The beginning of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
2As it is written in the Prophets: "Behold, I send My messenger before Thy face, who shall prepare Thy way before Thee."
3"The voice of one crying in the wilderness: `Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make His paths straight.'"
4John baptized in the wilderness and preached the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.
5And there went out unto him all the land of Judea and those of Jerusalem; and they were all baptized by him in the River Jordan, confessing their sins.
6And John was clothed with camel's hair and with a girdle of a skin about his loins, and he ate locusts and wild honey.
7And he preached, saying, "There cometh after me One mightier than I, the strap of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose.
8I indeed have baptized you with water, but He shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost."
9And it came to pass in those days that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John in the Jordan.
10And straightway coming up out of the water, He saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon Him.
11And there came a voice from Heaven, saying, "THOU ART MY BELOVED SON, IN WHOM I AM WELL PLEASED."
12And immediately the Spirit drove Him into the wilderness.
13And He was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted by Satan, and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto Him.
14Now after John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom of God
15and saying, "The time is fulfilled, and the Kingdom of God is at hand. Repent ye and believe the Gospel."
16Now as He walked by the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea, for they were fishers.
17And Jesus said unto them, "Come ye after Me, and I will make you to become fishers of men."
18And straightway they forsook their nets, and followed Him.
19And when He had gone a little farther thence, He saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the boat mending their nets.
20And straightway He called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, and went after Him.
21And they went into Capernaum, and straightway on the Sabbath day He entered into the synagogue and taught.
22And they were astonished at His doctrine, for He taught them as one who had authority, and not as the scribes.
23And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,
24saying, "Let us alone. What have we to do with Thee, Thou Jesus of Nazareth? Hast Thou come to destroy us? I know Thee and who Thou art -- the Holy One of God!"
25And Jesus rebuked him, saying, "Hold thy peace, and come out of him!"
26And when the unclean spirit had torn him and cried out with a loud voice, he came out of him.
27And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, "What thing is this? What new doctrine is this? For with authority he commandeth even the unclean spirits, and they obey him."
28And immediately His fame spread abroad throughout all the region round about Galilee.
29And forthwith when they had come out of the synagogue, they entered into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
30But Simon's wife's mother lay sick with a fever, and at once they told Him of her.
Mark 2 - 21st Century King James Version
And again He entered into Capernaum some days later, and it was reported that He was in the house.
2And straightway many were gathered together, insomuch that there was no room to receive them, no, not even about the door; and He preached the Word unto them.
3And they came unto Him, bringing one sick with the palsy, who was borne by four.
4And when they could not come nigh unto Him because of the throng, they uncovered the roof where He was. And when they had broken through, they let down the bed on which the one sick with the palsy lay.
5When Jesus saw their faith, He said unto the one sick with the palsy, "Son, thy sins are forgiven thee."
6But there were certain of the scribes sitting there and reasoning in their hearts,
7"Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God only?"
8And immediately, when Jesus perceived in His spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, He said unto them, "Why reason ye these things in your hearts:
9whether it is easier to say to the sick with the palsy, `Thy sins are forgiven thee,' or to say, `Arise, and take up thy bed and walk'?
10But that ye may know that the Son of Man hath power on earth to forgive sins--" He said to the one sick with the palsy,
11"I say unto thee, arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house."
12And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all, insomuch that they all were amazed and glorified God, saying, "We never saw it in this fashion!"
13And He went forth again by the seaside; and all the multitude resorted unto Him, and He taught them.
14And as He passed by, He saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the custom booth, and said unto him, "Follow Me." And he arose and followed Him.
15And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat at Levi's house, that many publicans and sinners sat also together with Jesus and His disciples; for there were many, and they followed Him.
16And when the scribes and Pharisees saw Him eating with publicans and sinners, they said unto His disciples, "How is it that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners?"
17When Jesus heard it, He said unto them, "They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance."
18And the disciples of John and of the Pharisees used to fast; and they came and said unto Him, "Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast, but thy disciples fast not?"
19And Jesus said unto them, "Can the attendants of the bridechamber fast while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.
20But the days will come when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days.
21"No man also seweth a piece of new cloth on an old garment, else the new piece that filled it up teareth away from the old, and the rent is made worse.
