1729 by Daniel Mace
Mar 1:1 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ the son of God.
Mar 1:2 It is written in the prophet, "behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.
Mar 1:3 The voice of one crying in the wilderness, prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight."
Mar 1:4 accordingly, John baptized in the desart, and preach'd the baptism of repentance, for the remission of sins.
Mar 1:5 all Judea, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, went out to meet him, and having confess'd their sins, he baptized them in the river Jordan.
Mar 1:6 now John was clothed with camels hair, with a leathern girdle about his waist: and his food was locusts and wild honey.
Mar 1:7 among other things he said, there comes one after me, who is superiour to me, I am not worthy to stoop down and untie his shoes.
Mar 1:8 I indeed have baptized you with water, but he shall baptize you with the effusion of the holy Ghost.
Mar 1:9 At that time Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John in Jordan.
Mar 1:10 and as soon as he was got out of the water, he saw the heavens open, and the spirit lighting upon him, like a dove.
Mar 1:11 when this voice from heaven was heard, "thou art my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased."
Mar 1:12 presently after the spirit convey'd him into the desart.
Mar 1:13 where he continued forty days, being tempted by Satan: and when he was among the wild beasts, angels ministred unto him.
Mar 1:14 But after John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, spreading the good news of the kingdom of the Messiah.
Mar 1:15 "the time, said he, is accomplish'd, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel."
Mar 1:16 Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon, and Andrew his brother, casting their net into the sea:
Mar 1:17 (for they were fishers) and Jesus said to them, follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.
Mar 1:18 immediately they quitted their nets, and followed him.
Mar 1:19 when he had gone a little further, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the bark mending their nets. whereupon he called them:
Mar 1:20 and they left their father Zebedee in the ship with the people he had hired, and went after him.
Mar 1:21 As soon as they were come to Capernaum, he entred into the synagogue, and it being the sabbath, instructed them.
Mar 1:22 and they were astonished at his manner of preaching: for he spoke with an air of authority, and not as the Scribes.
Mar 1:23 now there was in their synagogue a demoniack, who cried out, ah,
Mar 1:24 what have we to do with thee, Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to torment us? I know thee who thou art, the holy one of God.
Mar 1:25 and Jesus threatned him, be mute, said he, and come out.
Mar 1:26 and when the unclean spirit had thrown him into convulsions, with a loud cry, he came out of him.
Mar 1:27 at which they were all so amazed, that they ask'd one another, what's the meaning of all this? what new doctrine is here? for he commands with authority even the unclean spirits, and they obey him.
Mar 1:28 upon this his fame immediately spread abroad over all the region of Galilee.
Mar 1:29 As soon as they were come out of the synagogue, they went with James and John into the house of Simon and Andrew,
Mar 1:30 where Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever, who presently acquainted Jesus with it.
Mar 1:31 and he came, and taking her by the hand, lift her up; upon which the fever immediately left her, and she served them at table.
Mar 1:32 In the evening, when the sun was set, they brought to him many diseased, and several demoniacks.
Mar 1:33 the whole town being assembled before the door.
Mar 1:34 and he healed many that were variously affected with diseases, and cast out many demons, not allowing them to say that they knew him.
Mar 1:35 On the morrow rising up, while it was yet dark, he went out, and retired into a solitary place, where he prayed.
Mar 1:36 Simon, and the rest of his company, followed after him.
Mar 1:37 and when they had found him, they said, the people are seeking for you.
Mar 1:38 and he said unto them, let us go into the neighbouring villages, that I may preach there likewise, for that was the design of my coming.
Mar 1:39 and he preached in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and cast out demons.
Mar 1:40 And there came a leper to him, who fell on his knees, and thus address'd him, "if you will, you can heal me."
Mar 1:41 Jesus then mov'd with compassion, held out his hand, and touching him, said, I will, be thou healed.
Mar 1:42 and while he was speaking, the leprosy left him in an instant, and he was cur'd.
Mar 1:43 immediately Jesus sent him away, severely charging him, have a care,
Mar 1:44 said he, how you take the least notice of this to any man: but go, show your self to the priest, and offer for your cure what Moses commanded, that this may serve as a testimony against them.
Mar 1:45 but as soon as he was gone, he began freely to talk of it, and blazed it about every where, so that Jesus could not go publickly into the city any more, but stay'd in the out parts, which were not much frequented, where people came to him from every quarter.
Mar 2:1 Some time after he returned to Capernaum; upon the rumour that he was there,
Mar 2:2 so great a company assembled, that there was no room for them in the house, nor even about the door: and he preached the word unto them.
Mar 2:3 then they came and presented to him a paralytic, who had four men to carry him.
Mar 2:4 who finding it impossible to come nigh Him because of the press, uncovered the roof where He was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the cradle wherein the paralytic lay.
Mar 2:5 Jesus perceiving their faith, said to the sick of the palsy, son, thy sins are forgiven.
Mar 2:6 but there were certain of the Scribes sitting there, who were dissatisfied in their own minds, and said to themselves,
Mar 2:7 why doth this man speak such blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God?
Mar 2:8 and immediately Jesus perceiving by his spirit, that they made these secret reflections, said, why do you entertain such suggestions?
Mar 2:9 is it not as easy to say to the paralytic, thy sins are forgiven: as to say, arise, and take up your bed and walk?
Mar 2:10 however, to let you see that the son of man has power on earth to forgive sins, rise, said he, to the sick of the palsy,
Mar 2:11 'tis I command you, take up thy bed, and go to your home.
Mar 2:12 instantly he arose, took up the bed, and went out in the presence of them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, we never saw any thing like this.
Mar 2:13 Another time as he was by the sea-side, the people came all crowding to him, and he instructed them.
Mar 2:14 as he passed along, he saw Levi the son of Alpheus, sitting at the custom-house, and said to him, follow me. accordingly he arose and followed him.
Mar 2:15 at length as Jesus sat at table in Levi's house, several publicans and loose people sat down likewise in company with Jesus, and his disciples: for a good number of them had followed him.
Mar 2:16 when the Scribes and Pharisees saw him eating with such a crew, they ask'd his disciples, what's the meaning that he is so familiar with people of such a wretched character?
Mar 2:17 Jesus hearing this, said to them, they that are in health, have no need of a physician, but they that are sick: I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners.
Mar 2:18 It was customary for the Pharisees, and the disciples of John, to fast; they came therefore and ask'd him, why do John's disciples, and the Pharisees fast so frequently, and not your disciples?
Mar 2:19 Jesus answered, can the bridemen fast, while the bridegroom is with them? as long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.
Mar 2:20 but the time will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast.
Mar 2:21 indeed no man ever sews a piece of new cloth on an old garment: because the new piece that is patch'd on, draws the old, and rends it still worse.
Mar 2:22 so no man pours new wine into old skins, for that would burst them, and then both would be lost: but new wine must be put into new skins.
Mar 2:23 Another time, as he was going through the corn-fields on the sabbath-day, his disciples as they pass'd along began to pluck the ears of corn.
Mar 2:24 upon which the Pharisees said to him, pray observe how they trespass on the sabbath-day.
Mar 2:25 but he replied, have ye never read what David, and the rest of the company did, when they were press'd with hunger?
Mar 2:26 how he went into the house of God in the days of Abiathar, who was afterwards high-priest, and did eat the shew-bread, giving some of it likewise to the company, though the law allow'd no body to eat of it but the priests.
Mar 2:27 adding this observation, "the sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath."
Mar 2:28 therefore the son of man has a power of dispensing with the law of the sabbath.
Mar 3:1 Another time he entred into the synagogue, when a man was there who had a withered hand.
Mar 3:2 the Pharisees watched Jesus, to see if he would heal him on the sabbath-day, that so they might accuse him.
Mar 3:3 he said then to the man who had the withered hand, rise and stand there in the midst.
Mar 3:4 and he ask'd them, is it allowed to do good, or to do mischief on the sabbath-days? to save life, or to kill? but they were very silent.
Mar 3:5 then he looking with indignation at those about him, being concern'd at their disingenuous perverse temper, he said to the man, stretch out your hand, which he did, and his hand become sound.
Mar 3:6 upon this the Pharisees withdrew, and immediately enter'd into a conspiracy with the Herodians to take away his life.
Mar 3:7 But Jesus retired with his disciples towards the sea: where a great multitude followed him from Galilee, from Judea,
Mar 3:8 from Jerusalem, and from Idumea, and the territory about Jordan, a considerable number of the inhabitants about Tyre and Sidon having heard of his great actions, came likewise to meet him.
Mar 3:9 wherefore, to avoid the inconveniences of the crowd, he order'd his disciples to get a small vessel ready to attend him.
Mar 3:10 for having healed abundance of people, all that were afflicted with any grievous distemper pressed upon him to touch him.
Mar 3:11 and when the impure spirits saw him, they threw themselves at his feet, crying out, "thou art the son of God."
Mar 3:12 but he strictly charged them, not to make him known.
Mar 3:13 At length he went up a mountain, and having appointed a select company to attend him, they came to him.
Mar 3:14 then he chose twelve of them to be near his person, and afterwards to be gospel-missionaries.
Mar 3:15 with full power to heal diseases, and dispossess demons.
Mar 3:16 these were Simon, whom he sirnam'd Peter, James the son of Zebedee,
Mar 3:17 and John the brother of James, (whom he had named Boanerges, that is to say, sons of thunder.)
