Mark
Mark.1
[2] As it is
written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which
shall prepare thy way before thee.
[3] The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the
Lord, make his paths straight.
[4] John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of
repentance for the remission of sins.
[5] And there went out unto him all the land of Judaea, and they of
Jerusalem, and were all baptized of him in the river of Jordan, confessing
their sins.
[6] And John was clothed with camel's hair, and with a girdle of a skin
about his loins; and he did eat locusts and wild honey;
[16] Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his
brother casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.
[17] And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to
become fishers of men.
[18] And straightway they forsook their nets, and followed him.
[19] And when he had gone a little further thence, he saw James the son
of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the ship mending their nets.
[20] And straightway he called them: and they left their father Zebedee
in the ship with the hired servants, and went after him.
[21] And they went into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath day he
entered into the synagogue, and taught.
[22] And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as one
that had authority, and not as the scribes.
Mark.2
[1] And again he
entered into Capernaum, after some days; and it was noised that he was in the
house.
[2] And straightway many were gathered together, insomuch that there was
no room to receive them, no, not so much as about the door: and he preached the
word unto them.
[15] And it came to pass, that, as Jesus sat at meat in his house, many
publicans and sinners sat also together with Jesus and his disciples: for there
were many, and they followed him.
[16] And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with publicans and
sinners, they said unto his disciples, How is it that he eateth and drinketh
with publicans and sinners?
[17] When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have
no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the
righteous, but sinners to repentance.
[23] And it came to pass, that he went through the corn fields on the
sabbath day; and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears of corn.
[24] And the Pharisees said unto him, Behold, why do they on the sabbath
day that which is not lawful?
[25] And he said unto them, Have ye never read what David did, when he
had need, and was an hungred, he, and they that were with him?
Mark.3
[1] And he
entered again into the synagogue; and there was a man there which had a
withered hand.
[6] And the Pharisees went forth, and straightway took counsel with the
Herodians against him, how they might destroy him.
[7] But Jesus withdrew himself with his disciples to the sea: and a
great multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judaea,
[8] And from Jerusalem, and from Idumaea, and from beyond Jordan; and
they about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, when they had heard what great
things he did, came unto him.
[22] And the scribes which came down from Jerusalem said, He hath
Beelzebub, and by the prince of the devils casteth he out devils.
[23] And he called them unto him, and said unto them in parables, How
can Satan cast out Satan?
[24] And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot
stand.
[25] And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand.
[26] And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot
stand, but hath an end.
[31] There came then his brethren and his mother, and, standing without,
sent unto him, calling him.
[32] And the multitude sat about him, and they said unto him, Behold,
thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee.
[33] And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother, or my brethren?
[34] And he looked round about on them which sat about him, and said,
Behold my mother and my brethren!
[35] For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and
my sister, and mother.
Mark.4
[1] And he began
again to teach by the sea side: and there was gathered unto him a great
multitude, so that he entered into a ship, and sat in the sea; and the whole
multitude was by the sea on the land.
[2] And he taught them many things by parables, and said unto them in
his doctrine,
[3] Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow:
[4] And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the
fowls of the air came and devoured it up.
[5] And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and
immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth:
[6] But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no
root, it withered away.
[7] And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it,
and it yielded no fruit.
[8] And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up
and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an
hundred.
[9] And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
[10] And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve
asked of him the parable.
[11] And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of
the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done
in parables:
[12] That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may
hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their
sins should be forgiven them.
[13] And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will
ye know all parables?
[14] The sower soweth the word.
[15] And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but
when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that
was sown in their hearts.
[16] And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who,
when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;
[17] And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time:
afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake,
immediately they are offended.
[18] And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the
word,
[19] And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and
the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh
unfruitful.
[20] And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the
word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and
some an hundred.
[21] And he said unto them, Is a candle brought to be put under a
bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick?
[22] For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither
was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad.
[23] If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
Mark.6
[1] And he went
out from thence, and came into his own country; and his disciples follow him.
[2] And when the sabbath day was come, he began to teach in the
synagogue: and many hearing him were astonished, saying, From whence hath this
man these things? and what wisdom is this which is given unto him, that even
such mighty works are wrought by his hands?
[3] Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James,
and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And
they were offended at him.
[4] But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but in
his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house.
[5] And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands
upon a few sick folk, and healed them.
[6] And he marvelled because of their unbelief. And he went round about
the villages, teaching.
[7] And he called unto him the twelve, and began to send them forth by
two and two; and gave them power over unclean spirits;
[8] And commanded them that they should take nothing for their journey,
save a staff only; no scrip, no bread, no money in their purse:
[9] But be shod with sandals; and not put on two coats.
