If you want to accept God's
offer in his Son, say a prayer like this:
Jesus, I confess that you are not only the
most important person in history, but you are the Creator and Savior of the
world. Lord Jesus, I need you. I have done wrong. Please forgive me of my sins
and come into my life. I ask you not just to be part of my life, but to guide me
to live according to the words I read in the Bible. Thank you for your mercy and
forgiveness. I am now committed to be your follower.
Amen.

The Book of Mark
Chapter 1
001:001 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ,
the Son of God;
001:002 As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send
my messenger
before thy face,
which shall prepare thy way before thee.
001:003 The voice of one crying in the wilderness,
Prepare ye the way
of the Lord,
make his paths straight.
001:004 John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach
the baptism of
repentance for the
remission of sins.
001:005 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.
001:006 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;
001:007 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.
001:008 I indeed have baptized you with water: but he
shall baptize
you with the Holy
Ghost.
001:009 And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus
came from
Nazareth of Galilee, and
was baptized of John in Jordan.
001:010 And straightway coming up out of the water, he
saw the heavens
opened, and the
Spirit like a dove descending upon him:
001:011 And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou
art my
beloved Son, in whom I am
well pleased.
001:012 And immediately the spirit driveth him into the wilderness.
001:013 And he was there in the wilderness forty days,
tempted of
Satan; and was with the
wild beasts; and the angels
ministered
unto him.
001:014 Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came
into
Galilee, preaching the gospel
of the kingdom of God,
001:015 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the
kingdom of God is
at hand: repent
ye, and believe the gospel.
001:016 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.
001:017 And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I
will make
you to become fishers of
men.
001:018 And straightway they forsook their nets, and followed him.
001:019 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.
001:020 And straightway he called them: and they left
their father
Zebedee in the ship
with the hired servants, and went
after
him.
001:021 And they went into Capernaum; and straightway on
the sabbath
day he entered into
the synagogue, and taught.
001:022 And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he
taught them
as one that had
authority, and not as the scribes.
001:023 And there was in their synagogue a man with an
unclean spirit;
and he cried
out,
001:024 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.
001:025 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace,
and come out of
him.
001:026 And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and
cried with a
loud voice, he came
out of him.
001:027 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.
001:028 And immediately his fame spread abroad throughout
all the
region round about
Galilee.
001:029 And forthwith, when they were come out of the
synagogue, they
entered into the
house of Simon and Andrew, with James
and
John.
001:030 But Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever,
and anon they
tell him of her.
001:031 And he came and took her by the hand, and lifted
her up; and
immediately the fever
left her, and she ministered unto them.
001:032 And at even, when the sun did set, they brought
unto him all
that were diseased,
and them that were possessed with devils.
001:033 And all the city was gathered together at the door.
001:034 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.
001:035 And in the morning, rising up a great while
before day, he
went out, and
departed into a solitary place, and
there
prayed.
001:036 And Simon and they that were with him followed after him.
001:037 And when they had found him, they said unto him,
All men seek
for thee.
001:038 And he said unto them, Let us go into the next
towns, that I
may preach there
also: for therefore came I forth.
001:039 And he preached in their synagogues throughout
all Galilee,
and cast out
devils.
001:040 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.
001:041 And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his
hand, and
touched him, and saith
unto him, I will; be thou clean.
001:042 And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the
leprosy departed
from him, and he
was cleansed.
001:043 And he straitly charged him, and forthwith sent him away;
001:044 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.
001:045 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.
002:001 And again he entered into Capernaum after some
days; and it
was noised that he
was in the house.
002:002 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.
002:003 And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the
palsy, which
was borne of
four.
002:004 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.
002:005 When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick
of the
palsy, Son, thy sins be
forgiven thee.
002:006 But there was certain of the scribes sitting
there, and
reasoning in their
hearts,
002:007 Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can
forgive sins
but God only?
002:008 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?
002:009 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?
002:010 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,)
002:011 I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and
go thy way
into thine house.
002:012 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.
002:013 And he went forth again by the sea side; and all
the multitude
resorted unto him,
and he taught them.
002:014 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.
002:015 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.
002:016 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?
002:017 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.
002:018 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?
002:019 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.
002:020 But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall
be taken
away from them, and then
shall they fast in those days.
002:021 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.
002:022 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.
002:023 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.
002:024 And the Pharisees said unto him, Behold, why do
they on the
sabbath day that which
is not lawful?
002:025 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?
002:026 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?
002:027 And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for
man, and not
man for the
sabbath:
002:028 Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.
003:001 And he entered again into the synagogue; and
there was a man
there which had a
withered hand.
003:002 And they watched him, whether he would heal him
on the sabbath
day; that they
might accuse him.
003:003 And he saith unto the man which had the withered
hand, Stand
forth.
003:004 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.
003:005 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.
