as the waters cover the sea.

MR-1:1 The beginning of the gospel of

Jesus Christ, the Son of God;

MR-1:2 As it is written in the

prophets, Behold, I send my messenger

before thy face, which shall prepare thy

way before thee.

MR-1:3 The voice of one crying in the

wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the

Lord, make his paths straight.

MR-1:4 John did baptize in the

wilderness, and preach the baptism of

repentance for the remission of sins.

MR-1:5 And there went out unto him all

the land of Judaea, and they of

Jerusalem, and were all baptized of him

in the river of Jordan, confessing their

sins.

MR-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;

MR-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.

MR-1:8 I indeed have baptized you with

water: but he shall baptize you with the

Holy Ghost.

MR-1:9 And it came to pass in those

days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of

Galilee, and was baptized of John in

Jordan.

MR-1:10 And straightway coming up out

of the water, he saw the heavens opened,

and the Spirit like a dove descending

upon him:

MR-1:11 And there came a voice from

heaven, [saying], Thou art my beloved

Son, in whom I am well pleased.

MR-1:12 And immediately the Spirit

driveth him into the wilderness.

MR-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.

MR-1:14 Now after that John was put in

prison, Jesus came into Galilee,

preaching the gospel of the kingdom of

God,

MR-1:15 And saying, The time is

fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at

hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.

MR-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.

MR-1:17 And Jesus said unto them, Come

ye after me, and I will make you to

become fishers of men.

MR-1:18 And straightway they forsook

their nets, and followed him.

MR-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.

MR-1:20 And straightway he called them:

and they left their father Zebedee in

the ship with the hired servants, and

went after him.

MR-1:21 And they went into Capernaum;

and straightway on the sabbath day he

entered into the synagogue, and taught.

MR-1:22 And they were astonished at his

doctrine: for he taught them as one that

had authority, and not as the scribes.

MR-1:23 And there was in their

synagogue a man with an unclean spirit;

and he cried out,

MR-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.

MR-1:25 And Jesus rebuked him, saying,

Hold thy peace, and come out of him.

MR-1:26 And when the unclean spirit had

torn him, and cried with a loud voice,

he came out of him.

MR-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.

MR-1:28 And immediately his fame spread

abroad throughout all the region round

about Galilee.

MR-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.

MR-1:30 But Simon's wife's mother lay

sick of a fever, and anon they tell him

of her.

MR-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.

MR-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.

MR-1:33 And all the city was gathered

together at the door.

MR-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.

MR-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.

MR-1:36 And Simon and they that were

with him followed after him.

MR-1:37 And when they had found him,

they said unto him, All [men] seek for

thee.

MR-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.

MR-1:39 And he preached in their

synagogues throughout all Galilee, and

cast out devils.

MR-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.

MR-1:41 And Jesus, moved with

compassion, put forth [his] hand, and

touched him, and saith unto him, I will;

be thou clean.

MR-1:42 And as soon as he had spoken,

immediately the leprosy departed from

him, and he was cleansed.

MR-1:43 And he straitly charged him,

and forthwith sent him away;

MR-1:44 And saith unto him, See thou

say nothing to any man: but go thy way,

show thyself to the priest, and offer

for thy cleansing those things which

Moses commanded, for a testimony unto

them.

MR-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.

MR-2:1 And again he entered into

Capernaum after [some] days; and it was

noised that he was in the house.

MR-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.

MR-2:3 And they come unto him, bringing

one sick of the palsy, which was borne

of four.

MR-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.

MR-2:5 When Jesus saw their faith, he

said unto the sick of the palsy, Son,

thy sins be forgiven thee.

MR-2:6 But there were certain of the

scribes sitting there, and reasoning in

their hearts,

MR-2:7 Why doth this [man] thus speak

blasphemies? who can forgive sins but

God only?

MR-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?

MR-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?

MR-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,)

MR-2:11 I say unto thee, Arise, and

take up thy bed, and go thy way into

thine house.

MR-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.

MR-2:13 And he went forth again by the

sea side; and all the multitude resorted

unto him, and he taught them.

MR-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.

MR-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.

MR-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?

MR-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.

MR-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?

MR-2:19 And Jesus said unto them, Can

the children of the bridechamber fast,

while the bridegroom is with them? as

long as they have the bridegroom with

them, they cannot fast.

MR-2:20 But the days will come, when

the bridegroom shall be taken away from

them, and then shall they fast in those

days.

MR-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.

MR-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.

MR-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.

MR-2:24 And the Pharisees said unto

him, Behold, why do they on the sabbath

day that which is not lawful?

MR-2:25 And he said unto them, Have ye

never read what David did, when he had

need, and was an hungred, he, and they

that were with him?

MR-2:26 How he went into the house of

God in the days of Abiathar the high

priest, and did eat the showbread, which

is not lawful to eat but for the

priests, and gave also to them which

were with him?

MR-2:27 And he said unto them, The

sabbath was made for man, and not man

for the sabbath:

MR-2:28 Therefore the Son of man is

Lord also of the sabbath.

MR-3:1 And he entered again into the

synagogue; and there was a man there

which had a withered hand.

MR-3:2 And they watched him, whether he

would heal him on the sabbath day; that

they might accuse him.