Mar 3:18 Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James the son of Alpheus, Thaddeus, Simon the Canaanite,
Mar 3:19 and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him.
Mar 3:20 After this they went into an house, and the crowd press'd again upon them, so as to hinder them from taking their meal.
Mar 3:21 when his relations heard of this, they went to his relief, for it was said, he fainted away.
Mar 3:22 Some Scribes, who were come from Jerusalem, said, he is confederate with Beelzebub, the prince of the demons enables him to dispossess demons.
Mar 3:23 but calling them to him, he said by way of similitude, how can satan dispossess satan?
Mar 3:24 if a kingdom be divided against it self, that kingdom cannot last.
Mar 3:25 if a family be divided against it self, it is impossible for it to subsist.
Mar 3:26 so if satan rise up in opposition to his own interest, his power cannot subsist, but must entirely cease.
Mar 3:27 no one can enter into a strong man's house, and plunder his goods, unless the man be first secur'd.
Mar 3:28 I declare unto you, all the sins which men may commit, and whatsoever blasphemies they may utter, may be forgiven them.
Mar 3:29 but he that shall blaspheme against the holy Ghost, shall never be pardoned, but shall be obnoxious to eternal punishment.
Mar 3:30 this was in answer to their saying, he was influenc'd by an impure spirit.
Mar 3:31 In the mean time his brothers and his mother came there, and not being able to get within hearing,
Mar 3:32 for the crowd about him, they sent him word to come to them. and when they told him, your mother and brothers and sisters are here without enquiring for you,
Mar 3:33 He answer'd, who is my mother? who are my brothers?
Mar 3:34 and casting his eyes round the company, there, said he, are my mother and my brothers.
Mar 3:35 for he that does the will of God, he is my brother and sister and mother.
Mar 4:1 He began again to teach by the sea-side: but there was so great a crowd gathered about him, that he was oblig'd to go into a ship, where he sat down, and stay'd on board while the people stood on the shore.
Mar 4:2 then he addressed himself to them in many parables, and thus began his instructions.
Mar 4:3 give your attention to what I say, a sower went out to sow: as he sowed,
Mar 4:4 some of the seed happened to fall by the wayside, which the birds light upon, and devoured.
Mar 4:5 some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth, and it soon sprang up, for want of a sufficient depth of earth.
Mar 4:6 but when the sun was up, it was scorched, and for want of root, withered away.
Mar 4:7 some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choaked it, so that it yielded no fruit.
Mar 4:8 but part of it fell on good ground, which sprang up, and grew so fruitful, that some grains produced thirty, others sixty, and some an hundred.
Mar 4:9 he that hath ears to hear, said he, let him hear.
Mar 4:10 And when he was in private, the twelve, and some of his disciples asked him the meaning of the parable.
Mar 4:11 he answered, you are admitted into the secret of the gospel-dispensation: but to unbelievers every thing is couch'd in parables; because,
Mar 4:12 tho' they see, they will not perceive, and tho' they hear they will not understand: as if they were afraid of parting with their vices, in order to be pardoned.
Mar 4:13 but if, said he, you don't comprehend this easy parable, how can ye understand any of the rest?
Mar 4:14 the sower is he that soweth the word.
Mar 4:15 they who receiv'd seed by the wayside, are those in whom the word is sown, who no sooner have heard it, but satan comes and takes away the word that was sown in their hearts.
Mar 4:16 in like manner, they who receive seed on stony-ground, are such as upon hearing the word, do immediately receive it with joy.
Mar 4:17 but having no root at the bottom, they are only occasional professors, for if they meet with any trouble or persecution upon account of the word, immediately they revolt.
Mar 4:18 as for those, who receive seed as among thorns: they are such as hear the word.
Mar 4:19 but the cares of this life, the deceitful love of riches, and a crowd of different passions, stifle the word, and it becomes unfruitful.
Mar 4:20 they who receive seed as on good ground, are such as hear the word and entertain it, and bring forth fruit, some in one degree, and some in another.
Mar 4:21 Again he said, is a lamp ever brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? or to be set on a stand?
Mar 4:22 for there is nothing conceal'd but what shall be made manifest: nor was any thing kept secret, but in order to be divulged.
Mar 4:23 if any man have ears to hear, let him hear.
Mar 4:24 And consider, said he, how you hear; for in proportion as you weigh what is communicated to you, new light shall be given:
Mar 4:25 for he that makes use of what he has shall have more, but he that does not, shall be stript of what he has.
Mar 4:26 Again, he said, the state of the gospel is like that of the grain, which a man sows in his land:
Mar 4:27 however he takes his repose by night, or is employ'd by day, the grain shoots up and grows without his inspection.
Mar 4:28 for the earth spontaneously produces, first the blade, then the ear, after that the grain of corn in the ear.
Mar 4:29 but as soon as the fruit is ripe, the sickle is applied, because the harvest is come.
Mar 4:30 Again he said, to what shall we compare the state of the gospel? or by what parable shall we represent it?
Mar 4:31 it is like a grain of mustard-seed, which when sown in the earth, is less than any other grain that is sown there.
Mar 4:32 but after it is sown, it grows up, and becometh larger than other plants of the pulse kind, and shooteth out its branches so high, that the fowls of the air may lodge under its shadow.
Mar 4:33 Thus he instructed them by such a variety of parables as were adapted to their capacity.
Mar 4:34 his stile in publick was figurative, but he explain'd every thing to his disciples in private.
Mar 4:35 The same day in the evening, he said to them, let us cross over to the other side of the lake.
Mar 4:36 when they had dismiss'd the people, the bark he was in, set sail, in company with other small barks.
Mar 4:37 at length a violent storm ensued, and the waves beat into the ship, that it began to fill,
Mar 4:38 whilst Jesus was at the stern, asleep on a pillow: upon which they awak'd him, crying out, master, have you so little concern to let us sink? then he rose,
Mar 4:39 and rebuked the wind, hush, said he, and be still. immediately the wind subsides, and a settled calm ensued.
Mar 4:40 why, said he, are ye so frighted? are ye still so void of faith?
Mar 4:41 and they were exceedingly afraid, and said to one another, who can this be, that even the wind and the sea obey him?
Mar 5:1 They arrived then to the other side of the sea, in the country of the Gadarenes.
Mar 5:2 and as soon as Jesus was come out of the ship, he met a demoniack, who came from among the tombs, where he haunted,
Mar 5:3 no man being able to confine him, no not with chains:
Mar 5:4 for having been often bound with fetters and chains, he had wrench'd his chains, and broke his fetters, so that no body could tame him.
Mar 5:5 night and day he was in the mountains, howling among the tombs, and hacking his flesh with flints.
Mar 5:6 but when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and prostrated himself before him.
Mar 5:7 and crying with a loud voice, said, "what injury have I done you, Jesus, thou son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, not to torment me."
Mar 5:8 (for Jesus had said to him, "come out of the man, thou impure spirit.")
Mar 5:9 and Jesus asked him, what is thy name? my name is legion, answered he: for we are many.
Mar 5:10 and he was very importunate with Jesus not to drive them away from that country.
Mar 5:11 now there was a great herd of swine feeding upon the mountain;
Mar 5:12 and all the demons intreated him, saying, "send us to the swine, that we may enter into them."
Mar 5:13 Jesus immediately gave them leave. and the impure spirits quitting the possessed, entred into the swine, and the whole herd, which were about two thousand, ran down a precipice into the sea, and were there stifled.
Mar 5:14 then they that fed the swine fled, and told the news to town and country. and they went out to see what had been done.
Mar 5:15 when they were come to Jesus, and saw him that had been possessed with the legion of demons, sitting in his clothes, and in his right mind, they were afraid.
Mar 5:16 and when the eye-witnesses had related what had pass'd with respect to the demoniack, and to the swine:
Mar 5:17 they intreated him to withdraw from their territories.
Mar 5:18 as he was embarking, the late demoniack desired, that he might be with Jesus.
Mar 5:19 however, Jesus refused him, and said, go home to thy friends, and tell them what great things the Lord hath done for thee, and how he hath had compassion on thee.
Mar 5:20 and he departed, and published in Decapolis, what Jesus had done for him: and all were filled with admiration.
Mar 5:21 When Jesus had repassed in the vessel to the other side, a crowd of people gathered about him, while he was nigh the sea.
Mar 5:22 when one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name, came, and as soon as he saw him, fell at his feet,
Mar 5:23 and earnestly intreated him, saying, "my little daughter is at the last extremity, pray come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be healed, and live."
Mar 5:24 so Jesus went with him, attended by a great crowd, that press'd about him.
Mar 5:25 Now there was a woman, who had been affected with an hemorrhage twelve years:
Mar 5:26 having suffered much from several physicians, she had spent all her fortune, and instead of being any thing the better, she rather grew worse.
Mar 5:27 but having heard of Jesus; she came behind him in the crowd, and touched his garment.
Mar 5:28 for said she, if I do but touch his clothes, I shall be cured.
Mar 5:29 and immediately the source of her disorder was dried up: and she sensibly perceived she was healed of that indisposition.
Mar 5:30 Jesus conscious of the influence he had exerted, immediately turned towards the crowd, and said, who touched my clothes?
Mar 5:31 his disciples replied, you see the multitude press about you, and do you ask, who touched you?
Mar 5:32 however, he looked about to see who it was.
