick of the palsy lay.
2:5 When Jesus saw their faith,
he said unto
the sick of the palsy,
son,
thy sins be forgiven thee.
2:6 But there was certain of the scribes
sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,
2:7 why doth this man (thus) speak blasphemies?
Who can forgive sins but God only?
2:8 And immediately,
when Jesus perceived in his
spirit that they so reasoned
within themselves,
he said unto them,
why reason ye these things
in your hearts?
2:9 Whether is it easier to say to the
sick of the palsy,
thy sins be forgiven thee;
or to say, arise,
and take up thy bed,
and walk?
2:10 But that ye may know that the
Son of man
hath power on earth to forgive sins,
(he saith to the sick of the palsy,)
2:11 I say unto thee,
arise,
and take up thy bed,
and go thy way,
into thine house.
2:12 And immediately he arose,
took up the bed,
and went forth before them all;
insomuch that they were all
amazed,
and glorified God,
saying,
we never saw it on this fashion.
2:13 And he went forth again by the
sea side;
and all the multitude resorted
unto him,
and he taught them.
2:14 And as he passed by,
he saw Levi,
the son of Alphaeus,
sitting at the receipt of custom,
and said unto him,
follow me.
And he arose and followed him.
2:15 And it came to pass,
that as Jesus sat at meat in
his house,
many publicans and sinners
sat also together with
Jesus and his disciples.
For there were many,
and they followed him.
2:16 And when the scribes
and Pharisees saw him eat
with publicans and sinners
they said unto his disciples,
how is it that he eateth
and drinketh with
publicans and sinners?
2:17 When Jesus heard it,
he saith unto them,
they that are whole have
no need of the physician,
but they that are sick.
I came not to call the righteous,
but sinners to repentance.
2:18 And the disciples of John
and of the Pharisees
used to fast.
And they come and say unto him,
why do the disciples of John
and of the Pharisees fast,
but thy disciples fast not?
2:19 And Jesus said unto them,
can the children of the
bride chamber fast,
while the bridegroom is
with them?
As long as they have the
bridegroom with them,
they cannot fast.
2:20 But the days will come
when the bridegroom
shall be taken away from them.
And then, shall they fast
in those days.
2:21 No man also seweth
a piece of new cloth on
an old garment.
Else the new piece, that
filled it up,
taketh away from the old,
and the rent is made worse.
2:22 And no man putteth
new wine into old bottles.
Else the new wine doth
burst the bottles,
and the wine is spilled,
and the bottles will be marred.
But new wine must
be put into new bottles.
2:23 And it came to pass,
that he went through the
corn fields on the Sabbath day;
and his disciples began,
as they went,
to pluck the ears of corn.
2:24 And the Pharisees
said unto him,
behold,
why do they,
on the Sabbath day,
that which is not lawful?
2:25 And he said unto them,
have ye never read what David did,
when he had need,
and was an hungered,
he, and they that were with him?
2:26 How he went into the
house of God
in the days of Abiathar,
the high priest,
and did eat the shewbread,
which is not lawful to eat
but for the priests,
and gave also to them
which were with him?
2:27 And he said unto them,
The Sabbath was made for man,
and not man for the Sabbath.
2:28 Therefore,
the Son of man is Lord,
also, of the Sabbath.
Ch.3 Mark
3:1 And he entered again
into the synagogue;
and there was a man there
which had a withered hand.
3:2 And they watched him,
whether he would heal him
on the Sabbath day;
that they might accuse him.
3:3 And he saith unto the man which
had the withered hand,
stand forth.
3:4 And he saith unto them,
is it lawful to do good
on the Sabbath days,
or to do evil?
To save life, or to kill?
But they held their peace.
3:5 And when he had looked round
about on them with anger,
being grieved for the
hardness of their hearts,
he saith unto the man,
stretch forth thine hand.
And he stretched it out;
and his hand was restored,
whole as the other.
3:6 And the Pharisees went forth,
and straightway took counsel with the
Herodians against him,
how they might destroy him.
3:7 But Jesus withdrew himself,
with his disciples, to the sea.
And a great multitude from
Galilee followed him,
and from Judea,
3:8 and from Jerusalem,
and from Idumaea,
and from beyond Jordan;
and they about Tyre and Sidon,
a great multitude,
when they had heard what great
things he did, came unto him.
3:9 And he spake to his disciples,
that a small ship
should wait on him,
because of the multitude,
lest they should throng him.
3:10 For he had healed many
insomuch that they
pressed upon him for to
touch him,
as many as had plagues.
3:11 And unclean spirits,
when they saw him,
fell down before him,
and cried, saying,
Thou art the Son of God.
3:12 And he straitly charged them,
that they should not
make him known.
3:13 And he goeth up into a mountain,
and calleth unto him whom he would.
And they came unto him.
3:14 And he ordained twelve,
that they should be with him,
and that he might send them forth
to preach,
3:15 and to have power to heal sicknesses,
and to cast out devils.
3:16 And Simon he surnamed Peter;
3:17 And James, the son of Zebedee,
and John the brother of James;
and he surnamed them Boanerges,
which is, the sons of thunder.
3:18 And Andrew, and Philip,
and Bartholomew,
and Matthew, and Thomas,
and James the son of Alphaeus,
and Thaddaeus,
and Simon the Canaanite,
3:19 and Judas Iscariot,
which also betrayed him.
And they went into an house.
3:20 And the multitude cometh
together again,
so that they could not
so much as eat bread.
3:21 And when his friends heard of it,
they went out to lay hold on him.
For they said, He is beside himself.
3:22 And the scribes which
came down from Jerusalem said,
He hath Beelzebub,
and by the prince of the devils,
casteth he out devils.
3:23 And he called them unto him,
and said unto them in parables,
how can Satan cast out Satan?
3:24 And if a kingdom be
divided against itself,
that kingdom cannot stand.
3:25 And if a house be
divided against itself,
that house cannot stand.
3:26 And if Satan rise up
against himself,
and be divided,
he cannot stand,
but hath an end.
3:27 No man can enter into a
strong man's house,
and spoil his goods,
except he will first bind
the strong man;
and then he will spoil his house.
3:28 Verily I say unto you,
all sins shall be
forgiven unto the sons of men,
and blasphemies wherewith
so ever they shall blaspheme.
3:29 But he that shall blaspheme
against the Holy Ghost,
hath never forgiveness,
but is in danger of eternal damnation.
3:30 Because they said,
He hath an unclean spirit.
3:31 There came then his
brethren and his mother,
and, standing without
sent unto him, calling him.
3:32 And the multitude sat about him,
and they said unto him,
behold, thy mother
and thy brethren without,
seek for thee.
3:33 And he answered them
saying,
who is my mother,
or my brethren?
3:34 And he looked round about
on them which
sat about him, and said,
behold my mother
and my brethren!
3:35 For whosoever shall do
the will of God,
the same is my brother,
and my sister, and mother.
Ch. 4 Mark
4:1 And he began again to teach
by the sea side.
And there was gathered unto him a
great multitude,
so that he entered into a ship,
and sat in the sea;
and the whole multitude was
by the sea on the land.
4:2 And he taught them
many things by parables,
and said unto them in his doctrine,
4:3 hearken; behold,
there went out a sower to sow.
4:4 And it came to pass
as he sowed, some fell by
the way side,
and the fowls of the air
came and devoured it up.
4:5 And some fell on stony ground,
where it had not much
earth;
and immediately it sprang up,
because it had no depth of earth.
4:6 But when the sun was up
it was scorched;
and because it had no root,
it withered away.
4:7 And some fell among thorns,
and the thorns grew up
and choked it,
and it yielded no fruit.
4:8 And other fell on good ground
and did yield fruit that
sprang up and increased;
and brought forth,
some thirty, and some sixty,
and some an hundred.
4:9 And he said unto them,
he that hath ears to hear,
let him hear.
4:10 And when he was alone,
they that were about him
with the twelve,
asked of him the parable.
4:11 And he said unto them,
unto you it is given to
know the mystery of the
kingdom of God.
But unto them that are without,
all these things are done in parables.
4:12 That seeing they may see,
and not perceive;
and hearing they may hear,
and not understand;
lest at any time they should
be converted,
and their sins should be
forgiven them.
4:13 And he said unto them,
know ye not this parable?
And how then will ye
know all parables?
4:14 The sower soweth the word.
4:15 And these are they by the
way side,
where the word is sown;
but when they have heard,
Satan cometh immediately,
and taketh away the word,
that was sown in their hearts.
4:16 And these are they likewise
which are sown on stony ground;
who,
when they have heard the word
immediately receive it with gladness;
4:17 and have no root in themselves,
and so endure but for a time.
Afterward,
when affliction or persecution
ariseth for the word's sake,
immediately they are offended.
4:18 And these are they which are
sown among thorns;
such as hear the word,
4:19 and the cares of this world,
and the deceitfulness of riches,
and the lusts of other things entering in,
choke the word,
and it becometh unfruitful.
4:20 And these are they which are
sown on good ground;
such as hear the word
and receive it,
and bring forth fruit,
some thirty fold, some sixty,
and some an hundred.