22And no man putteth new wine into old wineskins, else the new wine doth burst the skins, and the wine is spilled and the skins will be marred. But new wine must be put into new wineskins."
23And it came to pass that He went through the cornfields on the Sabbath day; and His disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears of corn.
24And the Pharisees said unto Him, "Behold, why do they do on the Sabbath day that which is not lawful?"
25And He said unto them, "Have ye never read what David did when he was in need and hungered, he and they that were with him?
26How he went into the house of God in the days of Abiathar the high priest, and ate the showbread which is not lawful to eat except for the priests, and gave it also to those who were with him?"
27And He said unto them, "The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath.
28Therefore the Son of Man is Lord also of the Sabbath."
Mark 3 - 21st Century King James Version
And He entered again into the synagogue, and there was a man there who had a withered hand.
2And they watched Him to see whether He would heal him on the Sabbath day, that they might accuse Him.
3And He said unto the man who had the withered hand, "Stand forth."
4And He said unto them, "Is it lawful to do good on the Sabbath days, or to do evil? To save life, or to kill?" But they held their peace.
5And when He had looked round about on them with anger, being grieved by the hardness of their hearts, He said unto the man, "Stretch forth thine hand." And he stretched it out, and his hand was restored whole as the other.
6And the Pharisees went forth and straightway took counsel with the Herodians against Him, how they might destroy Him.
7But Jesus withdrew Himself with His disciples to the sea. And a great multitude from Galilee followed Him, and from Judea,
8and from Jerusalem, and from Idumea, and from beyond the Jordan. And those from around Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, when they had heard what great things He did, came unto Him.
9And He spoke to His disciples that a small boat should await Him because of the multitude, lest they should throng Him.
10For He had healed many, insomuch that they pressed upon Him to touch Him, as many as had plagues.
11And unclean spirits, when they saw Him, fell down before Him and cried, saying, "Thou art the Son of God!"
12And He strictly charged them that they should not make Him known.
13And He went up onto a mountain, and called unto Him whom He would have, and they came unto Him.
14And He ordained twelve, that they should be with Him, and that He might send them forth to preach,
15and to have power to heal sicknesses and to cast out devils:
16Simon (He surnamed Peter);
17and James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James (and He surnamed them Boanerges, which means The Sons of Thunder);
18and Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Thadaeus, and Simon the Canaanite,
19and Judas Iscariot who also betrayed Him. And they went into a house;
20and the multitude came together again, so that they could not so much as eat bread.
21And when His friends heard of it, they went out to lay hold on Him; for they said, "He is beside himself."
22And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem said, "He hath Beelzebub, and by the prince of devils he casteth out devils."
23And He called them unto Him, and said unto them in parables, "How can Satan cast out Satan?
24And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.
25And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand.
26And if Satan rise up against himself and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end.
27No man can enter into a strong man's house and despoil his goods, unless he will first bind the strong man; and then he will despoil his house.
28"Verily I say unto you, all sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men and blasphemies, however they shall blaspheme;
29but he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation";
30because they said, "He hath an unclean spirit."
Mark 4 - 21st Century King James Version
And He began again to teach by the seaside. And there was gathered unto Him a great multitude, so that He entered into a boat and sat in it on the sea; and the whole multitude was by the sea on the land.
2And He taught them many things by parables, and said unto them in His doctrine:
3"Hearken! Behold, there went out a sower to sow.
4And it came to pass as he sowed, some seed fell by the wayside; and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up.
5And some fell on stony ground where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth.
6But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.
7And some fell among thorns; and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.
8And other fell on good ground; and it yielded fruit that sprang up and increased and brought forth: some thirty, and some sixty, and some a hundredfold."
9And He said unto them, "He that hath ears to hear, let him hear."
10And when He was alone, those who were about Him with the twelve asked Him about the parable.
11And 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,
12that, `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.'"
13And He said unto them, "Know you not this parable? And how then will ye know all parables?
14The sower soweth the Word.
15And these are they by the wayside, where the Word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately and taketh away the Word that was sown in their hearts.
16And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground who, when they have heard the Word, immediately receive it with gladness;
17but they 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.
18And these are they which are sown among thorns, such as hear the Word,
19but 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.
20And 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."
