Mark |
1:1: The beginning of the gospel of Jesus
Christ, the Son of God; |
1:2: As it is written in the prophets,
Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way
before thee. |
1:3: The voice of one crying in the
wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. |
1:4: John did baptize in the wilderness, and
preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins. |
1:5: And there went out unto him all the land
of |
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; |
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. |
1:8: I indeed have baptized you with water:
but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost. |
1:9: And it came to pass in those days, that
Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in |
|
|
|
|
|
|
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. |
1:17: And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after
me, and I will make you to become fishers of men. |
1:18: And straightway they forsook their
nets, and followed him. |
1:19: 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. |
1:20: And straightway he called them: and
they left their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants, and went
after him. |
1:21: And they went into Capernaum; and
straightway on the sabbath day he entered into the synagogue, and taught. |
1:22: And they were astonished at his
doctrine: for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the
scribes. |
1:23: And there was in their synagogue a man
with an unclean spirit; and he cried out, |
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. |
1:25: And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy
peace, and come out of him. |
1:26: And when the unclean spirit had torn
him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him. |
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. |
1:28: And immediately his fame spread abroad
throughout all the region round about Galilee. |
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. |
1:30: But Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a
fever, and anon they tell him of her. |
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. |
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. |
1:33: And all the city was gathered together
at the door. |
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. |
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. |
1:36: And Simon and they that were with him
followed after him. |
1:37: And when they had found him, they said
unto him, All men seek for thee. |
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. |
1:39: And he preached in their synagogues
throughout all Galilee, and cast out devils. |
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. |
1:41: And Jesus, moved with compassion, put
forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean. |
1:42: And as soon as he had spoken,
immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed. |
1:43: And he straitly charged him, and
forthwith sent him away; |
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. |
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. |
2:1: And again he entered into Capernaum
after some days; and it was noised that he was in the house. |
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. |
2:3: And they come unto him, bringing one
sick of the palsy, which was borne of four. |
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. |
2:5: When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto
the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee. |
2:6: But there were certain of the scribes
sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts, |
2:7: Why doth this man thus speak
blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only? |
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? |
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? |
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,) |
2:11: I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy
bed, and go thy way into thine house. |
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. |
2:13: And he went forth again by the sea
side; and all the multitude resorted unto him, and he taught them. |
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. |
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. |
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? |
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. |
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? |
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. |
2:20: But the days will come, when the
bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those
days. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
2:24: And the Pharisees said unto him,
Behold, why do they on the sabbath day that which is not lawful? |
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? |
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? |
2:27: And he said unto them, The sabbath was
made for man, and not man for the sabbath: |
2:28: Therefore the Son of man is Lord also
of the sabbath. |
3:1: And he entered again into the synagogue;
and there was a man there which had a withered hand. |
3:2: And they watched him, whether he would
heal him on the sabbath day; that they might accuse him. |
3:3: And he saith unto the man which had the
withered hand, Stand forth. |
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. |
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. |
3:6: And the Pharisees went forth, and
straightway took counsel with the Herodians against him, how they might
destroy him. |
3:7: But Jesus withdrew himself with his
disciples to the sea: and a great multitude from Galilee followed him, and
from Judaea, |
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. |
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. |
3:10: For he had healed many; insomuch that
they pressed upon him for to touch him, as many as had plagues. |
3:11: And unclean spirits, when they saw him,
fell down before him, and cried, saying, Thou art the Son of God. |
3:12: And he straitly charged them that they
should not make him known. |
3:13: And he goeth up into a mountain, and
calleth unto him whom he would: and they came unto him. |
3:14: And he ordained twelve, that they
should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach, |
3:15: And to have power to heal sicknesses,
and to cast out devils: |
3:16: And Simon he surnamed Peter; |
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: |
3:18: And Andrew, and Philip, and
Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and
Thaddaeus, and Simon the Canaanite, |
3:19: And Judas Iscariot, which also betrayed
him: and they went into an house. |
3:20: And the multitude cometh together
again, so that they could not so much as eat bread. |
3:21: And when his friends heard of it, they
went out to lay hold on him: for they said, He is beside himself. |
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. |
3:23: And he called them unto him, and said
unto them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan? |
3:24: And if a kingdom be divided against
itself, that kingdom cannot stand. |
3:25: And if a house be divided against