Mar 5:33 then the woman, conscious of what had been effected in her, came trembling with fear, and falling down before him, confess'd the whole truth.
Mar 5:34 and he said to her, daughter, thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace, entirely freed from your indisposition.
Mar 5:35 Before he had done speaking, messengers came from the ruler of the synagogue's house, who said, "your daughter is dead, why do you give the master any further trouble?"
Mar 5:36 Jesus, upon hearing that, immediately said to the ruler of the synagogue, "be not afraid, only believe."
Mar 5:37 and he suffered no man to follow him, except Peter, and James, and John the brother of James:
Mar 5:38 being come to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and seeing a tumultuous crowd of people weeping and howling,
Mar 5:39 at his going in he said to them, what's the meaning of this uproar, what do you weep for? the damsel is not dead, but asleep.
Mar 5:40 upon which they fell a laughing: however, having turned them all out, and taking with him the father and the mother of the damsel, and those that had accompany'd him, he entred in where the damsel was lying.
Mar 5:41 then taking her hand, he said to her, Talitha cumi, that is to say, damsel, arise, 'tis I command you.
Mar 5:42 immediately the damsel arose, and walked, for she was twelve years of age: and they were struck with astonishment.
Mar 5:43 but he strictly charged them not to mention it to any one, and order'd something should be given her to eat.
Mar 6:1 Jesus leaving that place, went into his own country, attended by his disciples.
Mar 6:2 when the sabbath was come, he preach'd in the synagogue, to the great astonishment of many, who upon hearing his discourse, said, how came he by all this? what strange endowment of knowledge is this, that he should work such miracles?
Mar 6:3 is not he the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James and Joses, of Juda and Simon? are not these his sisters, who are here with us? and they were scandalized at him.
Mar 6:4 but Jesus said to him, a prophet is never despis'd, except in his own country, among his own kindred, and in his own family:
Mar 6:5 so that excepting the cure of a few sick by the imposition of hands, he would not work any miracle there,
Mar 6:6 they were so marvellously incredulous. so that He went all about to teach in the neighbouring villages.
Mar 6:7 Now having called the twelve, he sent them out by two and two, giving them power to exorcize spirits:
Mar 6:8 he order'd them to take nothing for their journey, but a single staff, no scrip, no bread, nor money in their purse:
Mar 6:9 to have but one pair of shoes, and but one coat.
Mar 6:10 whatever house you enter into, said he, there abide, till you leave the place.
Mar 6:11 wherever they shall refuse to entertain you, or to hear you, at your departure shake off the dust of your feet, as a testimonial against them. I assure you, the people of Sodom and Gomorrha shall be treated with less severity in the day of judgment, than that city.
Mar 6:12 then they departed, and call'd upon all to repent.
Mar 6:13 they dispossess'd a great number of demons. many, that were sick, they anointed with oil, and restor'd their health.
Mar 6:14 In the mean time king Herod heard of Jesus, whose name was now celebrated, and he said, John the Baptist is risen from the dead, no wonder then that he works miracles.
Mar 6:15 others said, 'tis Elias. others, 'tis a prophet, or one equal to a prophet.
Mar 6:16 but Herod, from what he had heard, said, 'tis John himself, whom I caused to be beheaded, who is risen from the dead.
Mar 6:17 for Herod had given orders to seize John, and had confin'd him in prison, to gratify Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, whom he had married;
Mar 6:18 upon which John told him, "it is not lawful for you to have your brother's wife."
Mar 6:19 which Herodias resented, and form'd a design against his life, but could not execute it;
Mar 6:20 because Herod had a respect for John, knowing him to be a very honest good man, and therefore protected him; having reform'd many things upon his remonstrances, which he us'd to receive very graciously.
Mar 6:21 however, a favourable opportunity happen'd for her, upon Herod's making an entertainment the birth-night, for all the great officers of the court, and army, and persons of the first distinction in Galilee.
Mar 6:22 for Herodias made her appearance there, and danc'd with such an engaging air in the eye of Herod, as well as of all the company, that the king thus addrest himself to the young lady, "ask of me whatever you please, and it shall be granted."
Mar 6:23 nay, he ratified his promise with an oath, "I will give you whatever you require, said he, tho' it be even the half of my kingdom."
Mar 6:24 then she withdrew, and said to her mother, what shall I ask? the head of John the Baptist, said she.
Mar 6:25 upon which she instantly fled to the king, and said, I desire to have John the Baptist's head brought hither immediately in a charger.
Mar 6:26 at this the king was exceedingly concern'd; however, in regard to his oath, and to those who were at table with him, he would not refuse her;
Mar 6:27 but immediately dispatch'd the proper officer with orders to bring the head of John the Baptist.
Mar 6:28 accordingly he went, and beheaded him in the prison, and bringing the head in a charger, he presented it to the young lady, who gave it to her mother:
Mar 6:29 of which John's disciples being inform'd, they came to fetch his corps, which they laid in a sepulchre.
Mar 6:30 Now the apostles met together in a body before Jesus, and gave him a full account, both of what they had done, and what they had taught.
Mar 6:31 then Jesus said to them, come, let us retire privately to some place of solitude, to repose your selves a while. for such a crowd of people were continually coming and going, that they had not even time to eat.
Mar 6:32 so they privately set sail for the desart (of Bethsaida.)
Mar 6:33 but the people saw them embark, and many perceiving where they were bound, they ran thither a foot from all parts: and arrived at the place, before the passengers were come.
Mar 6:34 so that when Jesus landed, he found there a numerous assembly: which rais'd his compassion, because they were like so many sheep straggling without a pastor. whereupon he gave them various instructions.
Mar 6:35 but as the day was far advanc'd, his disciples came to him, and said, this is a desart place, and it is now late.
Mar 6:36 dismiss the company, that they may go to the neighbouring farms and villages to buy provisions, for they have nothing to eat.
Mar 6:37 Jesus replied, do you your selves give them something to eat. shall we go then, said they, to purchase bread, to the value of two hundred denarii, for them to eat?
Mar 6:38 go see, said he, how many loaves you have: and having examin'd, they told him, five, and two fishes.
Mar 6:39 then he order'd the people to sit down in distinct companies upon the green grass.
Mar 6:40 and they sat down in several divisions, some consisting of an hundred, and some of fifty.
Mar 6:41 Jesus then having taken the five loaves and the two fishes, look'd up to heaven and gave thanks; then breaking the loaves, he gave them to his disciples to distribute among the people: for whom he likewise divided the two fishes.
Mar 6:42 so that they all eat a sufficient share,
Mar 6:43 though the fragments of bread they took up, with what remain'd of the fishes, amounted to twelve baskets full;
Mar 6:44 the company that were entertain'd being about five thousand men.
Mar 6:45 Soon after Jesus obliged his disciples to embark for Bethsaida, on the opposite shore, while he was dismissing the people.
Mar 6:46 and when they had taken their leave, he retired to a mountain to pray.
Mar 6:47 It was now late in the evening, and the bark in full sea, when Jesus, who was ashore all alone,
Mar 6:48 perceived his disciples had much ado to bear up against the wind, which was contrary; about the fourth watch of the night, he came up, and would have pass'd by them.
Mar 6:49 when they saw him walking upon the sea, they thought it was an apparition,
Mar 6:50 for they all saw him, and were greatly terrified. but at the instant Jesus spoke to them, and said, take courage, it is I, don't be afraid.
Mar 6:51 and as soon as he was got aboard, the wind ceased; which still encreas'd their astonishment and admiration:
Mar 6:52 for they were so stupid, they did not comprehend the miracle of the loaves.
Mar 6:53 Being got to the other side of the lake, they came to the country of Gennasereth, where they landed.
Mar 6:54 no sooner were they ashore, but the people, who presently perceiv'd it was Jesus,
Mar 6:55 came flocking from all quarters, carrying their sick on their beds to the places where they heard he was:
Mar 6:56 and to whatever cities, towns, or villages he went, they expos'd the sick in the publick streets, entreating him, they might but touch the border of his garment; for as many as did so, were recover'd.
Mar 7:1 The Pharisees, and certain Scribes from Jerusalem, came in a body to Jesus;
Mar 7:2 when observing that some of his disciples were eating with profane hands, that is, without having wash'd them, they found fault.
Mar 7:3 for the Pharisees, and the Jews in general, in pursuance of their antient traditions, never eat till they have wash'd their hands up to their elbows.
Mar 7:4 nay, when they have been at any publick place, they never eat till they have washed. they observe besides several traditions, such as the washing of cups, pots, brass vessels, and beds.
Mar 7:5 the Pharisees, and Scribes therefore ask'd Jesus, why don't your disciples observe the tradition of the antients? why do they take their meals without washing their hands?
Mar 7:6 Jesus answered, to such hypocrites as you may well be applied those words of the prophet Esaias, "this people honour me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
Mar 7:7 in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the institutions of men."
Mar 7:8 for laying aside what is of divine appointment, you stick to their human traditions, about the washing of pots, and cups, and many other the like practices.
Mar 7:9 You are in the right, said he, to abolish the laws of God, to make way for such traditions.
Mar 7:10 Moses said, "honour thy father and thy mother;" and, if any one speak contemptibly of his father, or his mother, let him be put to death.
Mar 7:11 but your doctrine is this, if any one shall tell his father or his mother, that what he could bestow for their relief, is corban, that is, to be given to the temple;
Mar 7:12 you discharge him from the obligation of doing any thing for his father or his mother.
