                               CHAPTER 9

 MAR 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.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 9:3 And his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow; so as no
fuller on earth can white them.
 MAR 9:4 And there appeared unto them Elias with Moses: and they were talking
with Jesus.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 9:6 For he wist not what to say; for they were sore afraid.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 9:8 And suddenly, when they had looked round about, they saw no man any
more, save Jesus only with themselves.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 9:10 And they kept that saying with themselves, questioning one with
another what the rising from the dead should mean.
 MAR 9:11 And they asked him, saying, Why say the scribes that Elias must first
come?
 MAR 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.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 9:14 And when he came to his disciples, he saw a great multitude about
them, and the scribes questioning with them.
 MAR 9:15 And straightway all the people, when they beheld him, were greatly
amazed, and running to him saluted him.
 MAR 9:16 And he asked the scribes, What question ye with them?
 MAR 9:17 And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought
unto thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit;
 MAR 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.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 9:21 And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him?
And he said, Of a child.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 9:23 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible
to him that believeth.
 MAR 9:24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with
tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 9:27 But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose.
 MAR 9:28 And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him
privately, Why could not we cast him out?
 MAR 9:29 And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by
prayer and fasting.
 MAR 9:30 And they departed thence, and passed through Galilee; and he would
not that any man should know it.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 9:32 But they understood not that saying, and were afraid to ask him.
 MAR 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?
 MAR 9:34 But they held their peace: for by the way they had disputed among
themselves, who should be the greatest.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 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,
 MAR 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.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 9:40 For he that is not against us is on our part.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 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:
 MAR 9:44 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
 MAR 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:
 MAR 9:46 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
 MAR 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:
 MAR 9:48 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
 MAR 9:49 For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be
salted with salt.
 MAR 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.


                              CHAPTER 10

 MAR 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.
 MAR 10:2 And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him, Is it lawful for a man
to put away his wife? tempting him.
 MAR 10:3 And he answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you?
 MAR 10:4 And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to
put her away.
 MAR 10:5 And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart
he wrote you this precept.
 MAR 10:6 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.
 MAR 10:7 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to
his wife;
 MAR 10:8 And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain,
but one flesh.
 MAR 10:9 What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
 MAR 10:10 And in the house his disciples asked him again of the same matter.
 MAR 10:11 And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry
another, committeth adultery against her.
 MAR 10:12 And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to
another, she committeth adultery.
 MAR 10:13 And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them:
and his disciples rebuked those that brought them.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 10:15 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of
God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.
 MAR 10:16 And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and
blessed them.
 MAR 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?
 MAR 10:18 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none
good but one, that is, God.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 10:20 And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I observed
from my youth.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 10:22 And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had
great possessions.
 MAR 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!
 MAR 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!
 MAR 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.
 MAR 10:26 And they were astonished out of measure, saying among themselves,
Who then can be saved?
 MAR 10:27 And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but
not with God: for with God all things are possible.
 MAR 10:28 Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have
followed thee.
 MAR 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,
 MAR 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.
 MAR 10:31 But many that are first shall be last; and the last first.
 MAR 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,
 MAR 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:
 MAR 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.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 10:36 And he said unto them, What would ye that I should do for you?
 MAR 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.
 MAR 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?
 MAR 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:
 MAR 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.
 MAR 10:41 And when the ten heard it, they began to be much displeased with
James and John.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 10:43 But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will be great among
you, shall be your minister:
 MAR 10:44 And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 10:50 And he, casting away his garment, rose, and came to Jesus.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 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.


                               CHAPTER 11

 MAR 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,
 MAR 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.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 11:5 And certain of them that stood there said unto them, What do ye,
loosing the colt?
 MAR 11:6 And they said unto them even as Jesus had commanded: and they let
them go.
 MAR 11:7 And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments on him;
and he sat upon him.
 MAR 11:8 And many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down
branches off the trees, and strawed them in the way.
 MAR 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:
 MAR 11:10 Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that cometh in the name
of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 11:12 And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry:
 MAR 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.
 MAR 11:14 And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee
hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it.
 MAR 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;
 MAR 11:16 And would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through
the temple.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 11:19 And when even was come, he went out of the city.
 MAR 11:20 And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried
up from the roots.
 MAR 11:21 And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the
fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.
 MAR 11:22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 11:26 But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in
heaven forgive your trespasses.
 MAR 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,
 MAR 11:28 And say unto him, By what authority doest thou these things? and who
gave thee this authority to do these things?
 MAR 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.
 MAR 11:30 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men? answer me.
 MAR 11:31 And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From
heaven; he will say, Why then did ye not believe him?
 MAR 11:32 But if we shall say, Of men; they feared the people: for all men
counted John, that he was a prophet indeed.
 MAR 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.