MR-3:3 And he saith unto the man which

had the withered hand, Stand forth.

MR-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.

MR-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.

MR-3:6 And the Pharisees went forth,

and straightway took counsel with the

Herodians against him, how they might

destroy him.

MR-3:7 But Jesus withdrew himself with

his disciples to the sea: and a great

multitude from Galilee followed him, and

from Judaea,

MR-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.

MR-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.

MR-3:10 For he had healed many;

insomuch that they pressed upon him for

to touch him, as many as had plagues.

MR-3:11 And unclean spirits, when they

saw him, fell down before him, and

cried, saying, Thou art the Son of God.

MR-3:12 And he straitly charged them

that they should not make him known.

MR-3:13 And he goeth up into a

mountain, and calleth [unto him] whom he

would: and they came unto him.

MR-3:14 And he ordained twelve, that

they should be with him, and that he

might send them forth to preach,

MR-3:15 And to have power to heal

sicknesses, and to cast out devils:

MR-3:16 And Simon he surnamed Peter;

MR-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:

MR-3:18 And Andrew, and Philip, and

Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas,

and James the [son] of Alphaeus, and

Thaddaeus, and Simon the Canaanite,

MR-3:19 And Judas Iscariot, which also

betrayed him: and they went into an

house.

MR-3:20 And the multitude cometh

together again, so that they could not

so much as eat bread.

MR-3:21 And when his friends heard [of

it], they went out to lay hold on him:

for they said, He is beside himself.

MR-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.

MR-3:23 And he called them [unto him],

and said unto them in parables, How can

Satan cast out Satan?

MR-3:24 And if a kingdom be divided

against itself, that kingdom cannot

stand.

MR-3:25 And if a house be divided

against itself, that house cannot stand.

MR-3:26 And if Satan rise up against

himself, and be divided, he cannot

stand, but hath an end.

MR-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.

MR-3:28 Verily I say unto you, All sins

shall be forgiven unto the sons of men,

and blasphemies wherewith soever they

shall blaspheme:

MR-3:29 But he that shall blaspheme

against the Holy Ghost hath never

forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal

damnation:

MR-3:30 Because they said, He hath an

unclean spirit.

MR-3:31 There came then his brethren

and his mother, and, standing without,

sent unto him, calling him.

MR-3:32 And the multitude sat about

him, and they said unto him, Behold, thy

mother and thy brethren without seek for

thee.

MR-3:33 And he answered them, saying,

Who is my mother, or my brethren?

MR-3:34 And he looked round about on

them which sat about him, and said,

Behold my mother and my brethren!

MR-3:35 For whosoever shall do the will

of God, the same is my brother, and my

sister, and mother.

MR-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.

MR-4:2 And he taught them many things

by parables, and said unto them in his

doctrine,

MR-4:3 Hearken; Behold, there went out

a sower to sow:

MR-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.

MR-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:

MR-4:6 But when the sun was up, it was

scorched; and because it had no root, it

withered away.

MR-4:7 And some fell among thorns, and

the thorns grew up, and choked it, and

it yielded no fruit.

MR-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.

MR-4:9 And he said unto them, He that

hath ears to hear, let him hear.

MR-4:10 And when he was alone, they

that were about him with the twelve

asked of him the parable.

MR-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:

MR-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.

MR-4:13 And he said unto them, Know ye

not this parable? and how then will ye

know all parables?

MR-4:14 The sower soweth the word.

MR-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.

MR-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;

MR-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.

MR-4:18 And these are they which are

sown among thorns; such as hear the

word,

MR-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.

MR-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 thirtyfold, some sixty, and

some an hundred.

MR-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?

MR-4:22 For there is nothing hid, which

shall not be manifested; neither was any

thing kept secret, but that it should

come abroad.

MR-4:23 If any man have ears to hear,

let him hear.

MR-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.

MR-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.

MR-4:26 And he said, So is the kingdom

of God, as if a man should cast seed

into the ground;

MR-4:27 And should sleep, and rise

night and day, and the seed should

spring and grow up, he knoweth not how.

MR-4:28 For the earth bringeth forth

fruit of herself; first the blade, then

the ear, after that the full corn in the

ear.

MR-4:29 But when the fruit is brought

forth, immediately he putteth in the

sickle, because the harvest is come.

MR-4:30 And he said, Whereunto shall we

liken the kingdom of God? or with what

comparison shall we compare it?

MR-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:

MR-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.

MR-4:33 And with many such parables

spake he the word unto them, as they

were able to hear [it].

MR-4:34 But without a parable spake he

not unto them: and when they were alone,

he expounded all things to his

disciples.

MR-4:35 And the same day, when the even

was come, he saith unto them, Let us

pass over unto the other side.

MR-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.

MR-4:37 And there arose a great storm

of wind, and the waves beat into the

ship, so that it was now full.

MR-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?

MR-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.

MR-4:40 And he said unto them, Why are

ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no

faith?

MR-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?

MR-5:1 And they came over unto the

other side of the sea, into the country

of the Gadarenes.

MR-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,

MR-5:3 Who had [his] dwelling among the

tombs; and no man could bind him, no,

not with chains:

MR-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.

MR-5:5 And always, night and day, he

was in the mountains, and in the tombs,

crying, and cutting himself with stones.

