Book of Mark Explained

Title: Mark, for whom this gospel is named, was a close companion of the Apostle Peter and a recurring character in the book of Acts, where he is known as "John who was also called Mark" (Acts 12:12, 25; 15:37, 39). It was to John Mark's mother's home in Jerusalem that Peter went when released from prison (Acts 12:12).


John Mark was a cousin of Barnabas (Col. 4:10), who accompanied Paul and Barnabas on Pauls' first missionary journey (Acts 12:25; 13:5). But he deserted on the way in Perga and returned to Jerusalem (Acts. 13:13). When Barnabas wanted Paul to take John Mark on the second missionary journey, Paul refused. The friction which resulted between Paul and Barnabas led to their separation (Acts 15:38-40).


But John Mark's earlier vacillation evidently gave way to great strength and maturity, and in time he proved himself even to the Apostle Paul. When Paul wrote the Colossians, he instructed them that if John Mark came, they were to welcome him (Col. 4:10). Paul even listed Mark as a fellow worker (Philemon 24). Later, Paul told Timothy to "Pick up Mark and bring him with you, for he is useful to me for service" (2 Tim. 4:11).


John Mark's restoration to useful ministry may have been, in part, due to the ministry of Peter. Peter's close relationship with Mark is evident from his description of him as "my son, Mark" (1 Peter 5:13). Peter, of course, was no stranger to failure himself, and his influence on the younger man was no doubt instrumental in helping him out of the instability of his youth and into the strength and maturity he would need for the work to which God had called him.


Author - Date: Ancient testimony names John Mark as the writer. Few have challenged this tradition; none has done so persuasively. The gospel itself may contain a cryptic allusion to its author (14:51-52), but no name is given. In Scripture Mark sometimes goes by the name John alone (Acts 13:5, 13; 15:37), sometimes by Mark alone (Col. 4:10; 2 Tim. 41; Philem. 24; 1 Pet. 5:13), and twice by both names (Acts 12:12). He was the son of Mary, a woman of some means in Jerusalem (Acts 12:12).


Unlike the epistles, the gospels do not name their authors. The early church fathers, however, unanimously affirm that Mark wrote this second gospel. Papias, bishop of Hierapolis, writing about A.D. 140, noted:


And the presbyter "the Apostle John", said this: Mark having become the interpreter of Peter, wrote down accurately whatsoever he remembered. It was not, however, in exact order that he related the sayings or deeds of Christ. For he neither heard the Lord nor accompanied Him. But afterwards, as I said, he accompanied Peter, who accommodated his instruction to the necessities (of his hearers), but with no intention of giving a regular narrative of the Lord's sayings. Wherefore Mark made no mistake in thus writing some things as he remembered them. For of one thing he took especial care, not to omit anything he had heard, and not to put anything fictitious into the statements (From the Exposition of the Oracles of the Lord (6).


Justin Martyr, writing about A.D. 150, referred to the Gospel of Mark as "the memoirs of Peter", and suggested that Mark committed his gospel to writing while in Italy. This agrees with the uniform voice of early tradition, which regarded this gospel as having been written in Rome, for the benefit of Roman Christians. Irenaeus, writing about A.D. 185, called Mark "the disciple and interpreter of Peter", and recorded that the second gospel consisted of what Peter preached about Christ. The testimony of the church fathers differs as to whether this gospel was written before or after Peter's death (ca. A.D. 67-78).


Paul regarded him as one of the few who were faithful to his ministry to the end (2 Tim. 4:11). All of this suggests that Mark was a seasoned veteran of the Christian walk. He was well versed in apostolic teaching; he had extensive missionary experience under wise guides. Most importantly, he learned firsthand that God gives penitent believers opportunity to recover from past failure. Mark not only heard redemption and new life proclaimed, he experienced it in his own life.


Evangelical scholars have suggested dates for the writing of Mark's gospel ranging from A.D. 50 to 70. A date before the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple in A.D.70 is required by the comment of Jesus in 13:2. Luke's gospel was clearly written before Acts (Acts 1:1-3). The date of the writing of Acts can probably be fixed at about A.D. 63, because that is shortly after the narrative ends (See introduction to Acts: Author and Date. It is there likely, though not certain, that Mark was written at an early date, probably sometime in the 50s.