Mar 7:13 by such traditions, and such a number of practices, as you have settled, the word of God is stript of all its authority.
Mar 7:14 Then Jesus having called all the people to him, said, attend every one of you, and understand.
Mar 7:15 there is nothing from without, that entring into a man can defile him: but that which originally proceeds from the man, is what defiles him.
Mar 7:16 he that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Mar 7:17 When he withdrew from the people into the house, his disciples ask'd him the meaning of that maxim.
Mar 7:18 and he said, are you likewise so void of understanding? don't you perceive that what passes from without into a man cannot defile him?
Mar 7:19 because that does not enter into his heart, but into the belly, whence it is discharg'd, the purest part of the food being left for nutrition.
Mar 7:20 but, said he, that which proceeds from a man, is what defiles him:
Mar 7:21 for from within, from the heart of man proceed wicked designs, adulteries, fornications, murders; thefts,
Mar 7:22 avarice, malice, fraud, impudence, envy, scandal, pride, vanity.
Mar 7:23 all these vices come from within, and are what defile the man.
Mar 7:24 Jesus leaving that place, went towards the frontiers of Tyre and Sidon; and entring into a house, desired to let nobody know it; but he could not be conceal'd.
Mar 7:25 for a woman, whose child was possess'd with an impure spirit, having heard of him, found him out, and throwing herself at his feet,
Mar 7:26 entreated him to force the demon out of her daughter; now the woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation.
Mar 7:27 Jesus therefore said to her, let the children first be satisfy'd; for it would not be decent to take the children's bread, and throw it to puppys.
Mar 7:28 she answer'd, true, Lord, yet puppys eat of the crumbs, which children drop under the table.
Mar 7:29 then said Jesus to her, for this expression, go thy way, the demon has left your daughter.
Mar 7:30 accordingly she went home, where she found that the demon was indeed gone out of her daughter, and she was lying on the bed.
Mar 7:31 Jesus then quitting the confines of Tyre and Sidon, and passing to the confines of Decapolis, came back to the sea of Gallilee.
Mar 7:32 and they presented to him a deaf man, that had an impediment in his speech, desiring he would lay his hands upon him.
Mar 7:33 Jesus taking him aside from the crowd, spit upon his fingers, and applied them to the ears and to the tongue of the deaf man.
Mar 7:34 then looking up to heaven, with a sigh, he said, Ephphata, that is, be open:
Mar 7:35 and his Ears were instantly opened, his tongue was loosen'd, and he spoke freely.
Mar 7:36 and Jesus charg'd them not to mention it to any one; but the more be enjoin'd them, the more they publish'd it.
Mar 7:37 for they were transported with admiration, and said, all his actions are beneficent! he gives hearing to the deaf, and speech to the dumb.
Mar 8:1 At that time, as the company were very numerous, and had nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples, and said,
Mar 8:2 I am concern'd for this people, they have been with me now three days without having had any thing to eat.
Mar 8:3 if I send them home fasting, they will faint by the way: for some of them are come very far.
Mar 8:4 his disciples answer'd, how is it possible here in the desart to furnish bread enough for all this company?
Mar 8:5 he ask'd them, how many loaves have ye?
Mar 8:6 seven, said they. then he order'd the people to sit down on the ground: and taking the seven loaves, he gave thanks, then broke them and gave them to his disciples to distribute among the people, which they accordingly did.
Mar 8:7 and there being a few small fishes, he gave thanks, and order'd them to be distributed.
Mar 8:8 so they all eat and were satisfied, the broken meat that was left amounting to seven baskets.
Mar 8:9 now they that had eaten were four thousand: and then he dismissed them.
Mar 8:10 Soon after he and his disciples embark'd, and arrived in the district of Dalmanutha.
Mar 8:11 there the Pharisees being come, they began to dispute with him, and to try him, desir'd he would work some miracle in the sky.
Mar 8:12 but Jesus fetching a deep sigh, said, why does this generation require a sign? I assure you, they shall have none.
Mar 8:13 then leaving them he went aboard again, and pass'd to the other side.
Mar 8:14 Now the disciples had forgot to take bread, and had but one loaf aboard with them.
Mar 8:15 as he was then directing them diligently to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod,
Mar 8:16 they said to one another, this is because we did not take bread: which Jesus perceiving,
Mar 8:17 said, why do you trouble your heads about your having no bread? are you yet so void of sense, and understanding? are your minds so blinded?
Mar 8:18 have you eyes, and yet don't see? have you ears, and yet not hear? have you lost your memory too?
Mar 8:19 when I divided the five loaves among five thousand people, how many baskets full of fragments did you take away? they answer'd, twelve.
Mar 8:20 and when I divided the seven loaves among four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments did you carry away? they answered, seven.
Mar 8:21 don't you yet, said he, comprehend my meaning?
Mar 8:22 Afterwards Jesus went to Bethsaida, where they presented to him a blind man, whom they entreated Jesus to touch.
Mar 8:23 then taking the blind man by the hand, he led him out of town, when applying his spittle to the man's eyes, and laying his hands upon him, he ask'd if he saw any thing.
Mar 8:24 so looking up, he said, I see men; for by their walking I distinguish them from trees.
Mar 8:25 then he put his hands upon his eyes, and made him look again. and his sight was so well recovered, he could see distinctly.
Mar 8:26 so he sent him home, with a charge not to go into the town, nor mention it to any body belonging to that place.
Mar 8:27 From thence Jesus went attended with his disciples to the villages of Cesarea Philippi. and ask'd them by the way, who do they say I am?
Mar 8:28 they answered, some say you are John the Baptist; others, Elias; and others, one of the prophets.
Mar 8:29 but who, said he, do you take me to be? Peter answered, you are the Messiah:
Mar 8:30 upon which he gave them a severe charge, not to say that of him to any man.
Mar 8:31 At length he began to inform them, that the son of man should suffer many indignities, be rejected by the chief priests, Scribes, and senators, be even put to death, and after three days should rise again.
Mar 8:32 and this he said in such an undisguised manner, that Peter took him aside, and pretended to reprimand him.
Mar 8:33 but Jesus return'd, and looking upon his disciples, he gave Peter this rebuke, be gone, thou adversary, your views are all worldly, regardless of what is divine.
Mar 8:34 Then addressing himself to the people, and his disciples, he said, he that desires to be under my conduct, let him renounce himself, and follow me.
Mar 8:35 for he that would save his life, shall lose it; and he that would lose his life out of love to me and the gospel, he shall save it.
Mar 8:36 what advantage is it for a man to gain the whole world with the loss of his life?
Mar 8:37 or what would not a man bestow to preserve himself?
Mar 8:38 whosoever therefore shall be asham'd of me, and of my doctrine in this degenerate and corrupted age, of him likewise shall the son of man be asham'd, when he shall come with the glory of his father, accompanied with holy angels.
Mar 9:1 I declare unto you, said he, that some of you here present shall not die, till they see the kingdom of the Messiah usher'd in with power.
Mar 9:2 Six days after Jesus took Peter, James and John, and accompanied them up a high mountain in private; and was transfigured in their presence.
Mar 9:3 his raiment was of an exceeding bright whiteness, like that of snow, and such as no fuller upon earth could imitate.
Mar 9:4 Moses and Elias likewise appear'd, and were in conference with Jesus.
Mar 9:5 then Peter thus address'd himself to Jesus, master, it is proper for us to be here: let us make therefore three tabernacles, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elias.
Mar 9:6 for he knew not what he said, they were all so frightned.
Mar 9:7 then a cloud surrounded them, and a voice from the cloud, said, "this is my beloved son, hear him."
Mar 9:8 and instantly looking round about, they did not see any other person but Jesus with them.
Mar 9:9 as they were going down the mountain, he order'd them not to tell any body what they had seen, till the son of man was raised from the dead:
Mar 9:10 an expression which they dwelt upon, asking one another the meaning of "till he was raised from the dead."
Mar 9:11 At length they started this question, why do the Scribes say, that Elias must first come?
Mar 9:12 it is true, said he, that Elias must come beforehand to establish every thing, and that it was predicted of him, as well as of the son of man, that he should suffer very much, and be treated with contempt.
Mar 9:13 but I tell you, that Elias is already come, as it was foretold; and they have treated him at their discretion.
Mar 9:14 When he was come to the other disciples, he found a great crowd about them, and the Pharisees disputing with them.
Mar 9:15 as soon as they saw him, they were over-joyed, and ran to salute him.
Mar 9:16 then he ask'd the Scribes, what were you debating with them?
Mar 9:17 and one of the crowd answer'd, master, I have brought to you my son, who is possess'd with a dumb spirit,
Mar 9:18 which no sooner comes on him, but it throws him down: then the child foams, gnashes his teeth, and grows meager.
Mar 9:19 then said Jesus, incredulous people, how long shall I be with you? must I be always assisting you? bring him before me.
Mar 9:20 so he was brought to him, and as soon as he saw him, the spirit threw him into convulsions, and he fell upon the ground, where he wallowed foaming.
Mar 9:21 Jesus then asked the father, how long is it since this befel him? from his infancy, said the father.
Mar 9:22 it has frequently thrown him into the fire, and into the water, to the hazard of his life; if therefore you can do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us.
Mar 9:23 Jesus said to him, provided you can believe, there is nothing but what may be effected for those that believe.