MR-5:6 But when he saw Jesus afar off,

he ran and worshipped him,

MR-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.

MR-5:8 For he said unto him, Come out

of the man, [thou] unclean spirit.

MR-5:9 And he asked him, What [is] thy

name? And he answered, saying, My name

[is] Legion: for we are many.

MR-5:10 And he besought him much that

he would not send them away out of the

country.

MR-5:11 Now there was there nigh unto

the mountains a great herd of swine

feeding.

MR-5:12 And all the devils besought

him, saying, Send us into the swine,

that we may enter into them.

MR-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.

MR-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.

MR-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.

MR-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.

MR-5:17 And they began to pray him to

depart out of their coasts.

MR-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.

MR-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.

MR-5:20 And he departed, and began to

publish in Decapolis how great things

Jesus had done for him: and all [men]

did marvel.

MR-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.

MR-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,

MR-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.

MR-5:24 And [Jesus] went with him; and

much people followed him, and thronged

him.

MR-5:25 And a certain woman, which had

an issue of blood twelve years,

MR-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,

MR-5:27 When she had heard of Jesus,

came in the press behind, and touched

his garment.

MR-5:28 For she said, If I may touch

but his clothes, I shall be whole.

MR-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.

MR-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?

MR-5:31 And his disciples said unto

him, Thou seest the multitude thronging

thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?

MR-5:32 And he looked round about to

see her that had done this thing.

MR-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.

MR-5:34 And he said unto her, Daughter,

thy faith hath made thee whole; go in

peace, and be whole of thy plague.

MR-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?

MR-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.

MR-5:37 And he suffered no man to

follow him, save Peter, and James, and

John the brother of James.

MR-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.

MR-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.

MR-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 where the damsel was lying.

MR-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.

MR-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.

MR-5:43 And he charged them straitly

that no man should know it; and

commanded that something should be given

her to eat.

MR-6:1 And he went out from thence, and

came into his own country; and his

disciples follow him.

MR-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?

MR-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.

MR-6:4 But Jesus said unto them, A

prophet is not without honour, but in

his own country, and among his own kin,

and in his own house.

MR-6:5 And he could there do no mighty

work, save that he laid his hands upon a

few sick folk, and healed [them].

MR-6:6 And he marvelled because of

their unbelief. And he went round about

the villages, teaching.

MR-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;

MR-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:

MR-6:9 But [be] shod with sandals; and

not put on two coats.

MR-6:10 And he said unto them, In what

place soever ye enter into an house,

there abide till ye depart from that

place.

MR-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.

MR-6:12 And they went out, and preached

that men should repent.

MR-6:13 And they cast out many devils,

and anointed with oil many that were

sick, and healed [them].

MR-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 show forth themselves in him.

MR-6:15 Others said, That it is Elias.

And others said, That it is a prophet,

or as one of the prophets.

MR-6:16 But when Herod heard [thereof],

he said, It is John, whom I beheaded: he

is risen from the dead.

MR-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.

MR-6:18 For John had said unto Herod,

It is not lawful for thee to have thy

brother's wife.

MR-6:19 Therefore Herodias had a

quarrel against him, and would have

killed him; but she could not:

MR-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.

MR-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;

MR-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.

MR-6:23 And he sware unto her,

Whatsoever thou shalt ask of me, I will

give [it] thee, unto the half of my

kingdom.

MR-6:24 And she went forth, and said

unto her mother, What shall I ask? And

she said, The head of John the Baptist.

MR-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.

MR-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.

MR-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,

MR-6:28 And brought his head in a

charger, and gave it to the damsel: and

the damsel gave it to her mother.

MR-6:29 And when his disciples heard

[of it], they came and took up his

corpse, and laid it in a tomb.

MR-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.

MR-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.

MR-6:32 And they departed into a desert

place by ship privately.

MR-6:33 And the people saw them

departing, and many knew him, and ran

afoot thither out of all cities, and

outwent them, and came together unto

him.

MR-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.

MR-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:

MR-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.

MR-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?

MR-6:38 He saith unto them, How many

loaves have ye? go and see. And when

they knew, they say, Five, and two

fishes.

MR-6:39 And he commanded them to make

all sit down by companies upon the green

grass.

MR-6:40 And they sat down in ranks, by

hundreds, and by fifties.

MR-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.

MR-6:42 And they did all eat, and were

filled.

MR-6:43 And they took up twelve baskets

full of the fragments, and of the

fishes.

MR-6:44 And they that did eat of the

loaves were about five thousand men.

MR-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.

MR-6:46 And when he had sent them away,

he departed into a mountain to pray.

MR-6:47 And when even was come, the

ship was in the midst of the sea, and he

alone on the land.

MR-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.

MR-6:49 But when they saw him walking

upon the sea, they supposed it had been

a spirit, and cried out:

MR-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.

MR-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.

MR-6:52 For they considered not [the

miracle] of the loaves: for their heart

was hardened.

MR-6:53 And when they had passed over,

they came into the land of Gennesaret,

and drew to the shore.

MR-6:54 And when they were come out of

the ship, straightway they knew him,

MR-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.

MR-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.

MR-7:1 Then came together unto him the

Pharisees, and certain of the scribes,

which came from Jerusalem.

