MR-1:1   Expanded Dictionary Study

  -1:1  The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of

God;

MR-1:2  As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my

messenger before

thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.

MR-1:3  The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye

the way of the

Lord, make his paths straight.

MR-1:4  John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the

baptism of

repentance for the remission of sins.

MR-1:5  And there went out unto him all the land of Judaea, and

they of

Jerusalem, and were all baptized of him in the river of Jordan,

confessing

their sins.

MR-1:6  And John was clothed with camel's hair, and with a

girdle of a skin

about his loins; and he did eat locusts and wild honey;

MR-1:7  And preached, saying, There cometh one mightier than I

after me, the

latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose.

MR-1:8  I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall

baptize you with

the Holy Ghost.

MR-1:9  And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from

Nazareth of

Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan.

MR-1:10  And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the

heavens

opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him:

MR-1:11  And there came a voice from heaven, [saying], Thou art

my beloved

Son, in whom I am well pleased.

MR-1:12  And immediately the Spirit driveth him into the

wilderness.

MR-1:13  And he was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted

of Satan; and

was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto him.

MR-1:14  Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into

Galilee,

preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,

MR-1:15  And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of

God is at hand:

repent ye, and believe the gospel.

MR-1:16  Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon

and Andrew his

brother casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.

MR-1:17  And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will

make you to

become fishers of men.

MR-1:18  And straightway they forsook their nets, and followed

him.

MR-1:19  And when he had gone a little farther thence, he saw

James the [son]

of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the ship

mending their

nets.

MR-1:20  And straightway he called them: and they left their

father Zebedee in

the ship with the hired servants, and went after him.

MR-1:21  And they went into Capernaum; and straightway on the

sabbath day he

entered into the synagogue, and taught.

MR-1:22  And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught

them as one

that had authority, and not as the scribes.

MR-1:23  And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean

spirit; and he

cried out,

MR-1:24  Saying, Let [us] alone; what have we to do with thee,

thou Jesus of

Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art,

the Holy One

of God.

MR-1:25  And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come

out of him.

MR-1:26  And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried

with a loud

voice, he came out of him.

MR-1:27  And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned

among

themselves, saying, What thing is this? what new doctrine [is]

this? for with

authority commandeth he even the unclean spirits, and they do

obey him.

MR-1:28  And immediately his fame spread abroad throughout all

the region

round about Galilee.

MR-1:29  And forthwith, when they were come out of the synagogue,

 they entered

into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.

MR-1:30  But Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever, and anon

they tell him

of her.

MR-1:31  And he came and took her by the hand, and lifted her up;

 and

immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them.

MR-1:32  And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto

him all that

were diseased, and them that were possessed with devils.

MR-1:33  And all the city was gathered together at the door.

MR-1:34  And he healed many that were sick of divers diseases,

and cast out

many devils; and suffered not the devils to speak, because they

knew him.

MR-1:35  And in the morning, rising up a great while before day,

he went out,

and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.

MR-1:36  And Simon and they that were with him followed after

him.

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

[men] seek for

thee.

MR-1:38  And he said unto them, Let us go into the next towns,

that I may

preach there also: for therefore came I forth.

MR-1:39  And he preached in their synagogues throughout all

Galilee, and cast

out devils.

MR-1:40  And there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and

kneeling down to

him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

MR-1:41  And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth [his] hand,

and touched

him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean.

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

departed from

him, and he was cleansed.

MR-1:43  And he straitly charged him, and forthwith sent him

away;

MR-1:44  And saith unto him, See thou say nothing to any man:

but go thy way,

shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing those

things which

Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.

MR-1:45  But he went out, and began to publish [it] much, and to

blaze abroad

the matter, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly enter into

the city, but

was without in desert places: and they came to him from every

quarter.

MR-2:1  And again he entered into Capernaum after [some] days;

and it was

noised that he was in the house.

MR-2:2  And straightway many were gathered together, insomuch

that there was

no room to receive [them], no, not so much as about the door:

and he preached

the word unto them.

MR-2:3  And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy,

which was

borne of four.

MR-2:4  And when they could not come nigh unto him for the press,

 they

uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken [it]

up, they let

down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay.

MR-2:5  When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the

palsy, Son,

thy sins be forgiven thee.

MR-2:6  But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and

reasoning in

their hearts,

MR-2:7  Why doth this [man] thus speak blasphemies? who can

forgive sins but

God only?

MR-2:8  And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that

they so

reasoned within themselves, he said unto them, Why reason ye

these things in

your hearts?

MR-2:9  Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy,

[Thy] sins be

forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk?

MR-2:10  But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on

earth to

forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,)

MR-2:11  I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy

way into

thine house.

MR-2:12  And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went

forth before them

all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God,

saying, We never

saw it on this fashion.

MR-2:13  And he went forth again by the sea side; and all the

multitude

resorted unto him, and he taught them.

MR-2:14  And as he passed by, he saw Levi the [son] of Alphaeus

sitting at the

receipt of custom, and said unto him, Follow me. And he arose

and followed

him.

MR-2:15  And it came to pass, that, as Jesus sat at meat in his

house, many

publicans and sinners sat also together with Jesus and his

disciples: for

there were many, and they followed him.

MR-2:16  And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with

publicans and

sinners, they said unto his disciples, How is it that he eateth

and drinketh

with publicans and sinners?

MR-2:17  When Jesus heard [it], he saith unto them, They that

are whole have

no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to

call the

righteous, but sinners to repentance.

MR-2:18  And the disciples of John and of the Pharisees used to

fast: and they

come and say unto him, Why do the disciples of John and of the

Pharisees fast,

but thy disciples fast not?

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

bridechamber fast,

while the bridegroom is with them? as long as they have the

bridegroom with

them, they cannot fast.

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

taken away from

them, and then shall they fast in those days.

MR-2:21  No man also seweth a piece of new cloth on an old

garment: else the

new piece that filled it up taketh away from the old, and the

rent is made

worse.

MR-2:22  And no man putteth new wine into old bottles: else the

new wine doth

burst the bottles, and the wine is spilled, and the bottles will

be marred:

but new wine must be put into new bottles.

MR-2:23  And it came to pass, that he went through the corn

fields on the

sabbath day; and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the

ears of corn.

MR-2:24  And the Pharisees said unto him, Behold, why do they on

the sabbath

day that which is not lawful?

MR-2:25  And he said unto them, Have ye never read what David

did, when he had

need, and was an hungred, he, and they that were with him?

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

Abiathar the high

priest, and did eat the shewbread, which is not lawful to eat

but for the

priests, and gave also to them which were with him?

MR-2:27  And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man,

and not man for

the sabbath:

MR-2:28  Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.

MR-3:1  And he entered again into the synagogue; and there was a

man there

which had a withered hand.

MR-3:2  And they watched him, whether he would heal him on the

sabbath day;

that they might accuse him.