003:006 And the Pharisees went forth, and straightway
took counsel
with the Herodians
against him, how they might destroy him.
003:007 But Jesus withdrew himself with his disciples to
the sea: and
a great multitude
from Galilee followed him, and from Judaea,
003:008 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.
003:009 And he spake to his disciples, that a small ship
should wait
on him because of the
multitude, lest they should throng him.
003:010 For he had healed many; insomuch that they
pressed upon him
for to touch him,
as many as had plagues.
003:011 And unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down
before him,
and cried, saying,
Thou art the Son of God.
003:012 And he straitly charged them that they should not
make him
known.
003:013 And he goeth up into a mountain, and calleth unto
him whom he
would: and they came
unto him.
003:014 And he ordained twelve, that they should be with
him, and that
he might send them
forth to preach,
003:015 And to have power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils:
003:016 And Simon he surnamed Peter;
003:017 And James the son of Zebedee, and John the
brother of James;
and he surnamed
them Boanerges, which is, The sons of thunder:
003:018 And Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and
Matthew, and
Thomas, and James the
son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus,
and
Simon the Canaanite,
003:019 And Judas Iscariot, which also betrayed him: and
they went
into an house.
003:020 And the multitude cometh together again, so that
they could
not so much as eat
bread.
003:021 And when his friends heard of it, they went out
to lay hold on
him: for they said,
He is beside himself.
003:022 And the scribes which came down from Jerusalem
said, He hath
Beelzebub, and by
the prince of the devils casteth he
out
devils.
003:023 And he called them unto him, and said unto them
in parables,
How can Satan cast
out Satan?
003:024 And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that
kingdom
cannot stand.
003:025 And if a house be divided against itself, that
house cannot
stand.
003:026 And if Satan rise up against himself, and be
divided, he
cannot stand, but hath
an end.
003:027 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.
003:028 Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven
unto the
sons of men, and
blasphemies wherewith soever they
shall
blaspheme:
003:029 But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy
Ghost hath never
forgiveness, but
is in danger of eternal damnation.
003:030 Because they said, He hath an unclean spirit.
003:031 There came then his brethren and his mother, and,
standing
without, sent unto him,
calling him.
003:032 And the multitude sat about him, and they said
unto him,
Behold, thy mother and
thy brethren without seek for thee.
003:033 And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother,
or my
brethren?
003:034 And he looked round about on them which sat about
him, and
said, Behold my mother
and my brethren!
003:035 For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same
is my
brother, and my sister, and
mother.
004:001 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.
004:002 And he taught them many things by parables, and
said unto them
in his
doctrine,
004:003 Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow:
004:004 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.
004:005 And some fell on stony ground, where it had not
much earth;
and immediately it
sprang up, because it had no depth
of
earth:
004:006 But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and
because it had
no root, it
withered away.
004:007 And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew
up, and choked
it, and it yielded
no fruit.
004:008 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.
004:009 And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear,
let him
hear.
004:010 And when he was alone, they that were about him
with the
twelve asked of him the
parable.
004:011 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:
004:012 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.
004:013 And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable?
and how then
will ye know all
parables?
004:014 The sower soweth the word.
004:015 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.
004:016 And these are they likewise which are sown on
stony ground;
who, when they have
heard the word, immediately receive
it
with gladness;
004:017 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.
004:018 And these are they which are sown among thorns;
such as hear
the word,
004:019 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.
004:020 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.
004:021 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?
004:022 For there is nothing hid, which shall not be
manifested;
neither was any thing
kept secret, but that it should
come
abroad.
004:023 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
004:024 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.
004:025 For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he
that hath not,
from him shall be
taken even that which he hath.
004:026 And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a
man should cast
seed into the
ground;
004:027 And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the
seed should
spring and grow up, he
knoweth not how.
004:028 For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself;
first the
blade, then the ear,
after that the full corn in the ear.
004:029 But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately
he putteth in
the sickle, because
the harvest is come.
004:030 And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom
of God? or
with what comparison
shall we compare it?
004:031 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:
004:032 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.
004:033 And with many such parables spake he the word
unto them, as
they were able to
hear it.
004:034 But without a parable spake he not unto them: and
when they
were alone, he expounded
all things to his disciples.
004:035 And the same day, when the even was come, he
saith unto them,
Let us pass over
unto the other side.
004:036 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.
004:037 And there arose a great storm of wind, and the
waves beat into
the ship, so that
it was now full.
004:038 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?
004:039 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.
004:040 And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how
is it that
ye have no faith?
004:041 And they feared exceedingly, and said one to
another, What
manner of man is
this, that even the wind and the sea
obey
him?
005:001 And they came over unto the other side of the
sea, into the
country of the
Gadarenes.
005:002 And when he was come out of the ship, immediately
there met
him out of the tombs a
man with an unclean spirit,
005:003 Who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no man
could bind
him, no, not with
chains:
005:004 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.