MR-7:2 And when they saw some of his

disciples eat bread with defiled, that

is to say, with unwashen, hands, they

found fault.

MR-7:3 For the Pharisees, and all the

Jews, except they wash [their] hands

oft, eat not, holding the tradition of

the elders.

MR-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, brazen

vessels, and of tables.

MR-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?

MR-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.

MR-7:7 Howbeit in vain do they worship

me, teaching [for] doctrines the

commandments of men.

MR-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.

MR-7:9 And he said unto them, Full well

ye reject the commandment of God, that

ye may keep your own tradition.

MR-7:10 For Moses said, Honour thy

father and thy mother; and, Whoso

curseth father or mother, let him die

the death:

MR-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].

MR-7:12 And ye suffer him no more to do

ought for his father or his mother;

MR-7:13 Making the word of God of none

effect through your tradition, which ye

have delivered: and many such like

things do ye.

MR-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:

MR-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.

MR-7:16 If any man have ears to hear,

let him hear.

MR-7:17 And when he was entered into

the house from the people, his disciples

asked him concerning the parable.

MR-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;

MR-7:19 Because it entereth not into

his heart, but into the belly, and goeth

out into the draught, purging all meats?

MR-7:20 And he said, That which cometh

out of the man, that defileth the man.

MR-7:21 For from within, out of the

heart of men, proceed evil thoughts,

adulteries, fornications, murders,

MR-7:22 Thefts, covetousness,

wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an

evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:

MR-7:23 All these evil things come from

within, and defile the man.

MR-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.

MR-7:25 For a [certain] woman, whose

young daughter had an unclean spirit,

heard of him, and came and fell at his

feet:

MR-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.

MR-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.

MR-7:28 And she answered and said unto

him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the

table eat of the children's crumbs.

MR-7:29 And he said unto her, For this

saying go thy way; the devil is gone out

of thy daughter.

MR-7:30 And when she was come to her

house, she found the devil gone out, and

her daughter laid upon the bed.

MR-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.

MR-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.

MR-7:33 And he took him aside from the

multitude, and put his fingers into his

ears, and he spit, and touched his

tongue;

MR-7:34 And looking up to heaven, he

sighed, and saith unto him, Ephphatha,

that is, Be opened.

MR-7:35 And straightway his ears were

opened, and the string of his tongue was

loosed, and he spake plain.

MR-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];

MR-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.

MR-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,

MR-8:2 I have compassion on the

multitude, because they have now been

with me three days, and have nothing to

eat:

MR-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.

MR-8:4 And his disciples answered him,

From whence can a man satisfy these

[men] with bread here in the wilderness?

MR-8:5 And he asked them, How many

loaves have ye? And they said, Seven.

MR-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.

MR-8:7 And they had a few small fishes:

and he blessed, and commanded to set

them also before [them].

MR-8:8 So they did eat, and were

filled: and they took up of the broken

[meat] that was left seven baskets.

MR-8:9 And they that had eaten were

about four thousand: and he sent them

away.

MR-8:10 And straightway he entered into

a ship with his disciples, and came into

the parts of Dalmanutha.

MR-8:11 And the Pharisees came forth,

and began to question with him, seeking

of him a sign from heaven, tempting him.

MR-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.

MR-8:13 And he left them, and entering

into the ship again departed to the

other side.

MR-8:14 Now [the disciples] had

forgotten to take bread, neither had

they in the ship with them more than one

loaf.

MR-8:15 And he charged them, saying,

Take heed, beware of the leaven of the

Pharisees, and [of] the leaven of Herod.

MR-8:16 And they reasoned among

themselves, saying, [It is] because we

have no bread.

MR-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?

MR-8:18 Having eyes, see ye not? and

having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not

remember?

MR-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.

MR-8:20 And when the seven among four

thousand, how many baskets full of

fragments took ye up? And they said,

Seven.

MR-8:21 And he said unto them, How is

it that ye do not understand?

MR-8:22 And he cometh to Bethsaida; and

they bring a blind man unto him, and

besought him to touch him.

MR-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.

MR-8:24 And he looked up, and said, I

see men as trees, walking.

MR-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.

MR-8:26 And he sent him away to his

house, saying, Neither go into the town,

nor tell [it] to any in the town.

MR-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?

MR-8:28 And they answered, John the

Baptist: but some [say], Elias; and

others, One of the prophets.

MR-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.

MR-8:30 And he charged them that they

should tell no man of him.

MR-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.

MR-8:32 And he spake that saying

openly. And Peter took him, and began to

rebuke him.

MR-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.

MR-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.

MR-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.

MR-8:36 For what shall it profit a man,

if he shall gain the whole world, and

lose his own soul?

MR-8:37 Or what shall a man give in

exchange for his soul?

MR-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.

MR-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.

MR-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.

MR-9:3 And his raiment became shining,

exceeding white as snow; so as no fuller

on earth can white them.

MR-9:4 And there appeared unto them

Elias with Moses: and they were talking

with Jesus.

MR-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.

MR-9:6 For he wist not what to say; for

they were sore afraid.

MR-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.

MR-9:8 And suddenly, when they had

looked round about, they saw no man any

more, save Jesus only with themselves.

MR-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.

MR-9:10 And they kept that saying with

themselves, questioning one with another

what the rising from the dead should

mean.