4:21 And he said unto them,
is a candle brought to be
put under a bushel,
or under a bed?
And not to be set on a candlestick?
4:22 For there is nothing hid,
which shall not be manifested;
neither was any thing kept secret,
but that it should come abroad.
4:23 If any man have ears to hear,
let him hear.
4:24 And he said unto them,
take heed what ye hear.
With what measure ye mete,
it shall be measured to you.
And unto you that hear,
shall more be given.
4:25 For he that hath,
to him shall be given.
And he that hath not,
from him, shall be taken,
even that which he hath.
4:26 And he said,
so is the kingdom of God,
as if a man should
cast seed into the ground;
4:27 and should sleep,
and rise night and day,
and the seed should spring
and grow up,
he knoweth not how.
4:28 For the earth bringeth forth
fruit of herself;
first the blade, then the ear,
after that the full corn in the ear.
4:29 But when the fruit is brought forth,
immediately he putteth in the sickle,
because the harvest is come.
4:30 And he said,
whereunto shall we liken the
kingdom of God?
Or with what comparison shall we
compare it?
4:31 It is like a grain of
mustard seed, which,
when it is sown in the earth,
is less than all the seeds that
be in the earth.
4:32 But when it is sown, it groweth up,
and becometh greater than all herbs,
and shooteth out great branches;
so that the fowls of the air
may lodge under the shadow of it.
4:33 And with many such parables
spake he the word unto them,
as they were able to hear it.
4:34 But without a parable spake he
not unto them.
And when they were alone,
he expounded all things
to his disciples.
4:35 And the same day,
when the even was come
he saith unto them,
let us pass over unto the
other side.
4:36 And when they had sent away
the multitude,
they took him even as he was,
in the ship.
And there were also with him,
other little ships.
4:37 And there arose a great storm
of wind,
and the waves beat into the ship,
so that it was now full.
4:38 And he was in the
hinder part of the ship,
asleep on a pillow.
And they awake him
and say unto him,
Master, carest thou not that
we perish?
4:39 And he arose,
and rebuked the wind,
and said unto the sea,
peace, be still.
And the wind ceased,
and there was a great calm.
4:40 And he said unto them,
why are ye so fearful?
How is it that ye have no faith?
4:41 And they feared exceedingly,
and said one to another,
what manner of man is this,
that even the wind and the
sea obey him?
Ch. 5 Mark
5:1 And they came over unto the
other side of the sea,
into the country of the
Gadarenes.
5:2 And when he was come out of
the ship,
immediately, there met him out of
the tombs,
a man with an unclean spirit,
5:3 who had his dwelling
among the tombs;
and no man could bind him,
no, not with chains.
5:4 Because,
that he had been often
bound with fetters and chains,
and the chains had been
plucked asunder by him,
and the fetters broken in pieces.
Neither could any man tame him.
5:5 And always, night and day,
he was in the mountains,
and in the tombs crying,
and cutting himself
with stones.
5:6 But when he saw Jesus afar off,
he ran, and worshipped him,
5:7 and
cried with a loud voice and said,
what have I to do with thee,
Jesus,
thou Son of the most high
God?
I adjure thee by God,
that thou torment me not.
5:8 For he said unto him,
come out of the man,
thou unclean spirit.
5:9 And he asked him,
what is thy name?
And he answered,
saying,
my name is Legion.
For we are many.
5:10 And he besought him much,
that he would not send them
away out of the country.
5:11 Now there was there,
nigh unto the mountains,
a great herd of swine feeding.
5:12 And all the devils
besought him, saying,
send us into the swine,
that we may enter into them.
5:13 And forthwith,
Jesus gave them leave.
And the unclean spirits went out,
and entered into the swine.
And the herd ran violently down
a steep place, into the sea,
(they were about two thousand;)
and were choked, in the sea.
5:14 And they that fed the swine fled,
and told it in the city,
and in the country.
And they went out to see what it was
that was done.
5:15 And they come to Jesus,
and see him that was possessed
with the devil,
and had the legion,
sitting and clothed,
and in his right mind.
And they were afraid.
5:16 And they that saw it,
told them how it befell to him
that was possessed with the devil,
and also concerning the swine.
5:17 And they began to pray him to
depart, out of their coasts.
5:18 And when he was come into the ship,
he that had been possessed with the devil,
prayed him that he might be with him.
5:19 Howbeit Jesus suffered him not
but saith unto him,
go home to thy friends,
and tell them how
great things the Lord hath
done for thee,
and hath had compassion on thee.
5:20 And he departed,
and began to publish in Decapolis,
how great things Jesus had
done for him.
And all men did marvel.
5:21 And when Jesus was passed over
again by ship,
unto the other side,
much people gathered unto him.
And he was nigh unto the sea.
5:22 And behold,
there cometh one of the
rulers of the synagogue,
Jairus by name;
and when he saw him,
he fell at his feet,
5:23 and
besought him greatly saying,
my little daughter lieth at the
point of death.
I pray thee, come and lay thy
hands on her,
that she may be healed;
and she shall live.
5:24 And Jesus went with him;
and much people followed him,
and thronged him.
5:25 And a certain woman,
which had an issue of
blood twelve years,
5:26 and had suffered many things
of many physicians,
and had spent all that she had,
and was nothing bettered,
but rather grew worse;
5:27 when she (had) heard of Jesus,
came in the press behind,
and touched his garment.
5:28 For she said,
if I may touch but his clothes,
I shall be whole.
5:29 And straightway,
the fountain of her blood was dried up;
and she felt in her body,
that she was healed of that plague.
5:30 And Jesus,
immediately knowing in himself that
virtue had gone out of him,
turned him about in the press,
and said,
who touched my clothes?
5:31 And his disciples said unto him,
Thou seest the multitude
thronging thee,
and sayest thou, who touched me?
5:32 And he looked round about to
see her that had done this thing.
5:33 But the woman,
fearing and trembling,
knowing what was done in her,
came and fell down before him,
and told him all the truth.
5:34 And he said unto her,
daughter,
thy faith hath made thee whole;
go in peace,
and be whole of thy plague.
5:35 While he yet spake,
there came from the ruler of the
synagogue's house certain which said,
thy daughter is dead.
Why troublest thou
the Master any further?
5:36 As soon as Jesus heard the
word that was spoken,
he saith unto the ruler of the
synagogue,
be not afraid, only believe.
5:37 And he suffered no man to
follow him, save
Peter, and James, and John,
the brother of James.
5:38 And he cometh to the
house of the
ruler of the synagogue,
and seeth the tumult,
and them that wept
and wailed greatly.
5:39 And when he was come in he
saith unto them,
why make ye this ado, and weep?
The damsel is not dead, but sleepeth.
5:40 And they laughed him to scorn.
But when he had put them all out,
he taketh the father
and the mother of the damsel,
and them that were with him,
and entereth in(to) where the
damsel was lying.
5:41 And he took the damsel by the hand,
and said unto her,
talitha cumi;
which is, being interpreted,
damsel, I say unto thee, arise.
5:42 And straightway
the damsel arose, and walked;
for she was of the age of twelve years.
And they were astonished with a
great astonishment.
5:43 And he charged them straitly,
that no man should know it;
and commanded that
something should be given her to eat.
Ch. 6 Mark
6:1 And he went out from thence,
and came into his own country.
And his disciples follow him.
6:2 And when the Sabbath day was come,
he began to teach in the synagogue.
And many hearing him were astonished,
saying,
from whence hath this man these things?
And what wisdom is this,
which is given unto him,
that even such mighty works are
wrought by his hands?
6:3 Is not this the carpenter,
the son of Mary,
the brother of James, and Joses,
and of Juda, and Simon?
And are not his sisters here with us?
And they were offended at him.
6:4 But Jesus said unto them,
a prophet is not without honor,
but in his own country,
and among his own kin,
and in his own house.
6:5 And he could there do no
mighty work,
save that he laid his hands
upon a few sick folk and
healed them.
6:6 And he marveled because of
their unbelief.
And he went round about the
villages, teaching.
6:7 And he called unto him the twelve,
and began to send them forth
by two, and two;
and gave them power over
unclean spirits;
6:8 and
commanded them that they should
take nothing for their journey,
save a staff only.
No scrip, no bread,
no money in their purse.
6:9 But be shod with sandals;
and not put on two coats.
6:10 And he said unto them,
in what place so ever ye
enter into an house,
there abide till ye
depart from that place.
6:11 And whosoever shall
not receive you, nor hear you,
when ye depart thence,
shake off the dust, under your
feet,
for a testimony against them.
Verily I say unto you,
it shall be more tolerable for
Sodom and Gomorrha,
in the day of judgment,
than for that city.
6:12 And they went out,
and preached that
men should repent.
6:13 And they cast out many devils,
and anointed with oil many that
were sick, and healed them.
6:14 And king Herod heard of him;
(for his name was spread abroad);
And he said that John the Baptist
was risen from the dead, and therefore,
mighty works do shew forth themselves
in him.
6:15 Others said, that it is Elias.
And others said, that it is a prophet,
or as one of the prophets.
6:16 But when Herod heard thereof
he said,
it is John whom I beheaded.