Mar 9:24 immediately the child's father cryed out with tears, I do believe, oh supply the defect of my faith.
Mar 9:25 Jesus observing the people came crowding to him, rebuked the evil spirit, saying, thou dumb and deaf spirit come out of the child, never to enter more, it is I command it.
Mar 9:26 and the spirit came out of him, having made him roar, and thrown him into such agonies, that he became like one that was dead, and many were of opinion he actually was so.
Mar 9:27 but Jesus taking him by the hand, raised him up, and he was perfectly recovered.
Mar 9:28 now when Jesus was retired to his own house, his disciples asked him in private, why could not we cast this spirit out?
Mar 9:29 Jesus answered, such a miracle is not effected but by prayer and fasting.
Mar 9:30 Having left that place, they went a private way through Galilee: for he was willing to be conceal'd.
Mar 9:31 in the mean time he gave his disciples this intimation, "the son of man is going to be delivered up into the hands of men, who will put him to death, and three days after he is put to death he shall rise again."
Mar 9:32 but they did not comprehend the meaning, and were ashamed to ask him about it.
Mar 9:33 At length, he arrived at Capernaum, where being in his own house, he asked his disciples, what were you disputing about by the way?
Mar 9:34 at which they were silent, for upon the road they had disputed about precedency.
Mar 9:35 then sitting down, he address'd himself to the twelve, saying, he that would be the first, must be the last of all, and the servant of all.
Mar 9:36 then taking a little child, he set him down before them; and embracing him in his arms, he said to them,
Mar 9:37 whoever receives such a child as this upon my account, receives me; and he that receiveth me, does not so properly receive me, as the commands of him that sent me.
Mar 9:38 Upon this occasion John address'd himself to Jesus, saying, master, we saw a man casting out demons in your name, tho' he did not belong to us, for which reason we opposed him.
Mar 9:39 but Jesus said, do not oppose him: for no man can speak evil of me, at the same time he works a miracle by virtue of my name.
Mar 9:40 such a one is not against us, but for us.
Mar 9:41 and whoever he be that shall give you a cup of water, as being the disciples of Christ, I assure you, he shall not lose his reward.
Mar 9:42 but if any one shall cause the meanest of those, who believe in me, to transgress, it had been better for him that a milstone were hanged about his neck, and he were thrown into the sea.
Mar 9:43 if even thy hand should make thee transgress, saw it off, and cast it away, it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than to have both hands and go into Gehenna, the unextinguishable fire:
Mar 9:44 where their worm does not die, and the fire is not extinguished.
Mar 9:45 and if thy foot make thee transgress, saw it off, it is better for you to enter into life, tho' lame, than to have both feet, and be thrown into Gehenna, the unextinguishable fire:
Mar 9:46 where their worm does not die, and the fire is not extinguished.
Mar 9:47 and if your eye make you transgress, pull it out; it is better for you to enter into the kingdom of God, with but one eye, than to have two, and be thrown into the Gehenna of fire: where the worm does not die,
Mar 9:48 and the fire is not extinguished.
Mar 9:49 such a one shall be consumed by fire, but the offering that is salted shall be preserv'd from corruption.
Mar 9:50 salt is good, but if the salt become insipid, how shall it recover its savour? don't lose your seasoning, nor your peaceable behaviour to one another.
Mar 10:1 Jesus departed from thence, and went towards the confines of Judea, thro' the country beyond Jordan: where the people resorting to him again, he renewed his instructions to them as usual.
Mar 10:2 then the Pharisees came and propos'd to him this insnaring question, is it lawful for a man to repudiate his wife?
Mar 10:3 to which he answered, what direction did Moses give you?
Mar 10:4 Moses, said they, allowed a bill of divorce, and so to dismiss her.
Mar 10:5 but Jesus answered them, it was out of regard to your untractable temper, that Moses gave you this permission.
Mar 10:6 for in the beginning of the world God formed them male and female.
Mar 10:7 "wherefore, 'tis said, a man shall leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife, and they two shall be one flesh."
Mar 10:8 consequently they are no longer two, but one person.
Mar 10:9 let no man therefore separate what God has designed to be one.
Mar 10:10 When they were in the house, the disciples asked him again concerning this matter, and he said to them,
Mar 10:11 whoever repudiates his wife and marries another, commits adultery against her:
Mar 10:12 and if a woman quits her husband and is married to another, she committeth adultery.
Mar 10:13 Then they brought young children to him, that he might lay his hands upon them: but his disciples rebuked those that presented them.
Mar 10:14 which Jesus observing was much displeas'd with them, and said, suffer little children to come unto me, do not hinder them: for of such is the kingdom of God.
Mar 10:15 I declare unto you, he that shall pretend to be admitted into the kingdom of God, and has not the temper of a little child, shall not enter therein.
Mar 10:16 then he embraced them, and laying his hand upon them, he gave them his blessing.
Mar 10:17 When he was set out upon his journey, there met him one, who kneeling down before him, said, good master, what must I do to inherit eternal life?
Mar 10:18 Jesus said to him, why do you call me good? there is but one, who is good, that is God.
Mar 10:19 you know the commandments, "do not commit adultery, do not kill, do not steal, do not bear false witness, defraud not, honour your father, and mother."
Mar 10:20 to which he answered, master, said he, all these precepts have I observed from my youth.
Mar 10:21 then Jesus looking upon him with a favourable eye, said, there is one thing still to be done; go, sell all your estate, and give it to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven; then come, take up the cross, and follow me.
Mar 10:22 but he was troubled at this answer, and went away very sorrowful, for he had a great estate.
Mar 10:23 then Jesus looking round about, said to his disciples, how difficult a thing is it for those who have riches to enter into the gospel kingdom!
Mar 10:24 at this expression the disciples were much surpriz'd. but Jesus reassum'd the discourse, and said, how difficult a thing is it for those, who place their trust in riches, to enter into the divine kingdom?
Mar 10:25 it is easier for a cable to pass thro' the eye of a needle, than for such a rich man to enter into the divine kingdom.
Mar 10:26 at this they were more amazed than before, and said to one another, how then can such a man be saved?
Mar 10:27 but Jesus casting his eye upon them, said, what is impossible to men, is not so to God; for to God all things are possible.
Mar 10:28 Then Peter thus address'd himself to Jesus, you see we have left every thing to follow you.
Mar 10:29 Jesus answered him, I declare unto you, there is not a man who has forsaken his house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, out of love to me and to the gospel,
Mar 10:30 but shall receive at present in this age, what will be a hundred times better to him, than houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, tho' with persecution: and in the age to come eternal life.
Mar 10:31 but they that are first shall be last, and the last shall be first.
Mar 10:32 When they were on the road to Jerusalem, Jesus led the way, and they followed behind full of apprehension and fear. then Jesus calling the twelve apostles to him again, acquainted them with what should befal him.
Mar 10:33 now, said he, we are going to Jerusalem, where the son of man will be delivered up to the chief priests, and to the Scribes, who will condemn him to die, and deliver him to the Gentiles.
Mar 10:34 they will treat him with ignominy, subject him to the lash, spit upon him, and at last put him to death. but on the third day he will rise again.
Mar 10:35 Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to him, and said, we desire you would grant us what we request.
Mar 10:36 what, said he, would you have me do for you?
Mar 10:37 they replied, when you are in your glory, grant that we may sit, the one on your right hand, and the other on your left.
Mar 10:38 but Jesus said to them, you know not what you ask. can you drink the cup, that I must drink, and be baptized with the baptism with which I must be baptized?
Mar 10:39 and they said, we can. but Jesus replied, you shall indeed drink of the cup, that I must drink of, and be baptized with the baptism, with which I must be baptized; but to sit on my right hand,
Mar 10:40 or on my left, is not in my power to grant, except to those for whom it was designed.
Mar 10:41 but the other ten, when they heard this, were fill'd with indignation against James and John.
Mar 10:42 So that Jesus called them to him, and said, you know that the rulers of the Gentiles domineer over them, and their great ones treat them in an imperious manner;
Mar 10:43 but it shall not be so among young you: on the contrary, whoever would be great among you, he must be your servant;
Mar 10:44 and whoever would be the chief, he must be the slave of all the rest.
Mar 10:45 for the son of man himself is not come to receive the services of men, but to do them service, and to lay down his life a ransom for many.
Mar 10:46 At length they came to Jericho, and as he was leaving Jericho, accompanied by his disciples, and a great number of people, a blind man called Bartimeus sat begging in the high-way.
Mar 10:47 when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he cried out, and said, Jesus, son of David, have pity on me.
Mar 10:48 but many of the company rebuk'd him, in order to silence him. at which he cry'd out with more earnestness, son of David have pity on me.
Mar 10:49 Jesus therefore stood still, and ordered him to be called; so they called to the blind man, and said, take courage, rise, he calls you.
Mar 10:50 upon which he threw off his loose coat, and went to Jesus;
Mar 10:51 who thereupon spoke to him, and said, what would you have me do for you? the blind man replied, Lord, I desire to have my sight.
Mar 10:52 and Jesus said to him, go your way, your faith has cur'd you, and immediately he had sight, and followed Jesus in the road.
Mar 11:1 As they came near to Jerusalem, about Bethphage and Bethany, by the mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples, and said to them:
Mar 11:2 go to yonder village that faces you, and upon your entrance into it, you will find a colt tied, that never was yet backed; loose him, and bring him to me.