005:005 And always, night and day, he was in the
mountains, and in the
tombs,
crying, and cutting himself with stones.
005:006 But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him,
005:007 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.
005:008 For he said unto him, Come out of the man, thou
unclean
spirit.
005:009 And he asked him, What is thy name? And he
answered, saying,
My name is
Legion: for we are many.
005:010 And he besought him much that he would not send
them away out
of the country.
005:011 Now there was there nigh unto the mountains a
great herd of
swine feeding.
005:012 And all the devils besought him, saying, Send us
into the
swine, that we may enter
into them.
005:013 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.
005:014 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.
005:015 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.
005:016 And they that saw it told them how it befell to
him that was
possessed with the
devil, and also concerning the swine.
005:017 And they began to pray him to depart out of their coasts.
005:018 And when he was come into the ship, he that had
been possessed
with the devil
prayed him that he might be with him.
005:019 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.
005:020 And he departed, and began to publish in
Decapolis how great
things Jesus
had done for him: and all men did marvel.
005:021 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.
005:022 And, behold, there cometh one of the rulers of
the synagogue,
Jairus by name; and
when he saw him, he fell at his feet,
005:023 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.
005:024 And Jesus went with him; and much people followed
him, and
thronged him.
005:025 And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years,
005:026 And had suffered many things of many physicians,
and had spent
all that she had,
and was nothing bettered, but rather
grew
worse,
005:027 When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press
behind, and
touched his
garment.
005:028 For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I
shall be
whole.
005:029 And straightway the fountain of her blood was
dried up; and
she felt in her body
that she was healed of that plague.
005:030 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?
005:031 And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the
multitude
thronging thee, and
sayest thou, Who touched me?
005:032 And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing.
005:033 But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what
was done in
her, came and fell
down before him, and told him all
the
truth.
005:034 And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath
made thee
whole; go in peace, and
be whole of thy plague.
005:035 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?
005:036 As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken,
he saith unto
the ruler of the
synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe.
005:037 And he suffered no man to follow him, save Peter,
and James,
and John the brother of
James.
005:038 And he cometh to the house of the ruler of the
synagogue, and
seeth the tumult,
and them that wept and wailed greatly.
005:039 And when he was come in, he saith unto them, Why
make ye this
ado, and weep? the
damsel is not dead, but sleepeth.
005:040 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.
005:041 And he took the damsel by the hand, and said unto
her, Talitha
cumi; which is, being
interpreted, Damsel, I say unto
thee,
arise.
005:042 And straightway the damsel arose, and walked; for
she was of
the age of twelve
years. And they were astonished with a
great
astonishment.
005:043 And he charged them straitly that no man should
know it; and
commanded that
something should be given her to eat.
006:001 And he went out from thence, and came into his
own country;
and his disciples
follow him.
006:002 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?
006:003 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.
006:004 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.
006:005 And he could there do no mighty work, save that
he laid his
hands upon a few sick
folk, and healed them.
006:006 And he marvelled because of their unbelief. And
he went round
about the villages,
teaching.
006:007 And he called unto him the twelve, and began to
send them
forth by two and two;
and gave them power over unclean
spirits;
006:008 And commanded them that they should take nothing
for their
journey, save a staff
only; no scrip, no bread, no money
in
their purse:
006:009 But be shod with sandals; and not put on two coats.
006:010 And he said unto them, In what place soever ye
enter into an
house, there abide
till ye depart from that place.
006:011 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.
006:012 And they went out, and preached that men should repent.
006:013 And they cast out many devils, and anointed with
oil many that
were sick, and
healed them.
006:014 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.
006:015 Others said, That it is Elias. And others said,
That it is a
prophet, or as one of the prophets.
006:016 But when Herod heard thereof, he said, It is
John, whom I
beheaded: he is risen from the dead.
006:017 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.
006:018 For John had said unto Herod, It is not lawful
for thee to
have thy brother's wife.
006:019 Therefore Herodias had a quarrel against him,
and would have
killed him; but
she could not:
006:020 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.
006:021 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;
006:022 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.
006:023 And he sware unto her, Whatsoever thou shalt ask
of me, I will
give it thee, unto the half of my kingdom.
006:024 And she went forth, and said unto her mother,
What shall I
ask? And she said, The head of John the Baptist.
006:025 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.
006:026 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.
006:027 And immediately the king sent an executioner,
and commanded
his head to be brought: and he went and beheaded him in the
prison,
006:028 And brought his head in a charger, and gave it
to the damsel:
and the damsel
gave it to her mother.
006:029 And when his disciples heard of it, they came
and took up his
corpse, and laid
it in a tomb.
006:030 And the apostles gathered themselves together
unto Jesus, and
told him all
things, both what they had done, and what they
had taught.
006:031 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.
006:032 And they departed into a desert place by ship privately.