MR-3:3  And he saith unto the man which had the withered hand,

Stand forth.

MR-3:4  And he saith unto them, Is it lawful to do good on the

sabbath days,

or to do evil? to save life, or to kill? But they held their

peace.

MR-3:5  And when he had looked round about on them with anger,

being grieved

for the hardness of their hearts, he saith unto the man, Stretch

forth thine

hand. And he stretched [it] out: and his hand was restored whole

as the other.

MR-3:6  And the Pharisees went forth, and straightway took

counsel with the

Herodians against him, how they might destroy him.

MR-3:7  But Jesus withdrew himself with his disciples to the sea:

 and a great

multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judaea,

MR-3:8  And from Jerusalem, and from Idumaea, and [from] beyond

Jordan; and

they about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, when they had

heard what great

things he did, came unto him.

MR-3:9  And he spake to his disciples, that a small ship should

wait on him

because of the multitude, lest they should throng him.

MR-3:10  For he had healed many; insomuch that they pressed upon

him for to

touch him, as many as had plagues.

MR-3:11  And unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down

before him, and

cried, saying, Thou art the Son of God.

MR-3:12  And he straitly charged them that they should not make

him known.

MR-3:13  And he goeth up into a mountain, and calleth [unto him]

whom he

would: and they came unto him.

MR-3:14  And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him,

and that he

might send them forth to preach,

MR-3:15  And to have power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out

devils:

MR-3:16  And Simon he surnamed Peter;

MR-3:17  And James the [son] of Zebedee, and John the brother of

James; and he

surnamed them Boanerges, which is, The sons of thunder:

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

and Thomas, and

James the [son] of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the

Canaanite,

MR-3:19  And Judas Iscariot, which also betrayed him: and they

went into an

house.

MR-3:20  And the multitude cometh together again, so that they

could not so

much as eat bread.

MR-3:21  And when his friends heard [of it], they went out to

lay hold on him:

for they said, He is beside himself.

MR-3:22  And the scribes which came down from Jerusalem said, He

hath

Beelzebub, and by the prince of the devils casteth he out devils.

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

parables, How

can Satan cast out Satan?

MR-3:24  And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that

kingdom cannot

stand.

MR-3:25  And if a house be divided against itself, that house

cannot stand.

MR-3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided,

he cannot

stand, but hath an end.

MR-3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil

his goods,

except he will first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil

his house.

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

the sons of

men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme:

MR-3:29  But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath

never

forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation:

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

MR-3:31  There came then his brethren and his mother, and,

standing without,

sent unto him, calling him.

MR-3:32  And the multitude sat about him, and they said unto him,

 Behold, thy

mother and thy brethren without seek for thee.

MR-3:33  And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother, or my

brethren?

MR-3:34  And he looked round about on them which sat about him,

and said,

Behold my mother and my brethren!

MR-3:35  For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my

brother, and

my sister, and mother.

MR-4:1  And he began again to teach by the sea side: and there

was gathered

unto him a great multitude, so that he entered into a ship, and

sat in the

sea; and the whole multitude was by the sea on the land.

MR-4:2  And he taught them many things by parables, and said

unto them in his

doctrine,

MR-4:3  Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow:

MR-4:4  And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way

side, and the

fowls of the air came and devoured it up.

MR-4:5  And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much

earth; and

immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth:

MR-4:6  But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it

had no root,

it withered away.

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

choked it, and

it yielded no fruit.

MR-4:8  And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that

sprang up and

increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and

some an

hundred.

MR-4:9  And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let

him hear.

MR-4:10  And when he was alone, they that were about him with

the twelve asked

of him the parable.

MR-4:11  And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the

mystery of

the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all [these]

things are

done in parables:

MR-4:12  That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing

they may

hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be

converted, and

[their] sins should be forgiven them.

MR-4:13  And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and

how then will ye

know all parables?

MR-4:14  The sower soweth the word.

MR-4:15  And these are they by the way side, where the word is

sown; but when

they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the

word that was

sown in their hearts.

MR-4:16  And these are they likewise which are sown on stony

ground; who, when

they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;

MR-4:17  And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a

time:

afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's

sake,

immediately they are offended.

MR-4:18  And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as

hear the

word,

MR-4:19  And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of

riches, and the

lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it

becometh unfruitful.

MR-4:20  And these are they which are sown on good ground; such

as hear the

word, and receive [it], and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold,

some sixty,

and some an hundred.

MR-4:21  And he said unto them, Is a candle brought to be put

under a bushel,

or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick?

MR-4:22  For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested;

 neither was

any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad.

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

MR-4:24  And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with

what measure ye

mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall

more be given.

MR-4:25  For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that

hath not, from

him shall be taken even that which he hath.

MR-4:26  And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man

should cast seed

into the ground;

MR-4:27  And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed

should spring

and grow up, he knoweth not how.

MR-4:28  For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first

the blade, then

the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.

MR-4:29  But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he

putteth in the

sickle, because the harvest is come.

MR-4:30  And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of

God? or with

what comparison shall we compare it?

MR-4:31  [It is] like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is

sown in the

earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth:

MR-4:32  But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh

greater than all

herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the

air may lodge

under the shadow of it.

MR-4:33  And with many such parables spake he the word unto them,

 as they were

able to hear [it].

MR-4:34  But without a parable spake he not unto them: and when

they were

alone, he expounded all things to his disciples.

MR-4:35  And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto

them, Let us

pass over unto the other side.

MR-4:36  And when they had sent away the multitude, they took

him even as he

was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships.

MR-4:37  And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves

beat into the

ship, so that it was now full.

MR-4:38  And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a

pillow: and

they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that

we perish?

MR-4:39  And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the

sea, Peace, be

still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.

MR-4:40  And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it

that ye have

no faith?

MR-4:41  And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another,

What manner of

man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?

MR-5:1  And they came over unto the other side of the sea, into

the country of

the Gadarenes.

MR-5:2  And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there

met him out of

the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,

MR-5:3  Who had [his] dwelling among the tombs; and no man could

bind him, no,

not with chains:

MR-5:4  Because that he had been often bound with fetters and

chains, and the

chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken

in pieces:

neither could any [man] tame him.

MR-5:5  And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and

in the tombs,

crying, and cutting himself with stones.

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

him,

MR-5:7  And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do

with thee,

Jesus, [thou] Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God,

that thou

torment me not.

MR-5:8  For he said unto him, Come out of the man, [thou]

unclean spirit.

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

saying, My name

[is] Legion: for we are many.

MR-5:10  And he besought him much that he would not send them

away out of the

country.

MR-5:11  Now there was there nigh unto the mountains a great

herd of swine

feeding.

MR-5:12  And all the devils besought him, saying, Send us into

the swine, that

we may enter into them.

MR-5:13  And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean

spirits went

out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down

a steep place

into the sea, (they were about two thousand;) and were choked in

the sea.