He is risen from the dead.
6:17 For Herod himself had sent forth,
and laid hold upon John,
and bound him in prison for
Herodias' sake,
his brother Philip's wife.
For he had married her.
6:18 For John had said unto Herod,
it is not lawful for thee to have
thy brother's wife.
6:19 Therefore
Herodias had a quarrel against him,
and would have killed him;
but she could not.
6:20 For Herod feared John,
knowing that he was a
just man, and an holy,
and observed him;
And when he heard him,
he did many things,
and heard him gladly.
6:21 And when a convenient day
was come,
that Herod on his birthday
made a supper, to his lords,
high captains, and chief estates
of Galilee;
6:22 and
when the daughter of
the said Herodias came in
and danced,
and pleased Herod;
and them that sat with him,
the king said unto the damsel,
ask of me whatsoever thou wilt,
and I will give it thee.
6:23 And he sware unto her,
whatsoever thou shalt ask of me,
I will give it thee,
unto the half of my kingdom.
6:24 And she went forth,
and said unto her mother,
what shall I ask?
And she said,
the head of John the Baptist.
6:25 And she came in straightway,
with haste unto the king
and asked saying,
I will that thou give me,
by and by in a charger,
the head of John the Baptist.
6:26 And the king was exceeding sorry;
yet for his oath's sake,
and for their sakes which
sat with him,
he would not reject her.
6:27 And immediately,
the king sent an executioner,
and commanded his
head to be brought.
And he went and beheaded him,
in the prison,
6:28 and
brought his head in a charger,
and gave it to the damsel.
And the damsel gave it to her mother.
6:29 And when his disciples heard of it,
they came and took up his corpse,
and laid it in a tomb.
6:30 And the apostles gathered
themselves together unto Jesus,
and told him all things,
both what they had done,
and what they had taught.
6:31 And he said unto them,
come ye yourselves apart,
into a desert place,
and rest a while.
For there were many
coming and going,
and they had no leisure so much
as to eat.
6:32 And they departed, into a
desert place, by ship privately.
6:33 And the people saw them
departing,
and many knew him,
and ran afoot thither,
out of all cities.
And out went them,
and came together unto him.
6:34 And Jesus,
when he came out,
saw much people
and was moved with
compassion toward them,
because they were as sheep,
not having a shepherd.
And he began to
teach them many things.
6:35 And when the day was now far spent,
his disciples came unto him and said,
this is a desert place,
and now the time is far passed.
6:36 Send them away,
that they may go into the
country round about,
and into the villages,
and buy themselves bread.
For they have nothing to eat.
6:37 He answered and
said unto them,
give ye them to eat.
And they say unto him,
shall we go and buy two hundred
pennyworth of bread,
and give them to eat?
6:38 He saith unto them,
how many loaves have ye?
Go, and see.
And when they knew they say,
five, and two fishes.
6:39 And he commanded them to make
all sit down by companies,
upon the green grass.
6:40 And they sat down in ranks,
by hundreds, and by fifties.
6:41 And when he had taken the
five loaves and the two fishes
he looked up to heaven,
and blessed, and brake the loaves,
and gave them to his disciples to
set before them.
And the two fishes divided he
among them all.
6:42 And they did all eat,
and were filled.
6:43 And they took up twelve baskets,
full of the fragments,
and of the fishes.
6:44 And they that did eat of the loaves
were about five thousand men.
6:45 And straightway,
he constrained his disciples to
get into the ship,
and to go to the other side before,
unto Bethsaida,
while he sent away the people.
6:46 And when he had sent them away,
he departed into a mountain to pray.
6:47 And when even was come,
the ship was in the midst of the sea,
and he alone on the land.
6:48 And he saw them toiling in rowing;
for the wind was contrary unto them.
And about the fourth watch of the night,
he cometh unto them,
walking upon the sea,
and would have passed by them.
6:49 But when they saw him
walking upon the sea,
they supposed it had been
a spirit, and cried out.
6:50 For they all saw him,
and were troubled.
And immediately he
talked with them,
and saith unto them,
be of good cheer.
It is I; be not afraid.
6:51 And he went up unto them,
into the ship;
and the wind ceased.
And they were sore amazed
in themselves beyond measure,
and wondered.
6:52 For they considered not,
the miracle of the loaves.
For their heart was hardened.
6:53 And when they had passed over,
they came into the land of
Gennesaret,
and drew to the shore.
6:54 And when they were
come out of the ship,
straightway;
they knew him,
6:55 and
ran through that whole region
round about,
and began to carry about in beds,
those that were sick,
where they heard he was.
6:56 And whithersoever he entered
into villages, or cities, or country,
they laid the sick in the streets,
and besought him,
that they might touch, if it were,
but the border of his garment.
And as many as touched him were
made whole.
Ch. 7 Mark
7:1 Then came together unto him
the Pharisees, and certain of the
scribes which came from Jerusalem.
7:2 And when they saw some of his
disciples eat bread with defiled,
that is to say with unwashen hands,
they found fault.
7:3 For the Pharisees and all the Jews,
except they wash their hands oft,
eat not,
holding the tradition of the elders.
7:4 And when they come from
the market, except they wash,
they eat not.
And many other things there be,
which they have received to hold,
as the washing of cups, and pots,
brasen vessels, and of tables.
7:5 Then the Pharisees and scribes
asked him,
why walk not thy disciples according
to the tradition of the elders,
but eat bread with
unwashen hands?
7:6 He answered and said unto them,
well hath Esaias prophesied of you
hypocrites,
as it is written,
This people honoureth me with
their lips,
but their heart is far from me.
7:7 Howbeit in vain do they
worship me,
teaching for doctrines
the commandments of men.
7:8 For laying aside the
commandment of God,
ye hold the tradition of men,
as the washing of pots, and cups.
And many other such like things ye do.
7:9 And he said unto them,
full well ye reject the
commandment of God,
that ye may keep your
own tradition.
7:10 For Moses said,
honor thy father and thy mother;
and whoso curseth, father or mother,
let him die the death.
7:11 But ye say, if a man shall say to his
father or mother, it is Corban,
that is to say, a gift,
by whatsoever thou mightest
be profited by me;
he shall be free.
7:12 And ye suffer him no more to do
ought for his father or his mother;
7:13 making the word of God of none effect
through your tradition,
which ye have delivered.
And many such like things do ye.
7:14 And when he had called all the
people unto him
he said unto them,
hearken unto me
every one of you, and understand.
7:15 There is nothing from without a man,
that entering into him can defile him.
But the things which come out of him,
those are they that defile the man.
7:16 If any man have ears to hear,
let him hear.
7:17 And when he was entered
into the house from the people,
his disciples asked
him concerning the parable.
7:18 And he saith unto them,
are ye so without
understanding also?
Do ye not perceive,
that whatsoever thing
from without entereth into
the man, it cannot defile him;
7:19 because it entereth not into
his heart, but into the belly,
and goeth out, into the draught,
purging all meats?
7:20 And he said,
that which cometh
out of the man,
that defileth the man.
7:21 For from within,
out of the heart of men,
proceed evil thoughts,
adulteries, fornications,
murders,
7:22 thefts, covetousness,
wickedness, deceit,
lasciviousness,
an evil eye, blasphemy,
pride, foolishness.
7:23 All these evil things come
from within,
and defile the man.
7:24 And from thence he arose,
and went into the
borders of Tyre, and Sidon,
and entered into an house;
and would have no man know it.
But he could not be hid.
7:25 For a certain woman,
whose young daughter had an
unclean spirit, heard of him,
and came, and fell at his feet.
7:26 The woman was a Greek,
a Syrophenician by nation;
and she besought him that
he would cast forth the devil
out of her daughter.
7:27 But Jesus said unto her,
let the children first be filled.
For it is not meet to take the
children's bread,
and to cast it unto the dogs.
7:28 And she answered
and said unto him,
yes, Lord.
Yet, the dogs under the table
eat of the children's crumbs.
7:29 And he said unto her,
for this saying, go thy way;
the devil is gone out of thy daughter.
7:30 And when she was come to her house,
she found the devil gone out,
and her daughter laid upon the bed.
7:31 And again,
departing from the coasts of
Tyre and Sidon,
he came unto the sea of
Galilee, through the midst of
the coasts of Decapolis.
7:32 And they bring unto him
one that was deaf,
and had an impediment in his
speech;
and they beseech him to put his
hand upon him.
7:33 And he took him aside from the
multitude,
and put his fingers into his ears,
and he spit, and touched his tongue;
7:34 and looking up to heaven,
he sighed,
and saith unto him,
Ephphatha, that is,
Be opened.
7:35 And straightway,
his ears were opened,
and the string of his tongue
was loosed,
and he spake plain.
7:36 And he charged them,
that they should tell no man.
But the more he charged them,
so much the more, a great deal,
they published it;
7:37 and
were beyond measure
astonished, saying,
He hath done all things well.
He maketh both the deaf to hear,
and the dumb to speak.
Ch. 8 Mark
8:1 In those days,
the multitude being very
great,
and having nothing to eat,
Jesus called his disciples
unto him and saith
unto them,
8:2 I have compassion on the
multitude,
because they have now been
with me three days,
and have nothing to eat.
