Mark - Chapter 1-16
Chapter 1
1 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of
God; 2 As it is written in the prophets, Behold,
I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before
thee. 3 The voice of one crying in the
wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. 4 John did
baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the
remission of sins. 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. 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; 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. 8 I indeed have baptized you with water:
but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost. 9 And it came to pass in those days,
that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and
was baptized of John in Jordan. 10 And straightway coming up out of the
water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon
him: 11 And there came a voice from heaven,
saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. 12 And immediately the Spirit driveth him into the
wilderness. 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. 14 Now after that John was
put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, 15 And saying, The
time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe
the gospel. 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. 17 And Jesus said
unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to
become fishers of men. 18 And straightway they forsook their nets,
and followed him. 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. 20 And straightway he called them: and they
left their father Zebedee in the ship with
the hired servants, and went after him. 21 And they went into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath day he entered
into the synagogue, and taught. 22 And they were astonished at his doctrine:
for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes. 23 And there was in their synagogue a man
with an unclean spirit; and he cried out, 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. 25 And Jesus rebuked
him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. 26 And when the unclean spirit had torn him,
and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him. 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. 28 And immediately his fame spread abroad
throughout all the region round about Galilee. 29 And forthwith, when they were come out of
the synagogue, they entered into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. 30 But Simon's
wife's mother lay sick of a fever, and anon they tell him of her. 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. 32 And at even, when the sun did set, they
brought unto him all that were diseased, and them that were possessed with
devils. 33 And all the city was gathered together at
the door. 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. 35 And in the morning, rising up a great
while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there
prayed. 36 And Simon and
they that were with him followed after him. 37 And when they had found him, they said
unto him, All men seek for thee. 38 And he said unto them, Let
us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also: for therefore came I
forth. 39 And he preached in their synagogues
throughout all Galilee, and cast out
devils. 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. 41 And Jesus,
moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto
him, I will; be thou clean. 42 And as soon as he had spoken, immediately
the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed. 43 And he straitly charged him, and
forthwith sent him away; 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. 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.
----------------Chapter 2
1 And again he entered into Capernaum after some days; and it was noised that he
was in the house. 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. 3 And they come unto him, bringing one sick
of the palsy, which was borne of four. 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. 5 When Jesus saw
their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy
sins be forgiven thee. 6 But there were certain of the scribes sitting
there, and reasoning in their hearts, 7 Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies?
who can forgive sins but God only? 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? 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? 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,) 11 I say unto thee, Arise,
and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house. 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. 13 And he went forth again by the sea side;
and all the multitude resorted unto him, and he taught them. 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. 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. 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? 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. 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? 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. 20 But the days will come,
when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in
those days. 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. 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. 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. 24 And the Pharisees said unto him, Behold,
why do they on the sabbath day that which is not lawful? 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? 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? 27 And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath: 28 Therefore the Son of man
is Lord also of the sabbath.