itself, that house cannot stand. |
3:26: And if Satan rise up against himself,
and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. |
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. |
3:28: Verily I say unto you, All sins shall
be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall
blaspheme: |
3:29: But he that shall blaspheme against the
Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation: |
3:30: Because they said, He hath an unclean
spirit. |
3:31: There came then his brethren and his
mother, and, standing without, sent unto him, calling him. |
3:32: And the multitude sat about him, and
they said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without seek for
thee. |
3:33: And he answered them, saying, Who is my
mother, or my brethren? |
3:34: And he looked round about on them which
sat about him, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren! |
3:35: For whosoever shall do the will of God,
the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother. |
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. |
4:2: And he taught them many things by
parables, and said unto them in his doctrine, |
4:3: Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower
to sow: |
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. |
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: |
4:6: But when the sun was up, it was
scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away. |
4:7: And some fell among thorns, and the
thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit. |
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. |
4:9: And he said unto them, He that hath ears
to hear, let him hear. |
4:10: And when he was alone, they that were
about him with the twelve asked of him the parable. |
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: |
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. |
4:13: And he said unto them, Know ye not this
parable? and how then will ye know all parables? |
4:14: The sower soweth the word. |
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. |
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; |
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. |
4:18: And these are they which are sown among
thorns; such as hear the word, |
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. |
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. |
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? |
4:22: For there is nothing hid, which shall
not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come
abroad. |
4:23: If any man have ears to hear, let him
hear. |
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. |
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. |
4:26: And he said, So is the kingdom of God,
as if a man should cast seed into the ground; |
4:27: And should sleep, and rise night and
day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how. |
4:28: For the earth bringeth forth fruit of
herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear. |
4:29: But when the fruit is brought forth,
immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come. |
4:30: And he said, Whereunto shall we liken
the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it? |
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: |
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. |
4:33: And with many such parables spake he
the word unto them, as they were able to hear it. |
4:34: But without a parable spake he not unto
them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples. |
4:35: And the same day, when the even was
come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side. |
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. |
4:37: And there arose a great storm of wind,
and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full. |
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? |
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. |
4:40: And he said unto them, Why are ye so
fearful? how is it that ye have no faith? |
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? |
5:1: And they came over unto the other side
of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes. |
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, |
5:3: Who had his dwelling among the tombs;
and no man could bind him, no, not with chains: |
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. |
5:5: And always, night and day, he was in the
mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones. |
5:6: But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran
and worshipped him, |
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. |
5:8: For he said unto him, Come out of the
man, thou unclean spirit. |
5:9: And he asked him, What is thy name? And
he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many. |
5:10: And he besought him much that he would
not send them away out of the country. |
5:11: Now there was there nigh unto the
mountains a great herd of swine feeding. |
5:12: And all the devils besought him,
saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
5:17: And they began to pray him to depart
out of their coasts. |
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. |
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. |
5:20: And he departed, and began to publish
in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him: and all men did marvel. |
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. |
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, |
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. |
5:24: And Jesus went with him; and much
people followed him, and thronged him. |
5:25: And a certain woman, which had an issue
of blood twelve years, |
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, |
5:27: When she had heard of Jesus, came in
the press behind, and touched his garment. |
5:28: For she said, If I may touch but his
clothes, I shall be whole. |
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. |
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? |
5:31: And his disciples said unto him, Thou
seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me? |
5:32: And he looked round about to see her
that had done this thing. |
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. |
5:34: And he said unto her, Daughter, thy
faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague. |
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? |
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. |
5:37: And he suffered no man to follow him,
save Peter, and James, and John the brother of James. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
5:43: And he charged them straitly that no
man should know it; and commanded that something should be given her to eat. |
6:1: And he went out from thence, and came
into his own country; and his disciples follow him. |
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? |
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. |
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. |
6:5: And he could there do no mighty work,
save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them. |
6:6: And he marvelled because of their unbelief.