21And He said unto them, "Is a candle brought to be put under a basket or under a bed, and not to be set on a candlestick?
22For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was anything kept secret, but that it should be revealed.
23If any man have ears to hear, let him hear."
24And 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.
25For he that hath, to him shall be given; and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath."
26And He said, "So is the Kingdom of God as if a man should cast seed into the ground,
27and should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring up and grow, he knoweth not how.
28For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself: first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.
29But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come."
30And He said, "To what shall we liken the Kingdom of God? Or with what comparison shall we compare it?
Mark 5 - 21st Century King James Version
And they came over unto the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes.
2And when He had come out of the boat, immediately there met Him from out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,
3who had his dwelling among the tombs. And no man could bind him, no, not even with chains,
4because he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been rent asunder by him and the fetters broken in pieces; neither could any man tame him.
5And always, night and day, he was in the mountains and in the tombs, crying out and cutting himself with stones.
6But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshiped Him,
7and 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!"
8For He had said unto him, "Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit."
9And Jesus asked him, "What is thy name?" And he answered, saying, "My name is Legion, for we are many."
10And he besought Him much that He would not send them away out of the country.
11Now there was there nigh unto the mountains a great herd of swine feeding.
12And all the devils besought Him, saying, "Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them."
13And 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 and into the sea (they were about two thousand), and were choked in the sea.
14And those who fed the swine fled, and told it in the city and in the country. And the people went out to see what it was that had been done.
15And they came to Jesus, and saw him that had been possessed by the devil and had the legion, sitting and clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.
16And those who saw it told the people what had befallen him that was possessed by the devil, and also concerning the swine.
17And they began to pray Him to depart from their borders.
18And when He had gotten into the boat, he that had been possessed with the devil prayed Him that he might be with Him.
19But Jesus suffered him not, and said unto him, "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."
20And he departed and began to proclaim in Decapolis what great things Jesus had done for him. And all men marveled.
21And when Jesus had passed over again by boat unto the other side, many people gathered unto Him; and He was nigh unto the sea.
22And behold, there came one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and when he saw Him, he fell at His feet
23and 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."
24And Jesus went with him, and many people followed Him and thronged Him.
25And a certain woman who had an issue of blood twelve years,
26and had suffered many things under many physicians, and had spent all that she had and was no better, but rather grew worse,
27when she had heard of Jesus, came up behind Him in the press of the crowd and touched His garment;
28for she said, "If I may touch but His clothes, I shall be whole."
29And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.
30And Jesus, immediately knowing in Himself that virtue had gone out of Him, turned about in the press of the crowd and said, "Who touched My clothes?"
Mark 6 - 21st Century King James Version
And He went out from thence and came into His own country, and His disciples followed Him.
2And when the Sabbath day had 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?
3Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James and Joses, and of Judas and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us?" And they were offended at Him.
4But Jesus said unto them, "A prophet is not without honor, save in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house."
5And He could do no mighty works there, except that He laid His hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them.
6And He marveled because of their unbelief. And He went round about the villages teaching.
7And He called unto Him the twelve, and began to send them forth two by two, and gave them power over unclean spirits,
8and commanded them that they should take nothing for their journey, save a staff only -- no wallet, no bread, and no money in their purse,
9but be shod with sandals, and not put on two coats.
10And He said unto them, "In whatever place ye enter into a house, there abide until ye depart from that place.
11And whosoever shall not receive you nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet as a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, it shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the Day of Judgment than for that city."
12And they went out and preached that men should repent.
13And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many who were sick, and healed them.
14And King Herod heard of Him, for His name was spread abroad. And he said, "John the Baptist has risen from the dead, and therefore these mighty works show forth themselves in him."
15Others said, "It is Elijah," and others said, "It is a prophet, or like one of the prophets."
16But when Herod heard of it, he said, "It is John, whom I beheaded; he is risen from the dead."
17For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon John, and had bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife; for he had married her.
18For John had said unto Herod, "It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother's wife."
19Therefore Herodias had an inward grudge against him and would have killed him, but she could not;
20for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just man and holy, and kept him safe. And when he heard him, he did many things, and heard him gladly.