8:3 And if I send them away fasting,
to their own houses,
they will faint by the way.
For divers of them came from far.
8:4 And his disciples answered him,
from whence can a man satisfy
these men with
bread here in the wilderness?
8:5 And he asked them,
how many loaves have ye?
And they said, seven.
8:6 And he commanded the
people to sit down on
the ground.
And he took the seven loaves,
and gave thanks, and brake,
and gave to his disciples to
set before them.
And they did set them before
the people.
8:7 And they had a few small fishes.
And he blessed,
and commanded to
set them also before them.
8:8 So they did eat, and were filled.
And they took up of the broken
meat that was left,
seven baskets.
8:9 And they that had eaten,
were about four thousand.
And he sent them away.
8:10 And straightway,
he entered into a ship with
his disciples,
and came into the parts
of Dalmanutha.
8:11 And the Pharisees came forth,
and began to question with him,
seeking of him a sign from heaven,
tempting him.
8:12 And he sighed deeply in his spirit,
and saith,
why doth this generation
seek after a sign?
verily I say unto you,
there shall no sign be
given unto this generation.
8:13 And he left them,
and entering into the ship again,
departed to the other side.
8:14 Now the disciples had
forgotten to take bread,
neither had they in the
ship with them,
more than one loaf.
8:15 And he charged them,
saying,
take heed,
beware of the leaven of the
Pharisees,
and of the leaven of Herod.
8:16 And they reasoned among
themselves saying,
it is because we have no bread.
8:17 And when Jesus knew it,
he saith unto them,
why reason ye,
because ye have no bread?
Perceive ye not yet,
neither understand?
Have ye your heart yet hardened?
8:18 Having eyes, see ye not?
And having ears, hear ye not?
And do ye not remember?
8:19 When I brake the
five loaves among five thousand,
how many baskets full of
fragments took ye up?
They say unto him, twelve.
8:20 And when the seven among
four thousand,
how many baskets full of
fragments took ye up?
And they said, seven.
8:21 And he said unto them,
how is it that ye
do not understand?
8:22 And he cometh to Bethsaida;
and they bring a blind man unto him,
and besought him to touch him.
8:23 And he took the blind man
by the hand,
and led him out of the town;
and when he had spit on his eyes,
and put his hands upon him,
he asked him if he saw ought.
8:24 And he looked up, and said,
I see men as trees, walking.
8:25 After that, he put his hands
again upon his eyes,
and made him look up.
And he was restored,
and saw every man clearly.
8:26 And he sent him away to his
house, saying,
neither go into the town,
nor tell it to any in the town.
8:27 And Jesus went out, and his disciples,
into the towns of Caesarea Philippi.
And by the way he asked his disciples,
saying unto them,
whom do men say that I am?
8:28 And they answered,
John the Baptist;
but some say, Elias;
and others,
one of the prophets.
8:29 And he saith unto them,
but whom say ye that I am?
And Peter answereth,
and saith unto him,
Thou art the Christ.
8:30 And he charged them,
that they should tell no man of him.
8:31 And he began to teach them,
that the Son of man must
suffer many things,
and be rejected of the elders,
and of the chief priests and scribes,
and be killed,
and after three days, rise again.
8:32 And he spake that
saying openly,
and Peter took him,
and began to rebuke him.
8:33 But when he had turned about,
and looked on his disciples,
he rebuked Peter, saying,
get thee behind me, Satan.
For thou savourest not the
things that be of God,
but the things that be of men.
8:34 And when he had called
the people unto him,
with his disciples also,
he said unto them,
whosoever will come
after me,
let him deny himself,
and take up his cross,
and follow me.
8:35 For whosoever will
save his life shall lose it;
but whosoever shall
lose his life for my sake,
and the gospel's,
the same shall save it.
8:36 For what shall it profit a man,
if he shall gain the whole world,
and lose his own soul?
8:37 Or what shall a man give.
in exchange for his soul?
8:38 Whosoever therefore,
shall be ashamed of me,
and of my words,
in this adulterous,
and sinful generation;
of him also,
shall the Son of man be ashamed,
when he cometh,
in the glory of his Father,
with the holy angels.
Ch. 9 Mark
9:1 And he said unto them,
verily I say unto you,
that there be some of them
that stand here,
which shall not taste of death
till they have seen the
kingdom of God, come,
with power.
9:2 And after six days Jesus
taketh with him Peter,
and James, and John,
and leadeth them up into an high
mountain apart by themselves.
And he was transfigured before them.
9:3 And his raiment became shining,
exceeding white as snow;
so as no fuller on earth can
white them.
9:4 And there appeared unto them,
Elias with Moses.
And they were talking with Jesus.
9:5 And Peter answered and said to Jesus,
Master, it is good for us to be here.
And let us make three tabernacles;
one for thee, and one for Moses,
and one for Elias.
9:6 For he wist not what to say;
for they were sore afraid.
9:7 And there was a cloud that
overshadowed them.
And a voice came out of the cloud,
saying,
This is my beloved Son.
Hear him.
9:8 And suddenly,
when they had looked round about,
they saw no man any more
save Jesus only with themselves.
9:9 And as they came down from the
mountain he charged them,
that they should tell no man what
things they had seen,
till the Son of man were risen
from the dead.
9:10 And they kept that saying
with themselves,
questioning one with another
what the rising from the
dead should mean.
9:11 And they asked him,
saying,
why say the scribes that
Elias must first come?
9:12 And he answered and
told them,
Elias verily cometh first,
and restoreth all things;
and how it is written of the
Son of man
that he must suffer many things,
and be set at naught.
9:13 But I say unto you,
that Elias is indeed come,
and they have done unto him
whatsoever they listed,
as it is written of him.
9:14 And when he came to
his disciples,
he saw a great multitude
about them,
and the scribes questioning
with them.
9:15 And straightway,
all the people,
when they beheld him,
were greatly amazed,
and running to him,
saluted him.
9:16 And he asked the scribes,
what question ye with them?
9:17 And one of the multitude
answered and said,
Master,
I have brought unto thee my son,
which hath a dumb spirit;
9:18 And wheresoever he
taketh him, he teareth him.
And he foameth,
and gnasheth with his teeth,
and pineth away.
And I spake to thy disciples,
that they should
cast him out;
and they could not.
9:19 He answereth him, and saith,
O faithless generation,
how long shall I be with you?
How long shall I suffer you?
Bring him unto me.
9:20 And they brought him unto him.
And when he saw him,
straightway the spirit tare him;
and he fell on the ground,
and wallowed foaming.
9:21 And he asked his father,
how long is it ago since
this came unto him?
And he said, of a child.
9:22 And oft times it hath
cast him into the fire,
and into the waters,
to destroy him.
But if thou canst do any thing,
have compassion on us,
and help us.
9:23 Jesus said unto him,
if thou canst believe,
all things are possible to him
that believeth.
9:24 And straightway
the father of the child cried out,
and said, with tears,
Lord, I believe;
help thou mine unbelief.
9:25 When Jesus saw that the
people came running together,
he rebuked the foul spirit,
saying unto him,
thou dumb and deaf spirit
I charge thee,
come out of him,
and enter no more into him.
9:26 And the spirit cried,
and rent him sore,
and came out of him.
And he was as one dead;
insomuch that many said,
he is dead.
9:27 But Jesus took him by the hand,
and lifted him up and he arose.
9:28 And when he was come into the house,
his disciples asked him privately,
why could not we cast him out?
9:29 And he said unto them,
this kind can come forth by nothing,
but by prayer and fasting.
9:30 And they departed thence,
and passed through Galilee;
and he would not that
any man should know it.
9:31 For he taught his disciples,
and said unto them,
The Son of man is
delivered into the hands of men,
and they shall kill him;
and after that he is killed,
he shall rise the third day.
9:32 But they understood not
that saying,
and were afraid to ask him.
9:33 And he came to Capernaum.
And being in the house he asked them,
what was it that ye disputed
among yourselves by the way?
9:34 But they held their peace.
For by the way they had
disputed among themselves,
who should be the greatest.
9:35 And he sat down,
and called the twelve,
and saith unto them,
if any man desire to be first,
the same shall be last of all,
and servant of all.
9:36 And he took a child,
and set him in the midst of them.
And when he had taken him
in his arms,
he said unto them,
9:37 who so ever shall receive one of such
children in my name,
receiveth me.
And who so ever shall receive me,
receiveth not me,
but him, that sent me.
9:38 And John answered
him saying,
Master,
we saw one casting out
devils in thy name,
and he followeth not us.
And we forbad him, because he
followeth not us.
9:39 But Jesus said,
forbid him not.
For there is no man which shall
do a miracle in my name,
that can lightly speak evil of me.
9:40 For he that is not
against us is on our part.
9:41 For whosoever shall give you a
cup of water to drink
in my name,
because ye belong to Christ,
verily I say unto you,
he shall not lose his reward.
9:42 And whosoever shall offend
one of these little ones,
that believe in me,
it is better for him that a
millstone were hanged about his neck,
and he were cast into the sea.
9:43 And if thy hand offend thee,
cut it off.