-------------Chapter 3
1 And he entered again into the synagogue;
and there was a man there which had a withered hand. 2 And they watched him, whether he would heal him
on the sabbath day; that they might accuse him. 3 And he saith unto the man which had the
withered hand, Stand forth. 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. 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. 6 And the Pharisees went forth, and straightway
took counsel with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him. 7 But Jesus withdrew
himself with his disciples to the sea: and a great multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judaea, 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. 9 And he spake to his disciples, that a
small ship should wait on him because of the multitude, lest they should throng
him. 10 For he had healed many; insomuch that
they pressed upon him for to touch him, as many as had plagues. 11 And unclean spirits, when they saw him,
fell down before him, and cried, saying, Thou art the Son of God. 12 And he straitly charged them that they
should not make him known. 13 And he goeth up into a mountain, and
calleth unto him whom he would: and they came unto him. 14 And he ordained twelve, that they should
be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach, 15 And to have power to heal sicknesses, and
to cast out devils: 16 And Simon he
surnamed Peter; 17 And James the
son of Zebedee, and John the
brother of James; and he surnamed them
Boanerges, which is, The sons of thunder: 18 And Andrew,
and Philip, and Bartholomew,
and Matthew, and Thomas,
and James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus,
and Simon the Canaanite, 19 And Judas Iscariot,
which also betrayed him: and they went into an house. 20 And the multitude cometh together again, so
that they could not so much as eat bread. 21 And when his friends heard of it, they
went out to lay hold on him: for they said, He is beside himself. 22 And the scribes which came down
from Jerusalem said, He hath Beelzebub, and by the prince of the devils casteth he out
devils. 23 And he called them unto him, and said
unto them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan? 24 And if a kingdom be
divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. 25 And if a house be
divided against itself, that house cannot stand. 26 And if Satan rise up against
himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 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. 28 Verily I say unto you,
All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith
soever they shall blaspheme: 29 But he that shall
blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of
eternal damnation: 30 Because they said, He hath an unclean
spirit. 31 There came then his brethren and his
mother, and, standing without, sent unto him, calling him. 32 And the multitude sat about him, and they
said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee. 33 And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother, or my brethren? 34 And he looked round about on them which
sat about him, and said, Behold my mother and my
brethren! 35 For whosoever shall do
the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother.
-------------------Chapter 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. 2 And he taught them many things by
parables, and said unto them in his doctrine, 3 Hearken; Behold, there
went out a sower to sow: 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. 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: 6 But when the sun was
up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away. 7 And some fell among
thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit. 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. 9 And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. 10 And when he was alone, they that were
about him with the twelve asked of him the parable. 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: 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. 13 And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables? 14 The sower soweth the
word. 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. 16 And these are they
likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word,
immediately receive it with gladness; 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. 18 And these are they
which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word, 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. 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. 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? 22 For there is nothing
hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that
it should come abroad. 23 If any man have ears to
hear, let him hear. 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. 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. 26 And he said, So is the
kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground; 27 And should sleep, and
rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how. 28 For the earth bringeth
forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn
in the ear. 29 But when the fruit is
brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is
come. 30 And he said, Whereunto
shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare
it? 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: 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. 33 And with many such parables spake he the
word unto them, as they were able to hear it. 34 But without a parable spake he not unto
them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples.35 And the same day, when the even was come,
he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side. 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. 37 And there arose a great storm of wind, and the
waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full. 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? 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. 40 And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith? 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?
-----------------Chapter 5
1 And they came over unto the other side of
the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes. 2 And when he was come out of the ship,
immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit, 3 Who had his dwelling among the tombs; and
no man could bind him, no, not with chains: 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 And always, night and day, he was in the
mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones. 6 But when he saw Jesus afar
off, he ran and worshipped him, 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. 8 For he said unto him, Come
out of the man, thou unclean spirit. 9 And he asked him, What is
thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are
many. 10 And he besought him much that he would not send
them away out of the country. 11 Now there was there nigh unto the
mountains a great herd of swine feeding. 12 And all the devils besought him, saying, Send
us into the swine, that we may enter into them. 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. 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. 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. 16 And they that saw it told them how it befell to
him that was possessed with the devil, and also concerning the swine. 17 And they began to pray him to depart out
of their coasts. 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. 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. 20 And he departed, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had
done for him: and all men did marvel. 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. 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, 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. 24 And Jesus went
with him; and much people followed him, and thronged him. 25 And a certain woman, which had an issue
of blood twelve years, 26 And had suffered many things of many
physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but
rather grew worse, 27 When she had heard of Jesus,
came in the press behind, and touched his garment. 28 For she said, If I may touch but his
clothes, I shall be whole. 29 And straightway the fountain of her blood was
dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague. 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? 31 And his disciples said unto him, Thou
seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me? 32 And he looked round about to see her that had
done this thing. 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. 34 And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole
of thy plague. 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? 36 As soon as Jesus heard
the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe. 37 And he suffered no man to follow him,
save Peter, and James,
and John the brother of James. 38 And he cometh to the house of the ruler
of the synagogue, and seeth the tumult, and them that wept and wailed
greatly. 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., 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. 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. 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. 43 And he charged them straitly that no man should
know it; and commanded that something should be given her to eat.