Many scholars date Mark in the 60's A.D. Some date it later, since (Mark 13:2), predicts the fall of Jerusalem (A.D. 70), and they deny that Jesus could have foretold the future. But predictive prophecy is quite within the ability of the Jesus of the New Testament. Mark has in fact been dated by some as early as the 40's. The exact date is not crucial to a grasp of Mark's message. In any case the book bears the stamp of an early and authentic written witness to Jesus' ministry.


Background - Setting: Whereas Matthew was written to a Jewish audience, Mark seems to have targeted Roman believers, particularly Gentiles. When employing Aramaic terms, Mark translated them for his readers (3:17; 5:41; 7:11, 34; 10:46; 14:36; 15:22, 34). On the other hand, in some places he used Latin expressions instead of their Greek equivalents (5;9; 6:27; 12;15, 42; 15:16, 39). He also reckoned time according to the Roman system (6:48; 13:35), and carefully explained Jewish customs (7:3-4; 14:12; 15:42). Mark omitted Jewish elements, such as the genealogies found in Matthew and Luke. This gospel also makes fewer references to the Old Testament, and includes less material that would be of particular interest to Jewish readers, such as that which is critical of the Pharisee and Sadducees (Sadducees are mentioned only once, in 12:18). When mentioning Simon of Cyrene (15:21), Mark identifies him as the father of Rufus, a prominent member of the church at Rome (Rom. 16:13). All of this supports the traditional view that Mark was written for a Gentile audience initially at Rome.


The friction which resulted between Paul and Barnabas led to their separation (Acts 15:38-40). But John Mark's earlier vacillation evidently gave way to greater strength and maturity, and in time he proved himself even to the Apostle Paul. When Paul wrote the Colossians, he instructed them that if John Mark came, they were to welcome him (Col. 4:10).


Paul even listed Mark as a fellow worker (Philemon 24). Later, Paul told Timothy to "Pick up Mark and bring him with you, for he is useful to me for service" (2 Tim. 4:11).


There is good evidence that this gospel reflects Peter's contribution. Mark and Peter certainly had close ties (1 Pet. 5:13); perhaps Peter led him to Christ. The gospel was composed by one who had considerable skill in literary, historical, and theological presentation and this points to Mark's own God-given insight. Yet comparison of the Gospel of Mark with Peter's sermons in Acts and with other data, suggest we are listening to a version of a story told in part by the venerable apostle Peter himself.


Historical - Theological Themes: Mark presents Jesus as the suffering Servant of the Lord (10:45). His focus is on the deeds of Jesus more than His teaching, particularly emphasizing service and sacrifice. Mark omits the lengthy discourses found in the other gospels, often relating only brief excerpts to give the gist of Jesus' teaching. Mark also omits any account of Jesus' ancestry and birth, beginning where Jesus' public ministry began, with His baptism by John in the wilderness.


Mark demonstrated the humanity of Christ more clearly than any of the other evangelists, emphasizing Christ's human emotions (1:41; 3:5; 6:34; 8:12; 9:36), His human limitations (4:38; 11:12; 13:32), and other small details that highlight the human side of the Son of God (e.g. 7:33-34; 8:12; 9:36; 10:13-16).


Distinctive Outlook: Well over a third of the book (chapters 11-16), deals with a tiny fraction of Jesus' earthly lifetime: the last week. Chapter 10 gives an account of Jesus' ministry as He moved slowly southward from Galilee to Jerusalem. This leaves (1:14-9:50), to cover His extensive work in Galilee, while the opening verses (1:1-13), vouch for the credentials of the Christ: His prophetic connections, His intimate kinship with God the Father and God the Spirit, and His bearing of the worst temptations that Satan could throw at Him.


(1) There seems no reason to reject the ancient tradition that Mark wrote primarily for a largely Gentile audience resident in Rome. This might account for many Latin terms found in the Gospel of Mark. This would also explain the lack of a genealogy of Christ and less direct dependence on the Old Testament than we find in Matthew and Luke. On the other hand, non-Jewish converts to Christ were still quite aware of their Old Testament roots. We may conclude that Mark is Christocentric and action-oriented (immediately, or a synonym of this word, occurs over 40 times). Mark strives for conciseness and brevity. The other gospels serve to fill out the Marcan framework. However, Mark does contain many unique details.


(2) Mark seeks to involve the reader in the gospel's witness to Jesus Christ. He does this through an uncomplicated and vivid literary style. He also writes in such a way that the discerning reader feels addressed or questioned, often by Jesus Himself. Mark does not aim merely to convey information. He seeks rather to furnish grounds for our decision to follow and keep following the main character of the gospel: Jesus Christ.