21And when a convenient day had come, when Herod on his birthday gave a supper for his lords, high officers, and chief officials of Galilee,
22and when the daughter of the said Herodias came in and danced, and pleased Herod and those who sat with him, the king said unto the damsel, "Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt, and I will give it to thee."
23And he swore unto her, "Whatsoever thou shalt ask of me, I will give it to thee, unto the half of my kingdom."
24And she went forth and said unto her mother, "What shall I ask?" And Herodias said, "The head of John the Baptist."
25And she came back straightway with haste unto the king and asked, saying, "I will that thou give me at once on a charger the head of John the Baptist."
26And the king was exceedingly sorry, yet for his oath's sake and for their sakes who sat with him, he would not reject her.
27And immediately the king sent an executioner and commanded John's head to be brought. And he went and beheaded him in prison,
28and brought his head on a charger and gave it to the damsel; and the damsel gave it to her mother.
29And when John's disciples heard of it, they came and took up his corpse and laid it in a tomb.
30And the apostles gathered themselves together unto Jesus and told Him all things, both what they had done and what they had taught.
Mark 7 - 21st Century King James Version
Then came together unto Him the Pharisees and certain of the scribes, who came from Jerusalem.
2And when they saw some of His disciples eat bread with defiled (that is to say, unwashed) hands, they found fault.
3For the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat, unless they wash their hands oft, holding to the tradition of the elders.
4And when they come from the market, they eat not unless they wash; and there are many other customs which they have received and hold to, as the washing of cups, pots, brazen vessels and of tables.
5Then the Pharisees and scribes asked Him, "Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashed hands?"
6He 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.
7Therefore, in vain do they worship Me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.'
8For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold to the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups, and many other like things ye do."
9And He said unto them, "Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.
10For Moses said, `Honor thy father and thy mother,' and, `Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death.'
11But ye say that if a man shall say to his father or mother, `It is Corban' (that is to say, a gift of whatsoever thou mightest have profited from me), he shall be freed;
12and ye suffer him no more to do aught for his father or his mother,
13thus making the Word of God of no effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered. And many like things do ye."
14And when He had called all the people unto Him, He said unto them, "Hearken unto Me every one of you, and understand:
15There is nothing from outside a man that, entering into him, can defile him; but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man.
16If any man have ears to hear, let him hear."
17And when He had entered into the house away from the people, His disciples asked Him concerning the parable.
18And He said unto them, "Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive that whatsoever thing from outside entereth into a man, it cannot defile him,
19because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly and goeth out into the drain, thereby purging all meats?"
20And He said, "That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.
21For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
22thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:
23all these evil things come from within and defile the man."
24And from thence He arose and went into the region of Tyre and Sidon, and entered into a house, and would have no man know about it; but He could not be hid.
25For a certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of Him, and came and fell at His feet.
26The woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by nation, and she besought Him that He would cast forth the devil out of her daughter.
27But 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."
28And she answered and said unto Him, "Yes, Lord, yet the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs."
29And He said unto her, "For this saying go thy way; the devil is gone out of thy daughter."
30And when she had come to her house, she found the devil gone out, and her daughter laid upon the bed.
Mark 8 - 21st Century King James Version
In those days, the multitude being very great and having nothing to eat, Jesus called His disciples unto Him and said unto them,
2"I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been with Me three days and have nothing to eat.
3And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way; for divers of them came from afar."
4And His disciples answered Him, "From whence can a man satisfy these men with bread here in the wilderness?"
5And He asked them, "How many loaves have ye?" And they said, "Seven."
6And He commanded the people to sit down on the ground. And He took the seven loaves and gave thanks and broke, and gave to His disciples to set before them; and they set them before the people.
7And they had a few small fishes, and He blessed them and commanded to set them also before them.
8So they ate and were filled; and they took up of the broken meat that was left, seven baskets.
9And those who had eaten were about four thousand. And He sent them away.
10And straightway He entered into a boat with His disciples and came into the region of Dalmanutha.
11And the Pharisees came forth and began to question with Him, seeking from Him a sign from Heaven, testing Him.
12And He sighed deeply in His spirit and said, "Why doth this generation seek after a sign? Verily I say unto you, there shall no sign be given unto this generation."
13And He left them and, entering into the boat again, departed to the other side.
14Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread, neither had they in the boat with them more than one loaf.