[10] And he said unto them, In what place soever ye enter into an house,
there abide till ye depart from that place.
[11] And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart
thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily
I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of
judgment, than for that city.
[12] And they went out, and preached that men should repent.
[13] And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that were
sick, and healed them.
[20] For Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just man and an holy,
and observed him; and when he heard him, he did many things, and heard him
gladly.
[21] And when a convenient day was come, that Herod on his birthday made
a supper to his lords, high captains, and chief estates of Galilee;
[22] And when the daughter of the said Herodias came in, and danced, and
pleased Herod and them that sat with him, the king said unto the damsel, Ask of
me whatsoever thou wilt, and I will give it thee.
[23] And he sware unto her, Whatsoever thou shalt ask of me, I will give
it thee, unto the half of my kingdom.
[24] And she went forth, and said unto her mother, What shall I ask? And
she said, The head of John the Baptist.
[25] And she came in straightway with haste unto the king, and asked,
saying, I will that thou give me by and by in a charger the head of John the
Baptist.
[26] And the king was exceeding sorry; yet for his oath's sake, and for
their sakes which sat with him, he would not reject her.
[27] And immediately the king sent an executioner, and commanded his
head to be brought: and he went and beheaded him in the prison,
[28] And brought his head in a charger, and gave it to the damsel: and
the damsel gave it to her mother.
[29] And when his disciples heard of it, they came and took up his
corpse, and laid it in a tomb.
[30] And the apostles gathered themselves together unto Jesus, and told
him all things, both what they had done, and what they had taught.
[31] And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert
place, and rest a while: for there were many coming and going, and they had no
leisure so much as to eat.
[32] And they departed into a desert place by ship privately.
[33] And the people saw them departing, and many knew him, and ran afoot
thither out of all cities, and outwent them, and came together unto him.
[34] And Jesus, when he came out, saw much people, and was moved with
compassion toward them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd: and
he began to teach them many things.
Mark.7
[21] For from
within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries,
fornications, murders,
[22] Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil
eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:
[23] All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.
Mark.8
[36] For what
shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
[37] Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
Mark.10
[13] And they
brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples
rebuked those that brought them.
[14] But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them,
Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is
the kingdom of God.
[16] And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed
them.
[17] And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running,
and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may
inherit eternal life?
[19] Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill,
Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and
mother.
[20] And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I
observed from my youth.
[21] Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing
thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and
thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.
[22] And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had
great possessions.
[23] And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How
hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
[24] And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth
again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in
riches to enter into the kingdom of God!
[25] It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than
for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
[26] And they were astonished out of measure, saying among themselves,
Who then can be saved?
[27] And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but
not with God: for with God all things are possible.
Mark.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;
[16] And would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through
the temple.
[17] And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall
be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of
thieves.
[18] And the scribes and chief priests heard it, and sought how they
might destroy him: for they feared him, because all the people was astonished
at his doctrine.
[19] And when even was come, he went out of the city.
Mark.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?
[30] Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all
thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first
commandment.
[31] And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour
as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.
[38] And he said unto them in his doctrine, Beware of the scribes, which
love to go in long clothing, and love salutations in the marketplaces,
[39] And the chief seats in the synagogues, and the uppermost rooms at
feasts:
[40] Which devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayers:
these shall receive greater damnation.
Mark.14
[1] After two
days was the feast of the passover, and of unleavened bread: and the chief
priests and the scribes sought how they might take him by craft, and put him to
death.
[2] But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar of the
people.
[3] And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at
meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of spikenard very
precious; and she brake the box, and poured it on his head.
[4] And there were some that had indignation within themselves, and
said, Why was this waste of the ointment made?
[5] For it might have been sold for more than three hundred pence, and
have been given to the poor. And they murmured against her.
[6] And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought
a good work on me.
[7] For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may
do them good: but me ye have not always.
[42] Rise up, let us go; lo, he that betrayeth me is at hand.
[43] And immediately, while he yet spake, cometh Judas, one of the
twelve, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief
priests and the scribes and the elders.
[44] And he that betrayed him had given them a token, saying, Whomsoever
I shall kiss, that same is he; take him, and lead him away safely.
[45] And as soon as he was come, he goeth straightway to him, and saith,
Master, master; and kissed him.
[46] And they laid their hands on him, and took him.
[53] And they led Jesus away to the high priest: and with him were
assembled all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes.
[54] And Peter followed him afar off, even into the palace of the high
priest: and he sat with the servants, and warmed himself at the fire.