                              CHAPTER 12

 MAR 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.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 12:3 And they caught him, and beat him, and sent him away empty.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 12:5 And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many others;
beating some, and killing some.
 MAR 12:6 Having yet therefore one son, his wellbeloved, he sent him also last
unto them, saying, They will reverence my son.
 MAR 12:7 But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come,
let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be our's.
 MAR 12:8 And they took him, and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 12:10 And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders
rejected is become the head of the corner:
 MAR 12:11 This was the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?
 MAR 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.
 MAR 12:13 And they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the
Herodians, to catch him in his words.
 MAR 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?
 MAR 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.
 MAR 12:16 And they brought it. And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and
superscription? And they said unto him, Caesar's.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 12:18 Then come unto him the Sadducees, which say there is no
resurrection; and they asked him, saying,
 MAR 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.
 MAR 12:20 Now there were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and dying
left no seed.
 MAR 12:21 And the second took her, and died, neither left he any seed: and the
third likewise.
 MAR 12:22 And the seven had her, and left no seed: last of all the woman died
also.
 MAR 12:23 In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife
shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife.
 MAR 12:24 And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because
ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?
 MAR 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.
 MAR 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?
 MAR 12:27 He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living: ye
therefore do greatly err.
 MAR 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?
 MAR 12:29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear,
O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:
 MAR 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.
 MAR 12:31 And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour
as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.
 MAR 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:
 MAR 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.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 12:35 And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the temple, How say
the scribes that Christ is the son of David?
 MAR 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.
 MAR 12:37 David therefore himself calleth him Lord; and whence is he then his
son? And the common people heard him gladly.
 MAR 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,
 MAR 12:39 And the chief seats in the synagogues, and the uppermost rooms at
feasts:
 MAR 12:40 Which devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayers:
these shall receive greater damnation.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 12:42 And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites,
which make a farthing.
 MAR 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:
 MAR 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.


                               CHAPTER 13

 MAR 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!
 MAR 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.
 MAR 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,
 MAR 13:4 Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when
all these things shall be fulfilled?
 MAR 13:5 And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive
you:
 MAR 13:6 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall
deceive many.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 13:10 And the gospel must first be published among all nations.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 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:
 MAR 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:
 MAR 13:16 And let him that is in the field not turn back again for to take up
his garment.
 MAR 13:17 But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in
those days!
 MAR 13:18 And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 13:21 And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he
is there; believe him not:
 MAR 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.
 MAR 13:23 But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.
 MAR 13:24 But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be
darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,
 MAR 13:25 And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in
heaven shall be shaken.
 MAR 13:26 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with
great power and glory.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 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:
 MAR 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.
 MAR 13:30 Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all
these things be done.
 MAR 13:31 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 13:33 Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 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:
 MAR 13:36 Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.
 MAR 13:37 And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.