The Gospel of Mark does not admit of easy topical analysis. Many suggestions have been made. This outline seeks to relate Jesus' actions and teaching to His geographical location.

Mark 4



Mark Chapter 4


Mark 4:1 "And he began again to teach by the sea side: and there was gathered unto him a great multitude, so that he entered into a ship, and sat in the sea; and the whole multitude was by the sea on the land."


Mark 4:2 "And he taught them many things by parables, and said unto them in his doctrine,"


Mark 4:3 "Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow:"


Mark 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."


Mark 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:"


Mark 4:6 "But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away."


Mark 4:7 "And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit."


Mark 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 a hundred."


Mark 4:9 "And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear."


Mark 4:10 "And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable."


Mark 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:"


Mark 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."


Mark 4:13 "And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? And how then will ye know all parables?"


Mark 4:14 "The sower soweth the word."


Mark 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."

Mark 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;"


Mark 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."

.
Mark 4:18 "And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word,"


Mark 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."


Mark 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 a hundred."


Mark 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?"


Mark 4:22 "For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad."


Mark 4:23 "If any man have ears to hear, let him hear."


Mark 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."


Mark 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."


Mark 4:26 "And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground;"


Mark 4:27 "And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how."


Mark 4:28-29 "For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear." "But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come."


Mark 4:30 "And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it?"


Mark 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:"


Mark 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."


Mark 4:33 "And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear [it]."


Mark 4:34 "But without a parable spake he not unto them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples."


Mark 4:35 "And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side."


Mark 4:36-37 "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." "And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full."


Mark 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?"


Mark 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."


Mark 4:40 "And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?"


Mark 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?"



Mark 5



Mark Chapter 5


Mark 5:1 "And they came over unto the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes."

Mark 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,"


Mark 5:3 "Who had [his] dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind him, no, not with chains:"


Mark 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."

Mark 5:5 "And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones."

Mark 5:6 "But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him,"


Mark 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."


Mark 5:8 "For he said unto him, Come out of the man, [thou] unclean spirit."


Mark 5:9 "And he asked him, What [is] thy name? And he answered, saying, My name [is] Legion: for we are many."


Mark 5:10 "And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country."

Mark 5:11 "Now there was there nigh unto the mountains a great herd of swine feeding."

Mark 5:12 "And all the devils besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them."

Mark 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."


Mark 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."


Mark 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."


Mark 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."

Mark 5:17 "And they began to pray him to depart out of their coasts."

Mark 5:18-19 "And when he was come into the ship, he that had been possessed with the devil prayed him that he might be with him." "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."

Mark 5:20 "And he departed, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him: and all [men] did marvel."


Mark 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."


Mark 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,"


Mark 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."


Mark 5:24 "And [Jesus] went with him; and much people followed him, and thronged him."


Mark 5:25 "And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years,"


Mark 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,"


Mark 5:27-28 When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment." "For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole."


Mark 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."


Mark 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?"

Mark 5:31 "And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?"


Mark 5:32-33 "And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing." "But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth."


Mark 5:34 "And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague."


Mark 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?"


Mark 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."


Mark 5:37 "And he suffered no man to follow him, save Peter, and James, and John the brother of James."


Mark 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."


Mark 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."


Mark 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."


Mark 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."


Mark 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."


Mark 5:43 "And he charged them straitly that no man should know it; and commanded that something should be given her to eat."



Mark 6



Mark Chapter 6

 


Mark 6:1 "And he went out from thence, and came into his own country; and his disciples follow him."


Mark 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?"


Mark 6:3 "Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Judah, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him."


Mark 6:4 "But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honor, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house."


Mark 6:5 "And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed [them]."


Mark 6:6 "And he marveled because of their unbelief. And he went round about the villages, teaching."


Mark 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;"


Mark 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:"


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


Mark 6:10 "And he said unto them, In what place soever ye enter into an house, there abide till ye depart from that place."


Mark 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."


Mark 6:12 "And they went out, and preached that men should repent."


Mark 6:13 "And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed [them]."


Mark 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."


Mark 6:15 "Others said, That it is Elijah. And others said, That it is a prophet, or as one of the prophets."


Mark 6:16 "But when Herod heard [thereof], he said, It is John, whom I beheaded: he is risen from the dead."