15And He charged them, saying, "Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod."
16And they reasoned among themselves, saying, "It is because we have no bread."
17And when Jesus knew it, He said unto them, "Why reason ye, because ye have no bread? Do ye not yet perceive, nor understand? Have ye your heart yet hardened?
18Having eyes, see ye not? And having ears, hear ye not? And do ye not remember?
19When I broke the five loaves among five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up?" They said unto Him, "Twelve."
20"And when the seven among four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up?" And they said, "Seven."
21And He said unto them, "How is it that ye do not understand?"
22And He came to Bethsaida, and they brought a blind man unto Him, and besought Him to touch him.
23And 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 anything.
24And he looked up and said, "I see men as trees, walking."
25After that He put His hands again upon his eyes and made him look up; and he was restored, and saw every man clearly.
26And He sent him away to his house, saying, "Neither go into the town, nor tell it to any in the town."
27And Jesus went out with His disciples into the towns of Caesarea Philippi; and on the way He asked His disciples, saying unto them, "Who do men say that I am?"
28And they answered, "John the Baptist; but some say Elijah, and others, one of the prophets."
29And He said unto them, "But whom say ye that I am?" And Peter answered and said unto Him, "Thou art the Christ."
30And He charged them that they should tell no man of Him.
Mark 9 - 21st Century King James Version
And He said unto them, "Verily I say unto you, that there are some of them that stand here who shall not taste of death till they have seen the Kingdom of God come with power."
2And after six days Jesus took with Him Peter and James and John, and led them up onto a high mountain apart by themselves; and He was transfigured before them.
3And His raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow, such as no fuller on earth could whiten them.
4And there appeared unto them Elijah with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus.
5And Peter spoke and said to Jesus, "Master, it is good for us to be here. Let us make three tabernacles: one for Thee, one for Moses, and one for Elijah--"
6for he knew not what to say, for they were sore afraid.
7And there was a cloud that overshadowed them; and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, "THIS IS MY BELOVED SON: HEAR HIM!"
8And suddenly when they had looked round about, they saw no man anymore, save Jesus only with them.
9And 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.
10And they kept that saying to themselves, questioning one another what "rising from the dead" should mean.
11And they asked Him, saying, "Why say the scribes that first Elijah must come?"
12And 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.
13But I say unto you that Elijah has indeed come, and they have done unto him whatsoever they pleased, as it is written of him."
14And when He came to His disciples, He saw a great multitude about them and the scribes questioning with them.
15And straightway all the people, when they beheld Him, were greatly amazed; and running to Him, they greeted Him.
16And He asked the scribes, "What question ye with them?"
17And one of the multitude answered and said, "Master, I have brought unto thee my son, who hath a dumb spirit.
18And wheresoever he taketh him, he teareth him; and he foameth and gnasheth his teeth and pineth away. And I spoke to thy disciples that they should cast him out, and they could not."
19Jesus answered him and said, "O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I suffer you? Bring him unto Me."
20And they brought the boy unto Him. And when the spirit saw Him, straightway he tore the boy; and he fell on the ground and wallowed about foaming.
21And He asked his father, "How long is it ago since this came unto him?" And he said, "From childhood.
22And oftentimes 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."
23Jesus said unto him, "If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth."
24And straightway the father of the child cried out and said with tears, "Lord, I believe; help Thou mine unbelief!"
25When 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."
26And the spirit cried, and rent the boy sorely and came out of him; and he was as one dead, insomuch that many said, "He is dead."
27But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up, and he arose.
28And when He had come into the house, His disciples asked Him privately, "Why could not we cast him out?"
29And He said unto them, "This kind can come forth by nothing but by prayer and fasting."
30And they departed thence and passed through Galilee, and He would not that any man should know it.
Mark 10 - 21st Century King James Version
And He rose from thence, and went into the region of Judea by the farther side of the Jordan. And the people resorted unto Him again; and as He was wont, He taught them again.
2And the Pharisees came to Him and asked Him, "Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife?" -- testing Him.
3And He answered and said unto them, "What did Moses command you?"
4And they said, "Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away."
5And Jesus answered and said unto them, "Because of the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept.
6But from the beginning of the creation, 'God made them male and female.