MR-9:11 And they asked him, saying, Why

say the scribes that Elias must first

come?

MR-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 nought.

MR-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.

MR-9:14 And when he came to [his]

disciples, he saw a great multitude

about them, and the scribes questioning

with them.

MR-9:15 And straightway all the people,

when they beheld him, were greatly

amazed, and running to [him] saluted

him.

MR-9:16 And he asked the scribes, What

question ye with them?

MR-9:17 And one of the multitude

answered and said, Master, I have

brought unto thee my son, which hath a

dumb spirit;

MR-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.

MR-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.

MR-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.

MR-9:21 And he asked his father, How

long is it ago since this came unto him?

And he said, Of a child.

MR-9:22 And ofttimes 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.

MR-9:23 Jesus said unto him, If thou

canst believe, all things [are] possible

to him that believeth.

MR-9:24 And straightway the father of

the child cried out, and said with

tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine

unbelief.

MR-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.

MR-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.

MR-9:27 But Jesus took him by the hand,

and lifted him up; and he arose.

MR-9:28 And when he was come into the

house, his disciples asked him

privately, Why could not we cast him

out?

MR-9:29 And he said unto them, This

kind can come forth by nothing, but by

prayer and fasting.

MR-9:30 And they departed thence, and

passed through Galilee; and he would not

that any man should know [it].

MR-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.

MR-9:32 But they understood not that

saying, and were afraid to ask him.

MR-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?

MR-9:34 But they held their peace: for

by the way they had disputed among

themselves, who [should be] the

greatest.

MR-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.

MR-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,

MR-9:37 Whosoever shall receive one of

such children in my name, receiveth me:

and whosoever shall receive me,

receiveth not me, but him that sent me.

MR-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.

MR-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.

MR-9:40 For he that is not against us

is on our part.

MR-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.

MR-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.

MR-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:

MR-9:44 Where their worm dieth not, and

the fire is not quenched.

MR-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:

MR-9:46 Where their worm dieth not, and

the fire is not quenched.

MR-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:

MR-9:48 Where their worm dieth not, and

the fire is not quenched.

MR-9:49 For every one shall be salted

with fire, and every sacrifice shall be

salted with salt.

MR-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.

MR-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.

MR-10:2 And the Pharisees came to him,

and asked him, Is it lawful for a man to

put away [his] wife? tempting him.

MR-10:3 And he answered and said unto

them, What did Moses command you?

MR-10:4 And they said, Moses suffered

to write a bill of divorcement, and to

put [her] away.

MR-10:5 And Jesus answered and said

unto them, For the hardness of your

heart he wrote you this precept.

MR-10:6 But from the beginning of the

creation God made them male and female.

MR-10:7 For this cause shall a man

leave his father and mother, and cleave

to his wife;

MR-10:8 And they twain shall be one

flesh: so then they are no more twain,

but one flesh.

MR-10:9 What therefore God hath joined

together, let not man put asunder.

MR-10:10 And in the house his disciples

asked him again of the same [matter].

MR-10:11 And he saith unto them,

Whosoever shall put away his wife, and

marry another, committeth adultery

against her.

MR-10:12 And if a woman shall put away

her husband, and be married to another,

she committeth adultery.

MR-10:13 And they brought young

children to him, that he should touch

them: and [his] disciples rebuked those

that brought [them].

MR-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.

MR-10:15 Verily I say unto you,

Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom

of God as a little child, he shall not

enter therein.

MR-10:16 And he took them up in his

arms, put [his] hands upon them, and

blessed them.

MR-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?

MR-10:18 And Jesus said unto him, Why

callest thou me good? [there is] none

good but one, [that is], God.

MR-10:19 Thou knowest the commandments,

Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do

not steal, Do not bear false witness,

Defraud not, Honour thy father and

mother.

MR-10:20 And he answered and said unto

him, Master, all these have I observed

from my youth.

MR-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.

MR-10:22 And he was sad at that saying,

and went away grieved: for he had great

possessions.

MR-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!

MR-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!

MR-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.

MR-10:26 And they were astonished out

of measure, saying among themselves, Who

then can be saved?

MR-10:27 And Jesus looking upon them

saith, With men [it is] impossible, but

not with God: for with God all things

are possible.

MR-10:28 Then Peter began to say unto

him, Lo, we have left all, and have

followed thee.

MR-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,

MR-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.

MR-10:31 But many [that are] first

shall be last; and the last first.

MR-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,

MR-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:

MR-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.

MR-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.

MR-10:36 And he said unto them, What

would ye that I should do for you?

MR-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.

MR-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?

MR-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

withal shall ye be baptized:

MR-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.

MR-10:41 And when the ten heard [it],

they began to be much displeased with

James and John.

MR-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.

MR-10:43 But so shall it not be among

you: but whosoever will be great among

you, shall be your minister:

MR-10:44 And whosoever of you will be

the chiefest, shall be servant of all.

MR-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.

MR-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.

MR-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.

MR-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.

MR-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.

MR-10:50 And he, casting away his

garment, rose, and came to Jesus.

MR-10:51 And Jesus answered and said

unto him, What wilt thou that I should

do unto thee? The blind man said unto

him, Lord, that I might receive my

sight.