Mark 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."


Mark 6:18 "For John had said unto Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother's wife."


Mark 6:19-20 "Therefore Herodias had a quarrel against him, and would have killed him; but she could not:" "For Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just man and a holy, and observed him; and when he heard him, he did many things, and heard him gladly."


Mark 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;"


Mark 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."


Mark 6:23 "And he sware unto her, Whatsoever thou shalt ask of me, I will give [it] thee, unto the half of my kingdom."


Mark 6:24-25 "And she went forth, and said unto her mother, What shall I ask? And she said, The head of John the Baptist." "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."


Mark 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."


Mark 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,"


Mark 6:28 "And brought his head in a charger, and gave it to the damsel: and the damsel gave it to her mother."


Mark 6:29 "And when his disciples heard [of it], they came and took up his corpse, and laid it in a tomb."


Mark 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."


Mark 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."


Mark 6:32 "And they departed into a desert place by ship privately."


Mark 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."


Mark 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."


Mark 6:35-36 "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:" "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."


Mark 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?"


Mark 6:38 "He saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? go and see. And when they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes."


Mark 6:39 "And he commanded them to make all sit down by companies upon the green grass."


Mark 6:40 "And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties."


Mark 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."


Mark 6:42 "And they did all eat, and were filled."


Mark 6:43 "And they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments, and of the fishes."


Mark 6:44 "And they that did eat of the loaves were about five thousand men."


Mark 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."


Mark 6:46 "And when he had sent them away, he departed into a mountain to pray."


Mark 6:47 "And when even was come, the ship was in the midst of the sea, and he alone on the land."


Mark 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."


Mark 6:49 "But when they saw him walking upon the sea, they supposed it had been a spirit, and cried out:"


Mark 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."


Mark 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."


Mark 6:52 "For they considered not [the miracle] of the loaves: for their heart was hardened."


Mark 6:53 "And when they had passed over, they came into the land of Gennesaret, and drew to the shore."


Mark 6:54 "And when they were come out of the ship, straightway they knew him,"


Mark 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."


Mark 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."




Mark 7



Mark Chapter 7


Mark 7:1 "Then came together unto him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, which came from Jerusalem."

Mark 7:2 "And when they saw some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, that is to say, with unwashen, hands, they found fault."


Mark 7:3 "For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash [their] hands oft, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders."


Mark 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."


Mark 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?"


Mark 7:6 "He answered and said unto them, Well hath Isaiah prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoreth me with [their] lips, but their heart is far from me."


Mark 7:7 "Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching [for] doctrines the commandments of men."


Mark 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."


Mark 7:9 "And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition."


Mark 7:10 "For Moses said, Honor thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death:"


Mark 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]."


Mark 7:12-13 "And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother;" "Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye."


Mark 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:"


Mark 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."


Mark 7:16 "If any man have ears to hear, let him hear."


Mark 7:17 "And when he was entered into the house from the people, his disciples asked him concerning the parable."


Mark 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;"


Mark 7:19 "Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats?"


Mark 7:20 "And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man."


Mark 7:21-22 "For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders," "Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:"


Mark 7:23 "All these evil things come from within, and defile the man."

Mark 7:24 "And from thence he arose, and went into the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and entered into a house, and would have no man know [it]: but he could not be hid."


Mark 7:25 "For a [certain] woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet:"


Mark 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."

 
Mark 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."


Mark 7:28 "And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs."


Mark 7:29 "And he said unto her, For this saying go thy way; the devil is gone out of thy daughter."


Mark 7:30 "And when she was come to her house, she found the devil gone out, and her daughter laid upon the bed."


Mark 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."


Mark 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."


Mark 7:33 "And he took him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spit, and touched his tongue;"


Mark 7:34 "And looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith unto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened."


Mark 7:35 "And straightway his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plain."


Mark 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];"


Mark 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."



Mark 8



Mark Chapter 8

 


Mark 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,"

 


Mark 8:2 "I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat:"


Mark 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."


Mark 8:4 "And his disciples answered him, From whence can a man satisfy these [men] with bread here in the wilderness?"


Mark 8:5 "And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven."


Mark 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."


Mark 8:7 "And they had a few small fishes: and he blessed, and commanded to set them also before [them]."


Mark 8:8 "So they did eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken [meat] that was left seven baskets."