Mar 11:3 if any one should ask you, why you do so? tell him, the Lord has occasion for it, and immediately he will send it hither.
Mar 11:4 accordingly they went, and finding the colt tied before a door, where two ways met, they untied it.
Mar 11:5 upon which some people there said to them, what do you mean by untying the colt?
Mar 11:6 and they answered as Jesus had directed, so they let them go.
Mar 11:7 then they brought the colt to Jesus, and throwing their garments upon it, he mounted thereon.
Mar 11:8 many spread their clothes in the way, others lopt down the branches of trees to strew them in the road.
Mar 11:9 the crowd that march'd before and behind crying out, Hosanna, blessed be he that comes in the name of the Lord;
Mar 11:10 blessed be the kingdom of our father David, which is now come, Hosanna in the highest heavens.
Mar 11:11 Jesus having made his entrance into Jerusalem, went into the temple, and after he had survey'd the whole, it being then late, he departed with the twelve to Bethany.
Mar 11:12 On the morrow when they had left Bethany, he was press'd with hunger.
Mar 11:13 and observing at a distance a fig-tree full of leaves, he went up to it to see if he could find any fruit upon it. but when he came to it, he found it had nothing but leaves, (for it was not the season for that sort of fig.)
Mar 11:14 thereupon Jesus said to the fig-tree, "no one shall ever eat any fruit of yours." and his disciples took notice of it.
Mar 11:15 Being arrived at Jerusalem, Jesus went into the temple, and began to turn out those that bought and sold there; he overthrew the table of Money-changers, and the stalls of those that sold doves.
Mar 11:16 nor would he suffer any baggage to be carried thro' the temple.
Mar 11:17 at the same time he explained himself to them in these words, is it not written, "my house shall be called a house of prayer to all nations?" but ye have made it a harbour for thieves.
Mar 11:18 the Scribes and Pharisees upon hearing this consulted together how to destroy him; but they stood in awe of him, because all the people were strangely affected with his doctrine.
Mar 11:19 but at night Jesus withdrew from the city.
Mar 11:20 In the morning as they were coming back, they saw the fig-tree withered away to the very roots.
Mar 11:21 Peter remembring the tree, said, master, see the fig-tree, which you cursed, is quite withered.
Mar 11:22 but Jesus replied, and said to them, rely upon God.
Mar 11:23 for I assuredly tell you, that whoever shall say to this mountain, be removed, and cast into the sea, having no doubt in his mind, but believing what he says shall be effected, what he pronounces shall actually be accomplished.
Mar 11:24 therefore whenever you pray, be fully persuaded of obtaining your request, and I assure you it shall be granted, whatever it be.
Mar 11:25 only when you are dispos'd to prayer, if you have any cause of complaint against any one, forgive him, that your heavenly father may forgive you your offences.
Mar 11:26 but if you do not forgive others, neither will your heavenly father forgive you.
Mar 11:27 Then they entred again into Jerusalem: and as he was walking in the temple, the chief priests, the Scribes, and rulers of the Jews came about him,
Mar 11:28 and asked him, by what authority do you behave thus? and who gave you that authority?
Mar 11:29 Jesus replied to them, if you will answer one question, that I shall propose to you, then I will tell you by what authority I act thus.
Mar 11:30 the baptism of John, was it of divine, or of human institution?
Mar 11:31 answer me that. upon this they reasoned thus with themselves; if we should say, it was divine, he will urge, why then did you not believe him?
Mar 11:32 if we should say, it was a human institution, we run a risk from the people. (for they all believed John was a true prophet.)
Mar 11:33 they therefore gave Jesus this answer, we cannot tell. neither do I, said Jesus, acquaint you by what authority I act thus.
Mar 12:1 Then Jesus address'd himself to them in this parabolical manner. a certain person planted a vineyard, made a fence about it, clear'd the way for a wine-press, built a tower, and committed it to the care of vine-dressers, while he was travelling abroad.
Mar 12:2 at the time of vintage he sent his servant to the vine-dressers to receive the profits of his vineyard.
Mar 12:3 but they seized on him, and beat him, and sent him home empty.
Mar 12:4 after this he sent another servant to them, him they assaulted with stones and cudgels, and sent him back with contempt.
Mar 12:5 then he sent another, whom they killed: and of several more, some they beat, some they killed.
Mar 12:6 at last, having one only son, whom he loved, he sent him to them; surely, said he, they will reverence my son.
Mar 12:7 but these husbandmen said to one another, this is the heir, come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be our own.
Mar 12:8 so they seized upon him, and dragg'd him out of the vineyard, and killed him.
Mar 12:9 now what will the master of the vineyard do? on his return, said they, he will destroy those vine-dressers, and give his vineyard to others.
Mar 12:10 have you not read, said he, this passage of scripture, "the stone which the builders rejected, is become the principal stone of the angle.
Mar 12:11 it is the Lord, that has done this, and it is marvellous in our eyes."
Mar 12:12 then they contriv'd how they might seize him, for they perceived, that he applied the parable to them; but for fear of the people they left him, and went away.
Mar 12:13 Then they sent some of the Pharisees, and of the Herodians to insnare him in his discourse.
Mar 12:14 when they were come, they said to him, master, we know that you are sincere, that you are not influenced by any one, for you have no regard to the person of men: but teach us the way of God according to truth. now should we pay tribute to Cesar, or no? shall we pay, or shall we not pay?
Mar 12:15 but he, perceiving their hypocrisy, said to them, why do you lay snares for me?
Mar 12:16 let me see a penny. and when they brought it, he asked them, whose image and inscription is this? they said, Cesar's.
Mar 12:17 to which Jesus reply'd, render to Cesar what belongs to Cesar, and to God what belongs to God. and they were surprized at the answer.
Mar 12:18 Then the Saducees, who deny the resurrection, came and asked him,
Mar 12:19 saying, master, Moses has left it us in writing, that if a man dies, and leaves his wife without any children, his brother should marry his widow, in order to perpetuate his name.
Mar 12:20 now there were seven brothers: the first married a wife and died, leaving her without any children.
Mar 12:21 the second married her, and he died too without leaving her any children: the third did the same.
Mar 12:22 so that all the seven married her, but left no children. last of all she died.
Mar 12:23 at the time therefore of the resurrection, when they shall rise, whose wife shall she be of the seven?
Mar 12:24 for they all married her. Jesus answered them, don't you see you are in a mistake, by being unacquainted with the scriptures, as well as with the power of God?
Mar 12:25 for when they shall rise from the dead, they neither will marry, nor be given in marriage, but be immortal like the angels in heaven.
Mar 12:26 and as for the dead, that they will actually rise, have you not read in the book of Moses those words, which God pronounc'd out of the bush to him, "I am the God of Abraham, 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: and therefore you greatly mistake the meaning.
Mar 12:28 One of the Scribes, that had heard their dispute, observing the propriety of his answers, propos'd this question to him, which is the principal commandment of all?
Mar 12:29 Jesus answer'd him, the first of all the commandments is thus deliver'd, "hear, o Israel, the lord our God is the only lord.
Mar 12:30 you shall therefore love the lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, to the utmost of your understanding, and all your faculties." this is the first commandment.
Mar 12:31 and the second, which has an affinity to it, is this: "you shall love your neighbour as yourself." there is no other commandment greater than these.
Mar 12:32 the Scribe replied, what you have said, master, is very true, there is one God, and no other but he.
Mar 12:33 and to love him with all the heart, with all the understanding, with all the soul, with all its faculties, and to love one's neighbour as one's self is more acceptable than all the offerings and sacrifices in the world.
Mar 12:34 Jesus observing he answer'd so discreetly, said to him, you are not far from the kingdom of God. and no man after that was so hardy as to ask him any question.
Mar 12:35 As Jesus was teaching in the temple, he address'd himself to them, saying, why do the Scribes maintain that Christ is the son of David?
Mar 12:36 for David himself, who was inspired by the holy spirit, has this expression, "the Lord said to my Lord, sit thou at my right hand till I make thy enemies thy foot-stool."
Mar 12:37 now since David himself calls him Lord, how can he be David's son? and the common people heard him with pleasure.
Mar 12:38 in the sequel of the discourse, he said to them, beware of the Scribes, who affect to walk about in their long robes, to be saluted in publick places,
Mar 12:39 and to have the first seats in their synagogues, and at their feasts:
Mar 12:40 who yet devour widows estates under the shew of making long prayers, such shall receive greater condemnation.
Mar 12:41 At length, as Jesus was sitting over-against the treasury, he observed the peoples throwing money into the chest; when many of the rich gave large sums.
Mar 12:42 and there came a certain poor widow, who threw in two mites, to the value of a farthing.
Mar 12:43 upon which he call'd to his disciples, and said to them, I declare unto you, that this poor widow has given more than any of those, who have given to the treasury.
Mar 12:44 for all the rest contributed out of their superfluous substance; but she has contributed what she wanted for her bare subsistence.
Mar 13:1 As Jesus was going out of the temple, one of his disciples said to him, see, master, what stone-work, and buildings are here.
Mar 13:2 but Jesus answer'd him, you see this magnificent structure, which shall not be left till it be all demolished, one stone after another.
Mar 13:3 and when he was sitting upon the mount of Olives over-against the temple, Peter, James, John, and Andrew said to him in private, tell us,
Mar 13:4 when shall this happen? and what will be the sign that this is going to be accomplished?