----------------Chapter 6
1 And he went out from thence, and came into his
own country; and his disciples follow him. 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? 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. 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. 5 And he could there do no mighty work,
save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them. 6 And he marvelled because of their
unbelief. And he went round about the villages, teaching. 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; 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: 9 But be shod with sandals; and not put on
two coats. 10 And he said unto them, In
what place soever ye enter into an house, there abide till ye depart from that
place. 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. 12 And they went out, and preached that men should
repent. 13 And they cast out many devils, and anointed
with oil many that were sick, and healed them. 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. 15 Others said, That it is Elias. And others
said, That it is a prophet, or as one of the prophets. 16 But when Herod heard
thereof, he said, It is John, whom I beheaded:
he is risen from the dead. 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. 18 For John had
said unto Herod, It is not lawful for thee to
have thy brother's wife. 19 Therefore Herodias had
a quarrel against him, and would have killed him; but she could not: 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. 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; 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. 23 And he sware unto her, Whatsoever thou shalt
ask of me, I will give it thee, unto the half of my kingdom. 24 And she went forth, and said unto her mother,
What shall I ask? And she said, The head of John the
Baptist. 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. 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. 27 And immediately the king sent an executioner,
and commanded his head to be brought: and he went and beheaded him in the
prison, 28 And brought his head in a charger, and
gave it to the damsel: and the damsel gave it to her mother. 29 And when his disciples heard of it, they
came and took up his corpse, and laid it in a tomb. 30 And the apostles gathered themselves
together unto Jesus, and told him all things,
both what they had done, and what they had taught. 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. 32 And they departed into a desert place by
ship privately. 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. 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. 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: 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. 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? 38 He saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? go and see. And when they knew,
they say, Five, and two fishes. 39 And he commanded them to make all sit
down by companies upon the green grass. 40 And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds,
and by fifties. 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. 42 And they did all eat, and were filled. 43 And they took up twelve baskets full of
the fragments, and of the fishes. 44 And they that did eat of the loaves were
about five thousand men. 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. 46 And when he had sent them away, he
departed into a mountain to pray. 47 And when even was come, the ship was in
the midst of the sea, and he alone on the land. 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. 49 But when they saw him walking upon the
sea, they supposed it had been a spirit, and cried out: 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. 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. 52 For they considered not the miracle of
the loaves: for their heart was hardened. 53 And when they had passed over, they came
into the land of Gennesaret, and drew to the
shore. 54 And when they were come out of the ship,
straightway they knew him, 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. 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.
---------------Chapter 7
1 Then came together unto him the
Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, which came from Jerusalem. 2 And when they saw some of his disciples
eat bread with defiled, that is to say, with unwashen, hands, they found
fault. 3 For the Pharisees, and all the Jews,
except they wash their hands oft, eat not, holding the tradition of the
elders. 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. 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? 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 Howbeit in vain do they
worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. 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. 9 And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your
own tradition. 10 For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy
mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death: 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. 12 And ye suffer him no
more to do ought for his father or his mother; 13 Making the word of God
of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such
like things do ye. 14 And when he had called all the people
unto him, he said unto them, Hearken unto me every one of
you, and understand: 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. 16 If any man have ears to
hear, let him hear. 17 And when he was entered into the house from the
people, his disciples asked him concerning the parable. 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; 19 Because it entereth not
into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all
meats? 20 And he said, That
which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. 21 For from within, out of
the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications,
murders, 22 Thefts, covetousness,
wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride,
foolishness: 23 All these evil things
come from within, and defile the man. 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. 25 For a certain woman, whose young daughter
had an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet: 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. 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. 28 And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord:
yet the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs. 29 And he said unto her, For
this saying go thy way; the devil is gone out of thy daughter. 30 And when she was come to her house, she found
the devil gone out, and her daughter laid upon the bed. 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. 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. 33 And he took him aside from the multitude,
and put his fingers into his ears, and he spit, and touched his tongue; 34 And looking up to heaven, he sighed, and
saith unto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be
opened. 35 And straightway his ears were opened, and the
string of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plain. 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; 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.