MR-5:14  And they that fed the swine fled, and told [it] in the

city, and in

the country. And they went out to see what it was that was done.

MR-5:15  And they come to Jesus, and see him that was possessed

with the

devil, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his

right mind: and

they were afraid.

MR-5:16  And they that saw [it] told them how it befell to him

that was

possessed with the devil, and [also] concerning the swine.

MR-5:17  And they began to pray him to depart out of their

coasts.

MR-5:18  And when he was come into the ship, he that had been

possessed with

the devil prayed him that he might be with him.

MR-5:19  Howbeit Jesus suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go

home to thy

friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for

thee, and hath

had compassion on thee.

MR-5:20  And he departed, and began to publish in Decapolis how

great things

Jesus had done for him: and all [men] did marvel.

MR-5:21  And when Jesus was passed over again by ship unto the

other side,

much people gathered unto him: and he was nigh unto the sea.

MR-5:22  And, behold, there cometh one of the rulers of the

synagogue, Jairus

by name; and when he saw him, he fell at his feet,

MR-5:23  And besought him greatly, saying, My little daughter

lieth at the

point of death: [I pray thee], come and lay thy hands on her,

that she may be

healed; and she shall live.

MR-5:24  And [Jesus] went with him; and much people followed him,

 and thronged

him.

MR-5:25  And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve

years,

MR-5:26  And had suffered many things of many physicians, and

had spent all

that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse,

MR-5:27  When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind,

and touched

his garment.

MR-5:28  For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall

be whole.

MR-5:29  And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up;

and she felt

in [her] body that she was healed of that plague.

MR-5:30  And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue

had gone out of

him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my

clothes?

MR-5:31  And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the

multitude thronging

thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?

MR-5:32  And he looked round about to see her that had done this

thing.

MR-5:33  But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was

done in her,

came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.

MR-5:34  And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made

thee whole; go in

peace, and be whole of thy plague.

MR-5:35  While he yet spake, there came from the ruler of the

synagogue's

[house certain] which said, Thy daughter is dead: why troublest

thou the

Master any further?

MR-5:36  As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he

saith unto the

ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe.

MR-5:37  And he suffered no man to follow him, save Peter, and

James, and John

the brother of James.

MR-5:38  And he cometh to the house of the ruler of the

synagogue, and seeth

the tumult, and them that wept and wailed greatly.

MR-5:39  And when he was come in, he saith unto them, Why make

ye this ado,

and weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth.

MR-5:40  And they laughed him to scorn. But when he had put them

all out, he

taketh the father and the mother of the damsel, and them that

were with him,

and entereth in where the damsel was lying.

MR-5:41  And he took the damsel by the hand, and said unto her,

Talitha cumi;

which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise.

MR-5:42  And straightway the damsel arose, and walked; for she

was [of the

age] of twelve years. And they were astonished with a great

astonishment.

MR-5:43  And he charged them straitly that no man should know it;

 and

commanded that something should be given her to eat.

MR-6:1  And he went out from thence, and came into his own

country; and his

disciples follow him.

MR-6:2  And when the sabbath day was come, he began to teach in

the synagogue:

and many hearing [him] were astonished, saying, From whence hath

this [man]

these things? and what wisdom [is] this which is given unto him,

that even

such mighty works are wrought by his hands?

MR-6:3  Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother

of James, and

Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with

us? And they

were offended at him.

MR-6:4  But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without

honour, but in his

own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house.

MR-6:5  And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid

his hands upon

a few sick folk, and healed [them].

MR-6:6  And he marvelled because of their unbelief. And he went

round about

the villages, teaching.

MR-6:7  And he called [unto him] the twelve, and began to send

them forth by

two and two; and gave them power over unclean spirits;

MR-6:8  And commanded them that they should take nothing for

[their] journey,

save a staff only; no scrip, no bread, no money in [their] purse:

MR-6:9  But [be] shod with sandals; and not put on two coats.

MR-6:10  And he said unto them, In what place soever ye enter

into an house,

there abide till ye depart from that place.

MR-6:11  And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when

ye depart

thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony

against them.

Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and

Gomorrha in

the day of judgment, than for that city.

MR-6:12  And they went out, and preached that men should repent.

MR-6:13  And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil

many that were

sick, and healed [them].

MR-6:14  And king Herod heard [of him]; (for his name was spread

abroad:) and

he said, That John the Baptist was risen from the dead, and

therefore mighty

works do shew forth themselves in him.

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

is a prophet,

or as one of the prophets.

MR-6:16  But when Herod heard [thereof], he said, It is John,

whom I beheaded:

he is risen from the dead.

MR-6:17  For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon

John, and bound

him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife: for

he had

married her.

MR-6:18  For John had said unto Herod, It is not lawful for thee

to have thy

brother's wife.

MR-6:19  Therefore Herodias had a quarrel against him, and would

have killed

him; but she could not:

MR-6:20  For Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just man

and an holy,

and observed him; and when he heard him, he did many things, and

heard him

gladly.

MR-6:21  And when a convenient day was come, that Herod on his

birthday made a

supper to his lords, high captains, and chief [estates] of

Galilee;

MR-6:22  And when the daughter of the said Herodias came in, and

danced, and

pleased Herod and them that sat with him, the king said unto the

damsel, Ask

of me whatsoever thou wilt, and I will give [it] thee.

MR-6:23  And he sware unto her, Whatsoever thou shalt ask of me,

I will give

[it] thee, unto the half of my kingdom.

MR-6:24  And she went forth, and said unto her mother, What

shall I ask? And

she said, The head of John the Baptist.

MR-6:25  And she came in straightway with haste unto the king,

and asked,

saying, I will that thou give me by and by in a charger the head

of John the

Baptist.

MR-6:26  And the king was exceeding sorry; [yet] for his oath's

sake, and for

their sakes which sat with him, he would not reject her.

MR-6:27  And immediately the king sent an executioner, and

commanded his head

to be brought: and he went and beheaded him in the prison,

MR-6:28  And brought his head in a charger, and gave it to the

damsel: and the

damsel gave it to her mother.

MR-6:29  And when his disciples heard [of it], they came and

took up his

corpse, and laid it in a tomb.

MR-6:30  And the apostles gathered themselves together unto

Jesus, and told

him all things, both what they had done, and what they had

taught.

MR-6:31  And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a

desert place,

and rest a while: for there were many coming and going, and they

had no

leisure so much as to eat.

MR-6:32  And they departed into a desert place by ship privately.

MR-6:33  And the people saw them departing, and many knew him,

and ran afoot

thither out of all cities, and outwent them, and came together

unto him.

MR-6:34  And Jesus, when he came out, saw much people, and was

moved with

compassion toward them, because they were as sheep not having a

shepherd: and

he began to teach them many things.

MR-6:35  And when the day was now far spent, his disciples came

unto him, and

said, This is a desert place, and now the time [is] far passed:

MR-6:36  Send them away, that they may go into the country round

about, and

into the villages, and buy themselves bread: for they have

nothing to eat.