006:033 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.
006:034 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.
006:035 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:
006:036 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.
006:037 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?
006:038 He saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? go
and see. And
when they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes.
006:039 And he commanded them to make all sit down by
companies upon
the green
grass.
006:040 And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties.
006:041 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.
006:042 And they did all eat, and were filled.
006:043 And they took up twelve baskets full of the
fragments, and of
the fishes.
006:044 And they that did eat of the loaves were about
five thousand
men.
006:045 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.
006:046 And when he had sent them away, he departed into
a mountain to
pray.
006:047 And when even was come, the ship was in the
midst of the sea,
and he alone on
the land.
006:048 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.
006:049 But when they saw him walking upon the sea, they
supposed it
had been a spirit, and cried out:
006:050 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.
006:051 And he went up unto them into the ship; and the
wind ceased:
and they were sore amazed in themselves beyond measure, and
wondered.
006:052 For they considered not the miracle of the
loaves: for their
heart was
hardened.
006:053 And when they had passed over, they came into
the land of
Gennesaret, and drew to the shore.
006:054 And when they were come out of the ship,
straightway they knew
him,
006:055 And ran through that whole region round about,
and began to
carry about in beds those that were sick, where they heard he
was.
006:056 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.
007:001 Then came together unto him the Pharisees, and
certain of the
scribes, which
came from Jerusalem.
007:002 And when they saw some of his disciples eat
bread with
defiled, that is to say, with unwashen, hands, they found
fault.
007:003 For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they
wash their
hands oft, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders.
007:004 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.
007:005 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?
007:006 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.
007:007 Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for
doctrines the
commandments of men.
007:008 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.
007:009 And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the
commandment of
God, that ye may
keep your own tradition.
007:010 For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy
mother; and, Whoso
curseth father
or mother, let him die the death:
007:011 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.
007:012 And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his
father or his
mother;
007:013 Making the word of God of none effect through
your tradition,
which ye have
delivered: and many such like things do ye.
007:014 And when he had called all the people unto him,
he said unto
them, Hearken unto me every one of you, and understand:
007:015 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.
007:016 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
007:017 And when he was entered into the house from the
people, his
disciples asked him concerning the parable.
007:018 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;
007:019 Because it entereth not into his heart, but into
the belly,
and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats?
007:020 And he said, That which cometh out of the man,
that defileth
the man.
007:021 For from within, out of the heart of men,
proceed evil
thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
007:022 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit,
lasciviousness, an
evil eye,
blasphemy, pride, foolishness:
007:023 All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.
007:024 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.
007:025 For a certain woman, whose young daughter had an
unclean
spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet:
007:026 The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by
nation; and she
besought him
that he would cast forth the devil out of her
daughter.
007:027 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.
007:028 And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord:
yet the dogs
under the table eat of the children's crumbs.
007:029 And he said unto her, For this saying go thy
way; the devil is
gone out of thy
daughter.
007:030 And when she was come to her house, she found
the devil gone
out, and her
daughter laid upon the bed.
007:031 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.
007:032 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.
007:033 And he took him aside from the multitude, and
put his fingers
into his ears,
and he spit, and touched his tongue;
007:034 And looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith
unto him,
Ephphatha, that is, Be opened.
007:035 And straightway his ears were opened, and the
string of his
tongue was loosed, and he spake plain.
007:036 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;
007:037 And were beyond measure astonished, saying, He
hath done all
things well: he maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to
speak.
008:001 In those days the multitude being very great,
and having
nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples unto him, and saith
unto them,
008:002 I have compassion on the multitude, because they
have now been
with me three days, and have nothing to eat:
008:003 And if I send them away fasting to their own
houses, they will
faint by the
way: for divers of them came from far.
008:004 And his disciples answered him, From whence can
a man satisfy
these men with bread here in the wilderness?
008:005 And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And
they said,
Seven.
008:006 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.
008:007 And they had a few small fishes: and he blessed,
and commanded
to set them also before them.
008:008 So they did eat, and were filled: and they took
up of the
broken meat that was left seven baskets.
008:009 And they that had eaten were about four
thousand: and he sent
them away.
008:010 And straightway he entered into a ship with his
disciples, and
came into the
parts of Dalmanutha.
008:011 And the Pharisees came forth, and began to
question with him,
seeking of him a
sign from heaven, tempting him.
008:012 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.
008:013 And he left them, and entering into the ship
again departed to
the other
side.
008:014 Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread,
neither had
they in the ship with them more than one loaf.
008:015 And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware
of the leaven
of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod.
008:016 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It
is because we
have no bread.
008:017 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?
008:018 Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear
ye not? and do
ye not
remember?
008:019 When I brake the five loaves among five
thousand, how many
baskets full of
fragments took ye up? They say unto him,
Twelve.