-------------Chapter 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, 2 I have compassion on
the multitude, because they have now been with me three days, and have nothing
to eat: 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. 4 And his disciples answered him, From
whence can a man satisfy these men with bread here in the wilderness? 5 And he asked them, How
many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven. 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. 7 And they had a few small fishes: and he
blessed, and commanded to set them also before them. 8 So they did eat, and were filled: and they took
up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets. 9 And they that had eaten were about four
thousand: and he sent them away. 10 And straightway he entered into a ship
with his disciples, and came into the parts of Dalmanutha. 11 And the Pharisees came forth, and began to
question with him, seeking of him a sign from heaven, tempting him. 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. 13 And he left them, and entering into the
ship again departed to the other side. 14 Now the disciples had forgotten to take
bread, neither had they in the ship with them more than one loaf. 15 And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven
of Herod. 16 And they reasoned among themselves,
saying, It is because we have no bread. 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? 18 Having eyes, see ye
not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember? 19 When I brake the five
loaves among five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? They
say unto him, Twelve. 20 And when the seven among
four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? And
they said, Seven. 21 And he said unto them, How is it that ye do not understand? 22 And he cometh to Bethsaida;
and they bring a blind man unto him, and besought him to touch him. 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. 24 And he looked up, and said, I see men as
trees, walking. 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. 26 And he sent him away to his house,
saying, Neither go into the town, nor tell it to any in
the town. 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? 28 And they answered, John the Baptist: but some say, Elias; and others, One
of the prophets. 29 And he saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Peter answereth
and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ. 30 And he charged them that they should tell
no man of him. 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. 32 And he spake that saying openly.
And Peter took him, and began to rebuke
him. 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. 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. 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. 36 For what shall it
profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? 37 Or what shall a man
give in exchange for his soul? 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.
---------------Chapter 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. 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. 3 And his raiment became shining, exceeding
white as snow; so as no fuller on earth can white them. 4 And there appeared unto them Elias with Moses: and they were talking with Jesus. 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. 6 For he wist not what to say; for they
were sore afraid. 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. 8 And suddenly, when they had looked round
about, they saw no man any more, save Jesus only
with themselves. 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. 10 And they kept that saying with themselves,
questioning one with another what the rising from the dead should mean. 11 And they asked him, saying, Why say the
scribes that Elias must first come? 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. 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. 14 And when he came to his disciples, he saw
a great multitude about them, and the scribes questioning with them. 15 And straightway all the people, when they
beheld him, were greatly amazed, and running to him saluted him. 16 And he asked the scribes, What question ye with them? 17 And one of the multitude answered and said,
Master, I have brought unto thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit; 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. 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. 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. 21 And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him? And he
said, Of a child. 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. 23 Jesus said unto him, If
thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. 24 And straightway the father of the child cried
out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief. 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. 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. 27 But Jesus took
him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose. 28 And when he was come into the house, his
disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast him out? 29 And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting. 30 And they departed thence, and passed
through Galilee; and he would not that any man
should know it. 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. 32 But they understood not that saying, and were
afraid to ask him. 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? 34 But they held their peace: for by the way
they had disputed among themselves, who should be the greatest. 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. 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, 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. 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. 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. 40 For he that is not
against us is on our part. 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. 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. 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: 44 Where their worm dieth
not, and the fire is not quenched. 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: 46 Where their worm dieth
not, and the fire is not quenched. 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: 48 Where their worm dieth
not, and the fire is not quenched. 49 For every one shall be
salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt. 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.