It is better for thee to enter into
life maimed,
than having two hands,
to go into hell, into the fire,
that never shall be quenched.
9:44 Where their worm dieth not,
and the fire is not quenched.
9:45 And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off:
It is better for thee to enter halt,
into life,
than having two feet,
to be cast into hell,
into the fire that never
shall be quenched.
9:46 Where their worm dieth not,
and the fire is not quenched.
9:47 And if thine eye offend thee,
pluck it out.
It is better for thee to enter into the
kingdom of God with one eye,
than having two eyes
to be cast into hell fire.
9:48 Where their worm dieth not,
and the fire is not quenched.
9:49 For every one shall be
salted with fire,
and every sacrifice shall be
salted with salt.
9:50 Salt is good.
But if the salt,
have lost his saltness,
wherewith will ye season it?
Have salt in yourselves, and have peace,
one with another.
Ch. 10 Mark
10:1 And he arose from thence,
and cometh into the
coasts of Judaea by the
farther side of Jordan.
And the people resort unto
him again;
and, as he was wont,
he taught them again.
10:2 And the Pharisees came to him
and asked him,
is it lawful for a man to
put away his wife?
Tempting him.
10:3 And he answered and said unto them,
what did Moses command you?
10:4 And they said,
Moses suffered to write a bill of
divorcement,
and to put her away.
10:5 And Jesus answered and
said unto them,
for the hardness of your heart he
wrote you this precept.
10:6 But from the beginning of the creation,
God made them male and female.
10:7 For this cause shall a man
leave his father and mother,
and cleave to his wife.
10:8 And they twain shall be one flesh.
So then they are no more twain,
but one flesh.
10:9 What therefore God hath
joined together,
let not man, put asunder.
10:10 And in the house,
his disciples asked him again,
of the same matter.
10:11 And he saith unto them,
whosoever shall put away his wife,
and marry another,
committeth adultery against her.
10:12 And if a woman shall put away
her husband,
and be married to another,
she committeth adultery.
10:13 And they brought young
children to him,
that he should touch them.
And his disciples rebuked
those that brought them.
10:14 But when Jesus saw it,
he was much displeased,
and said unto them,
suffer the little children to
come unto me,
and forbid them not.
For of such is the
kingdom of God.
10:15 Verily I say unto you,
whosoever shall not receive the
kingdom of God as a little child,
he shall not enter therein.
10:16 And he took them up in his arms,
put his hands upon them,
and blessed them.
10:17 And when he was
gone forth into the way,
there came one running,
and kneeled to him,
and asked him,
Good Master,
what shall I do that I may
inherit eternal life?
10:18 And Jesus said unto him,
why callest thou me good?
There is none good but one,
that is, God.
10:19 Thou knowest the
commandments,
do not commit adultery,
do not kill, do not steal,
do not bear false witness,
defraud not,
honor thy father and mother.
10:20 And he answered
and said unto him,
Master, all these have I
observed from my youth.
10:21 Then Jesus beholding him,
loved him, and said unto him,
one thing thou lackest.
Go thy way,
sell whatsoever thou hast,
and give to the poor,
and thou shalt have
treasure in heaven.
And come, take up the cross,
and follow me.
10:22 And he was sad at that saying,
and went away grieved.
For he had great possessions.
10:23 And Jesus looked round about,
and saith unto his disciples,
how hardly shall they
that have riches,
enter into the kingdom of God!
10:24 And the disciples were
astonished at his words.
But Jesus answereth again,
and saith unto them,
children, how hard is it for them
that trust in riches,
to enter into the kingdom of God!
10:25 It is easier for a
camel to go through the
eye of a needle,
than for a rich man,
to enter into the
kingdom of God.
10:26 And they were
astonished out of measure
saying among themselves,
who then can be saved?
10:27 And Jesus
looking upon them saith,
with men, it is impossible,
but not with God.
For with God,
all things are possible.
10:28 Then Peter began to say unto him,
lo, we have left all, and have followed thee.
10:29 And Jesus answered and said,
verily I say unto you,
there is no man that
hath left house, or brethren,
or sisters, or father,
or mother, or wife, or children,
or lands,
for my sake, and the gospel's,
10:30 but
he shall receive an hundredfold,
now, in this time, houses,
and brethren, and sisters,
and mothers, and children,
and lands, with persecutions;
and in the world to come, eternal life.
10:31 But many that are first shall
be last;
and the last first.
10:32 And they were in the way,
going up to Jerusalem.
And Jesus went before them.
And they were amazed.
And as they followed,
they were afraid.
And he took again the twelve,
and began to tell them,
what things should happen unto him,
10:33 saying,
behold,
we go up to Jerusalem;
and the Son of man
shall be delivered unto
the chief priests,
and unto the scribes;
and they shall condemn him
to death,
and shall deliver him to the
Gentiles.
10:34 And they shall mock him,
and shall scourge him,
and shall spit upon him,
and shall kill him.
And the third day,
he shall rise again.
10:35 And James and John,
the sons of Zebedee,
come unto him saying,
Master,
we would that thou
shouldest do for us,
whatsoever we shall desire.
10:36 And he said unto them,
what would ye
that I should do for you?
10:37 They said unto him,
grant unto us, that we may sit,
one on thy right hand,
and the other on thy left hand
in thy glory.
10:38 But Jesus said unto them,
ye know not what ye ask.
Can ye drink of the cup
that I drink of?
And be baptized with
the baptism that I am
baptized with?
10:39 And they said unto him,
we can.
And Jesus said unto them,
ye shall indeed drink of the
cup that I drink of;
and with the baptism
that I am baptized,
shall ye be baptized.
10:40 But to sit on my right hand,
and on my left hand is not
mine to give;
but it shall be given to them
for whom it is prepared.
10:41 And when the ten heard it,
they began to be
much displeased with
James and John.
10:42 But Jesus called them to him
and saith unto them,
ye know that they which
are accounted to rule over the
Gentiles,
exercise lordship over them;
and their great ones,
exercise authority upon them.
10:43 But so shall it not be among you.
But whosoever will be great
among you,
shall be your minister.
10:44 And whosoever of you will be
the chiefest,
shall be servant of all.
10:45 For even the Son of man came
not to be ministered unto,
but to minister,
and to give his life,
a ransom for many.
10:46 And they came to Jericho.
And as he went out of
Jericho with his disciples,
and a great number of people,
blind Bartimaeus,
the son of Timaeus,
sat by the highway side begging.
10:47 And when he heard that
it was Jesus of Nazareth,
he began to cry out and say,
Jesus,
thou son of David,
have mercy on me.
10:48 And many charged him that he
should hold his peace.
But he cried the more a great deal,
Thou son of David, have mercy on me.
10:49 And Jesus stood still, and
commanded him to be called.
And they call the blind man
saying unto him,
be of good comfort,
rise; he calleth thee.
10:50 And he,
casting away his garment,
rose, and came to Jesus.
10:51 And Jesus answered and said unto him,
what dost thou desire
I should do to thee?
The blind man said unto him,
Lord,
that I might receive my sight.
10:52 And Jesus said unto him,
go, thy faith has healed thee.
And immediately he received his sight,
and followed Jesus in the way.
Ch. 11 Mark
11:1 And when they came nigh
to Jerusalem,
unto Bethphage and Bethany,
at the mount of Olives,
he sendeth forth two of his disciples
11:2 and
saith unto them,
go your way into the village
over against you
And as soon as ye be
entered into it,
ye shall find a colt tied,
whereon never man sat;
loose him, and bring him.
11:3 And if any say unto you,
why do ye this?
say ye, that the Lord hath
need of him;
and straightway,
he will send him hither.
11:4 And they went their way
and found the colt
tied by the door without,
in a place where two ways met;
and they loose him.
11:5 And certain of them,
that stood there,
said unto them,
what do ye, loosing the colt?
11:6 And they said unto them,
even as Jesus had commanded.
And they let them go.
11:7 And they brought the colt to Jesus
and cast their garments on him;
and he sat upon him.
11:8 And many spread their garments
in the way.
And others cut down branches off the
trees and strawed them in the way.
11:9 And they that went before,
and they that followed,
cried saying,
Hosanna;
Blessed is he that cometh,
in the name of the Lord.
11:10 Blessed be the kingdom
of our father David,
that cometh,
in the name of the Lord.
Hosanna in the highest.
11:11 And Jesus entered into
Jerusalem,
and into the temple.
And when he had looked
round about upon all things,
and now the eventide was come,
he went out unto Bethany,
with the twelve.
11:12 And on the morrow,
when they were come
from Bethany,
he was hungry.
11:13 And seeing a fig tree afar off
having leaves,
he came, if haply,
he might find any thing thereon.
And when he came to it,
he found nothing but leaves;
for the time of figs was not yet.
11:14 And Jesus answered
and said unto it,
no man eat fruit of thee,
hereafter, for ever.
And his disciples heard it.
11:15 And they come to Jerusalem.
And Jesus went into the temple,
and began to cast out them that
sold and bought in the temple,
and overthrew the tables of the
moneychangers,
and the seats of them that
sold doves;
11:16 and
would not suffer that
any man should carry
any vessel, through the temple.