Mark 8:9 "And they that had eaten were about four thousand: and he sent them away."


Mark 8:10 "And straightway he entered into a ship with his disciples, and came into the parts of Dalmanutha."


Mark 8:11 "And the Pharisees came forth, and began to question with him, seeking of him a sign from heaven, tempting him."


Mark 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."


Mark 8:13 "And he left them, and entering into the ship again departed to the other side."


Mark 8:14-15 "Now [the disciples] had forgotten to take bread, neither had they in the ship with them more than one loaf." "And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and [of] the leaven of Herod."


Mark 8:16 "And they reasoned among themselves, saying, [It is] because we have no bread."


Mark 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?"


Mark 8:18-21 "Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember?" "When I brake the five loaves among five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? They say unto him, Twelve." "And when the seven among four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? And they said, Seven." "And he said unto them, How is it that ye do not understand?"


Mark 8:22 "And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man unto him, and besought him to touch him."


Mark 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."


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


Mark 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."


Mark 8:26 "And he sent him away to his house, saying, Neither go into the town, nor tell [it] to any in the town."


Mark 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?"


Mark 8:28 "And they answered, John the Baptist: but some [say], Elijah; and others, One of the prophets."


Mark 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."


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


Mark 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."


Mark 8:32 "And he spake that saying openly. And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him."


Mark 8:33 "But when he had turned about and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou savorest not the things that be of God, but the things that be of men."


Mark 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."


Mark 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."


Mark 8:36-37 "For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?" "Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?"


Mark 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."



Mark 9



Mark Chapter 9


Mark 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."


Mark 9:2 "And after six days Jesus taketh [with him] Peter, and James, and John, and leadeth them up into a high mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured before them."

Mark 9:4 "And there appeared unto them Elijah with Moses: and they were talking with Jesus."


Mark 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 Elijah."


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


Mark 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."


Mark 9:8 "And suddenly, when they had looked round about, they saw no man any more, save Jesus only with themselves."


Mark 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."


Mark 9:10 "And they kept that saying with themselves, questioning one with another what the rising from the dead should mean.


Mark 9:11 "And they asked him, saying, Why say the scribes that Elijah must first come?"


Mark 9:12 "And he answered and told them, Elijah 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."


Mark 9:13 "But I say unto you, That Elijah is indeed come, and they have done unto him whatsoever they listed, as it is written of him."


Mark 9:14 "And when he came to [his] disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and the scribes questioning with them."


Mark 9:15 "And straightway all the people, when they beheld him, were greatly amazed, and running to [him] saluted him."


Mark 9:16 "And he asked the scribes, What question ye with them?"


Mark 9:17 "And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought unto thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit;"


Mark 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."


Mark 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."


Mark 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."


Mark 9:21 "And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him? And he said, Of a child."


Mark 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."


Mark 9:23 "Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things [are] possible to him that believeth."


Mark 9:24 "And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief."


Mark 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."


Mark 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."


Mark 9:27 "But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose."


Mark 9:28 "And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast him out?"

Mark 9:30 "And they departed thence, and passed through Galilee; and he would not that any man should know [it]."


Mark 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."


Mark 9:32 "But they understood not that saying, and were afraid to ask him."


Mark 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?"


Mark 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."


Mark 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,"


Mark 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."


Mark 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."

Mark 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:"


Mark 9:44 "Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched."


Mark 9:45-46 "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:" "Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched."


Mark 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:"


Mark 9:48 "Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched."


Mark 9:49 "For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt."


Mark 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."

Mark 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."


Mark 10:2 "And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away [his] wife? tempting him."


Mark 10:3 "And he answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you?"


Mark 10:4 "And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put [her] away."


Mark 10:5 "And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept."


Mark 10:6 "But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female."


Mark 10:7-8 "For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife;" "And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh."


Mark 10:9 "What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder."


Mark 10:10 "And in the house his disciples asked him again of the same [matter]."


Mark 10:11-12 "And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her." "And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery."


Mark 10:13 "And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and [his] disciples rebuked those that brought [them]."


Mark 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."


Mark 10:15 "Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein."


Mark 10:16 "And he took them up in his arms, put [his] hands upon them, and blessed them."

Mark 10:18 "And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? [there is] none good but one, [that is], God."


Mark 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."


Mark 10:20 "And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I observed from my youth."


Mark 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."


Mark 10:22 "And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions."


Mark 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!"