008:020 And when the seven among four thousand, how many
baskets full
of fragments took ye up? And they said, Seven.
008:021 And he said unto them, How is it that ye do not understand?
008:022 And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring a
blind man unto
him, and
besought him to touch him.
008:023 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.
008:024 And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking.
008:025 After that he put his hands again upon his eyes,
and made him
look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly.
008:026 And he sent him away to his house, saying,
Neither go into the
town, nor tell
it to any in the town.
008:027 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?
008:028 And they answered, John the Baptist; but some
say, Elias; and
others, One of
the prophets.
008:029 And he saith unto them, But whom say ye that I
am? And Peter
answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ.
008:030 And he charged them that they should tell no man of him.
008:031 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.
008:032 And he spake that saying openly. And Peter took
him, and began
to rebuke
him.
008:033 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.
008:034 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.
008:035 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.
008:036 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain
the whole
world, and lose his own soul?
008:037 Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
008:038 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.
009:001 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.
009:002 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.
009:003 And his raiment became shining, exceeding white
as snow; so as
no fuller on
earth can white them.
009:004 And there appeared unto them Elias with Moses:
and they were
talking with Jesus.
009:005 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.
009:006 For he wist not what to say; for they were sore afraid.
009:007 And there was a cloud that overshadowed them:
and a voice came
out of the
cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.
009:008 And suddenly, when they had looked round about,
they saw no
man any more, save Jesus only with themselves.
009:009 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.
009:010 And they kept that saying with themselves,
questioning one
with another
what the rising from the dead should mean.
009:011 And they asked him, saying, Why say the scribes
that Elias
must first come?
009:012 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.
009:013 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.
009:014 And when he came to his disciples, he saw a
great multitude
about them, and
the scribes questioning with them.
009:015 And straightway all the people, when they beheld
him, were
greatly amazed, and running to him saluted him.
009:016 And he asked the scribes, What question ye with them?
009:017 And one of the multitude answered and said,
Master, I have
brought unto
thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit;
009:018 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.
009:019 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.
009:020 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.
009:021 And he asked his father, How long is it ago
since this came
unto him? And he
said, Of a child.
009:022 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.
009:023 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all
things are
possible to him that believeth.
009:024 And straightway the father of the child cried
out, and said
with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.
009:025 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.
009:026 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.
009:027 But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him
up; and he
arose.
009:028 And when he was come into the house, his
disciples asked him
privately, Why
could not we cast him out?
009:029 And he said unto them, This kind can come forth
by nothing,
but by prayer and fasting.
009:030 And they departed thence, and passed through
Galilee; and he
would not that
any man should know it.
009:031 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.
009:032 But they understood not that saying, and were
afraid to ask
him.
009:033 And he came to Capernaum: and being in the house
he asked
them, What was it that ye disputed among yourselves by the
way?
009:034 But they held their peace: for by the way they
had disputed
among themselves, who should be the greatest.
009:035 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.
009:036 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,
009:037 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.
009:038 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.
009:039 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.
009:040 For he that is not against us is on our part.
009:041 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.
009:042 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.
009:043 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:
009:044 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
009:045 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:
009:046 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
009:047 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:
009:048 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
009:049 For every one shall be salted with fire, and
every sacrifice
shall be salted
with salt.
009:050 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.
010:001 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.
010:002 And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him, Is
it lawful for
a man to put away his wife? tempting him.
010:003 And he answered and said unto them, What did
Moses command
you?
010:004 And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of
divorcement,
and to put her away.
010:005 And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the
hardness of
your heart he wrote you this precept.
010:006 But from the beginning of the creation God made
them male and
female.
010:007 For this cause shall a man leave his father and
mother, and
cleave to his wife;
010:008 And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they
are no more
twain, but one flesh.
010:009 What therefore God hath joined together, let not
man put
asunder.
010:010 And in the house his disciples asked him again
of the same
matter.
010:011 And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away
his wife, and
marry another, committeth adultery against her.
010:012 And if a woman shall put away her husband, and
be married to
another, she committeth adultery.
010:013 And they brought young children to him, that he
should touch
them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them.
010:014 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.
010:015 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not
receive the kingdom
of God as a
little child, he shall not enter therein.
010:016 And he took them up in his arms, put his hands
upon them, and
blessed
them.
010:017 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?
010:018 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me
good? there is
none good but
one, that is, God.
010:019 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.
010:020 And he answered and said unto him, Master, all
these have I
observed from my youth.
010:021 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.
010:022 And he was sad at that saying, and went away
grieved: for he
had great
possessions.
010:023 And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his
disciples,
How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom
of God!
010:024 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!
010:025 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.
010:026 And they were astonished out of measure, saying
among
themselves, Who then can be saved?
010:027 And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it
is impossible,
but not with
God: for with God all things are possible.
010:028 Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have
left all, and
have followed thee.
010:029 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,
010:030 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.