7For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife,
8and the two shall be one flesh.' So then they are no more two, but one flesh.
9What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder."
10And in the house His disciples asked Him again about the same matter.
11And He said unto them, "Whosoever shall put away his wife and marry another, committeth adultery against her.
12And if a woman shall put away her husband and be married to another, she committeth adultery."
13And they brought young children to Him, that He should touch them; and His disciples rebuked those who brought them.
14But 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.
15Verily I say unto you, whosoever shall not receive the Kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein."
16And He took them up in His arms, put His hands upon them, and blessed them.
17And when He had gone forth onto the road, there came one running, and knelt before Him and asked Him, "Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?"
18And Jesus said unto him, "Why callest thou Me good? There is none good but One, that is, God.
19Thou knowest the commandments: `Do not commit adultery, do not kill, do not steal, do not bear false witness, defraud not, honor thy father and mother.'"
20And he answered and said unto Him, "Master, all these have I observed from my youth."
21Then 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."
22And he was sad at that saying and went away grieved, for he had great possessions.
23And Jesus looked round about and said unto His disciples, "How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the Kingdom of God!"
24And the disciples were astonished at His words, but Jesus answered again and said unto them, "Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the Kingdom of God!
25It 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."
26And they were astonished beyond measure, saying among themselves, "Who then can be saved?"
27And Jesus, looking upon them, said, "With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible."
28Then Peter began to say unto Him, "Lo, we have left all and have followed Thee."
29And 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,
30but he shall receive a 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 11 - 21st Century King James Version
And when they came nigh to Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and Bethany at the Mount of Olives, He sent forth two of His disciples
2and said unto them, "Go your way into the village opposite you, and as soon as ye have entered into it, ye shall find a colt tied, whereon man never sat. Loose him and bring him.
3And 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."
4And they went their way and found the colt tied outside by the door at a place where two ways met, and they loosed him.
5And certain of those who stood there said unto them, "What do ye, loosing the colt?"
6And they said unto them even as Jesus had commanded, and they let them go.
7And they brought the colt to Jesus and cast their garments on him, and He sat upon him.
8And many spread their garments upon the way, and others cut down branches off the trees and strewed them upon the way.
9And those who went before, and those who followed, cried, saying, "Hosanna! Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord!
10Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that cometh in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!"
11And Jesus entered into Jerusalem and into the temple. And when He had looked round about upon all things, as now the eventide had come, He went out unto Bethany with the twelve.
12And on the morrow, when they had come from Bethany, He was hungry;
13and seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, He went to see if perhaps He might find any thing thereon. But when He came to it He found nothing but leaves, for the time for figs was not yet.
14And Jesus spoke and said unto it, "Let no man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever." And His disciples heard it.
15And they came to Jerusalem. And Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out those who sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers and the seats of those who sold doves.
16And He would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple.
17And He taught, saying unto them, "Is it not written, `My house shall be called for all nations the house of prayer'? But ye have made it a den of thieves."
18And the scribes and chief priests heard it, and sought how they might destroy Him; for they feared Him, because all the people were astonished at His doctrine.
19And when evening had come, He went out of the city.
20And in the morning as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots.
21And Peter, calling to remembrance, said unto Him, "Master, behold, the fig tree which Thou cursed is withered away."
22And Jesus answering, said unto them, "Have faith in God.
23For 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.
24Therefore I say unto you, what things so ever ye desire when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
25And when ye stand praying, forgive if ye have aught against any, that your Father also who is in Heaven may forgive you your trespasses.
26But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father who is in Heaven forgive your trespasses."
27And they came again to Jerusalem. And as He was walking in the temple, there came to Him the chief priests and the scribes and the elders,
28and said unto Him, "By what authority doest thou these things? And who gave thee this authority to do these things?"
29And Jesus answered and said unto them, "I will also ask of you one question; answer Me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
30The baptism of John: was it from Heaven, or of men? Answer Me."
Mark 12 - 21st Century King James Version
And He began to speak unto them by parables: "A certain man planted a vineyard, and set a hedge about it, and dug a place for the wine vat, and built a watchtower; and he leased it out to husbandmen and went into a far country.
2And at the harvest season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard.
3And they caught him, and beat him, and sent him away empty.
4And 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.