Mark 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!"


Mark 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."


Mark 10:26 "And they were astonished out of measure, saying among themselves, Who then can be saved?"


Mark 10:27 "And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men [it is] impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible."


Mark 10:28 "Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee."


Mark 10:29-30 "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," "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."


Mark 10:31 "But many [that are] first shall be last; and the last first."


Mark 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,"


Mark 10:33-34 "[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:" "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."


Mark 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."


Mark 10:36 "And he said unto them, What would ye that I should do for you?"


Mark 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."


Mark 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?"


Mark 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:"


Mark 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."


Mark 10:41 "And when the ten heard [it], they began to be much displeased with James and John."


Mark 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."


Mark 10:43 "But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your minister:"


Mark 10:44 "And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all."


Mark 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."


Mark 10:46 "And they came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho with his disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimeus, the son of Timeus, sat by the highway side begging."


Mark 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."


Mark 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."


Mark 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."


Mark 10:50 "And he, casting away his garment, rose, and came to Jesus."


Mark 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."


Mark 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."



Mark 11



Mark Chapter 11

 


Mark 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,"


Mark 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]."


Mark 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."


Mark 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."


Mark 11:5 "And certain of them that stood there said unto them, What do ye, loosing the colt?"


Mark 11:6 "And they said unto them even as Jesus had commanded: and they let them go."


Mark 11:7 "And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments on him; and he sat upon him."


Mark 11:8 "And many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down branches off the trees, and strewed [them] in the way."


Mark 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:"


Mark 11:10 "Blessed [be] the kingdom of our father David, that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest."


Mark 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."


Mark 11:12 "And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry:"


Mark 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]."


Mark 11:14 "And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard [it]."


Mark 11:15 "And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves;"


Mark 11:16 "And would not suffer that any man should carry [any] vessel through the temple."


Mark 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."

 


Mark 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."


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


Mark 11:20 "And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots."

 

Mark 11:21 "And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away."


Mark 11:22 "And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God."


Mark 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."


Mark 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]."


Mark 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."


Mark 11:26 "But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses."


Mark 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,"


Mark 11:28 "And say unto him, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority to do these things?"


Mark 11:29-30 "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." "The baptism of John, was [it] from heaven, or of men? answer me."


Mark 11:31 "And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did ye not believe him?"


Mark 11:32 "But if we shall say, Of men; they feared the people: for all [men] counted John, that he was a prophet indeed."


Mark 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."



Mark 12



Mark Chapter 12

 


Mark 12:1 "And he began to speak unto them by parables. A [certain] man planted a vineyard, and set a hedge about [it], and digged [a place for] the winevat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country."


Mark 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."

Mark 12:3 "And they caught [him], and beat him, and sent [him] away empty."


Mark 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."


Mark 12:5 "And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many others; beating some, and killing some."


Mark 12:6 "Having yet therefore one son, his well-beloved, he sent him also last unto them, saying, They will reverence my son."


Mark 12:7 "But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be ours."


Mark 12:8 "And they took him, and killed [him], and cast [him] out of the vineyard."


Mark 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."


Mark 12:10 "And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner:"


Mark 12:11 "This was the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes?"


Mark 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."


Mark 12:13 "And they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, to catch him in [his] words."


Mark 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?"


Mark 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]."


Mark 12:16 "And they brought [it]. And he saith unto them, Whose [is] this image and superscription? And they said unto him, Caesar's."


Mark 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 marveled at him."


Mark 12:18 "Then come unto him the Sadducees, which say there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying,"


Mark 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."


Mark 12:20-23 "Now there were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed." "And the second took her, and died, neither left he any seed: and the third likewise." "And the seven had her, and left no seed: last of all the woman died also." "In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife."


Mark 12:24 "And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?"


Mark 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."


Mark 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?"


Mark 12:27 "He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living: ye therefore do greatly err."


Mark 12:28 "And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all?"


Mark 12:29 "And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments [is], Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:"


Mark 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."


Mark 12:31 "And the second [is] like, [namely] this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these."


Mark 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:"


Mark 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] neighbor as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices."


Mark 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]."


Mark 12:35 "And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that Christ is the son of David?"


Mark 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."

Mark 12:37 "David therefore himself calleth him Lord; and whence is he [then] his son? And the common people heard him gladly."