-----------------Chapter 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. 2 And the Pharisees came to him, and asked
him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? tempting him. 3 And he answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you? 4 And they said, Moses suffered
to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away. 5 And Jesus answered
and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he
wrote you this precept. 6 But from the
beginning of the creation God made them male and female. 7 For this cause shall a
man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; 8 And they twain shall be
one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. 9 What therefore
God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. 10 And in the house his disciples asked him again
of the same matter. 11 And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth
adultery against her. 12 And if a woman shall
put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery. 13 And they brought young children to him,
that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought
them. 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. 15 Verily I say unto you,
Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not
enter therein. 16 And he took them up in his arms, put his
hands upon them, and blessed them. 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? 18 And Jesus said
unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good
but one, that is, God. 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. 20 And he answered and said unto him,
Master, all these have I observed from my youth. 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. 22 And he was sad at that saying, and went
away grieved: for he had great possessions. 23 And Jesus looked
round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly
shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God! 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! 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. 26 And they were astonished out of measure,
saying among themselves, Who then can be saved? 27 And Jesus looking
upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with
God: for with God all things are possible. 28 Then Peter began
to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee. 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, 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. 31 But many that are first
shall be last; and the last first. 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, 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: 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. 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. 36 And he said unto them, What would ye that I should do for you? 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. 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? 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: 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. 41 And when the ten heard it, they began to
be much displeased with James and John. 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. 43 But so shall it not be
among you: but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your minister: 44 And whosoever of you
will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 50 And he, casting away his garment, rose,
and came to Jesus. 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. 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.
--------------Chapter 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, 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. 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. 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. 5 And certain of them that stood there said
unto them, What do ye, loosing the colt? 6 And they said unto them even as Jesus had commanded: and they let them go. 7 And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments on him; and he sat upon
him. 8 And many spread their garments in the
way: and others cut down branches off the trees, and strawed them in the
way. 9 And they that went before, and they that
followed, cried, saying, Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the
Lord: 10 Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the
highest. 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. 12 And on the morrow, when they were come
from Bethany, he was hungry: 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. 14 And Jesus answered
and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his
disciples heard it. 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; 16 And would not suffer that any man should carry
any vessel through the temple. 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. 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. 19 And when even was come, he went out of
the city. 20 And in the morning, as they passed by,
they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. 21 And Peter calling
to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst
is withered away. 22 And Jesus answering
saith unto them, Have faith in God. 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. 24 Therefore I say unto
you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them,
and ye shall have them. 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. 26 But if ye do not forgive,
neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses. 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, 28 And say unto him, By what authority doest thou
these things? and who gave thee this authority to do these things? 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. 30 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men?
answer me. 31 And they reasoned with themselves,
saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did ye not believe
him? 32 But if we shall say, Of men; they feared the
people: for all men counted John, that he was a
prophet indeed. 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.
------------Chapter 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. 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. 3 And they caught him, and
beat him, and sent him away empty. 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. 5 And again he sent
another; and him they killed, and many others; beating some, and killing
some. 6 Having yet therefore one
son, his wellbeloved, he sent him also last unto them, saying, They will
reverence my son. 7 But those husbandmen
said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the
inheritance shall be our's. 8 And they took
him, and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard. 9 What shall therefore the
lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give
the vineyard unto others. 10 And have ye not read
this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the
corner: 11 This was the Lord's
doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes? 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. 13 And they send unto him certain of the Pharisees
and of the Herodians, to catch him in his words. 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? 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. 16 And they brought it. And he saith unto
them, Whose is this image and superscription? And they
said unto him, Caesar's. 17 And Jesus answering
said unto them, vRender to Caesar the
things that are Caesar's, and to God the things
that are God's. And they marvelled at him. 18 Then come unto him the Sadducees , which
say there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying, 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. 20 Now there were seven brethren: and the
first took a wife, and dying left no seed. 21 And the second took her, and died,
neither left he any seed: and the third likewise. 22 And the seven had her, and left no seed: last
of all the woman died also. 23 In the resurrection therefore, when they
shall rise, whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to
wife. 24 And Jesus answering
said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know
not the scriptures, neither the power of God? 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. 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? 27 He is not the God of the
dead, but the God of the living: ye therefore do greatly err. 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? 29 And Jesus answered
him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: 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. 31 And the second is like,
namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other
commandment greater than these. 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: 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. 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. 35 And Jesus answered
and said, while he taught in the temple, How say the
scribes that Christ is
the son of David? 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. 37 David therefore himself
calleth him Lord; and whence is he then his son? And the common people heard
him gladly. 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, 39 And the chief seats in
the synagogues, and the uppermost rooms at feasts: 40 Which devour widows'
houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater
damnation. 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. 42 And there came a certain poor widow, and
she threw in two mites, which make a farthing. 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: 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.