11:17 And he taught,
saying unto them,
is it not written,
My house shall be called,
of all nations,
the house of prayer?
But ye have made it a
den of thieves.
11:18 And the scribes and
chief priests heard it,
and sought how they might
destroy him.
For they feared him,
because all the people was
astonished at his doctrine.
11:19 And when even was come,
he went out of the city.
11:20 And in the morning,
as they passed by,
they saw the fig tree
dried up from the roots.
11:21 And Peter,
calling to remembrance,
saith unto him,
Master, behold,
the fig tree which thou cursedst,
is withered away.
11:22 And Jesus, answering,
saith unto them,
Have faith in God.
11:23 For verily I say unto you,
that whosoever shall say unto
this mountain,
be thou removed,
and be thou cast into the sea;
and shall not doubt in his heart,
but shall believe that those things
which he saith, shall come to pass;
he shall have what so ever he saith.
11:24 Therefore
I say unto you,
what so ever ye desire,
when ye pray,
believe that ye receive,
and ye shall have.
11:25 And when ye stand praying,
forgive,
if ye have ought against any.
that your Father also,
which is in heaven
may forgive you your trespasses.
11:26 But if ye do not forgive,
neither will your Father,
which is in heaven,
forgive your trespasses.
11:27 And they come again to Jerusalem.
And as he was walking in the temple
there come to him the chief priests,
and the scribes, and the elders,
11:28 and
say unto him,
by what authority
doest thou these things?
And who gave thee this
authority to do these things?
11:29 And Jesus answered,
and said unto them,
I will also ask of you
one question,
and answer me,
and I will tell you by what
authority I do these things.
11:30 The baptism of John,
was it from heaven,
or of men?
Answer me.
11:31 And they reasoned
within themselves,
saying,
if we shall say, from heaven;
he will say,
why then did ye not believe him?
11:32 But if we shall say,
of men; they feared the people.
For all men counted John,
that he was a prophet indeed.
11:33 And they answered and
said unto Jesus,
we cannot tell.
And Jesus answering,
saith unto them,
neither do I tell you
by what authority
I do these things.
Ch. 12 Mark
12:1 And he began to speak unto
them by parables.
A certain man planted a vineyard,
and set an hedge about it,
and digged a place for the winefat,
and built a tower,
and let it out to husbandmen,
and went into a far country.
12:2 And at the season,
he sent to the husbandmen
a servant,
that he might receive from the
husbandmen of the
fruit of the vineyard.
12:3 And they caught him,
and beat him,
and sent him away empty.
12:4 And again,
he sent unto them another
servant;
and at him they cast stones,
and wounded him in the head,
and sent him away,
shamefully handled.
12:5 And again he sent another;
and him they killed,
and many others;
beating some,
and killing some.
12:6 Having yet therefore
one son, his well beloved,
he sent him also last unto them,
saying,
they will reverence my son.
12:7 But those husbandmen
said among themselves,
this is the heir; come,
let us kill him, and
the inheritance shall be ours.
12:8 And they took him, and killed him,
and cast him out of the vineyard.
12:9 What shall therefore,
the lord of the vineyard do?
He will come and destroy
the husbandmen,
and will give the vineyard
unto others.
12:10 And have ye not read this scripture;
The stone which the builders rejected,
is become the head of the corner.
12:11 This was the Lord's doing,
and it is marvelous in our eyes?
12:12 And they sought to
lay hold on him,
but feared the people.
For they knew that he had
spoken the parable
against them.
And they left him,
and went their way.
12:13 And they send unto him,
certain of the Pharisees,
and of the Herodians,
to catch him in his words.
12:14 And when they were come,
they say unto him,
Master,
we know that thou art true,
and carest for no man.
For thou regardest not,
the person of men, but
teachest the way of God,
in truth.
Is it lawful to give tribute
to Caesar, or not?
12:15 Shall we give,
or shall we not give?
But he, knowing their
hypocrisy,
said unto them,
why tempt ye me?
Bring me a penny,
that I may see it.
12:16 And they brought it.
And he saith unto them,
whose is this image
and superscription?
And they said unto him, Caesar's.
12:17 And Jesus answering,
said unto them,
render to Caesar the things
that are Caesar's,
and to God the things
that are God's.
And they marveled at him.
12:18 Then come unto him the
Sadducees, which say
there is no resurrection;
and they asked him,
saying,
12:19 Master, Moses wrote unto us,
if a man's brother die
and leave his wife behind him,
and leave no children,
that his brother should
take his wife, and raise up
seed unto his brother.
12:20 Now there were seven
brethren.
And the first took a wife,
and dying, left no seed.
12:21 And the second took her
and died,
neither left he any seed.
And the third, likewise.
12:22 And the seven had her,
and left no seed.
Last of all, the woman died also.
12:23 In the resurrection therefore,
when they shall rise,
whose wife shall she be of them?
For the seven had her to wife.
12:24 And Jesus, answering,
said unto them,
do ye not therefore err
because ye know not
the scriptures,
neither the power of God?
12:25 For when they shall
rise from the dead,
they neither marry,
nor are given in marriage;
but are as the angels
which are in heaven.
12:26 And as touching the dead,
that they rise.
Have ye not read in the
book of Moses,
how in the bush God
spake unto him saying,
I am the God of Abraham,
and the God of Isaac,
and the God of Jacob?
12:27 He is not the God of the dead,
but the God of the living.
Ye therefore do greatly err.
12:28 And one of the scribes came,
and having heard them
reasoning together,
and perceiving that he had
answered them well,
asked him,
which is the first
commandment of all?
12:29 And Jesus answered him,
the first of all the
commandments is,
Hear, O Israel;
The Lord our God is one Lord.
12:30 And thou shalt love
the Lord thy God with
all thy heart,
and with all thy soul,
and with all thy mind,
and with all thy strength.
This is the first commandment.
12:31 And the second is like, namely this,
thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
There is none other
commandment greater than these.
12:32 And the scribe said unto him,
well, Master,
thou hast said the truth.
For there is one God;
and there is none other but he.
12:33 And to love him with all the heart,
and with all the understanding,
and with all the soul,
and with all the strength,
and to love his neighbor as
himself,
is more, than all whole burnt
offerings and sacrifices.
12:34 And when Jesus saw that
he answered discreetly,
he said unto him,
thou art not far from the
kingdom of God.
And no man, after that,
durst ask him any question.
12:35 And Jesus answered
and said while he
taught in the temple,
how say the scribes that
Christ is the son of David?
12:36 For David himself said
by the Holy Ghost,
The LORD said to my Lord,
sit thou on my right hand,
till I make thine enemies
thy footstool.
12:37 David therefore
himself calleth him Lord;
and whence is he then
his son?
And the common people
heard him gladly.
12:38 And he said unto them
in his doctrine,
beware of the scribes,
which love to go in
long clothing,
and love salutations
in the marketplaces,
12:39 and the chief seats
in the synagogues,
and the uppermost rooms
at feasts.
12:40 Which devour widows'
houses,
and for a pretence,
make long prayers.
These shall receive
greater damnation.
12:41 And Jesus sat over
against the treasury
and beheld how the people
cast money into the treasury.
And many that were rich
cast in much.
12:42 And there came a
certain poor widow,
and she threw in two mites,
which make a farthing.
12:43 And he called unto him
his disciples,
and saith unto them,
verily I say unto you,
that this poor widow hath
cast more in,
than all they which have
cast into the treasury.
12:44 For all they did cast
in of their abundance;
but she, of her want,
did cast in all that she had,
all her living.
Ch. 13 Mark
13:1 And as he went out of
the temple,
one of his disciples saith
unto him,
Master,
see what manner of
stones and what
buildings are here!
13:2 And Jesus answering,
said unto him,
seest thou these great buildings?
There shall not be left
one stone upon another,
that shall not be thrown down.
13:3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives,
over against the temple,
Peter and James and
John and Andrew asked him privately,
13:4 tell us, when shall these things be?
And what shall be the sign when
all these things shall be fulfilled?
13:5 And Jesus,
answering them,
began to say,
take heed lest any man
deceive you.
13:6 For many shall come
in my name,
saying,
I am Christ;
and shall deceive many.
13:7 And when ye shall hear of wars,
and rumors of wars,
be ye not troubled.
For such things must needs be.
But the end shall not be yet.
13:8 For nation shall rise against nation,
and kingdom against kingdom.
And there shall be earthquakes
in divers places,
and there shall be famines
and troubles.
These are the beginnings
of sorrows.
13:9 But take heed to yourselves.
For they shall deliver you up to councils;
and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten.
And ye shall be brought
before rulers and kings for my sake,
for a testimony against them.
13:10 And the gospel must
first be published among
all nations.
13:11 But when they shall lead you,
and deliver you up,
take no thought beforehand
what ye shall speak,
neither do ye premeditate.
But whatsoever shall be
given you in that hour,
that speak ye.
For it is not ye that speak,
but the Holy Ghost.
13:12 Now the brother shall
betray the brother to death,
and the father the son;
and children shall rise up
against their parents,
and shall cause them
to be put to death.