                               CHAPTER 14

 MAR 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.
 MAR 14:2 But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar of the
people.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 14:4 And there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said,
Why was this waste of the ointment made?
 MAR 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.
 MAR 14:6 And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a
good work on me.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 14:8 She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand to anoint my body
to the burying.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 14:10 And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went unto the chief priests,
to betray him unto them.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 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?
 MAR 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.
 MAR 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?
 MAR 14:15 And he will shew you a large upper room furnished and prepared:
there make ready for us.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 14:17 And in the evening he cometh with the twelve.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 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?
 MAR 14:20 And he answered and said unto them, It is one of the twelve, that
dippeth with me in the dish.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 14:23 And he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to
them: and they all drank of it.
 MAR 14:24 And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which
is shed for many.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 14:26 And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of
Olives.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 14:28 But after that I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee.
 MAR 14:29 But Peter said unto him, Although all shall be offended, yet will
not I.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 14:33 And he taketh with him Peter and James and John, and began to be
sore amazed, and to be very heavy;
 MAR 14:34 And saith unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful unto death:
tarry ye here, and watch.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 14:37 And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter,
Simon, sleepest thou? couldest not thou watch one hour?
 MAR 14:38 Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly
is ready, but the flesh is weak.
 MAR 14:39 And again he went away, and prayed, and spake the same words.
 MAR 14:40 And when he returned, he found them asleep again, (for their eyes
were heavy,) neither wist they what to answer him.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 14:42 Rise up, let us go; lo, he that betrayeth me is at hand.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 14:45 And as soon as he was come, he goeth straightway to him, and saith,
Master, master; and kissed him.
 MAR 14:46 And they laid their hands on him, and took him.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 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?
 MAR 14:49 I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and ye took me not: but
the scriptures must be fulfilled.
 MAR 14:50 And they all forsook him, and fled.
 MAR 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:
 MAR 14:52 And he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 14:55 And the chief priests and all the council sought for witness against
Jesus to put him to death; and found none.
 MAR 14:56 For many bare false witness against him, but their witness agreed
not together.
 MAR 14:57 And there arose certain, and bare false witness against him, saying,
 MAR 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.
 MAR 14:59 But neither so did their witness agree together.
 MAR 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?
 MAR 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?
 MAR 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.
 MAR 14:63 Then the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What need we any
further witnesses?
 MAR 14:64 Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye? And they all condemned
him to be guilty of death.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 14:66 And as Peter was beneath in the palace, there cometh one of the
maids of the high priest:
 MAR 14:67 And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked upon him, and
said, And thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 14:69 And a maid saw him again, and began to say to them that stood by,
This is one of them.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 14:71 But he began to curse and to swear, saying, I know not this man of
whom ye speak.
 MAR 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.


                              CHAPTER 15

 MAR 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.
 MAR 15:2 And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering
said unto them, Thou sayest it.
 MAR 15:3 And the chief priests accused him of many things: but he answered
nothing.
 MAR 15:4 And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold
how many things they witness against thee.
 MAR 15:5 But Jesus yet answered nothing; so that Pilate marvelled.
 MAR 15:6 Now at that feast he released unto them one prisoner, whomsoever they
desired.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 15:8 And the multitude crying aloud began to desire him to do as he had
ever done unto them.
 MAR 15:9 But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the
King of the Jews?
 MAR 15:10 For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy.
 MAR 15:11 But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather
release Barabbas unto them.
 MAR 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?
 MAR 15:13 And they cried out again, Crucify him.
 MAR 15:14 Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? And they
cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 15:16 And the soldiers led him away into the hall, called Praetorium; and
they call together the whole band.
 MAR 15:17 And they clothed him with purple, and platted a crown of thorns, and
put it about his head,
 MAR 15:18 And began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews!
 MAR 15:19 And they smote him on the head with a reed, and did spit upon him,
and bowing their knees worshipped him.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 15:22 And they bring him unto the place Golgotha, which is, being
interpreted, The place of a skull.
 MAR 15:23 And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh: but he received
it not.
 MAR 15:24 And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, casting
lots upon them, what every man should take.
 MAR 15:25 And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.
 MAR 15:26 And the superscription of his accusation was written over, THE KING
OF THE JEWS.
 MAR 15:27 And with him they crucify two thieves; the one on his right hand,
and the other on his left.
 MAR 15:28 And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was numbered
with the transgressors.
 MAR 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,
 MAR 15:30 Save thyself, and come down from the cross.
 MAR 15:31 Likewise also the chief priests mocking said among themselves with
the scribes, He saved others; himself he cannot save.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 15:33 And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole
land until the ninth hour.
 MAR 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?
 MAR 15:35 And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he
calleth Elias.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 15:37 And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost.
 MAR 15:38 And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the
bottom.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 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;
 MAR 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.
 MAR 15:42 And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation, that
is, the day before the sabbath,
 MAR 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.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 15:45 And when he knew it of the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 15:47 And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses beheld where he was
laid.


                               CHAPTER 16

 MAR 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.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 16:3 And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from
the door of the sepulchre?
 MAR 16:4 And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it
was very great.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 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.
 MAR 16:10 And she went and told them that had been with him, as they mourned
and wept.
 MAR 16:11 And they, when they had heard that he was alive, and had been seen
of her, believed not.
 MAR 16:12 After that he appeared in another form unto two of them, as they
walked, and went into the country.
 MAR 16:13 And they went and told it unto the residue: neither believed they
them.
 MAR 16:14 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.
 MAR 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the
gospel to every creature.
 MAR 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that
believeth not shall be damned.
 MAR 16:17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall
they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
 MAR 16:18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it
shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
 MAR 16:19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into
heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.
 MAR 16:20 And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with
them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.