And he went round about the villages, teaching. |
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; |
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: |
6:9: But be shod with sandals; and not put on
two coats. |
6:10: And he said unto them, In what place
soever ye enter into an house, there abide till ye depart from that place. |
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. |
6:12: And they went out, and preached that
men should repent. |
6:13: And they cast out many devils, and
anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them. |
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. |
6:15: Others said, That it is Elias. And
others said, That it is a prophet, or as one of the prophets. |
6:16: But when Herod heard thereof, he said,
It is John, whom I beheaded: he is risen from the dead. |
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. |
6:18: For John had said unto Herod, It is not
lawful for thee to have thy brother's wife. |
6:19: Therefore Herodias had a quarrel
against him, and would have killed him; but she could not: |
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. |
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; |
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. |
6:23: And he sware unto her, Whatsoever thou
shalt ask of me, I will give it thee, unto the half of my kingdom. |
6:24: And she went forth, and said unto her
mother, What shall I ask? And she said, The head of John the Baptist. |
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. |
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. |
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, |
6:28: And brought his head in a charger, and
gave it to the damsel: and the damsel gave it to her mother. |
6:29: And when his disciples heard of it,
they came and took up his corpse, and laid it in a tomb. |
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. |
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. |
6:32: And they departed into a desert place
by ship privately. |
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. |
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. |
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: |
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. |
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? |
6:38: He saith unto them, How many loaves
have ye? go and see. And when they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes. |
6:39: And he commanded them to make all sit
down by companies upon the green grass. |
6:40: And they sat down in ranks, by
hundreds, and by fifties. |
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. |
6:42: And they did all eat, and were filled. |
6:43: And they took up twelve baskets full of
the fragments, and of the fishes. |
6:44: And they that did eat of the loaves
were about five thousand men. |
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. |
6:46: And when he had sent them away, he
departed into a mountain to pray. |
6:47: And when even was come, the ship was in
the midst of the sea, and he alone on the land. |
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. |
6:49: But when they saw him walking upon the
sea, they supposed it had been a spirit, and cried out: |
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. |
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. |
6:52: For they considered not the miracle of
the loaves: for their heart was hardened. |
6:53: And when they had passed over, they
came into the land of Gennesaret, and drew to the shore. |
6:54: And when they were come out of the ship,
straightway they knew him, |
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. |
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. |
7:1: Then came together unto him the
Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, which came from Jerusalem. |
7:2: And when they saw some of his disciples
eat bread with defiled, that is to say, with unwashen, hands, they found
fault. |
7:3: For the Pharisees, and all the Jews,
except they wash their hands oft, eat not, holding the tradition of the
elders. |
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. |
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? |
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. |
7:7: Howbeit in vain do they worship me,
teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. |
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. |
7:9: And he said unto them, Full well ye
reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition. |
7:10: For Moses said, Honour thy father and
thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death: |
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. |
7:12: And ye suffer him no more to do ought
for his father or his mother; |
7:13: Making the word of God of none effect
through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do
ye. |
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: |
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. |
7:16: If any man have ears to hear, let him
hear. |
7:17: And when he was entered into the house
from the people, his disciples asked him concerning the parable. |
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; |
7:19: Because it entereth not into his heart,
but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats? |
7:20: And he said, That which cometh out of
the man, that defileth the man. |
7:21: For from within, out of the heart of
men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, |
7:22: Thefts, covetousness, wickedness,
deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: |
7:23: All these evil things come from within,
and defile the man. |
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. |
7:25: For a certain woman, whose young
daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet: |
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. |
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. |
7:28: And she answered and said unto him,
Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs. |
7:29: And he said unto her, For this saying
go thy way; the devil is gone out of thy daughter. |
7:30: And when she was come to her house, she
found the devil gone out, and her daughter laid upon the bed. |
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. |
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. |
7:33: And he took him aside from the
multitude, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spit, and touched his
tongue; |
7:34: And looking up to heaven, he sighed,
and saith unto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened. |
7:35: And straightway his ears were opened,
and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plain. |
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; |
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. |
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, |
8:2: I have compassion on the multitude,
because they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat: |
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. |
8:4: And his disciples answered him, From
whence can a man satisfy these men with bread here in the wilderness? |
8:5: And he asked them, How many loaves have
ye? And they said, Seven. |
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. |
8:7: And they had a few small fishes: and he
blessed, and commanded to set them also before them. |
8:8: So they did eat, and were filled: and
they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets. |
8:9: And they that had eaten were about four
thousand: and he sent them away. |