MR-10:52 And Jesus said unto him, Go

thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole.

And immediately he received his sight,

and followed Jesus in the way.

MR-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,

MR-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].

MR-11:3 And if any man say unto you,

Why do ye this? say ye that the Lord

hath need of him; and straightway he

will send him hither.

MR-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.

MR-11:5 And certain of them that stood

there said unto them, What do ye,

loosing the colt?

MR-11:6 And they said unto them even as

Jesus had commanded: and they let them

go.

MR-11:7 And they brought the colt to

Jesus, and cast their garments on him;

and he sat upon him.

MR-11:8 And many spread their garments

in the way: and others cut down branches

off the trees, and strowed [them] in the

way.

MR-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:

MR-11:10 Blessed [be] the kingdom of

our father David, that cometh in the

name of the Lord: Hosanna in the

highest.

MR-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.

MR-11:12 And on the morrow, when they

were come from Bethany, he was hungry:

MR-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].

MR-11:14 And Jesus answered and said

unto it, No man eat fruit of thee

hereafter for ever. And his disciples

heard [it].

MR-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;

MR-11:16 And would not suffer that any

man should carry [any] vessel through

the temple.

MR-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.

MR-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.

MR-11:19 And when even was come, he

went out of the city.

MR-11:20 And in the morning, as they

passed by, they saw the fig tree dried

up from the roots.

MR-11:21 And Peter calling to

remembrance saith unto him, Master,

behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst

is withered away.

MR-11:22 And Jesus answering saith unto

them, Have faith in God.

MR-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 whatsoever he

saith.

MR-11:24 Therefore I say unto you, What

things soever ye desire, when ye pray,

believe that ye receive [them], and ye

shall have [them].

MR-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.

MR-11:26 But if ye do not forgive,

neither will your Father which is in

heaven forgive your trespasses.

MR-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,

MR-11:28 And say unto him, By what

authority doest thou these things? and

who gave thee this authority to do these

things?

MR-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.

MR-11:30 The baptism of John, was [it]

from heaven, or of men? answer me.

MR-11:31 And they reasoned with

themselves, saying, If we shall say,

From heaven; he will say, Why then did

ye not believe him?

MR-11:32 But if we shall say, Of men;

they feared the people: for all [men]

counted John, that he was a prophet

indeed.

MR-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.

MR-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.

MR-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.

MR-12:3 And they caught [him], and beat

him, and sent [him] away empty.

MR-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.

MR-12:5 And again he sent another; and

him they killed, and many others;

beating some, and killing some.

MR-12:6 Having yet therefore one son,

his wellbeloved, he sent him also last

unto them, saying, They will reverence

my son.

MR-12:7 But those husbandmen said among

themselves, This is the heir; come, let

us kill him, and the inheritance shall

be ours.

MR-12:8 And they took him, and killed

[him], and cast [him] out of the

vineyard.

MR-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.

MR-12:10 And have ye not read this

scripture; The stone which the builders

rejected is become the head of the

corner:

MR-12:11 This was the Lord's doing, and

it is marvellous in our eyes?

MR-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.

MR-12:13 And they send unto him certain

of the Pharisees and of the Herodians,

to catch him in [his] words.

MR-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?

MR-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].

MR-12:16 And they brought [it]. And he

saith unto them, Whose [is] this image

and superscription? And they said unto

him, Caesar's.

MR-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 marvelled at him.

MR-12:18 Then come unto him the

Sadducees, which say there is no

resurrection; and they asked him,

saying,

MR-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.

MR-12:20 Now there were seven brethren:

and the first took a wife, and dying

left no seed.

MR-12:21 And the second took her, and

died, neither left he any seed: and the

third likewise.

MR-12:22 And the seven had her, and

left no seed: last of all the woman died

also.

MR-12:23 In the resurrection therefore,

when they shall rise, whose wife shall

she be of them? for the seven had her to

wife.

MR-12:24 And Jesus answering said unto

them, Do ye not therefore err, because

ye know not the scriptures, neither the

power of God?

MR-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.

MR-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?

MR-12:27 He is not the God of the dead,

but the God of the living: ye therefore

do greatly err.

MR-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?

MR-12:29 And Jesus answered him, The

first of all the commandments [is],

Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one

Lord:

MR-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.

MR-12:31 And the second [is] like,

[namely] this, Thou shalt love thy

neighbour as thyself. There is none

other commandment greater than these.

MR-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:

MR-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] neighbour as

himself, is more than all whole burnt

offerings and sacrifices.

MR-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].

MR-12:35 And Jesus answered and said,

while he taught in the temple, How say

the scribes that Christ is the son of

David?

MR-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.

MR-12:37 David therefore himself

calleth him Lord; and whence is he

[then] his son? And the common people

heard him gladly.

MR-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,

MR-12:39 And the chief seats in the

synagogues, and the uppermost rooms at

feasts:

MR-12:40 Which devour widows' houses,

and for a pretence make long prayers:

these shall receive greater damnation.

MR-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.

MR-12:42 And there came a certain poor

widow, and she threw in two mites, which

make a farthing.

MR-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:

MR-12:44 For all [they] did cast in of

their abundance; but she of her want did

cast in all that she had, [even] all her

living.

MR-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]!