MR-6:37  He answered and said unto them, Give ye them to eat.

And they say

unto him, Shall we go and buy two hundred pennyworth of bread,

and give them

to eat?

MR-6:38  He saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? go and see.

 And when

they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes.

MR-6:39  And he commanded them to make all sit down by companies

upon the

green grass.

MR-6:40  And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties.

MR-6:41  And when he had taken the five loaves and the two

fishes, he looked

up to heaven, and blessed, and brake the loaves, and gave [them]

to his

disciples to set before them; and the two fishes divided he

among them all.

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

MR-6:43  And they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments,

and of the

fishes.

MR-6:44  And they that did eat of the loaves were about five

thousand men.

MR-6:45  And straightway he constrained his disciples to get

into the ship,

and to go to the other side before unto Bethsaida, while he sent

away the

people.

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

mountain to pray.

MR-6:47  And when even was come, the ship was in the midst of

the sea, and he

alone on the land.

MR-6:48  And he saw them toiling in rowing; for the wind was

contrary unto

them: and about the fourth watch of the night he cometh unto

them, walking

upon the sea, and would have passed by them.

MR-6:49  But when they saw him walking upon the sea, they

supposed it had been

a spirit, and cried out:

MR-6:50  For they all saw him, and were troubled. And

immediately he talked

with them, and saith unto them, Be of good cheer: it is I; be

not afraid.

MR-6:51  And he went up unto them into the ship; and the wind

ceased: and they

were sore amazed in themselves beyond measure, and wondered.

MR-6:52  For they considered not [the miracle] of the loaves:

for their heart

was hardened.

MR-6:53  And when they had passed over, they came into the land

of Gennesaret,

and drew to the shore.

MR-6:54  And when they were come out of the ship, straightway

they knew him,

MR-6:55  And ran through that whole region round about, and

began to carry

about in beds those that were sick, where they heard he was.

MR-6:56  And whithersoever he entered, into villages, or cities,

or country,

they laid the sick in the streets, and besought him that they

might touch if

it were but the border of his garment: and as many as touched

him were made

whole.

MR-7:1  Then came together unto him the Pharisees, and certain

of the scribes,

which came from Jerusalem.

MR-7:2  And when they saw some of his disciples eat bread with

defiled, that

is to say, with unwashen, hands, they found fault.

MR-7:3  For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash

[their] hands

oft, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders.

MR-7:4  And [when they come] from the market, except they wash,

they eat not.

And many other things there be, which they have received to hold,

 [as] the

washing of cups, and pots, brasen vessels, and of tables.

MR-7:5  Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not

thy disciples

according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with

unwashen hands?

MR-7:6  He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias

prophesied of you

hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with

[their] lips, but

their heart is far from me.

MR-7:7  Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching [for]

doctrines the

commandments of men.

MR-7:8  For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the

tradition of men,

[as] the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like

things ye do.

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

commandment of God,

that ye may keep your own tradition.

MR-7:10  For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and,

Whoso curseth

father or mother, let him die the death:

MR-7:11  But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother,

[It is]

Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be

profited by me;

[he shall be free].

MR-7:12  And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or

his mother;

MR-7:13  Making the word of God of none effect through your

tradition, which

ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.

MR-7:14  And when he had called all the people [unto him], he

said unto them,

Hearken unto me every one [of you], and understand:

MR-7:15  There is nothing from without a man, that entering into

him can

defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they

that defile

the man.

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

MR-7:17  And when he was entered into the house from the people,

his disciples

asked him concerning the parable.

MR-7:18  And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding

also? Do ye

not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into

the man, [it]

cannot defile him;

MR-7:19  Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the

belly, and goeth

out into the draught, purging all meats?

MR-7:20  And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that

defileth the man.

MR-7:21  For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil

thoughts,

adulteries, fornications, murders,

MR-7:22  Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit,

lasciviousness, an evil

eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:

MR-7:23  All these evil things come from within, and defile the

man.

MR-7:24  And from thence he arose, and went into the borders of

Tyre and

Sidon, and entered into an house, and would have no man know

[it]: but he

could not be hid.

MR-7:25  For a [certain] woman, whose young daughter had an

unclean spirit,

heard of him, and came and fell at his feet:

MR-7:26  The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation; and

she besought

him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter.

MR-7:27  But Jesus said unto her, Let the children first be

filled: for it is

not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast [it] unto the

dogs.

MR-7:28  And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord: yet the

dogs under the

table eat of the children's crumbs.

MR-7:29  And he said unto her, For this saying go thy way; the

devil is gone

out of thy daughter.

MR-7:30  And when she was come to her house, she found the devil

gone out, and

her daughter laid upon the bed.

MR-7:31  And again, departing from the coasts of Tyre and Sidon,

he came unto

the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts of Decapolis.

MR-7:32  And they bring unto him one that was deaf, and had an

impediment in

his speech; and they beseech him to put his hand upon him.

MR-7:33  And he took him aside from the multitude, and put his

fingers into

his ears, and he spit, and touched his tongue;

MR-7:34  And looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith unto him,

 Ephphatha,

that is, Be opened.

MR-7:35  And straightway his ears were opened, and the string of

his tongue

was loosed, and he spake plain.

MR-7:36  And he charged them that they should tell no man: but

the more he

charged them, so much the more a great deal they published [it];

MR-7:37  And were beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath

done all things

well: he maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.

MR-8:1  In those days the multitude being very great, and having

nothing to

eat, Jesus called his disciples [unto him], and saith unto them,

MR-8:2  I have compassion on the multitude, because they have

now been with me

three days, and have nothing to eat:

MR-8:3  And if I send them away fasting to their own houses,

they will faint

by the way: for divers of them came from far.

MR-8:4  And his disciples answered him, From whence can a man

satisfy these

[men] with bread here in the wilderness?

MR-8:5  And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they

said, Seven.

MR-8:6  And he commanded the people to sit down on the ground:

and he took the

seven loaves, and gave thanks, and brake, and gave to his

disciples to set

before [them]; and they did set [them] before the people.

MR-8:7  And they had a few small fishes: and he blessed, and

commanded to set

them also before [them].

MR-8:8  So they did eat, and were filled: and they took up of

the broken

[meat] that was left seven baskets.

MR-8:9  And they that had eaten were about four thousand: and he

sent them

away.

MR-8:10  And straightway he entered into a ship with his

disciples, and came

into the parts of Dalmanutha.

MR-8:11  And the Pharisees came forth, and began to question

with him, seeking

of him a sign from heaven, tempting him.

MR-8:12  And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and saith, Why doth

this

generation seek after a sign? verily I say unto you, There shall

no sign be

given unto this generation.

MR-8:13  And he left them, and entering into the ship again

departed to the

other side.