Mar 13:5 Jesus answer'd by saying, take care not to let any one impose upon you;
Mar 13:6 for many shall come in my name, and say, I am the Messiah; and deceive many.
Mar 13:7 but when ye shall hear the talk of wars, and the noise of wars, be not alarm'd; for that must happen; but the end is not yet.
Mar 13:8 for nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: there shall be earthquakes in divers places, famines and commotions.
Mar 13:9 these are the beginning of sorrows. then look to your selves: for they will deliver you up to the tribunals, and scourge you in the synagogues: you will be brought before governours, and princes upon my account, to be my witnesses against them.
Mar 13:10 but the gospel must first be published among all nations.
Mar 13:11 now when they shall lead you to deliver you up, be not sollicitous about your defence, don't premeditate upon it; but what shall be suggested to you at the very occasion, that deliver: for it is not you that will plead, but the holy spirit.
Mar 13:12 then the brother shall betray his brother to death, and the father his son: children shall prosecute their parents, and be the instruments to take away their lives:
Mar 13:13 you will be the object of universal hatred upon my account; but he that shall persevere unto the end, shall be saved.
Mar 13:14 Now when you shall see the-abomination of desolation, mentioned by the prophet Daniel, establish'd where it ought not to be (let the reader observe) then let those, who are in Judea, flee to the mountains:
Mar 13:15 he that is upon the battlements let him not descend into the house, nor enter therein to take any thing away: let
Mar 13:16 not him that is in the field return back to fetch his garment.
Mar 13:17 unhappy the women who are pregnant, and those who nurse children at such a time.
Mar 13:18 pray that your flight be not in the winter.
Mar 13:19 for the distress of that time will be such as never happen'd since the beginning of the world, which God created, to this present, nor ever shall be.
Mar 13:20 so that if the Lord should suffer it to last, no man could escape: but he will not suffer the time to last long, out of regard to his elect.
Mar 13:21 Then if any one shall say to you, Christ is here, or, he is there, don't believe it.
Mar 13:22 for false Christs, and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and prodigies, so as to seduce, if it were possible, even the very elect.
Mar 13:23 be you therefore upon your guard: remember I have forewarned you against all events.
Mar 13:24 Now after the time of that distress, the sun shall be dark, and the moon shall give no light:
Mar 13:25 the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken.
Mar 13:26 then shall they see the son of man coming in the clouds with power and great glory.
Mar 13:27 then will he send his angels, and gather his elect from the four winds, from the remotest part of the earth, to the remotest part of heaven.
Mar 13:28 Consider this similitude taken from a fig-tree: when its branch is yet tender, and pushes out its leaves, you know that summer is near:
Mar 13:29 so when you shall see these things happen, know that he is nigh, even at your doors.
Mar 13:30 I declare unto you, this generation shall not be extinct, till all these things be transacted.
Mar 13:31 heaven and earth shall fail, but my words shall never fail.
Mar 13:32 as to the day and hour, that no one knows, neither the angels in heaven, nor even the son; but the father only.
Mar 13:33 be circumspect, be vigilant, and devout: because you are uncertain when that time will be.
Mar 13:34 when a man travels into foreign parts, he leaves his goods in charge to his servants, he appoints to every one his task, and orders the porter to be vigilant,
Mar 13:35 watch ye therefore (for you don't know when the master of the house will return; whether at evening, or at midnight, or at the cock-crowing, or in the morning)
Mar 13:36 for fear by his sudden return he should surprize you sleeping.
Mar 13:37 what I say to you, I say to all, be vigilant.
Mar 14:1 Within two days was the feast of the passover, and of unleavened bread. and the chief priests, with the Scribes, contriv'd how they might seize Jesus by surprize, and put him to death.
Mar 14:2 but they objected, it could not be during the festival, for fear of a popular insurrection.
Mar 14:3 now being at Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, while he was at table, there came a woman with a viol full of the perfume of spikenard, which was very costly; and she opened the viol, and poured it upon his head.
Mar 14:4 but some had a secret indignation, and said, why must the perfume be so wasted?
Mar 14:5 for we could have sold it for above two hundred denarys, and given them to the poor: and they inveighed against her.
Mar 14:6 but Jesus said, let her alone, why do you disquiet her? it is commendable, what she has done out of respect to me.
Mar 14:7 the poor you have always with you, and you may relieve them whenever you please: but me you will not always have.
Mar 14:8 she has done what she could: she has perfum'd my body previously to my burial.
Mar 14:9 I declare unto you, in whatever quarter of the world this part of the gospel-history shall be related, this action of hers shall be mention'd to her praise.
Mar 14:10 Then Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went to the chief priests, in order to betray him to them.
Mar 14:11 they were glad to hear him, and promis'd to give him money. upon which he contriv'd the most favourable occasion to betray him.
Mar 14:12 On the first day of unleavened bread, when the paschal lamb is kill'd, his disciples said to him, where would you have us go and prepare for your eating the paschal lamb?
Mar 14:13 upon which he dispatch'd two of his disciples, and said to them: go into the city, and you will meet a man carrying a pitcher of water; follow him.
Mar 14:14 and wherever he enters, say to the master of the house: "thus saith our master; where is the chamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?"
Mar 14:15 and he will shew you a large upper room ready furnished: there make preparation for us.
Mar 14:16 his disciples therefore went away, and being come into the city, they found every thing, as he had told them; and they prepared the paschal lamb.
Mar 14:17 There he came in the evening with the twelve.
Mar 14:18 and as they sat eating, Jesus said, verily I say unto you, one of you that is eating with me, will betray me.
Mar 14:19 and they were seized with sorrow, all successively asking him, is it I?
Mar 14:20 but he answered them, saying, it is one of the twelve, he that eats of the same mess with me.
Mar 14:21 the son of man is going indeed, according to what is written of him: but wo to that man, by whom the son of man is betrayed: it would be better for that man, if he had never been born.
Mar 14:22 When they had been eating, Jesus took bread, and having given thanks, he brake it, and gave it to them, and said, take it, this represents 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 to them, this represents the effusion of my blood (the sanction of the new covenant) for mankind.
Mar 14:25 but this I tell you, I will never more drink of this fruit of the vine, from this time forth to that day, when I shall drink with you of the spiritual wine in the kingdom of God.
Mar 14:26 Then, having sung an hymn, they went out towards the mount of Olives.
Mar 14:27 and Jesus said to them, this night you will all be staggered upon my account: for it is written, "I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered."
Mar 14:28 but after I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee.
Mar 14:29 upon which Peter said to him, tho' all should stagger, yet I will not.
Mar 14:30 Jesus said to him, verily I tell thee, to-day, even this night, before the cock crow twice, you will renounce me thrice.
Mar 14:31 but he urg'd it with more vehemence, tho' I should die with you, I will not renounce you. and all the rest affirm'd the same.
Mar 14:32 At length they came to a place call'd Gethsemane, and he said to his disciples, stay here, whilst I shall be at prayer.
Mar 14:33 but he took with him Peter, James, and John. then he began to be in a great consternation and anguish of mind. and he said to them; my soul is exceeding sorrowful,
Mar 14:34 even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch.
Mar 14:35 then advancing a little further, he fell on the ground, and prayed, that this anxiety might pass from him.
Mar 14:36 saying, father, all things are possible to thee, take away this cup from me: nevertheless, not my will, but thine be done.
Mar 14:37 Then he return'd, and having found them sleeping, he said to Peter, Simon, are you asleep? could you not watch one hour?
Mar 14:38 watch and pray, that you may not yield to temptation: the mind indeed is vigorous, but the body is weak.
Mar 14:39 Again he retired, and prayed, uttering the same words.
Mar 14:40 then he return'd and found them still sleeping, for their eyes were heavy, and they did not know how to give an answer.
Mar 14:41 after that he came a third time, and said to them, sleep on now and take your rest. 'tis done, the time is come, and the son of man is to be betrayed into the hands of sinners.
Mar 14:42 rise, let us be going: see, the traitor is just upon us.
Mar 14:43 All of a sudden, while he was yet speaking, appear'd Judas, one of the twelve, attended by a great number of people with swords and clubs, who were sent by the chief priests, the Scribes, and rulers.
Mar 14:44 now he that betrayed him, had given them this signal, you will see me salute one with a kiss, that's he: seize him, and don't let him escape.
Mar 14:45 then advancing, he went directly up to him, saying, master, master, and kissed him.
Mar 14:46 and they violently laid hands on him and secured him.
Mar 14:47 but one of those that stood by, drew his sword against a servant of the high priest, and struck off his ear.
Mar 14:48 but Jesus addressing himself to them, said, why do you come with swords and clubs against me, as if you were to apprehend some robber?
Mar 14:49 I was daily among you, teaching in the temple, and you did not then seize upon me. but the scriptures are thereby accomplished.
Mar 14:50 then all his disciples abandon'd him and fled.
Mar 14:51 But a certain youth, that was stript to his inmost vest, followed him, and was seized by the soldiers.
Mar 14:52 but he slipt from his vest, and fled away naked.
Mar 14:53 Jesus they led away to the high priest's, where all the chief priests, the rulers and Scribes, were assembled.
Mar 14:54 Peter followed at a distance, even into the palace of the high priest: where he sat down among the servants to warm himself at the fire.