Mark 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,"


Mark 12:39 "And the chief seats in the synagogues, and the uppermost rooms at feasts:"


Mark 12:40 "Which devour widows' houses, and for a pretense make long prayers: these shall receive greater damnation."


Mark 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."


Mark 12:42 "And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing."


Mark 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:"


Mark 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."



Mark 13



Mark Chapter 13


Mark 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]!"


Mark 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."


Mark 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,"


Mark 13:4 "Tell us, when shall these things be? and what [shall be] the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled?"


Mark 13:5 "And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any [man] deceive you:"


Mark 13:6 "For many shall come in my name, saying, I am [Christ]; and shall deceive many."


Mark 13:7 "And when ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars, be ye not troubled: for [such things] must needs be; but the end [shall] not [be] yet."


Mark 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."


Mark 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."


Mark 13:10 "And the gospel must first be published among all nations."


Mark 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."


Mark 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."


Mark 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."


Mark 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 Judea flee to the mountains:"


Mark 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:"


Mark 13:16 "And let him that is in the field not turn back again for to take up his garment."


Mark 13:17 "But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!"


Mark 13:18 "And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter."


Mark 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."


Mark 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."


Mark 13:21 "And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here [is] Christ; or, lo, [he is] there; believe [him] not:"


Mark 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."


Mark 13:23 "But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things."


Mark 13:24 "But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,"


Mark 13:25 "And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken."


Mark 13:26 "And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory."


Mark 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."


Mark 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:"


Mark 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."


Mark 13:30 "Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done."


Mark 13:31 "Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away."


Mark 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."


Mark 13:33 "Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is."


Mark 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."


Mark 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:"


Mark 13:36 "Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping."


Mark 13:37 "And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch."

 



Mark 14



Mark Chapter 14


Mark 14:1 "After two days was [the feast of] the Passover, and of unleavened bread: and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take him by craft, and put [him] to death."


Mark 14:2 "But they said, Not on the feast [day], lest there be an uproar of the people."


Mark 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."


Mark 14:4 "And there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made?"


Mark 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."


Mark 14:6-7 "And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? She hath wrought a good work on me." "For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good: but me ye have not always."


Mark 14:8 "She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand to anoint my body to the burying."


Mark 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."


Mark 14:10 "And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went unto the chief priests, to betray him unto them."


Mark 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."


Mark 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?"


Mark 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."


Mark 14:14 "And wheresoever he shall go in, say ye to the goodman of the house, The Master saith, Where is the guest chamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?"


Mark 14:15 "And he will shew you a large upper room furnished [and] prepared: there make ready for us."


Mark 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."

Mark 14:17 "And in the evening he cometh with the twelve."


Mark 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."


Mark 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?"


Mark 14:20 "And he answered and said unto them, [It is] one of the twelve, that dippeth with me in the dish."


Mark 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."


Mark 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."


Mark 14:23 "And he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave [it] to them: and they all drank of it."


Mark 14:24 "And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many."


Mark 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."


Mark 14:26 "And when they had sung a hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives."


Mark 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."


Mark 14:28 "But after that I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee."


Mark 14:29 "But Peter said unto him, Although all shall be offended, yet [will] not I."


Mark 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."


Mark 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."

Mark 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."


Mark 14:33 "And he taketh with him Peter and James and John, and began to be sore amazed, and to be very heavy;"


Mark 14:34 "And saith unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful unto death: tarry ye here, and watch."


Mark 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."


Mark 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."


Mark 14:37 "And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter, Simon, sleepest thou? couldest not thou watch one hour?"


Mark 14:38 "Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly [is] ready, but the flesh [is] weak."


Mark 14:39 "And again he went away, and prayed, and spake the same words."


Mark 14:40 "And when he returned, he found them asleep again, (for their eyes were heavy,) neither wist they what to answer him."


Mark 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."


Mark 14:42 "Rise up, let us go; lo, he that betrayeth me is at hand."


Mark 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."


Mark 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."


Mark 14:45 "And as soon as he was come, he goeth straightway to him, and saith, Master, master; and kissed him."


Mark 14:46 "And they laid their hands on him, and took him."


Mark 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."


Mark 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?"


Mark 14:49 "I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and ye took me not: but the scriptures must be fulfilled."


Mark 14:50 "And they all forsook him, and fled."


Mark 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:"


Mark 14:52 "And he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked."


Mark 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."


Mark 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."