MR-8:14  Now [the disciples] had forgotten to take bread,

neither had they in

the ship with them more than one loaf.

MR-8:15  And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the

leaven of the

Pharisees, and [of] the leaven of Herod.

MR-8:16  And they reasoned among themselves, saying, [It is]

because we have

no bread.

MR-8:17  And when Jesus knew [it], he saith unto them, Why

reason ye, because

ye have no bread? perceive ye not yet, neither understand? have

ye your heart

yet hardened?

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

and do ye not

remember?

MR-8:19  When I brake the five loaves among five thousand, how

many baskets

full of fragments took ye up? They say unto him, Twelve.

MR-8:20  And when the seven among four thousand, how many

baskets full of

fragments took ye up? And they said, Seven.

MR-8:21  And he said unto them, How is it that ye do not

understand?

MR-8:22  And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man

unto him, and

besought him to touch him.

MR-8:23  And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out

of the town;

and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he

asked him if

he saw ought.

MR-8:24  And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking.

MR-8:25  After that he put [his] hands again upon his eyes, and

made him look

up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly.

MR-8:26  And he sent him away to his house, saying, Neither go

into the town,

nor tell [it] to any in the town.

MR-8:27  And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into the towns

of Caesarea

Philippi: and by the way he asked his disciples, saying unto

them, Whom do men

say that I am?

MR-8:28  And they answered, John the Baptist: but some [say],

Elias; and

others, One of the prophets.

MR-8:29  And he saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And

Peter

answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ.

MR-8:30  And he charged them that they should tell no man of him.

MR-8:31  And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must

suffer many

things, and be rejected of the elders, and [of] the chief

priests, and

scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.

MR-8:32  And he spake that saying openly. And Peter took him,

and began to

rebuke him.

MR-8:33  But when he had turned about and looked on his

disciples, he rebuked

Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou savourest not

the things

that be of God, but the things that be of men.

MR-8:34  And when he had called the people [unto him] with his

disciples also,

he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny

himself, and

take up his cross, and follow me.

MR-8:35  For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but

whosoever shall

lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save

it.

MR-8:36  For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the

whole world, and

lose his own soul?

MR-8:37  Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

MR-8:38  Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my

words in this

adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of

man be ashamed,

when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.

MR-9:1  And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there

be some of

them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they

have seen the

kingdom of God come with power.

MR-9:2  And after six days Jesus taketh [with him] Peter, and

James, and John,

and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves:

and he was

transfigured before them.

MR-9:3  And his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow;

so as no

fuller on earth can white them.

MR-9:4  And there appeared unto them Elias with Moses: and they

were talking

with Jesus.

MR-9:5  And Peter answered and said to Jesus, Master, it is good

for us to be

here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one

for Moses, and

one for Elias.

MR-9:6  For he wist not what to say; for they were sore afraid.

MR-9:7  And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a

voice came out of

the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.

MR-9:8  And suddenly, when they had looked round about, they saw

no man any

more, save Jesus only with themselves.

MR-9:9  And as they came down from the mountain, he charged them

that they

should tell no man what things they had seen, till the Son of

man were risen

from the dead.

MR-9:10  And they kept that saying with themselves, questioning

one with

another what the rising from the dead should mean.

MR-9:11  And they asked him, saying, Why say the scribes that

Elias must first

come?

MR-9:12  And he answered and told them, Elias verily cometh

first, and

restoreth all things; and how it is written of the Son of man,

that he must

suffer many things, and be set at nought.

MR-9:13  But I say unto you, That Elias is indeed come, and they

have done

unto him whatsoever they listed, as it is written of him.

MR-9:14  And when he came to [his] disciples, he saw a great

multitude about

them, and the scribes questioning with them.

MR-9:15  And straightway all the people, when they beheld him,

were greatly

amazed, and running to [him] saluted him.

MR-9:16  And he asked the scribes, What question ye with them?

MR-9:17  And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I

have brought

unto thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit;

MR-9:18  And wheresoever he taketh him, he teareth him: and he

foameth, and

gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to thy

disciples that

they should cast him out; and they could not.

MR-9:19  He answereth him, and saith, O faithless generation,

how long shall I

be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me.

MR-9:20  And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him,

straightway the

spirit tare him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming.

MR-9:21  And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this

came unto him?

And he said, Of a child.

MR-9:22  And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into

the waters, to

destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on

us, and help

us.

MR-9:23  Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things

[are] possible

to him that believeth.

MR-9:24  And straightway the father of the child cried out, and

said with

tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.

MR-9:25  When Jesus saw that the people came running together,

he rebuked the

foul spirit, saying unto him, [Thou] dumb and deaf spirit, I

charge thee, come

out of him, and enter no more into him.

MR-9:26  And [the spirit] cried, and rent him sore, and came out

of him: and

he was as one dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead.

MR-9:27  But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and

he arose.

MR-9:28  And when he was come into the house, his disciples

asked him

privately, Why could not we cast him out?

MR-9:29  And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by

nothing, but by

prayer and fasting.

MR-9:30  And they departed thence, and passed through Galilee;

and he would

not that any man should know [it].

MR-9:31  For he taught his disciples, and said unto them, The

Son of man is

delivered into the hands of men, and they shall kill him; and

after that he is

killed, he shall rise the third day.

MR-9:32  But they understood not that saying, and were afraid to

ask him.

MR-9:33  And he came to Capernaum: and being in the house he

asked them, What

was it that ye disputed among yourselves by the way?

MR-9:34  But they held their peace: for by the way they had

disputed among

themselves, who [should be] the greatest.

MR-9:35  And he sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto

them, If any

man desire to be first, [the same] shall be last of all, and

servant of all.

MR-9:36  And he took a child, and set him in the midst of them:

and when he

had taken him in his arms, he said unto them,

MR-9:37  Whosoever shall receive one of such children in my name,

 receiveth

me: and whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him

that sent me.

MR-9:38  And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one

casting out devils

in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because

he followeth

not us.

MR-9:39  But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man

which shall do a

miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me.

MR-9:40  For he that is not against us is on our part.

MR-9:41  For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in

my name,

because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not

lose his

reward.

MR-9:42  And whosoever shall offend one of [these] little ones

that believe in

me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his

neck, and he

were cast into the sea.

MR-9:43  And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better

for thee to

enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell,

into the fire

that never shall be quenched:

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

quenched.

MR-9:45  And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better

for thee to

enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell,

into the fire

that never shall be quenched:

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

quenched.

MR-9:47  And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is

better for thee to

enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes

to be cast

into hell fire:

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

quenched.

MR-9:49  For every one shall be salted with fire, and every

sacrifice shall be

salted with salt.

MR-9:50  Salt [is] good: but if the salt have lost his saltness,

wherewith

will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one

with another.

MR-10:1  And he arose from thence, and cometh into the coasts of

Judaea by the

farther side of Jordan: and the people resort unto him again;

and, as he was

wont, he taught them again.