----------------Chapter 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! 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. 3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives over
against the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him privately, 4 Tell us, when shall these things be? and
what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled? 5 And Jesus answering
them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you: 6 For many shall come in
my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. 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. 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. 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. 10 And the gospel must
first be published among all nations. 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. 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 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. 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: 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: 16 And let him that is in
the field not turn back again for to take up his garment. 17 But woe to them that are
with child, and to them that give suck in those days! 18 And pray ye that your
flight be not in the winter. 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. 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. 21 And then if any man
shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not: 22 For false Christs and
false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it
were possible, even the elect. 23 But take ye heed:
behold, I have foretold you all things. 24 But in those days, after
that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her
light, 25 And the stars of heaven
shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken. 26 And then shall they see
the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. 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. 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: 29 So ye in like manner,
when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the
doors. 30 Verily I say unto you,
that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done. 31 Heaven and earth shall
pass away: but my words shall not pass away. 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. 33 Take ye heed,
watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is. 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. 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: 36 Lest coming suddenly he
find you sleeping. 37 And what I say unto you
I say unto all, Watch.
--------------Chapter 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. 2 But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there
be an uproar of the people. 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. 4 And there were some that had indignation
within themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made? 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. 6 And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work on
me. 7 For ye have the poor
with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good: but me ye have not
always. 8 She hath done what she
could: she is come aforehand to anoint my body to the burying. 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. 10 And Judas Iscariot,
one of the twelve, went unto the chief priests, to betray him unto them. 11 And when they heard it, they were glad,
and promised to give him money. And he sought how he might conveniently betray
him. 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? 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 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? 15 And he will shew you a
large upper room furnished and prepared: there make ready for us. 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. 17 And in the evening he cometh with the
twelve. 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. 19 And they began to be sorrowful, and to
say unto him one by one, Is it I? and another said, Is it I? 20 And he answered and said unto them, It is one of the twelve, that dippeth with me in the dish. 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. 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. 23 And he took the cup, and when he had
given thanks, he gave it to them: and they all drank of it. 24 And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many. 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. 26 And when they had sung an hymn, they went out
into the mount of Olives. 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. 28 But after that I
am risen, I will go before you into Galilee. 29 But Peter said
unto him, Although all shall be offended, yet will not I. 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. 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. 32 And they came to a place which was
named Gethsemane: and he saith to his
disciples, Sit ye here, while I shall pray. 33 And he taketh with him Peter and James and John, and
began to be sore amazed, and to be very heavy; 34 And saith unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful unto death: tarry ye here, and watch. 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. 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. 37 And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping,
and saith unto Peter, Simon, sleepest thou? couldest not thou watch one hour? 38 Watch ye and pray, lest
ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak. 39 And again he went away, and prayed, and spake
the same words. 40 And when he returned, he found them
asleep again, (for their eyes were heavy,) neither wist they what to answer
him. 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. 42 Rise up, let us go; lo,
he that betrayeth me is at hand. 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. 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. 45 And as soon as he was come, he goeth
straightway to him, and saith, Master, master; and kissed him. 46 And they laid their hands on him, and took
him. 47 And one of them that stood by drew a
sword, and smote a servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear. 48 And Jesus answered
and said unto them, Are ye come out, as against a thief,
with swords and with staves to take me? 49 I was daily with you in
the temple teaching, and ye took me not: but the scriptures must be fulfilled. 50 And they all forsook him, and fled. 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: 52 And he left the linen cloth, and fled from them
naked. 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. 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. 55 And the chief priests and all the council
sought for witness against Jesus to put him
to death; and found none. 56 For many bare false witness against him,
but their witness agreed not together. 57 And there arose certain, and bare false witness
against him, saying, 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. 59 But neither so did their witness agree
together. 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? 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? 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. 63 Then the high priest rent his clothes,
and saith, What need we any further witnesses? 64 Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye? And
they all condemned him to be guilty of death. 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. 66 And as Peter was
beneath in the palace, there cometh one of the maids of the high priest: 67 And when she saw Peter warming
himself, she looked upon him, and said, And thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth. 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. 69 And a maid saw him again, and began to say to
them that stood by, This is one of them. 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. 71 But he began to curse and to swear,
saying, I know not this man of whom ye speak. 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.