5And again he sent another, and him they killed, and many others, beating some and killing some.
6Having yet therefore one son, his wellbeloved, he sent him also last unto them, saying, `They will reverence my son.'
7But those husbandmen said among themselves, `This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be ours.'
8And they took him and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard.
9What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others.
10And have ye not read this Scripture? `The stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner;
11this was the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes.'"
12And they sought to lay hold on Him, but they feared the people, for they knew that He had spoken the parable against them. And they left Him, and went their way.
13And they sent unto Him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians to catch Him in His words.
14And when they had come, they said 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?
15Shall 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."
16And they brought it, and He said unto them, "Whose image and superscription is this?" And they said unto Him, "Caesar's."
17And 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.
18Then came unto Him the Sadducees, who say that there is no resurrection. And they asked Him, saying,
19"Master, Moses wrote unto us that if a man's brother die, and leave his wife behind him, and leave no children, then his brother should take his wife and raise up seed unto his brother.
20Now there were seven brethren; and the first took a wife, and dying, left no seed.
21And the second took her and died, neither leaving any seed. And the third likewise.
22So the seven had her and left no seed. Last of all the woman died also.
23In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife shall she be, for all seven had her for a wife?"
24And Jesus answering, said unto them, "Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the Scriptures, neither the power of God?
25For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels who are in Heaven.
26And concerning the dead, that they rise: have ye not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spoke unto him, saying, `I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'?
27He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living. Ye therefore do greatly err."
28And 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?"
29And Jesus answered him, "The first of all the commandments is: `Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord.
30And 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 13 - 21st Century King James Version
And as He went out of the temple, one of His disciples said unto Him, "Master, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here!"
2And 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."
3And as He sat on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked Him privately,
4"Tell us, when shall these things be? And what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled?"
5And Jesus answering them, began to say, "Take heed lest any man deceive you.
6For many shall come in My name, saying, `I am Christ!' and shall deceive many.
7And when ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars, be ye not troubled, for such things must come to pass; but the end shall not be yet.
8For 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.
9"But take heed for 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.
10And the Gospel must first be proclaimed among all nations.
11But when then shall lead you and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak; neither need 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.
12Now 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.
13And ye shall be hated by all men for My name's sake; but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
14"But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not be" (let him that readeth understand), "then let them that be in Judea flee to the mountains.
15And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house, neither enter therein to take any thing out of his house.
16And let him that is in the field not turn back again to take up his garment.
17But woe to them that are with child and to them that give suck in those days!
18And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter.
19For in those days shall be affliction such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created until this time, neither shall be.
20And 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.
21And then if any man shall say to you, `Lo, here is Christ!' or, `Lo, He is there!' believe him not;
22for false christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall show signs and wonders to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.
23But take ye heed; behold, I have foretold you all things.
24"But in those days, after that tribulation, `the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,
25and the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken.'
26And then shall they see the Son of Man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.
27And 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.
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.
29So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors.
30Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass till all these things be done.
Mark 14 - 21st Century King James Version
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.
2But they said, "Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar of the people."
3And 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 broke the box and poured it on His head.
4And there were some who were indignant within themselves and said, "Why was this ointment wasted?
5For it might have been sold for more than three hundred pence, and have been given to the poor." And they murmured against her.
6And Jesus said, "Let her alone. Why trouble ye her? She hath wrought a good work on Me.
7For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will, ye may do them good; but Me ye have not always.
8She hath done what she could; she hath come beforehand to anoint My body for burial.
9Verily I say unto you, wheresoever this Gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she hath done shall be spoken of as a memorial of her."
10And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went unto the chief priests to betray Him unto them.
11And when they heard it, they were glad and promised to give him money. And he sought how he might conveniently betray Him.
12And on the first day of Unleavened Bread, when they killed the Passover lamb, His disciples said unto Him, "Where wilt Thou have us go and prepare, that Thou mayest eat the Passover?"
13And He sent forth two of His disciples and said unto them, "Go ye into the city, and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water; follow him.
14And wheresoever he shall go in, say ye to the master of the house, `The Master saith, "Where is the guestchamber where I shall eat the Passover with My disciples?"'
15And he will show you a large upper room furnished and prepared; there make ready for us."