8:10: And straightway he entered into a ship
with his disciples, and came into the parts of Dalmanutha. |
8:11: And the Pharisees came forth, and began
to question with him, seeking of him a sign from heaven, tempting him. |
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. |
8:13: And he left them, and entering into the
ship again departed to the other side. |
8:14: Now the disciples had forgotten to take
bread, neither had they in the ship with them more than one loaf. |
8:15: And he charged them, saying, Take heed,
beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod. |
8:16: And they reasoned among themselves,
saying, It is because we have no bread. |
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? |
8:18: Having eyes, see ye not? and having
ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember? |
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. |
8:20: And when the seven among four thousand,
how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? And they said, Seven. |
8:21: And he said unto them, How is it that
ye do not understand? |
8:22: And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they
bring a blind man unto him, and besought him to touch him. |
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. |
8:24: And he looked up, and said, I see men
as trees, walking. |
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. |
8:26: And he sent him away to
his house, saying, Neither go into the town, nor tell it to any in the town. |
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? |
8:28: And they answered, John
the Baptist: but some say, Elias; and others, One of the prophets. |
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. |
8:30: And he charged them that they
should tell no man of him. |
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. |
8:32: And he spake that saying
openly. And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
8:36: For what shall it profit
a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? |
8:37: Or what shall a man give
in exchange for his soul? |
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. |
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. |
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. |
9:3: And his raiment became
shining, exceeding white as snow; so as no fuller on earth can white them. |
9:4: And there appeared unto
them Elias with Moses: and they were talking with Jesus. |
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. |
9:6: For he wist not what to
say; for they were sore afraid. |
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. |
9:8: And suddenly, when they
had looked round about, they saw no man any more, save Jesus only with
themselves. |
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. |
9:10: And they kept that saying
with themselves, questioning one with another what the rising from the dead should
mean. |
9:11: And they asked him,
saying, Why say the scribes that Elias must first come? |
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. |
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. |
9:14: And when he came to his
disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and the scribes questioning
with them. |
9:15: And straightway all the
people, when they beheld him, were greatly amazed, and running to him saluted
him. |
9:16: And he asked the scribes,
What question ye with them? |
9:17: And one of the multitude
answered and said, Master, I have brought unto thee my son, which hath a dumb
spirit; |
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. |
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. |
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. |
9:21: And he asked his father,
How long is it ago since this came unto him? And he said, Of a child. |
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. |
9:23: Jesus said unto him, If
thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. |
9:24: And straightway the
father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help
thou mine unbelief. |
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. |
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. |
9:27: But Jesus took him by the
hand, and lifted him up; and he arose. |
9:28: And when he was come into
the house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast him out? |
9:29: And he said unto them,
This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting. |
9:30: And they departed thence,
and passed through Galilee; and he would not that any man should know it. |
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. |
9:32: But they understood not
that saying, and were afraid to ask him. |
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? |
9:34: But they held their
peace: for by the way they had disputed among themselves, who should be the
greatest. |
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. |
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, |
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. |
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. |
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. |
9:40: For he that is not
against us is on our part. |
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. |
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. |
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: |
9:44: Where their worm dieth
not, and the fire is not quenched. |
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: |
9:46: Where their worm dieth
not, and the fire is not quenched. |
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: |
9:48: Where their worm dieth
not, and the fire is not quenched. |
9:49: For every one shall be
salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt. |
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. |
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. |
10:2: And the Pharisees came to
him, and asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? tempting
him. |
10:3: And he answered and said
unto them, What did Moses command you? |
10:4: And they said, Moses
suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away. |
10:5: And Jesus answered and
said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept. |
10:6: But from the beginning of
the creation God made them male and female. |
10:7: For this cause shall a
man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; |
10:8: And they twain shall be
one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. |
10:9: What therefore God hath
joined together, let not man put asunder. |
10:10: And in the house his
disciples asked him again of the same matter. |
10:11: And he saith unto them,
Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery
against her. |
10:12: And if a woman shall put
away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery. |
10:13: And they brought young
children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those
that brought them. |
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. |
10:15: Verily I say unto you,
Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall
not enter therein. |
10:16: And he took them up in
his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them. |
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? |
10:18: And Jesus said unto him,
Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God. |
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. |
10:20: And he answered and said
unto him, Master, all these have I observed from my youth. |
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. |
10:22: And he was sad at that
saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions. |
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! |
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! |
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. |
10:26: And they were astonished
out of measure, saying among themselves, Who then can be saved? |
10:27: And Jesus looking upon
them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all
things are possible. |
10:28: Then Peter began to say
unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee. |
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, |
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. |
10:31: But many that are first
shall be last; and the last first. |
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, |
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: |
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. |
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. |
10:36: And he said unto them,
What would ye that I should do for you? |
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. |
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? |
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: |
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. |
10:41: And when the ten heard
it, they began to be much displeased with James and John. |
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. |
10:43: But so shall it not be
among you: but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your minister: |
10:44: And whosoever of you
will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
10:50: And he, casting away his
garment, rose, and came to Jesus. |
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. |
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. |
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, |
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. |
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. |
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. |
11:5: And certain of them that
stood there said unto them, What do ye, loosing the colt? |
11:6: And they said unto them
even as Jesus had commanded: and they let them go. |
11:7: And they brought the colt
to Jesus, and cast their garments on him; and he sat upon him. |
11:8: And many spread their
garments in the way: and others cut down branches off the trees, and strawed
them in the way. |
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: |
11:10: Blessed be the kingdom
of our father David, that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the
highest. |
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. |
11:12: And on the morrow, when
they were come from Bethany, he was hungry: |
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. |
11:14: And Jesus answered and
said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples
heard it. |
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; |
11:16: And would not suffer
that any man should carry any vessel through the temple. |
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. |
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. |
11:19: And when even was come,
he went out of the city. |
11:20: And in the morning, as
they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. |
11:21: And Peter calling to
remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst
is withered away. |
11:22: And Jesus answering
saith unto them, Have faith in God. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
11:26: But if ye do not
forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses. |
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, |
11:28: And say unto him, By
what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority to
do these things? |
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. |
11:30: The baptism of John, was
it from heaven, or of men? answer me. |
11:31: And they reasoned with
themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did
ye not believe him? |
11:32: But if we shall say, Of
men; they feared the people: for all men counted John, that he was a prophet
indeed. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
12:3: And they caught him, and
beat him, and sent him away empty. |
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. |
12:5: And again he sent
another; and him they killed, and many others; beating some, and killing
some. |
12:6: Having yet therefore one
son, his wellbeloved, he sent him also last unto them, saying, They will
reverence my son. |
12:7: But those husbandmen said
among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the
inheritance shall be ours. |
12:8: And they took him, and
killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard. |
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. |
12:10: And have ye not read
this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of
the corner: |
12:11: This was the Lord's
doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes? |
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. |
12:13: And they send unto him
certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, to catch him in his words. |
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? |
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. |
12:16: And they brought it. And
he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? And they said
unto him, Caesar's. |
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. |
12:18: Then come unto him the
Sadducees, which say there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying, |
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. |
12:20: Now there were seven
brethren: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed. |
12:21: And the second took her,
and died, neither left he any seed: and the third likewise. |
12:22: And the seven had her,
and left no seed: last of all the woman died also. |
12:23: In the resurrection
therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife shall she be of them? for the
seven had her to wife. |
12:24: And Jesus answering said
unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures,
neither the power of God? |
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. |
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? |
12:27: He is not the God of the
dead, but the God of the living: ye therefore do greatly err. |
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? |
12:29: And Jesus answered him,
The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one
Lord: |
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. |
12:31: And the second is like,
namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other
commandment greater than these. |
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: |
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. |
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. |
12:35: And Jesus answered and
said, while he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that Christ is the
Son of David? |
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. |
12:37: David therefore himself
calleth him Lord; and whence is he then his son? And the common people heard
him gladly. |
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, |
12:39: And the chief seats in
the synagogues, and the uppermost rooms at feasts: |
12:40: Which devour widows'
houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater
damnation. |
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. |
12:42: And there came a certain
poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing. |