010:031 But many that are first shall be last; and the last first.
010:032 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,
010:033 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:
010:034 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.
010:035 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.
010:036 And he said unto them, What would ye that I should do for you?
010:037 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.
010:038 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?
010:039 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:
010:040 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.
010:041 And when the ten heard it, they began to be much
displeased
with James and John.
010:042 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.
010:043 But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever
will be great
among you, shall be your minister:
010:044 And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall
be servant of
all.
010:045 For even the Son of man came not to be
ministered unto, but to
minister, and to
give his life a ransom for many.
010:046 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.
010:047 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.
010:048 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.
010:049 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.
010:050 And he, casting away his garment, rose, and came to Jesus.
010:051 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.
010:052 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.
011:001 And when they came nigh to Jerusalem, unto
Bethphage and
Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sendeth forth two of his
disciples,
011:002 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.
011:003 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.
011:004 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.
011:005 And certain of them that stood there said unto
them, What do
ye, loosing the colt?
011:006 And they said unto them even as Jesus had
commanded: and they
let them go.
011:007 And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast
their garments on
him; and he sat
upon him.
011:008 And many spread their garments in the way: and
others cut down
branches off the
trees, and strawed them in the way.
011:009 And they that went before, and they that
followed, cried,
saying, Hosanna;
Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the
Lord:
011:010 Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that
cometh in the
name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.
011:011 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.
011:012 And on the morrow, when they were come from
Bethany, he was
hungry:
011:013 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.
011:014 And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat
fruit of thee
hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it.
011:015 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;
011:016 And would not suffer that any man should carry
any vessel
through the temple.
011:017 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.
011:018 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.
011:019 And when even was come, he went out of the city.
011:020 And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw
the fig tree
dried up from the roots.
011:021 And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him,
Master,
behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.
011:022 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
011:023 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.
011:024 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye
desire, when
ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
011:025 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.
011:026 But if ye do not forgive, neither will your
Father which is in
heaven forgive
your trespasses.
011:027 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,
011:028 And say unto him, By what authority doest thou
these things?
and who gave thee this authority to do these things?
011:029 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.
011:030 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men? answer me.
011:031 And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we
shall say,
From heaven; he will say, Why then did ye not believe him?
011:032 But if we shall say, Of men; they feared the
people: for all
men counted
John, that he was a prophet indeed.
011:033 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.
012:001 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.
012:002 And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a
servant, that he
might receive
from the husbandmen of the fruit of the
vineyard.
012:003 And they caught him, and beat him, and sent him away empty.
012:004 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.
012:005 And again he sent another; and him they killed,
and many
others; beating some, and killing some.
012:006 Having yet therefore one son, his wellbeloved,
he sent him
also last unto them, saying, They will reverence my son.
012:007 But those husbandmen said among themselves, This
is the heir;
come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be our's.
012:008 And they took him, and killed him, and cast him
out of the
vineyard.
012:009 What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard
do? he will come
and destroy the
husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto
others.
012:010 And have ye not read this scripture; The stone
which the
builders rejected is become the head of the corner:
012:011 This was the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?
012:012 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.
012:013 And they send unto him certain of the Pharisees
and of the
Herodians, to catch him in his words.
012:014 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?
012:015 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.
012:016 And they brought it. And he saith unto them,
Whose is this
image and superscription? And they said unto him, Caesar's.
012:017 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.
012:018 Then come unto him the Sadducees, which say
there is no
resurrection; and they asked him, saying,
012:019 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.
012:020 Now there were seven brethren: and the first
took a wife, and
dying left no
seed.
012:021 And the second took her, and died, neither left
he any seed:
and the third likewise.
012:022 And the seven had her, and left no seed: last of
all the woman
died also.
012:023 In the resurrection therefore, when they shall
rise, whose
wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife.
012:024 And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not
therefore err,
because ye know
not the scriptures, neither the power of God?
012:025 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.
012:026 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?
012:027 He is not the God of the dead, but the God of
the living: ye
therefore do
greatly err.
012:028 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?
012:029 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the
commandments is,
Hear, O Israel;
The Lord our God is one Lord:
012:030 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.
012:031 And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt
love thy
neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater
than these.
012:032 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:
012:033 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.
012:034 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.
012:035 And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in
the temple,
How say the scribes that Christ is the son of David?
012:036 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.
012:037 David therefore himself calleth him Lord; and
whence is he
then his son? And the common people heard him gladly.
012:038 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,
012:039 And the chief seats in the synagogues, and the
uppermost rooms
at feasts:
012:040 Which devour widows' houses, and for a pretence
make long
prayers: these shall receive greater damnation.
012:041 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.
012:042 And there came a certain poor widow, and she
threw in two
mites, which make a farthing.
012:043 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:
012:044 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.
013:001 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!
013:002 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.