13:13 And ye shall be hated
of all men for
my name's sake.
But he that shall endure
unto the end,
the same shall be saved.
13:14 But when ye shall see the
abomination of desolation,
spoken of by Daniel the prophet,
standing where it ought not,
(let him that readeth understand,)
then let them that be in Judea,
flee to the mountains.
13:15 And let him that is on the
housetop not go down into
the house, neither enter
therein to take any thing out
of his house.
13:16 And let him that is in the field
not turn back again for
to take up his garment.
13:17 But woe to them that
are with child,
and to them that give
suck in those days!
13:18 And pray ye that your
flight be not in the winter.
13:19 For in those days shall
be affliction,
such as was not from the
beginning of the creation
which God created,
unto this time,
neither shall be.
13:20 And except that the Lord
had shortened those days,
no flesh should be saved.
But for the elect's sake,
whom he hath chosen,
he hath shortened the days.
13:21 And then,
if any man shall say to you,
lo, here is Christ; or,
lo, he is there;
believe him not:
13:22 For false Christs and false
prophets shall rise,
and shall shew signs
and wonders, to seduce,
if it were possible,
even the elect.
13:23 But take ye heed.
behold,
I have foretold you all things.
13:24 But in those days,
after that tribulation,
the sun shall be darkened,
and the moon shall not
give her light,
13:25 and
the stars of heaven shall fall,
and the powers that are in heaven
shall be shaken.
13:26 And then shall they see
the Son of man coming
in the clouds,
with great power and glory.
13:27 And then shall he send his
angels, and shall gather
together his elect from the four winds,
from the uttermost part of the earth,
to the uttermost part of heaven.
13:28 Now learn a parable of the fig tree;
when her branch is yet tender, and
putteth forth leaves,
ye know that summer is near.
13:29 So ye, in like manner,
when ye shall see these
things come to pass,
know that it is nigh,
even at the doors.
13:30 Verily I say unto you, that this
generation shall not pass,
till all these things be done.
13:31 Heaven and earth shall pass away.
But my words shall not pass away.
13:32 But of that day
and that hour knoweth no man,
no, not the angels which are
in heaven,
neither the Son,
but the Father.
13:33 Take ye heed,
watch and pray.
For ye know not
when the time is.
13:34 For the Son of Man is as a
man taking a far journey
who left his house,
and gave authority to his servants,
and to every man his work,
and commanded the
porter to watch.
13:35 Watch ye therefore.
For ye know not when the
master of the house cometh,
at even, or at midnight,
or at the cockcrowing,
or in the morning.
13:36 Lest coming suddenly,
he find you sleeping.
13:37 And what I say unto you,
I say unto all, Watch.
Ch. 14 Mark
14:1 After two days was the
feast of the Passover,
and of unleavened bread.
And the chief priests
and the scribes sought
how they might take him
by craft,
and put him to death.
14:2 But they said,
not on the feast day,
lest there be an uproar
among (of) the people.
14:3 And being in Bethany,
in the house of Simon the leper,
as he sat at meat,
there came a woman having an
alabaster box of ointment,
of spikenard, very precious;
and she brake the box,
and poured it on his head.
14:4 And there were some
that had indignation within
themselves,
and said,
why was this waste of the
ointment made?
14:5 For it might have been
sold for more than three
hundred pence,
and have been given to the poor.
And they murmured against her.
14:6 And Jesus said,
let her alone;
why trouble ye her?
She hath wrought a
good work on me.
14:7 For ye have the
poor with you always,
and when so ever ye will,
ye may do them good.
But me, ye have not always.
14:8 She hath done what
she could.
She is come afore hand to
anoint my body to the
burying.
14:9 Verily I say unto you,
wheresoever this gospel
shall be preached throughout
the whole world,
this also that she hath done,
shall be spoken of,
for a memorial of her.
14:10 And Judas Iscariot,
one of the twelve
went unto the chief priests,
to betray him unto them.
14:11 And when they heard it
they were glad
and promised to give him
money.
And he sought how he might
conveniently betray him.
14:12 And the first day of
unleavened bread,
when they killed the
Passover,
his disciples said unto him,
where wilt thou that we go
and prepare,
that thou mayest eat
the Passover?
14:13 And he sendeth forth
two of his disciples
and saith unto them,
go ye into the city,
and there shall meet
you a man bearing a
pitcher of water.
Follow him.
14:14 And wheresoever he
shall go in,
say ye to the goodman
of the house,
The Master saith,
where is the guestchamber,
where I shall eat the
Passover with my disciples?
14:15 And he will shew you a
large upper room,
furnished and prepared.
There make ready for us.
14:16 And his disciples went forth
and came into the city
and found as he
had said unto them.
And they made ready the
Passover.
14:17 And in the evening,
he cometh with the twelve.
14:18 And as they sat and did eat
Jesus said,
verily I say unto you,
one of you which eateth with me,
shall betray me.
14:19 And they began to be
sorrowful and to
say unto him one by one,
is it I?
And another said, is it I?
14:20 And he answered
and said unto them,
it is one of the twelve,
that dippeth with me in the dish.
14:21 The Son of man indeed goeth,
as it is written of him.
But woe to that man by whom
the Son of man is betrayed!
Good were it for that man,
if he had never been born.
14:22 And as they did eat,
Jesus took bread,
and blessed, and brake it,
and gave to them, and said,
Take, eat. This is my body.
14:23 And he took the cup,
and when he had given thanks,
he gave it to them.
and they all drank of it.
14:24 And he said unto them,
This is my blood,
of the new testament,
which is shed for many.
14:25 Verily I say unto you,
I will drink no more of the
fruit of the vine,
until that day that I drink it new
in the kingdom of God.
14:26 And when they had sung an hymn,
they went out into the mount of Olives.
14:27 And Jesus saith unto them,
all ye shall be offended
because of me this night.
For it is written,
I will smite the shepherd,
and the sheep shall be scattered.
14:28 But after that I am risen,
I will go before you,
into Galilee.
14:29 But Peter said unto him,
although all shall be offended,
yet will not I.
14:30 And Jesus saith unto him,
Verily I say unto thee,
that this day, even in this night,
before the cock crow twice,
thou shalt deny me thrice.
14:31 But he spake the more
vehemently,
if I should die with thee,
I will not deny thee in any wise.
Likewise also said they all.
14:32 And they came to a place,
which was named
Gethsemane.
And he saith to his disciples,
Sit ye here,
while I shall pray.
14:33 And he taketh with him,
Peter, and James, and John,
and began to be sore amazed,
and to be very heavy;
14:34 and
saith unto them,
My soul is exceeding
sorrowful unto death.
Tarry ye here, and watch.
14:35 And he went forward a little,
and fell on the ground,
and prayed, that,
if it were possible,
the hour might pass from him.
14:36 And he said,
Abba, Father,
all things are possible unto thee;
take away this cup from me.
Nevertheless, not what I will,
but what thou wilt.
14:37 And he cometh,
and findeth them sleeping,
and saith unto Peter,
Simon, sleepest thou?
Couldest not thou watch one hour?
14:38 Watch ye and pray,
lest ye enter into temptation.
The spirit truly is ready,
but the flesh is weak.
14:39 And again he went away
and prayed
and spake the same words.
14:40 And when he returned,
he found them asleep again,
(for their eyes were heavy,)
neither wist they what to
answer him.
14:41 And he cometh the third time
and saith unto them,
sleep on now,
and take your rest.
It is enough, the hour is come;
Behold.
The Son of man is betrayed,
into the hands of sinners.
14:42 Rise up, let us go;
lo, he that betrayeth me
is at hand.
14:43 And immediately
while he yet spake
cometh Judas one of the
twelve,
and with him a great
multitude,
with swords and staves,
from the chief priests
and the scribes
and the elders.
14:44 And he that betrayed him,
had given them a token,
saying,
whomsoever I shall kiss,
that same is he;
take him,
and lead him away safely.
14:45 And as soon as he
was come,
he goeth,
straightway to him,
and saith,
Master, master;
and kissed him.
14:46 And they laid their
hands on him,
and took him.
14:47 And one of them that
stood by drew a sword,
and smote the (a)
servant of the high priest,
and cut off his ear.
14:48 And Jesus answered
and said unto them,
are ye come out,
as against a thief,
with swords and with staves
to take me?
14:49 I was daily with you in the
temple teaching,
and ye took me not.
But the scriptures must be
fulfilled.
14:50 And they all
forsook him and fled.
14:51 And there followed him a
certain young man,
having a linen cloth cast
about his naked body;
and the young men laid
hold on him.
14:52 And he left the linen cloth,
and fled from them naked.
14:53 And they led Jesus away
to the high priest.
And with him,
were assembled all the
chief priests,
and the elders,
and the scribes.
14:54 And Peter followed him
afar off,
even into the palace of the
high priest.
And he sat with the servants,
and warmed himself at the fire.
14:55 And the chief priests,
and all the council,
sought for witness(es)
against Jesus,
to put him to death;
and found none.
14:56 For many bare false witness
against him,
but their witness agreed not
together.
14:57 And there arose certain,
and bare false witness
against him
saying,
14:58 we heard him say,
I will destroy this temple,
that is made with hands,
and within three days
I will build another made
without hands.