MR-10:2  And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him, Is it

lawful for a man

to put away [his] wife? tempting him.

MR-10:3  And he answered and said unto them, What did Moses

command you?

MR-10:4  And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of

divorcement, and to

put [her] away.

MR-10:5  And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness

of your heart

he wrote you this precept.

MR-10:6  But from the beginning of the creation God made them

male and female.

MR-10:7  For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother,

and cleave to

his wife;

MR-10:8  And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no

more twain,

but one flesh.

MR-10:9  What therefore God hath joined together, let not man

put asunder.

MR-10:10  And in the house his disciples asked him again of the

same [matter].

MR-10:11  And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his

wife, and marry

another, committeth adultery against her.

MR-10:12  And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be

married to

another, she committeth adultery.

MR-10:13  And they brought young children to him, that he should

touch them:

and [his] disciples rebuked those that brought [them].

MR-10:14  But when Jesus saw [it], he was much displeased, and

said unto them,

Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not:

for of such

is the kingdom of God.

MR-10:15  Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the

kingdom of

God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.

MR-10:16  And he took them up in his arms, put [his] hands upon

them, and

blessed them.

MR-10:17  And when he was gone forth into the way, there came

one running, and

kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that

I may inherit

eternal life?

MR-10:18  And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good?

[there is] none

good but one, [that is], God.

MR-10:19  Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery,

Do not kill,

Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy

father and

mother.

MR-10:20  And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these

have I observed

from my youth.

MR-10:21  Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him,

One thing

thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to

the poor, and

thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross,

and follow

me.

MR-10:22  And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved:

for he had

great possessions.

MR-10:23  And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his

disciples, How

hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!

MR-10:24  And the disciples were astonished at his words. But

Jesus answereth

again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them

that trust in

riches to enter into the kingdom of God!

MR-10:25  It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a

needle, than for

a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

MR-10:26  And they were astonished out of measure, saying among

themselves,

Who then can be saved?

MR-10:27  And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men [it is]

impossible, but

not with God: for with God all things are possible.

MR-10:28  Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all,

 and have

followed thee.

MR-10:29  And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you,

There is no man

that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or

mother, or wife,

or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's,

MR-10:30  But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time,

houses, and

brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with

persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.

MR-10:31  But many [that are] first shall be last; and the last

first.

MR-10:32  And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem; and

Jesus went

before them: and they were amazed; and as they followed, they

were afraid. And

he took again the twelve, and began to tell them what things

should happen

unto him,

MR-10:33  [Saying], Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son

of man shall be

delivered unto the chief priests, and unto the scribes; and they

shall condemn

him to death, and shall deliver him to the Gentiles:

MR-10:34  And they shall mock him, and shall scourge him, and

shall spit upon

him, and shall kill him: and the third day he shall rise again.

MR-10:35  And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, come unto him,

 saying,

Master, we would that thou shouldest do for us whatsoever we

shall desire.

MR-10:36  And he said unto them, What would ye that I should do

for you?

MR-10:37  They said unto him, Grant unto us that we may sit, one

on thy right

hand, and the other on thy left hand, in thy glory.

MR-10:38  But Jesus said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask: can

ye drink of

the cup that I drink of? and be baptized with the baptism that I

am baptized

with?

MR-10:39  And they said unto him, We can. And Jesus said unto

them, Ye shall

indeed drink of the cup that I drink of; and with the baptism

that I am

baptized withal shall ye be baptized:

MR-10:40  But to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not

mine to give;

but [it shall be given to them] for whom it is prepared.

MR-10:41  And when the ten heard [it], they began to be much

displeased with

James and John.

MR-10:42  But Jesus called them [to him], and saith unto them,

Ye know that

they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise

lordship over

them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them.

MR-10:43  But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will

be great among

you, shall be your minister:

MR-10:44  And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be

servant of all.

MR-10:45  For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto,

 but to

minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

MR-10:46  And they came to Jericho: and as he went out of

Jericho with his

disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimaeus, the

son of Timaeus,

sat by the highway side begging.

MR-10:47  And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he

began to cry

out, and say, Jesus, [thou] son of David, have mercy on me.

MR-10:48  And many charged him that he should hold his peace:

but he cried the

more a great deal, [Thou] son of David, have mercy on me.

MR-10:49  And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be called.

And they call

the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good comfort, rise; he

calleth thee.

MR-10:50  And he, casting away his garment, rose, and came to

Jesus.

MR-10:51  And Jesus answered and said unto him, What wilt thou

that I should

do unto thee? The blind man said unto him, Lord, that I might

receive my

sight.

MR-10:52  And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath

made thee whole.

And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the

way.

MR-11:1  And when they came nigh to Jerusalem, unto Bethphage

and Bethany, at

the mount of Olives, he sendeth forth two of his disciples,

MR-11:2  And saith unto them, Go your way into the village over

against you:

and as soon as ye be entered into it, ye shall find a colt tied,

whereon never

man sat; loose him, and bring [him].

MR-11:3  And if any man say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye

that the Lord

hath need of him; and straightway he will send him hither.

MR-11:4  And they went their way, and found the colt tied by the

door without

in a place where two ways met; and they loose him.

MR-11:5  And certain of them that stood there said unto them,

What do ye,

loosing the colt?

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

and they let

them go.

MR-11:7  And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their

garments on him;

and he sat upon him.

MR-11:8  And many spread their garments in the way: and others

cut down

branches off the trees, and strawed [them] in the way.

MR-11:9  And they that went before, and they that followed,

cried, saying,

Hosanna; Blessed [is] he that cometh in the name of the Lord:

MR-11:10  Blessed [be] the kingdom of our father David, that

cometh in the

name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.

MR-11:11  And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple:

and when he

had looked round about upon all things, and now the eventide was

come, he went

out unto Bethany with the twelve.

MR-11:12  And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany,

he was hungry:

MR-11:13  And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came,

if haply he

might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found

nothing but

leaves; for the time of figs was not [yet].

MR-11:14  And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit

of thee

hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard [it].

MR-11:15  And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the

temple, and

began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and

overthrew the

tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold

doves;

MR-11:16  And would not suffer that any man should carry [any]

vessel through

the temple.

MR-11:17  And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My

house shall

be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made

it a den of

thieves.

MR-11:18  And the scribes and chief priests heard [it], and

sought how they

might destroy him: for they feared him, because all the people

was astonished

at his doctrine.

MR-11:19  And when even was come, he went out of the city.

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

fig tree dried

up from the roots.

MR-11:21  And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him,

Master, behold, the

fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.

MR-11:22  And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.

MR-11:23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say

unto this

mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and

shall not doubt

in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith

shall come to

pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.

MR-11:24  Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire,

 when ye

pray, believe that ye receive [them], and ye shall have [them].

MR-11:25  And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought

against any:

that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your

trespasses.

MR-11:26  But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father

which is in

heaven forgive your trespasses.