---------------Chapter 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. 2 And Pilate asked
him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering said unto him, Thou sayest it. 3 And the chief priests accused him of many
things: but he answered nothing. 4 And Pilate asked
him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things they witness
against thee. 5 But Jesus yet
answered nothing; so that Pilate marvelled. 6 Now at that feast he released unto them one
prisoner, whomsoever they desired. 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. 8 And the multitude crying aloud began to
desire him to do as he had ever done unto them. 9 But Pilate answered
them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews? 10 For he knew that the chief priests had
delivered him for envy. 11 But the chief priests moved the people,
that he should rather release Barabbas unto
them. 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? 13 And they cried out again, Crucify
him. 14 Then Pilate said
unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? And they cried out the more
exceedingly, Crucify him. 15 And so Pilate,
willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto
them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged
him, to be crucified. 16 And the soldiers led him away into the
hall, called Praetorium; and they call together the whole band. 17 And they clothed him with purple, and platted a
crown of thorns, and put it about his head, 18 And began to salute him, Hail, King of the
Jews! 19 And they smote him on the head with a
reed, and did spit upon him, and bowing their knees worshipped him. 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. 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. 22 And they bring him unto the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, The place of a
skull. 23 And they gave him to drink wine mingled
with myrrh: but he received it not. 24 And when they had crucified him, they
parted his garments, casting lots upon them, what every man should take. 25 And it was the third hour, and they
crucified him. 26 And the superscription of his accusation
was written over, THE KING OF THE JEWS. 27 And with him they crucify two thieves;
the one on his right hand, and the other on his left. 28 And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith,
And he was numbered with the transgressors. 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, 30 Save thyself, and come down from the
cross. 31 Likewise also the chief priests mocking
said among themselves with the scribes, He saved others; himself he cannot
save. 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. 33 And when the sixth hour was come, there was
darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour. 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? 35 And some of them that stood by, when they heard
it, said, Behold, he calleth Elias. 36 And one ran and filled a spunge 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. 37 And Jesus cried
with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost. 38 And the veil of the temple was rent in twain
from the top to the bottom. 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. 40 There were also women looking on afar
off: among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the
mother of Jamesthe less and of Joses, and Salome; 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. 42 And now when the even was come, because it was
the preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath, 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. 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. 45 And when he knew it of the centurion, he gave
the body to Joseph. 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. 47 And Mary Magdalene and Mary the
mother of Joses beheld where he was laid.
--------------Chapter 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. 2 And very early in the morning the first day of
the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun. 3 And they said among themselves, Who shall
roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre? 4 And when they looked, they saw that the
stone was rolled away: for it was very great. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 10 And she went and told them that had been with
him, as they mourned and wept. 11 And they, when they had heard that he was
alive, and had been seen of her, believed not. 12 After that he appeared in another form
unto two of them, as they walked, and went into the country. 13 And they went and told it unto the
residue: neither believed they them. 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. 15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every
creature. 16 He that believeth and is
baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. 17 And these signs shall
follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall
speak with new tongues; 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. 19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto
them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. 20 And they went forth, and preached every
where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs
following. Amen.