[55] And the chief priests and all the council sought for witness
against Jesus to put him to death; and found none.
[56] For many bare false witness against him, but their witness agreed
not together.
[57] And there arose certain, and bare false witness against him,
saying,
[58] We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with
hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands.
[59] But neither so did their witness agree together.
[60] And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying,
Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?
[63] Then the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What need we any
further witnesses?
[64] Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye? And they all condemned
him to be guilty of death.
[65] And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to buffet
him, and to say unto him, Prophesy: and the servants did strike him with the
palms of their hands.
[66] And as Peter was beneath in the palace, there cometh one of the
maids of the high priest:
[67] And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked upon him, and
said, And thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth.
[68] But he denied, saying, I know not, neither understand I what thou
sayest. And he went out into the porch; and the cock crew.
[69] And a maid saw him again, and began to say to them that stood by,
This is one of them.
[70] And he denied it again. And a little after, they that stood by said
again to Peter, Surely thou art one of them: for thou art a Galilaean, and thy
speech agreeth thereto.
[71] But he began to curse and to swear, saying, I know not this man of
whom ye speak.
[72] And the second time the cock crew. And Peter called to mind the
word that Jesus said unto him, Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me
thrice. And when he thought thereon, he wept.
Mark.15
[1] And
straightway in the morning the chief priests held a consultation with the
elders and scribes and the whole council, and bound Jesus, and carried him
away, and delivered him to Pilate.
[2] And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he
answering said unto him, Thou sayest it.
[3] And the chief priests accused him of many things: but he answered
nothing.
[4] And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold
how many things they witness against thee.
[5] But Jesus yet answered nothing; so that Pilate marvelled.
[6] Now at that feast he released unto them one prisoner, whomsoever
they desired.
[7] And there was one named Barabbas, which lay bound with them that had
made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection.
[8] And the multitude crying aloud began to desire him to do as he had
ever done unto them.
[9] But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you
the King of the Jews?
[10] For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy.
[11] But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather
release Barabbas unto them.
[12] And Pilate answered and said again unto them, What will ye then
that I shall do unto him whom ye call the King of the Jews?
[13] And they cried out again, Crucify him.
[14] Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? And they
cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him.
[15] And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas
unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.
[16] And the soldiers led him away into the hall, called Praetorium; and
they call together the whole band.
[17] And they clothed him with purple, and platted a crown of thorns,
and put it about his head,
[18] And began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews!
[19] And they smote him on the head with a reed, and did spit upon him,
and bowing their knees worshipped him.
[20] And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple from him,
and put his own clothes on him, and led him out to crucify him.
[21] And they compel one Simon a Cyrenian, who passed by, coming out of
the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to bear his cross.
[22] And they bring him unto the place Golgotha, which is, being
interpreted, The place of a skull.
[23] And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh: but he received
it not.
[24] And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, casting
lots upon them, what every man should take.
[25] And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.
[26] And the superscription of his accusation was written over, THE KING
OF THE JEWS.
[27] And with him they crucify two thieves; the one on his right hand,
and the other on his left.
[35] And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold,
he calleth Elias.
[36] And one ran and filled a spunge full of vinegar, and put it on a
reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone; let us see whether Elias will
come to take him down.
[37] And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost.
[40] There were also women looking on afar off: among whom was Mary
Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome;
[41] (Who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and ministered
unto him;) and many other women which came up with him unto Jerusalem.
[42] And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation,
that is, the day before the sabbath,
[43] Joseph of Arimathaea, and honourable counseller, which also waited
for the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly unto Pilate, and craved the
body of Jesus.
[44] And Pilate marvelled if he were already dead: and calling unto him
the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while dead.
[45] And when he knew it of the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph.
[46] And he bought fine linen, and took him down, and wrapped him in the
linen, and laid him in a sepulchre which was hewn out of a rock, and rolled a
stone unto the door of the sepulchre.
[47] And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses beheld where he was
laid.
Mark.16
[1] And when the
sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had
bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him.
[2] And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came
unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun.
[3] And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone
from the door of the sepulchre?
[4] And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for
it was very great.
[5] And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the
right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted.
[6] And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of
Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place
where they laid him.
[7] But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before
you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said unto you.
[8] And they went out quickly, and fled from the sepulchre; for they
trembled and were amazed: neither said they any thing to any man; for they were
afraid.
[9] Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he
appeared first to Mary Magdalene.
[10] And she went and told them that had been with him, as they mourned
and wept.
[11] And they, when they had heard that he was alive, and had been seen
of her, believed not.
[14] Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided
them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them
which had seen him after he was risen.
[15] And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the
gospel to every creature.