16And His disciples went forth, and came into the city, and found it as He had said unto them; and they made ready the Passover.
17And in the evening He came with the twelve.
18And as they sat and ate, Jesus said, "Verily I say unto you, one of you who eateth with Me shall betray Me."
19And they began to be sorrowful and to say unto Him one by one, "Is it I?" And another said, "Is it I?"
20And He answered and said unto them, "It is one of the twelve that dippeth with Me in the dish.
21The 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."
22And as they ate, Jesus took bread, and blessed and broke it, and gave it to them and said, "Take, eat; this is My body."
23And He took the cup, and when He had given thanks He gave it to them, and they all drank of it.
24And He said unto them, "This is My blood of the new testament, which is shed for many.
25Verily 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."
26And when they had sung a hymn, they went out into the Mount of Olives.
27And Jesus said 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.'
28But after I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee."
29But Peter said unto Him, "Although all shall be offended, yet will I not."
30And Jesus said unto him, "Verily I say unto thee that this day, even in this night, before the cock crows twice, thou shalt deny Me thrice."
Mark 15 - 21st Century King James Version
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.
2And Pilate asked Him, "Art thou the King of the Jews?" And answering He said unto him, "Thou sayest it."
3And the chief priests accused Him of many things, but He answered nothing.
4And Pilate asked Him again, saying, "Answerest thou nothing? Behold how many things they witness against thee."
5But Jesus yet answered nothing, so that Pilate marveled.
6Now at that feast he released unto them one prisoner, whomsoever they desired.
7And there was one named Barabbas, who lay bound with those who had made insurrection with him, and who had committed murder in the insurrection.
8And the multitude, crying aloud, began to desire Pilate to do as he had ever done unto them.
9But Pilate answered them, saying, "Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews?"
10For he knew that the chief priests had delivered Him out of envy.
11But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them.
12And 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?"
13And they cried out again, "Crucify him!"
14Then Pilate said unto them, "Why, what evil hath he done?" But they cried out the more exceedingly, "Crucify him!"
15And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged Him, to be crucified.
16And the soldiers led Him away into the hall called the Praetorium, and they called together the whole detachment.
17And they clothed Him with purple, and they platted a crown of thorns and put it about His head,
18and began to salute Him, "Hail, King of the Jews!"
19And they smote Him on the head with a reed and spat upon Him and, bowing their knees, worshiped Him.
20And 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.
21And they compelled one Simon, a Cyrenian, the father of Alexander and Rufus, who was passing by, coming from the country, to bear His cross.
22And they brought Him unto the place called Golgotha (which is, being interpreted, The Place of a Skull).
23And they gave Him to drink wine mingled with myrrh, but He received it not.
24And when they had crucified Him, they parted His garments, casting lots for them to see what every man should take.
25And it was the third hour when they crucified Him.
26And the superscription of His accusation was written above: THE KING OF THE JEWS.
27And with Him they crucified two thieves, the one on His right hand and the other on His left.
28And the Scripture was fulfilled which saith, "And He was numbered with the transgressors."
29And those who passed by railed at Him, wagging their heads and saying, "Ah, thou that destroyest the temple and buildest it in three days,
30save thyself and come down from the cross!"
Mark 16 - 21st Century King James Version
And when the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint Him.
2And very early in the morning on the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulcher at the rising of the sun.
3And they said among themselves, "Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulcher?"
4And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away, for it was very large.
5And entering into the sepulcher, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were frightened.
6And he said unto them, "Be not afraid. Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He is risen! He is not here. Behold the place where they laid Him.
7But 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."
8And 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.
9Now 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.
10And she went and told those who had been with Him, as they mourned and wept.
11And they, when they heard that He was alive and had been seen by her, believed not.
12After that, He appeared in another form unto two of them as they walked and went into the country.
13And they went and told it unto the rest, but neither did they believe them.
14Afterward He appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat; and He upbraided them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not those who had seen Him after He was risen.
15And He said unto them, "Go ye into all the world, and preach the Gospel to every creature.
16He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
17And these signs shall follow them that believe: In My name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
18they shall take up serpents, and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them. They shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover."
19So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, He was received up into Heaven, and sat at the right hand of God.
20And they went forth and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the Word with signs following. Amen.