14:59 But neither so did their
witness agree together.
14:60 And the high priest
stood up in the midst,
and asked Jesus,
saying,
answerest thou nothing?
What is it which these
witness against thee?
14:61 But he held his peace,
and answered nothing.
Again,
the high priest asked him,
and said unto him,
art thou the Christ,
the Son of the Blessed?
14:62 And Jesus said,
I am.
And ye shall see the Son of man,
sitting on the right hand of power,
and coming in the clouds of heaven.
14:63 Then the high priest
rent his clothes
and saith,
what need we any
further witnesses?
14:64 Ye have heard the
blasphemy.
What think ye?
And they all condemned him
to be guilty of death.
14:65 And some began to
spit on him,
and to cover his face,
and to buffet him,
and to say unto him,
prophesy.
And the servants did
strike him with the
palms of their hands.
14:66 And as Peter was beneath,
in the palace,
there cometh one of the
maids of the high priest.
14:67 And when she saw
Peter warming himself,
she looked upon him,
and said,
and thou also wast with
Jesus of Nazareth.
14:68 But he denied saying,
I know not,
neither understand I what
thou sayest.
And he went out into the porch
and the cock crew.
14:69 And a maid saw him again,
and began to say to them that
stood by,
this is one of them.
14:70 And he denied it again.
And a little after,
they that stood by said
again to Peter,
surely thou art one of them.
For thou art a Galilaean,
and thy speech agreeth thereto.
14:71 But he began to curse
and (to) swear,
saying,
I know not this man
of whom ye speak.
14:72 And the second time
the cock crew.
And Peter called to mind the
word that Jesus
said unto him,
Before the cock crow twice,
thou shalt deny me thrice.
And when he thought thereon,
he wept.
Ch. 15 Mark
15:1 And straightway
in the morning,
the chief priests held a
consultation with
the elders and scribes,
and the whole council,
and bound Jesus
and carried him away,
and delivered him to Pilate.
15:2 And Pilate asked him,
art thou the King
of the Jews?
And he, answering,
said unto them,
Thou sayest it.
15:3 And the chief priests
accused him of
many things.
But he answered
nothing.
15:4 And Pilate asked him again
saying,
answerest thou nothing?
Behold how many things they
witness against thee.
15:5 But Jesus yet answered nothing;
so that Pilate marveled.
15:6 Now at that feast
he released unto them one prisoner,
whomsoever they desired.
15:7 And there was one named Barabbas,
which lay bound with them that had
made insurrection with him,
who had committed murder in the
insurrection.
15:8 And the multitude crying aloud,
began to desire him,
to do as he had ever done unto them.
15:9 But Pilate answered them
saying,
will ye that I release
unto you the
King of the Jews?
15:10 For he knew that the
chief priests had delivered
him for envy.
15:11 But the chief priests moved
the people,
that he should rather release
Barabbas unto them.
15:12 And Pilate answered and
said again unto them,
what will ye then,
that I shall do unto him
whom ye call the
King of the Jews?
15:13 And they cried out again,
crucify him.
15:14 Then Pilate said unto them,
why, what evil hath he done?
And they cried out the
more exceedingly,
crucify him.
15:15 And so, Pilate,
willing to content the people,
released Barabbas unto them,
and delivered Jesus,
when he had scourged him,
to be crucified.
15:16 And the soldiers led him away,
into the hal, called Praetorium;
and they call together
the whole band.
15:17 And they clothed him with purple,
and platted a crown of thorns,
and put it about his head,
15:18 and began to salute him,
Hail, King of the Jews!
15:19 And they smote him
on the head with a reed,
and did spit upon him,
and bowing their knees,
worshipped him.
15:20 And when they had mocked him,
they took off the purple from him,
and put his own clothes on him,
and led him out,
to crucify him.
15:21 And they compel one Simon,
a Cyrenian who passed by,
coming out of the country,
the father of Alexander
and Rufus,
to bear his cross.
15:22 And they bring him unto
the place Golgotha,
which is, being interpreted,
the place of a skull.
15:23 And they gave him
to drink wine,
mingled with myrrh.
But he received it not.
15:24 And when they had crucified him
they parted his garments,
casting lots upon them,
what every man should take.
15:25 And it was the third hour,
and they crucified him.
15:26 And the superscription
of his accusation
was written over,
THE KING OF THE JEWS.
15:27 And with him they crucify
two thieves;
the one on his right hand,
and the other on his left.
15:28 And the scripture was
fulfilled which saith,
And he was numbered
with the transgressors.
15:29 And they that passed by,
railed on him wagging their
heads, and saying,
ah, thou that destroyest
the temple,
and buildest it in three days,
15:30 save thyself,
and come down from the cross.
15:31 Likewise also,
the chief priests mocking,
said among themselves
with the scribes,
He saved others;
himself he cannot save.
15:32 Let Christ, the King of Israel,
descend now from the cross,
that we may see and believe.
And they that were crucified
with him reviled him.
15:33 And when the sixth hour
was come,
there was darkness over the
whole land
until the ninth hour.
15:34 And at the ninth hour,
Jesus cried with a
loud voice saying,
Eloi, Eloi,
lama sabachthani?
which is, being interpreted,
My God, my God,
why hast thou forsaken me?
15:35 And some of them that stood by,
when they heard it said,
behold,
he calleth Elias.
15:36 And one ran and filled a
sponge full of vinegar,
and put it on a reed,
and gave him to drink,
saying, let alone;
let us see whether Elias will
come to take him down.
15:37 And Jesus cried with a
loud voice
and gave up the ghost.
15:38 And the veil of the temple was
rent in twain,
from the top to the bottom.
15:39 And when the centurion,
which stood over against him,
saw that he so cried out and
gave up the ghost, he said,
truly,
this man was the Son of God.
15:40 There were also women
looking on afar off;
among whom was Mary Magdalene,
and Mary, the mother of
James the less, and of Joses,
and Salome;
15:41 (who also,
when he was in Galilee,
followed him, and ministered unto him;)
and many other women which
came up with him unto Jerusalem.
15:42 And now when the even was come,
because it was the preparation,
that is,
the day before the Sabbath,
15:43 Joseph of Arimathaea,
an honorable counselor,
which also waited for
the kingdom of God,
came and went in boldly
unto Pilate,
and craved the body of Jesus.
15:44 And Pilate marveled if he were
already dead.
And calling unto him the
centurion,
he asked him whether he had
been any while dead.
15:45 And when he knew it of
the centurion,
he gave the body to Joseph.
15:46 And he bought fine linen,
and took him down
and wrapped him in the linen,
and laid him in a sepulchre,
which was hewn out of a rock,
and rolled a stone unto the
door of the sepulchre.
15:47 And Mary Magdalene,
and Mary the mother of Joses,
beheld where he was laid.
Ch. 16 Mark
16:1 And when the Sabbath was past,
Mary Magdalene,
and Mary the mother of James,
and Salome,
had bought sweet spices,
that they might come and
anoint him.
16:2 And very early in the morning,
the first day of the week,
they came unto the sepulchre at the
rising of the sun.
16:3 And they said among themselves,
who shall roll us away
the stone, from the
door of the sepulchre?
16:4 And when they looked,
they saw that the
stone was rolled away.
For it was very great.
16:5 And entering into the sepulchre,
they saw a young man sitting
on the right side,
clothed in a long white garment;
and they were afrightened.
16:6 And he saith unto them,
be not affrighted.
Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth,
which was crucified.
He is risen; he is not here.
Behold the place where they
laid him.
16:7 But go your way,
tell his disciples and Peter,
that he goeth before you
into Galilee.
There shall ye see him,
as he said unto you.
16:8 And they went out quickly
and fled from the sepulchre;
for they trembled and were amazed.
Neither said they
any thing to any man;
for they were afraid.
16:9 Now when Jesus was risen,
early the first day of the week,
he appeared
first to Mary Magdalene,
out of whom
he had cast seven devils.
16:10 And she went,
and told them that had
been with him,
as they mourned and wept.
16:11 And they,
when they had heard that
he was alive,
and had been seen of her,
believed not.
16:12 After that,
he appeared in another form,
unto two of them, as they walked,
and went into the country.
16:13 And they went
and told it unto the residue.
Neither believed they them.
16:14 Afterward he appeared unto
the eleven as they sat at meat,
and upbraided them with
their unbelief
and hardness of heart,
because they believed not
them which had seen
him after he was risen.
16:15 And he said unto them,
go ye into all the world,
and preach the gospel to
every creature.
16:16 He that believeth,
and is baptized shall be saved;
but he that believeth not,
shall be damned.
16:17 And these signs shall
follow them that believe;
in my name shall they cast out devils;
they shall speak with new tongues;
16:18 they shall take up serpents;
and if they drink any deadly thing,
it shall not hurt them;
they shall lay hands on the sick,
and they shall recover.
16:19 So then
after the Lord had spoken
unto them,
he was received up, into heaven,
and sat on the right hand of God.
16:20 And they went forth,
and preached every where,
the Lord working with them,
and confirming the word,
with signs following.
Amen.