MR-11:27  And they come again to Jerusalem: and as he was

walking in the

temple, there come to him the chief priests, and the scribes,

and the elders,

MR-11:28  And say unto him, By what authority doest thou these

things? and who

gave thee this authority to do these things?

MR-11:29  And Jesus answered and said unto them, I will also ask

of you one

question, and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I

do these

things.

MR-11:30  The baptism of John, was [it] from heaven, or of men?

answer me.

MR-11:31  And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall

say, From

heaven; he will say, Why then did ye not believe him?

MR-11:32  But if we shall say, Of men; they feared the people:

for all [men]

counted John, that he was a prophet indeed.

MR-11:33  And they answered and said unto Jesus, We cannot tell.

And Jesus

answering saith unto them, Neither do I tell you by what

authority I do these

things.

MR-12:1  And he began to speak unto them by parables. A

[certain] man planted

a vineyard, and set an hedge about [it], and digged [a place

for] the winefat,

and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a

far country.

MR-12:2  And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant,

that he might

receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard.

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

away empty.

MR-12:4  And again he sent unto them another servant; and at him

they cast

stones, and wounded [him] in the head, and sent [him] away

shamefully handled.

MR-12:5  And again he sent another; and him they killed, and

many others;

beating some, and killing some.

MR-12:6  Having yet therefore one son, his wellbeloved, he sent

him also last

unto them, saying, They will reverence my son.

MR-12:7  But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the

heir; come,

let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be ours.

MR-12:8  And they took him, and killed [him], and cast [him] out

of the

vineyard.

MR-12:9  What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do? he

will come and

destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others.

MR-12:10  And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which

the builders

rejected is become the head of the corner:

MR-12:11  This was the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our

eyes?

MR-12:12  And they sought to lay hold on him, but feared the

people: for they

knew that he had spoken the parable against them: and they left

him, and went

their way.

MR-12:13  And they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of

the

Herodians, to catch him in [his] words.

MR-12:14  And when they were come, they say unto him, Master, we

know that

thou art true, and carest for no man: for thou regardest not the

person of

men, but teachest the way of God in truth: Is it lawful to give

tribute to

Caesar, or not?

MR-12:15  Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing

their

hypocrisy, said unto them, Why tempt ye me? bring me a penny,

that I may see

[it].

MR-12:16  And they brought [it]. And he saith unto them, Whose

[is] this image

and superscription? And they said unto him, Caesar's.

MR-12:17  And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Caesar

the things that

are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's. And they

marvelled at him.

MR-12:18  Then come unto him the Sadducees, which say there is no

resurrection; and they asked him, saying,

MR-12:19  Master, Moses wrote unto us, If a man's brother die,

and leave [his]

wife [behind him], and leave no children, that his brother

should take his

wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.

MR-12:20  Now there were seven brethren: and the first took a

wife, and dying

left no seed.

MR-12:21  And the second took her, and died, neither left he any

seed: and the

third likewise.

MR-12:22  And the seven had her, and left no seed: last of all

the woman died

also.

MR-12:23  In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise,

whose wife

shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife.

MR-12:24  And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not

therefore err, because

ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?

MR-12:25  For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither

marry, nor are

given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven.

MR-12:26  And as touching the dead, that they rise: have ye not

read in the

book of Moses, how in the bush God spake unto him, saying, I

[am] the God of

Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?

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

living: ye

therefore do greatly err.

MR-12:28  And one of the scribes came, and having heard them

reasoning

together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked

him, Which is

the first commandment of all?

MR-12:29  And Jesus answered him, The first of all the

commandments [is],

Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:

MR-12:30  And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy

heart, and with

all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength:

this [is] the

first commandment.

MR-12:31  And the second [is] like, [namely] this, Thou shalt

love thy

neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater

than these.

MR-12:32  And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast

said the

truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he:

MR-12:33  And to love him with all the heart, and with all the

understanding,

and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love

[his] neighbour

as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and

sacrifices.

MR-12:34  And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he

said unto him,

Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that

durst ask him

[any question].

MR-12:35  And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the

temple, How say

the scribes that Christ is the son of David?

MR-12:36  For David himself said by the Holy Ghost, The LORD

said to my Lord,

Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy

footstool.

MR-12:37  David therefore himself calleth him Lord; and whence

is he [then]

his son? And the common people heard him gladly.

MR-12:38  And he said unto them in his doctrine, Beware of the

scribes, which

love to go in long clothing, and [love] salutations in the

marketplaces,

MR-12:39  And the chief seats in the synagogues, and the

uppermost rooms at

feasts:

MR-12:40  Which devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make

long prayers:

these shall receive greater damnation.

MR-12:41  And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld

how the people

cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in

much.

MR-12:42  And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in

two mites,

which make a farthing.

MR-12:43  And he called [unto him] his disciples, and saith unto

them, Verily

I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all

they which

have cast into the treasury:

MR-12:44  For all [they] did cast in of their abundance; but she

of her want

did cast in all that she had, [even] all her living.

MR-13:1  And as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples

saith unto

him, Master, see what manner of stones and what buildings [are

here]!

MR-13:2  And Jesus answering said unto him, Seest thou these

great buildings?

there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not

be thrown down.

MR-13:3  And as he sat upon the mount of Olives over against the

temple, Peter

and James and John and Andrew asked him privately,

MR-13:4  Tell us, when shall these things be? and what [shall

be] the sign

when all these things shall be fulfilled?

MR-13:5  And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest

any [man]

deceive you:

MR-13:6  For many shall come in my name, saying, I am [Christ];

and shall

deceive many.

MR-13:7  And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be

ye not

troubled: for [such things] must needs be; but the end [shall]

not [be] yet.

MR-13:8  For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom

against kingdom:

and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall

be famines

and troubles: these [are] the beginnings of sorrows.

MR-13:9  But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you

up to

councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall

be brought

before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against

them.

MR-13:10  And the gospel must first be published among all

nations.

MR-13:11  But when they shall lead [you], and deliver you up,

take no thought

beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but

whatsoever

shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye

that speak,

but the Holy Ghost.

MR-13:12  Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and

the father

the son; and children shall rise up against [their] parents, and

shall cause

them to be put to death.

MR-13:13  And ye shall be hated of all [men] for my name's sake:

but he that

shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

MR-13:14  But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation,

spoken of by

Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that

readeth

understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the

mountains:

MR-13:15  And let him that is on the housetop not go down into

the house,

neither enter [therein], to take any thing out of his house:

MR-13:16  And let him that is in the field not turn back again

for to take up

his garment.

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

give suck in

those days!

MR-13:18  And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter.

MR-13:19  For [in] those days shall be affliction, such as was

not from the

beginning of the creation which God created unto this time,

neither shall be.

MR-13:20  And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no

flesh should

be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath

shortened the

days.