013:003 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives over
against the
temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him
privately,
013:004 Tell us, when shall these things be? and what
shall be the
sign when all these things shall be fulfilled?
013:005 And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed
lest any man
deceive you:
013:006 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am
Christ; and shall
deceive
many.
013:007 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.
013:008 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.
013:009 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.
013:010 And the gospel must first be published among all nations.
013:011 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.
013:012 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.
013:013 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.
013:014 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:
013:015 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:
013:016 And let him that is in the field not turn back
again for to
take up his garment.
013:017 But woe to them that are with child, and to them
that give
suck in those days!
013:018 And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter.
013:019 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.
013:020 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.
013:021 And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here
is Christ; or,
lo, he is there;
believe him not:
013:022 For false Christs and false prophets shall rise,
and shall
shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even
the elect.
013:023 But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.
013:024 But in those days, after that tribulation, the
sun shall be
darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,
013:025 And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the
powers that are in
heaven shall be
shaken.
013:026 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in
the clouds
with great power and glory.
013:027 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.
013:028 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her
branch is yet
tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near:
013:029 So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these
things come to
pass, know that
it is nigh, even at the doors.
013:030 Verily I say unto you, that this generation
shall not pass,
till all these
things be done.
013:031 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words
shall not pass
away.
013:032 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man,
no, not the
angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.
013:033 Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not
when the time
is.
013:034 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.
013:035 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:
013:036 Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.
013:037 And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.
014:001 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.
014:002 But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there
be an uproar
of the people.
014:003 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.
014:004 And there were some that had indignation within
themselves,
and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made?
014:005 For it might have been sold for more than three
hundred pence,
and have been
given to the poor. And they murmured against
her.
014:006 And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye
her? she hath
wrought a good work on me.
014:007 For ye have the poor with you always, and
whensoever ye will
ye may do them
good: but me ye have not always.
014:008 She hath done what she could: she is come
aforehand to anoint
my body to the
burying.
014:009 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.
014:010 And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went unto
the chief
priests, to betray him unto them.
014:011 And when they heard it, they were glad, and
promised to give
him money. And
he sought how he might conveniently betray him.
014:012 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?
014:013 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.
014:014 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?
014:015 And he will shew you a large upper room
furnished and
prepared: there make ready for us.
014:016 And his disciples went forth, and came into the
city, and
found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the
passover.
014:017 And in the evening he cometh with the twelve.
014:018 And as they sat and did eat, Jesus said, Verily
I say unto
you, One of you which eateth with me shall betray me.
014:019 And they began to be sorrowful, and to say unto
him one by
one, Is it I? and another said, Is it I?
014:020 And he answered and said unto them, It is one of
the twelve,
that dippeth with me in the dish.
014:021 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.
014:022 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.
014:023 And he took the cup, and when he had given
thanks, he gave it
to them: and
they all drank of it.
014:024 And he said unto them, This is my blood of the
new testament,
which is shed
for many.
014:025 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.
014:026 And when they had sung an hymn, they went out
into the mount
of Olives.
014:027 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.
014:028 But after that I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee.
014:029 But Peter said unto him, Although all shall be
offended, yet
will not I.
014:030 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.
014:031 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.
014:032 And they came to a place which was named
Gethsemane: and he
saith to his
disciples, Sit ye here, while I shall pray.
014:033 And he taketh with him Peter and James and John,
and began to
be sore amazed, and to be very heavy;
014:034 And saith unto them, My soul is exceeding
sorrowful unto
death: tarry ye
here, and watch.
014:035 And he went forward a little, and fell on the
ground, and
prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from
him.
014:036 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.
014:037 And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and
saith unto
Peter, Simon, sleepest thou? couldest not thou watch one hour?
014:038 Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into
temptation. The spirit
truly is ready,
but the flesh is weak.
014:039 And again he went away, and prayed, and spake the same words.
014:040 And when he returned, he found them asleep
again, (for their
eyes were
heavy,) neither wist they what to answer him.
014:041 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.
014:042 Rise up, let us go; lo, he that betrayeth me is at hand.
014:043 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.
014:044 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.
014:045 And as soon as he was come, he goeth straightway
to him, and
saith, Master, master; and kissed him.
014:046 And they laid their hands on him, and took him.
014:047 And one of them that stood by drew a sword, and
smote a
servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.
014:048 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Are ye
come out, as
against a thief, with swords and with staves to take me?
014:049 I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and
ye took me
not: but the scriptures must be fulfilled.
014:050 And they all forsook him, and fled.
014:051 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:
014:052 And he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked.
014:053 And they led Jesus away to the high priest: and
with him were
assembled all the chief priests and the elders and the
scribes.
014:054 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.
014:055 And the chief priests and all the council sought
for witness
against Jesus to put him to death; and found none.
014:056 For many bare false witness against him, but
their witness
agreed not together.