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: |
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. |
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! |
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. |
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, |
13:4: Tell us, when shall these
things be? and what shall be the sign when all these things shall be
fulfilled? |
13:5: And Jesus answering them
began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you: |
13:6: For many shall come in my
name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
13:10: And the gospel must
first be published among all nations. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
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: |
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: |
13:16: And let him that is in
the field not turn back again for to take up his garment. |
13:17: But woe to them that are
with child, and to them that give suck in those days! |
13:18: And pray ye that your
flight be not in the winter. |
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. |
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. |
13:21: And then if any man
shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not: |
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. |
13:23: But take ye heed:
behold, I have foretold you all things. |
13:24: But in those days, after
that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her
light, |
13:25: And the stars of heaven
shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken. |
13:26: And then shall they see
the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. |
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. |
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: |
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. |
13:30: Verily I say unto you,
that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done. |
13:31: Heaven and earth shall
pass away: but my words shall not pass away. |
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. |
13:33: Take ye heed, watch and
pray: for ye know not when the time is. |
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. |
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: |
13:36: Lest coming suddenly he
find you sleeping. |
13:37: And what I say unto you
I say unto all, Watch. |
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. |
14:2: But they said, Not on the
feast day, lest there be an uproar of the people. |
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. |
14:4: And there were some that
had indignation within themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the
ointment made? |
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. |
14:6: And Jesus said, Let her
alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work on me. |
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. |
14:8: She hath done what she
could: she is come aforehand to anoint my body to the burying. |
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. |
14:10: And Judas Iscariot, one
of the twelve, went unto the chief priests, to betray him unto them. |
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. |
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? |
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. |
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? |
14:15: And he will shew you a
large upper room furnished and prepared: there make ready for us. |
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. |
14:17: And in the evening he
cometh with the twelve. |
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. |
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? |
14:20: And he answered and said
unto them, It is one of the twelve, that dippeth with me in the dish. |
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. |
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. |
14:23: And he took the cup, and
when he had given thanks, he gave it to them: and they all drank of it. |
14:24: And he said unto them,
This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many. |
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. |
14:26: And when they had sung
an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives. |
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. |
14:28: But after that I am
risen, I will go before you into Galilee. |
14:29: But Peter said unto him,
Although all shall be offended, yet will not I. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
14:33: And he taketh with him
Peter and James and John, and began to be sore amazed, and to be very heavy; |
14:34: And saith unto them, My
soul is exceeding sorrowful unto death: tarry ye here, and watch. |
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. |
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. |
14:37: And he cometh, and
findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter, Simon, sleepest thou? couldest
not thou watch one hour? |
14:38: Watch ye and pray, lest
ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak. |
14:39: And again he went away,
and prayed, and spake the same words. |
14:40: And when he returned, he
found them asleep again, (for their eyes were heavy,) neither wist they what
to answer him. |
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. |
14:42: Rise up, let us go; lo,
he that betrayeth me is at hand. |
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. |
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. |
14:45: And as soon as he was
come, he goeth straightway to him, and saith, Master, master; and kissed him. |
14:46: And they laid their
hands on him, and took him. |
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. |
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? |
14:49: I was daily with you in
the temple teaching, and ye took me not: but the scriptures must be
fulfilled. |
14:50: And they all forsook
him, and fled. |
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: |
14:52: And he left the linen
cloth, and fled from them naked. |
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. |
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. |
14:55: And the chief priests
and all the council sought for witness against Jesus to put him to death; and
found none. |
14:56: For many bare false
witness against him, but their witness agreed not together. |
14:57: And there arose certain,
and bare false witness against him, saying, |
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. |
14:59: But neither so did their
witness agree together. |
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? |
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? |
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. |
14:63: Then the high priest
rent his clothes, and saith, What need we any further witnesses? |
14:64: Ye have heard the
blasphemy: what think ye? And they all condemned him to be guilty of death. |
14:65: And some began to spit
on him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him, and to say unto him,
Prophesy: and the servants did strike him with the palms of their hands. |
14:66: And as Peter was beneath
in the palace, there cometh one of the maids of the high priest: |
14:67: And when she saw Peter
warming himself, she looked upon him, and said, And thou also wast with Jesus
of Nazareth. |
14:68: But he denied, saying, I
know not, neither understand I what thou sayest. And he went out into the
porch; and the cock crew. |
14:69: And a maid saw him
again, and began to say to them that stood by, This is one of them. |
14:70: And he denied it again.