Mar 14:55 Now the chief priests, and the whole council endeavour'd to get evidence against Jesus, to condemn him to die; but they found none.
Mar 14:56 there were indeed several, who depos'd what was false against him: besides, what they deposed was insufficient.
Mar 14:57 at last there appear'd some, who gave in false evidence against him,
Mar 14:58 saying, we heard him say, "I will pull down this temple that is made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands."
Mar 14:59 but neither did this evidence appear sufficient.
Mar 14:60 then the high priest rising up in the midst of the assembly, ask'd Jesus, saying, have you nothing to plead for your self? what say you to the evidence they give against you?
Mar 14:61 but Jesus remain'd silent, and gave no answer. then the high priest asked him again, and said to him, art thou the Christ, the son of the most High?
Mar 14:62 and Jesus answered, 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 robes, and said to the council, what occasion is there for any more witnesses?
Mar 14:64 you have heard the blasphemy, what is your opinion? and they all pronounc'd, that he deserved to die.
Mar 14:65 then some began to spit on him, others cover'd his face and struck him on the head, crying out, divine, who it is. and the domestics slapt him on the cheeks.
Mar 14:66 In the mean time Peter was in the entry of the hall, where one of the maids belonging to the high priest came:
Mar 14:67 and seeing Peter warming himself, she looked earnestly upon him, and said, you too was with Jesus the Nazarene.
Mar 14:68 but he denied it, saying, I don't know him, neither am I acquainted with any such you mention. and he went out into the porch, when the cock crow'd.
Mar 14:69 the maid saw him a second time, and said to the standers-by, this is one of them:
Mar 14:70 but he denied it again. a little time after, they that stood by, still urg'd Peter, saying, you are certainly one of his disciples, for your speech shows you to be a Galilean.
Mar 14:71 but he fell a cursing, and swore, I don't know the man you mention,
Mar 14:72 and the cock crowed for the second time. then Peter calling to mind that expression of Jesus, "before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice," he cover'd his head and wept.
Mar 15:1 Early in the morning the chief priests, the rulers, and Scribes, even the whole council, after having deliberated together, caus'd Jesus to be bound, then led him away and deliver'd him to Pilate.
Mar 15:2 Pilate therefore ask'd him, art thou the king of the Jews? and he made answer, yes.
Mar 15:3 the chief priests continuing to accuse him with much clamour,
Mar 15:4 Pilate spake to him again, and said, will you make no defence for your self? don't you hear what they urge against you?
Mar 15:5 but Jesus still made no answer; so that Pilate was much amaz'd.
Mar 15:6 Now during the feast, it was customary to release a prisoner, to be nominated by the people.
Mar 15:7 Barabbas lay then confin'd with other seditious, who had committed murder in an insurrection.
Mar 15:8 the populace therefore fell a roaring, and desired him to do as was always practis'd.
Mar 15:9 but Pilate answered them, saying, do you chuse to have Jesus releas'd, the king of the Jews?
Mar 15:10 for he perceived plainly, it was out of malice, that the chief priests had prosecuted him.
Mar 15:11 but the chief priests incited the people to demand, that he would rather release Barabbas.
Mar 15:12 Pilate still urg'd them again, and said, what then would you have me do with him, that you stile king of the Jews?
Mar 15:13 and they cried out again, crucify him.
Mar 15:14 Pilate replied, why, what harm has he done? but they cried out more furiously, crucify him.
Mar 15:15 Pilate therefore willing to humour the people, released to them Barabbas, and having caused Jesus to be scourg'd, he deliver'd him to be crucified.
Mar 15:16 Then the soldiers took Jesus away into the hall, call'd Pretorium; and summon'd their whole company together.
Mar 15:17 and they put on him a purple cloth, and set a wreath of thorns upon his head for a crown;
Mar 15:18 then they began to salute him, saying, "Hail king of the Jews!"
Mar 15:19 and they struck him on the head with a cane, spit upon him, and bowing their knees, made a show of reverence.
Mar 15:20 Their mockery ended, they stript him of his purple, and put his own cloaths on him; then led him away to be crucified.
Mar 15:21 one Simon of Cyrene, the father of Alexander and Rufus, as he pass'd by in his return out of the country, was compell'd to carry the cross.
Mar 15:22 so they brought him to a place called Golgotha, that is, the place of a skull.
Mar 15:23 there they offered him myrrhed wine to drink, but he did not take it.
Mar 15:24 after they had crucified him, they shared his garments, by casting lots for them: to determine what each of them should take.
Mar 15:25 now it was the third hour of the day, when they crucified him,
Mar 15:26 and the inscription of the charge against him was thus express'd, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
Mar 15:27 at the same time they crucified two robbers, one on his right hand, the other on his left.
Mar 15:28 so that this passage of scripture was fulfill'd, "and he was numbred with the transgressors."
Mar 15:29 besides the people that pass'd by, shook their heads, and impiously said: ah, you that can destroy the temple, and rebuild it in three days,
Mar 15:30 save your self, and come down from the cross.
Mar 15:31 in like manner the chief priests and the Scribes in derision said to one another: he pretended to save others, himself he cannot save.
Mar 15:32 let the Messiah, the king of Israel, descend now from the cross: let us see that, and we will believe on him. and they that were crucified with him, threw their reproaches at him.
Mar 15:33 Now from the sixth hour the whole land was cover'd with darkness until the ninth hour.
Mar 15:34 and at the ninth hour Jesus cry'd out with a loud voice, saying, ELOI, ELOI, LAMA SABACHTANI, that is, MY GOD, MY GOD, WHY HAST THOU FORSAKEN ME?
Mar 15:35 some there present upon hearing that, said: observe, he calls upon Elias.
Mar 15:36 then one of the soldiers ran and dipp'd a spunge in vinegar, which he fastned to a stick, and offered him to drink. now let us, said they, see whether Elias will come to take him down.
Mar 15:37 then Jesus cry'd with a loud voice, and expired.
Mar 15:38 Immediately the veil of the temple was rent in two, from the top to the bottom.
Mar 15:39 and the Centurion who stood over-against him, observing that he expired with so great a cry, said, certainly this man was the son of God.
Mar 15:40 there were likewise several women, who were spectators at a distance: among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the minor, and of Joses and Salome:
Mar 15:41 who had attended Jesus, and supply'd him with necessaries when he was in Galilee: besides many other women, who came up with him to Jerusalem.
Mar 15:42 Now, as soon as the evening was come; because it was then the preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath,
Mar 15:43 one Joseph of Arimathea, an honourable senator, who was himself in expectation of the kingdom of God, ventur'd to come and wait upon Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.
Mar 15:44 Pilate surpriz'd that he should be dead so soon, sent for the Centurion, and ask'd him, if he had been dead any time.
Mar 15:45 and being satisfied of it, he granted the body to Joseph;
Mar 15:46 who taking down the body, wrapped it in a fine linnen cloth, which he had bought, and laid it in a sepulchre, which was hewn out of a rock, and roll'd a stone for a door to the sepulchre: and Mary Magdalene,
Mar 15:47 and Mary the mother of Joses, took notice where he was laid.
Mar 16:1 When the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome, after having bought aromatic drugs to embalm him,
Mar 16:2 went to the sepulchre very early in the morning, the first day of the week, at sun-rising.
Mar 16:3 and they said to one another, who will remove the stone from the mouth of the sepulchre for us?
Mar 16:4 (for it was very great.) but when they were near in view, they perceiv'd that the stone was roll'd away.
Mar 16:5 upon their entring into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting towards the right, cloathed in a long white garment: at which they were frighted.
Mar 16:6 but he said to them, don't be frightned: you look for Jesus the Nazarene: he is risen, he is not here: see the place where he lay.
Mar 16:7 go, tell Peter and the rest of his disciples, that he is gone before you into Galilee: there you will see him, as he foretold you.
Mar 16:8 at this they started out, and fled from the sepulchre in a violent consternation, without speaking a word to any by the way: they were so frighted.
Mar 16:9 Now Jesus being risen early on the first day of the week, he appear'd first to Mary Magdalene, whom he had dispossess'd of seven demons.
Mar 16:10 immediately she went to those who frequented Jesus, and were then bemoaning themselves in tears, and acquainted them with it.
Mar 16:11 but though they heard that he was alive, and had appear'd to her, they did not believe.
Mar 16:12 after that, he appear'd under another form to two of them, as they were taking a walk into the country.
Mar 16:13 and they went and acquainted the rest: but neither did they believe them.
Mar 16:14 afterwards he appear'd to the eleven, as they were all sitting at table, and he reproved them for their incredulity and obstinacy in not giving credit to those, who had seen him after his resurrection.
Mar 16:15 Then he said to them, go ye into all parts of the world, and preach the gospel to all mankind.
Mar 16:16 he that believeth, and is baptized, shall be saved; but he that disbelieves, shall be condemned.
Mar 16:17 they that believe shall be endued with these miraculous gifts: in my name they shall cast out demons: they shall speak new languages:
Mar 16:18 they shall handle serpents, and if they drink any mortal poison, it shall do them no hurt: they shall lay hands on the sick, and the sick shall recover.
Mar 16:19 Now after the Lord had convers'd with them, he was assum'd up to heaven, where he sat on the right hand of God.
Mar 16:20 as for the disciples, they went and preached the gospel in all parts: the Lord co-operating with them, and confirming their doctrine by the miracles that accompany'd it.