014:057 And there arose certain, and bare false witness
against him,
saying,
014:058 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.
014:059 But neither so did their witness agree together.
014:060 And the high priest stood up in the midst, and
asked Jesus,
saying, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness
against
thee?
014:061 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?
014:062 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.
014:063 Then the high priest rent his clothes, and
saith, What need we
any further
witnesses?
014:064 Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye? And
they all
condemned him to be guilty of death.
014:065 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.
014:066 And as Peter was beneath in the palace, there
cometh one of
the maids of the high priest:
014:067 And when she saw Peter warming himself, she
looked upon him,
and said, And
thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth.
014:068 But he denied, saying, I know not, neither
understand I what
thou sayest. And
he went out into the porch; and the cock
crew.
014:069 And a maid saw him again, and began to say to
them that stood
by, This is one
of them.
014:070 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.
014:071 But he began to curse and to swear, saying, I
know not this
man of whom ye speak.
014:072 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.
015:001 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.
015:002 And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the
Jews? And he
answering said unto them, Thou sayest it.
015:003 And the chief priests accused him of many
things: but he
answered
nothing.
015:004 And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest
thou nothing?
behold how many things they witness against thee.
015:005 But Jesus yet answered nothing; so that Pilate marvelled.
015:006 Now at that feast he released unto them one
prisoner,
whomsoever they desired.
015:007 And there was one named Barabbas, which lay
bound with them
that had made
insurrection with him, who had committed murder
in the
insurrection.
015:008 And the multitude crying aloud began to desire
him to do as he
had ever done
unto them.
015:009 But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I
release unto
you the King of the Jews?
015:010 For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy.
015:011 But the chief priests moved the people, that he
should rather
release Barabbas unto them.
015:012 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?
015:013 And they cried out again, Crucify him.
015:014 Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath
he done? And
they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him.
015:015 And so Pilate, willing to content the people,
released
Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged
him, to be
crucified.
015:016 And the soldiers led him away into the hall,
called
Praetorium; and they call together the whole band.
015:017 And they clothed him with purple, and platted a
crown of
thorns, and put it about his head,
015:018 And began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews!
015:019 And they smote him on the head with a reed, and
did spit upon
him, and bowing their knees worshipped him.
015:020 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.
015:021 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.
015:022 And they bring him unto the place Golgotha,
which is, being
interpreted, The
place of a skull.
015:023 And they gave him to drink wine mingled with
myrrh: but he
received it not.
015:024 And when they had crucified him, they parted his
garments,
casting lots upon them, what every man should take.
015:025 And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.
015:026 And the superscription of his accusation was
written over, THE
KING OF THE
JEWS.
015:027 And with him they crucify two thieves; the one
on his right
hand, and the other on his left.
015:028 And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith,
And he was
numbered with the transgressors.
015:029 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,
015:030 Save thyself, and come down from the cross.
015:031 Likewise also the chief priests mocking said
among themselves
with the
scribes, He saved others; himself he cannot save.
015:032 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.
015:033 And when the sixth hour was come, there was
darkness over the
whole land until
the ninth hour.
015:034 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?
015:035 And some of them that stood by, when they heard
it, said,
Behold, he calleth Elias.
015:036 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.
015:037 And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost.
015:038 And the veil of the temple was rent in twain
from the top to
the bottom.
015:039 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.
015:040 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;
015:041 (Who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him,
and
ministered unto him;) and many other women which came up with
him unto
Jerusalem.
015:042 And now when the even was come, because it was
the
preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath,
015:043 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.
015:044 And Pilate marvelled if he were already dead:
and calling unto
him the
centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while
dead.
015:045 And when he knew it of the centurion, he gave
the body to
Joseph.
015:046 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.
015:047 And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses
beheld where
he was laid.
016:001 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.
016:002 And very early in the morning the first day of
the week, they
came unto the
sepulchre at the rising of the sun.
016:003 And they said among themselves, Who shall roll
us away the
stone from the door of the sepulchre?
016:004 And when they looked, they saw that the stone
was rolled away:
for it was very
great.
016:005 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.
016:006 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.
016:007 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.
016:008 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.
016:009 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.
016:010 And she went and told them that had been with
him, as they
mourned and wept.
016:011 And they, when they had heard that he was alive,
and had been
seen of her, believed not.
016:012 After that he appeared in another form unto two
of them, as
they walked, and went into the country.
016:013 And they went and told it unto the residue:
neither believed
they them.
016:014 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.
016:015 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world,
and preach
the gospel to every creature.
016:016 He that believeth and is baptized shall be
saved; but he that
believeth not
shall be damned.
016:017 And these signs shall follow them that believe;
In my name
shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
016:018 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.
016:019 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he
was received
up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.
016:020 And they went forth, and preached every where,
the Lord
working with them, and confirming the word with signs
following.
Amen.