And a little after, they that stood by said again to Peter, Surely thou art
one of them: for thou art a Galilaean, and thy speech agreeth thereto. |
14:71: But he began to curse
and to swear, saying, I know not this man of whom ye speak. |
14:72: And the second time the
cock crew. And Peter called to mind the word that Jesus said unto him, Before
the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. And when he thought thereon,
he wept. |
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. |
15:2: And Pilate asked him, Art
thou the King of the Jews? And he answering said unto him, Thou sayest it. |
15:3: And the chief priests
accused him of many things: but he answered nothing. |
15:4: And Pilate asked him
again, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things they witness
against thee. |
15:5: But Jesus yet answered
nothing; so that Pilate marvelled. |
15:6: Now at that feast he
released unto them one prisoner, whomsoever they desired. |
15:7: And there was one named Barabbas,
which lay bound with them that had made insurrection with him, who had
committed murder in the insurrection. |
15:8: And the multitude crying
aloud began to desire him to do as he had ever done unto them. |
15:9: But Pilate answered them,
saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews? |
15:10: For he knew that the
chief priests had delivered him for envy. |
15:11: But the chief priests
moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them. |
15:12: And Pilate answered and
said again unto them, What will ye then that I shall do unto him whom ye call
the King of the Jews? |
15:13: And they cried out
again, Crucify him. |
15:14: Then Pilate said unto
them, Why, what evil hath he done? And they cried out the more exceedingly,
Crucify him. |
15:15: And so Pilate, willing
to content the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when
he had scourged him, to be crucified. |
15:16: And the soldiers led him
away into the hall, called Praetorium; and they call together the whole band. |
15:17: And they clothed him
with purple, and platted a crown of thorns, and put it about his head, |
15:18: And began to salute him,
Hail, King of the Jews! |
15:19: And they smote him on
the head with a reed, and did spit upon him, and bowing their knees
worshipped him. |
15:20: And when they had mocked
him, they took off the purple from him, and put his own clothes on him, and
led him out to crucify him. |
15:21: And they compel one
Simon a Cyrenian, who passed by, coming out of the country, the father of
Alexander and Rufus, to bear his cross. |
15:22: And they bring him unto
the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, The place of a skull. |
15:23: And they gave him to
drink wine mingled with myrrh: but he received it not. |
15:24: And when they had
crucified him, they parted his garments, casting lots upon them, what every
man should take. |
15:25: And it was the third
hour, and they crucified him. |
15:26: And the superscription
of his accusation was written over, THE KING OF THE JEWS. |
15:27: And with him they
crucify two thieves; the one on his right hand, and the other on his left. |
15:28: And the scripture was
fulfilled, which saith, And he was numbered with the transgressors. |
15:29: And they that passed by
railed on him, wagging their heads, and saying, Ah, thou that destroyest the
temple, and buildest it in three days, |
15:30: Save thyself, and come
down from the cross. |
15:31: Likewise also the chief
priests mocking said among themselves with the scribes, He saved others;
himself he cannot save. |
15:32: Let Christ the King of
Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that
were crucified with him reviled him. |
15:33: And when the sixth hour
was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour. |
15:34: And at the ninth hour
Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which
is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? |
15:35: And some of them that
stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he calleth Elias. |
15:36: 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. |
15:37: And Jesus cried with a
loud voice, and gave up the ghost. |
15:38: And the veil of the
temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom. |
15:39: And when the centurion,
which stood over against him, saw that he so cried out, and gave up the
ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God. |
15:40: There were also women
looking on afar off: among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of
James the less and of Joses, and Salome; |
15:41: (Who also, when he was
in Galilee, followed him, and ministered unto him;) and many other women
which came up with him unto Jerusalem. |
15:42: And now when the even
was come, because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the
sabbath, |
15:43: Joseph of Arimathaea, an
honourable counsellor, which also waited for the kingdom of God, came, and
went in boldly unto Pilate, and craved the body of Jesus. |
15:44: And Pilate marvelled if
he were already dead: and calling unto him the centurion, he asked him
whether he had been any while dead. |
15:45: And when he knew it of
the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph. |
15:46: And he bought fine
linen, and took him down, and wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a
sepulchre which was hewn out of a rock, and rolled a stone unto the door of
the sepulchre. |
15:47: And Mary Magdalene and
Mary the mother of Joses beheld where he was laid. |
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. |
16:2: And very early in the
morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising
of the sun. |
16:3: And they said among
themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre? |
16:4: And when they looked,
they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great. |
16:5: And entering into the
sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long
white garment; and they were affrighted. |
16:6: And he saith unto them, Be not
affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he
is not here: behold the place where they laid him. |
16:7: But go your way, tell his disciples and
Peter that he goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he
said unto you. |
16:8: And they went out quickly, and fled
from the sepulchre; for they trembled and were amazed: neither said they any
thing to any man; for they were afraid. |
16:9: Now when Jesus was risen early the
first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he
had cast seven devils. |