Mark 14:55 "And the chief priests and all the council sought for witness against Jesus to put him to death; and found none."


Mark 14:56 "For many bare false witness against him, but their witness agreed not together."


Mark 14:57-58 "And there arose certain, and bare false witness against him, saying," "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."


Mark 14:59-60 "But neither so did their witness agree together." "And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing? what [is it which] these witness against thee?"


Mark 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?"


Mark 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."


Mark 14:63 "Then the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What need we any further witnesses?"


Mark 14:64 "Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye? And they all condemned him to be guilty of death."


Mark 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."


Mark 14:66 "And as Peter was beneath in the palace, there cometh one of the maids of the high priest:"


Mark 14:67 "And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked upon him, and said, And thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth."


Mark 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."


Mark 14:69-70 "And a maid saw him again, and began to say to them that stood by, This is [one] of them." "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 Galilean, and thy speech agreeth [thereto]."


Mark 14:71 "But he began to curse and to swear, [saying], I know not this man of whom ye speak."


Mark 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."



Mark 15



Mark Chapter 15


Mark 15:1 And straightway in the morning the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council, and bound Jesus, and carried [him] away, and delivered [him] to Pilate."


Mark 15:2 "And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answering said unto him, Thou sayest [it]."


Mark 15:3 "And the chief priests accused him of many things: but he answered nothing."


Mark 15:4 "And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things they witness against thee."


Mark 15:5 "But Jesus yet answered nothing; so that Pilate marveled."


Mark 15:6 "Now at [that] feast he released unto them one prisoner, whomsoever they desired."


Mark 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."


Mark 15:8-9 "And the multitude crying aloud began to desire [him to do] as he had ever done unto them." "But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews?"


Mark 15:10 "For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy."


Mark 15:11 "But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them."


Mark 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?"


Mark 15:13 "And they cried out again, Crucify him."


Mark 15:14 "Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? And they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him."


Mark 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."


Mark 15:16 "And the soldiers led him away into the hall, called Praetorium; and they call together the whole band."

Mark 15:18 "And began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews!"


Mark 15:19 "And they smote him on the head with a reed, and did spit upon him, and bowing [their] knees worshipped him."


Mark 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."


Mark 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."


Mark 15:22 "And they bring him unto the place Golgotha, which is, being interpreted, The place of a skull."


Mark 15:23 "And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh: but he received [it] not."


Mark 15:24 "And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, casting lots upon them, what every man should take."


Mark 15:25 "And it was the third hour, and they crucified him."


Mark 15:26 "And the superscription of his accusation was written over, THE KING OF THE JEWS."


Mark 15:27 "And with him they crucify two thieves; the one on his right hand, and the other on his left."


Mark 15:28 "And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was numbered with the transgressors."


Mark 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,"


Mark 15:30 "Save thyself, and come down from the cross."


Mark 15:31 "Likewise also the chief priests mocking said among themselves with the scribes, He saved others; himself he cannot save."


Mark 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."


Mark 15:33 "And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour."


Mark 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?"


Mark 15:35 "And some of them that stood by, when they heard [it], said, Behold, he calleth Elijah."


Mark 15:36 "And one ran and filled a sponge full of vinegar, and put [it] on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone; let us see whether Elijah will come to take him down."


Mark 15:37 "And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost."


Mark 15:38 "And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom."


Mark 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."


Mark 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;"


Mark 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."


Mark 15:42 "And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath,"


Mark 15:43 "Joseph of Arimathea, an honorable counsellor, which also waited for the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly unto Pilate, and craved the body of Jesus."


Mark 15:44 "And Pilate marveled if he were already dead: and calling [unto him] the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while dead."


Mark 15:45 "And when he knew [it] of the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph."


Mark 15:46 "And he bought fine linen, and took him down, and wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a sepulcher which was hewn out of a rock, and rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulcher."

Mark 16



Mark Chapter 16


Mark 16:1 "And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the [mother] of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him."


Mark 16:2 "And very early in the morning the first [day] of the week, they came unto the sepulcher at the rising of the sun."


Mark 16:3 "And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulcher?"


Mark 16:4 "And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great."


Mark 16:5 "And entering into the sepulcher, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted."

 

Mark 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."


Mark 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."


Mark 16:8 "And they went out quickly, and fled from the sepulcher; for they trembled and were amazed: neither said they any thing to any [man]; for they were afraid."


Mark 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."