MR-13:21  And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here [is]

Christ; or, lo,

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

MR-13:22  For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and

shall shew

signs and wonders, to seduce, if [it were] possible, even the

elect.

MR-13:23  But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all

things.

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

shall be

darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,

MR-13:25  And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers

that are in

heaven shall be shaken.

MR-13:26  And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the

clouds with

great power and glory.

MR-13:27  And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather

together his

elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth

to the

uttermost part of heaven.

MR-13:28  Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch

is yet tender,

and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near:

MR-13:29  So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things

come to pass,

know that it is nigh, [even] at the doors.

MR-13:30  Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not

pass, till all

these things be done.

MR-13:31  Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall

not pass away.

MR-13:32  But of that day and [that] hour knoweth no man, no,

not the angels

which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.

MR-13:33  Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the

time is.

MR-13:34  [For the Son of man is] as a man taking a far journey,

who left his

house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his

work, and

commanded the porter to watch.

MR-13:35  Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of

the house

cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in

the morning:

MR-13:36  Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.

MR-13:37  And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.

MR-14:1  After two days was [the feast of] the passover, and of

unleavened

bread: and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they

might take him by

craft, and put [him] to death.

MR-14:2  But they said, Not on the feast [day], lest there be an

uproar of the

people.

MR-14:3  And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper,

as he sat at

meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of

spikenard very

precious; and she brake the box, and poured [it] on his head.

MR-14:4  And there were some that had indignation within

themselves, and said,

Why was this waste of the ointment made?

MR-14:5  For it might have been sold for more than three hundred

pence, and

have been given to the poor. And they murmured against her.

MR-14:6  And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she

hath wrought a

good work on me.

MR-14:7  For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye

will ye may

do them good: but me ye have not always.

MR-14:8  She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand to

anoint my body

to the burying.

MR-14:9  Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be

preached

throughout the whole world, [this] also that she hath done shall

be spoken of

for a memorial of her.

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

chief priests,

to betray him unto them.

MR-14:11  And when they heard [it], they were glad, and promised

to give him

money. And he sought how he might conveniently betray him.

MR-14:12  And the first day of unleavened bread, when they

killed the

passover, his disciples said unto him, Where wilt thou that we

go and prepare

that thou mayest eat the passover?

MR-14:13  And he sendeth forth two of his disciples, and saith

unto them, Go

ye into the city, and there shall meet you a man bearing a

pitcher of water:

follow him.

MR-14:14  And wheresoever he shall go in, say ye to the goodman

of the house,

The Master saith, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat

the passover

with my disciples?

MR-14:15  And he will shew you a large upper room furnished

[and] prepared:

there make ready for us.

MR-14:16  And his disciples went forth, and came into the city,

and found as

he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover.

MR-14:17  And in the evening he cometh with the twelve.

MR-14:18  And as they sat and did eat, Jesus said, Verily I say

unto you, One

of you which eateth with me shall betray me.

MR-14:19  And they began to be sorrowful, and to say unto him

one by one, [Is]

it I? and another [said, Is] it I?

MR-14:20  And he answered and said unto them, [It is] one of the

twelve, that

dippeth with me in the dish.

MR-14:21  The Son of man indeed goeth, as it is written of him:

but woe to

that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! good were it for

that man if he

had never been born.

MR-14:22  And as they did eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed,

and brake [it],

and gave to them, and said, Take, eat: this is my body.

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

gave [it] to

them: and they all drank of it.

MR-14:24  And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new

testament, which

is shed for many.

MR-14:25  Verily I say unto you, I will drink no more of the

fruit of the

vine, until that day that I drink it new in the kingdom of God.

MR-14:26  And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the

mount of

Olives.

MR-14:27  And Jesus saith unto them, All ye shall be offended

because of me

this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and

the sheep shall

be scattered.

MR-14:28  But after that I am risen, I will go before you into

Galilee.

MR-14:29  But Peter said unto him, Although all shall be

offended, yet [will]

not I.

MR-14:30  And Jesus saith unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That

this day,

[even] in this night, before the cock crow twice, thou shalt

deny me thrice.

MR-14:31  But he spake the more vehemently, If I should die with

thee, I will

not deny thee in any wise. Likewise also said they all.

MR-14:32  And they came to a place which was named Gethsemane:

and he saith to

his disciples, Sit ye here, while I shall pray.

MR-14:33  And he taketh with him Peter and James and John, and

began to be

sore amazed, and to be very heavy;

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

unto death:

tarry ye here, and watch.

MR-14:35  And he went forward a little, and fell on the ground,

and prayed

that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him.

MR-14:36  And he said, Abba, Father, all things [are] possible

unto thee; take

away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what

thou wilt.

MR-14:37  And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith

unto Peter,

Simon, sleepest thou? couldest not thou watch one hour?

MR-14:38  Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The

spirit truly

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

MR-14:39  And again he went away, and prayed, and spake the same

words.

MR-14:40  And when he returned, he found them asleep again, (for

their eyes

were heavy,) neither wist they what to answer him.

MR-14:41  And he cometh the third time, and saith unto them,

Sleep on now, and

take [your] rest: it is enough, the hour is come; behold, the

Son of man is

betrayed into the hands of sinners.

MR-14:42  Rise up, let us go; lo, he that betrayeth me is at

hand.

MR-14:43  And immediately, while he yet spake, cometh Judas, one

of the

twelve, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves,

from the chief

priests and the scribes and the elders.

MR-14:44  And he that betrayed him had given them a token,

saying, Whomsoever

I shall kiss, that same is he; take him, and lead [him] away

safely.

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

him, and saith,

Master, master; and kissed him.

MR-14:46  And they laid their hands on him, and took him.

MR-14:47  And one of them that stood by drew a sword, and smote

a servant of

the high priest, and cut off his ear.

MR-14:48  And Jesus answered and said unto them, Are ye come out,

 as against a

thief, with swords and [with] staves to take me?

MR-14:49  I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and ye

took me not: but

the scriptures must be fulfilled.

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

MR-14:51  And there followed him a certain young man, having a

linen cloth

cast about [his] naked [body]; and the young men laid hold on

him:

MR-14:52  And he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked.

MR-14:53  And they led Jesus away to the high priest: and with

him were

assembled all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes.

MR-14:54  And Peter followed him afar off, even into the palace

of the high

priest: and he sat with the servants, and warmed himself at the

fire.

Jesus to put him to death; and found none.

against him, saying,

MR-14:58  We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is

made with

hands, and within three days I will build another made without

hands.

MR-14:59  But neither so did their witness agree together.

MR-14:60  And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked

Jesus, saying,

Answerest thou nothing? what [is it which] these witness against

thee?

MR-14:61  But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the

high priest

asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of

the Blessed?

MR-14:62  And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man

sitting on the

right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.

MR-14:63  Then the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What

need we any

further witnesses?

MR-14:64  Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye? And they

all condemned

him to be guilty of death.

MR-14:65  And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face,