MR-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.

MR-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,

MR-13:4 Tell us, when shall these

things be? and what [shall be] the sign

when all these things shall be

fulfilled?

MR-13:5 And Jesus answering them began

to say, Take heed lest any [man] deceive

you:

MR-13:6 For many shall come in my name,

saying, I am [Christ]; and shall deceive

many.

MR-13:7 And when ye shall hear of wars

and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled:

for [such things] must needs be; but the

end [shall] not [be] yet.

MR-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.

MR-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.

MR-13:10 And the gospel must first be

published among all nations.

MR-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.

MR-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.

MR-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.

MR-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

Judaea flee to the mountains:

MR-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:

MR-13:16 And let him that is in the

field not turn back again for to take up

his garment.

MR-13:17 But woe to them that are with

child, and to them that give suck in

those days!

MR-13:18 And pray ye that your flight

be not in the winter.

MR-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.

MR-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.

MR-13:21 And then if any man shall say

to you, Lo, here [is] Christ; or, lo,

[he is] there; believe [him] not:

MR-13:22 For false Christs and false

prophets shall rise, and shall show

signs and wonders, to seduce, if [it

were] possible, even the elect.

MR-13:23 But take ye heed: behold, I

have foretold you all things.

MR-13:24 But in those days, after that

tribulation, the sun shall be darkened,

and the moon shall not give her light,

MR-13:25 And the stars of heaven shall

fall, and the powers that are in heaven

shall be shaken.

MR-13:26 And then shall they see the

Son of man coming in the clouds with

great power and glory.

MR-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.

MR-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:

MR-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.

MR-13:30 Verily I say unto you, that

this generation shall not pass, till all

these things be done.

MR-13:31 Heaven and earth shall pass

away: but my words shall not pass away.

MR-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.

MR-13:33 Take ye heed, watch and pray:

for ye know not when the time is.

MR-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.

MR-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:

MR-13:36 Lest coming suddenly he find

you sleeping.

MR-13:37 And what I say unto you I say

unto all, Watch.

MR-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.

MR-14:2 But they said, Not on the feast

[day], lest there be an uproar of the

people.

MR-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.

MR-14:4 And there were some that had

indignation within themselves, and said,

Why was this waste of the ointment made?

MR-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.

MR-14:6 And Jesus said, Let her alone;

why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a

good work on me.

MR-14:7 For ye have the poor with you

always, and whensoever ye will ye may do

them good: but me ye have not always.

MR-14:8 She hath done what she could:

she is come aforehand to anoint my body

to the burying.

MR-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.

MR-14:10 And Judas Iscariot, one of the

twelve, went unto the chief priests, to

betray him unto them.

MR-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.

MR-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?

MR-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.

MR-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?

MR-14:15 And he will show you a large

upper room furnished [and] prepared:

there make ready for us.

MR-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.

MR-14:17 And in the evening he cometh

with the twelve.

MR-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.

MR-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?

MR-14:20 And he answered and said unto

them, [It is] one of the twelve, that

dippeth with me in the dish.

MR-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.

MR-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.

MR-14:23 And he took the cup, and when

he had given thanks, he gave [it] to

them: and they all drank of it.

MR-14:24 And he said unto them, This is

my blood of the new testament, which is

shed for many.

MR-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.

MR-14:26 And when they had sung an

hymn, they went out into the mount of

Olives.

MR-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.

MR-14:28 But after that I am risen, I

will go before you into Galilee.

MR-14:29 But Peter said unto him,

Although all shall be offended, yet

[will] not I.

MR-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.

MR-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.

MR-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.

MR-14:33 And he taketh with him Peter

and James and John, and began to be sore

amazed, and to be very heavy;

MR-14:34 And saith unto them, My soul

is exceeding sorrowful unto death: tarry

ye here, and watch.

MR-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.

MR-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.

MR-14:37 And he cometh, and findeth

them sleeping, and saith unto Peter,

Simon, sleepest thou? couldest not thou

watch one hour?

MR-14:38 Watch ye and pray, lest ye

enter into temptation. The spirit truly

[is] ready, but the flesh [is] weak.

MR-14:39 And again he went away, and

prayed, and spake the same words.

MR-14:40 And when he returned, he found

them asleep again, (for their eyes were

heavy,) neither wist they what to answer

him.

MR-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.

MR-14:42 Rise up, let us go; lo, he

that betrayeth me is at hand.

MR-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.

MR-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.

MR-14:45 And as soon as he was come, he

goeth straightway to him, and saith,

Master, master; and kissed him.

MR-14:46 And they laid their hands on

him, and took him.

MR-14:47 And one of them that stood by

drew a sword, and smote a servant of the

high priest, and cut off his ear.

MR-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?

MR-14:49 I was daily with you in the

temple teaching, and ye took me not: but

the scriptures must be fulfilled.

MR-14:50 And they all forsook him, and

fled.

MR-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:

MR-14:52 And he left the linen cloth,

and fled from them naked.

MR-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.

MR-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.

MR-14:55 And the chief priests and all

the council sought for witness against

Jesus to put him to death; and found

none.

MR-14:56 For many bare false witness

against him, but their witness agreed

not together.

MR-14:57 And there arose certain, and

bare false witness against him, saying,

MR-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.

MR-14:59 But neither so did their

witness agree together.

MR-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?

MR-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?

MR-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.

MR-14:63 Then the high priest rent his

clothes, and saith, What need we any

further witnesses?

MR-14:64 Ye have heard the blasphemy:

what think ye? And they all condemned

him to be guilty of death.

MR-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.

MR-14:66 And as Peter was beneath in

the palace, there cometh one of the

maids of the high priest:

MR-14:67 And when she saw Peter warming

himself, she looked upon him, and said,

And thou also wast with Jesus of

Nazareth.

MR-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.

MR-14:69 And a maid saw him again, and

began to say to them that stood by, This

is [one] of them.

MR-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].

MR-14:71 But he began to curse and to

swear, [saying], I know not this man of

whom ye speak.

MR-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.

MR-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.

MR-15:2 And Pilate asked him, Art thou

the King of the Jews? And he answering

said unto him, Thou sayest [it].

MR-15:3 And the chief priests accused

him of many things: but he answered

nothing.

MR-15:4 And Pilate asked him again,

saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold

how many things they witness against

thee.

MR-15:5 But Jesus yet answered nothing;

so that Pilate marvelled.

MR-15:6 Now at [that] feast he released

unto them one prisoner, whomsoever they

desired.

MR-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.

MR-15:8 And the multitude crying aloud

began to desire [him to do] as he had

ever done unto them.

MR-15:9 But Pilate answered them,

saying, Will ye that I release unto you

the King of the Jews?

MR-15:10 For he knew that the chief

priests had delivered him for envy.

MR-15:11 But the chief priests moved

the people, that he should rather

release Barabbas unto them.

MR-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?

MR-15:13 And they cried out again,

Crucify him.

MR-15:14 Then Pilate said unto them,

Why, what evil hath he done? And they

cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify

him.

MR-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.

MR-15:16 And the soldiers led him away

into the hall, called Praetorium; and

they call together the whole band.

MR-15:17 And they clothed him with

purple, and platted a crown of thorns,

and put it about his [head],

MR-15:18 And began to salute him, Hail,

King of the Jews!

MR-15:19 And they smote him on the head

with a reed, and did spit upon him, and

bowing [their] knees worshipped him.

MR-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.

MR-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.

MR-15:22 And they bring him unto the

place Golgotha, which is, being

interpreted, The place of a skull.

MR-15:23 And they gave him to drink

wine mingled with myrrh: but he received

[it] not.

MR-15:24 And when they had crucified

him, they parted his garments, casting

lots upon them, what every man should

take.

MR-15:25 And it was the third hour, and

they crucified him.

MR-15:26 And the superscription of his

accusation was written over, THE KING OF

THE JEWS.

MR-15:27 And with him they crucify two

thieves; the one on his right hand, and

the other on his left.

MR-15:28 And the scripture was

fulfilled, which saith, And he was

numbered with the transgressors.

MR-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,

MR-15:30 Save thyself, and come down

from the cross.

MR-15:31 Likewise also the chief

priests mocking said among themselves

with the scribes, He saved others;

himself he cannot save.

MR-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.

MR-15:33 And when the sixth hour was

come, there was darkness over the whole

land until the ninth hour.

MR-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?

MR-15:35 And some of them that stood

by, when they heard [it], said, Behold,

he calleth Elias.

MR-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.

MR-15:37 And Jesus cried with a loud

voice, and gave up the ghost.

MR-15:38 And the veil of the temple was

rent in twain from the top to the

bottom.

MR-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.

MR-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;

MR-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.

MR-15:42 And now when the even was

come, because it was the preparation,

that is, the day before the sabbath,

MR-15:43 Joseph of Arimathaea, an

honourable counsellor, which also waited

for the kingdom of God, came, and went

in boldly unto Pilate, and craved the

body of Jesus.

MR-15:44 And Pilate marvelled if he

were already dead: and calling [unto

him] the centurion, he asked him whether

he had been any while dead.

MR-15:45 And when he knew [it] of the

centurion, he gave the body to Joseph.

MR-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.

MR-15:47 And Mary Magdalene and Mary

[the mother] of Joses beheld where he

was laid.

MR-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.

MR-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.

MR-16:3 And they said among themselves,

Who shall roll us away the stone from

the door of the sepulchre?

MR-16:4 And when they looked, they saw

that the stone was rolled away: for it

was very great.

MR-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 affrighted.

MR-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.

MR-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.

MR-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.

MR-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.

MR-16:10 [And] she went and told them

that had been with him, as they mourned

and wept.

MR-16:11 And they, when they had heard

that he was alive, and had been seen of

her, believed not.

MR-16:12 After that he appeared in

another form unto two of them, as they

walked, and went into the country.

MR-16:13 And they went and told [it]

unto the residue: neither believed they

them.

MR-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.

MR-16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye

into all the world, and preach the

gospel to every creature.

MR-16:16 He that believeth and is

baptized shall be saved; but he that

believeth not shall be damned.

MR-16:17 And these signs shall follow

them that believe; In my name shall they

cast out devils; they shall speak with

new tongues;

MR-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.

MR-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.

MR-16:20 And they went forth, and

preached every where, the Lord working

with [them], and confirming the word

with signs following. Amen.
