MARK + +St. Mark, the disciple and interpreter of St. Peter (saith St. Jerome), +according to what he heard from Peter himself, wrote at Rome a brief +Gospel at the request of the Brethren, about ten years after our lord's +Ascension; which when Peter had heard, he approved of it and with his +authority published it to the church to be read. Baronius and others say +that the original was written in Latin: but the more general opinion is +that the Evangelist wrote it in Greek. + + +Mark Chapter 1 + +The preaching of John the Baptist. Christ is baptized by him. He calls +his disciples and works many miracles. + +1:1. The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. + +1:2. As it is written in Isaias the prophet: Behold I send my angel +before thy face, who shall prepare the way before thee. + +1:3. A voice of one crying in the desert: Prepare ye the way of the +Lord; make straight his paths. + +1:4. John was in the desert, baptizing and preaching the baptism of +penance, unto remission of sins. + +1:5. And there went out to him all the country of Judea and all they of +Jerusalem and were baptized by him in the river of Jordan, confessing +their sins. + +1:6. And John was clothed camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about his +loins: and he ate locusts and wild honey. + +1:7. And he preached, saying: There cometh after me one mightier than I, +the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and loose. + +1:8. I have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the +Holy Ghost. + +1:9. And it came to pass, in those days, Jesus came from Nazareth of +Galilee and was baptized by John in Jordan. + +1:10. And forthwith coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens open +and the Spirit as a dove descending and remaining on him. + +1:11. And there came a voice from heaven: Thou art my beloved Son; in +thee I am well pleased. + +1:12. And immediately the Spirit drove him out into the desert. + +1:13. And he was in the desert forty days and forty nights, and was +tempted by Satan. And he was with beasts: and the angels ministered to +him. + +1:14. And after that John was delivered up, Jesus came in Galilee, +preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, + +1:15. And saying: The time is accomplished and the kingdom of God is at +hand. Repent and believe the gospel: + +1:16. And passing by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his +brother, casting nets into the sea for they were fishermen. + +1:17. And Jesus said to them: Come after me; and I will make you to +become fishers of men. + +1:18. And immediately leaving their nets, they followed him. + +1:19. And going on from thence a little farther, he saw James the son of +Zebedee and John his brother, who also were mending their nets in the +ship: + +1:20. And forthwith he called them. And leaving their father Zebedee in +the ship with his hired men, they followed him. + +1:21. And they entered into Capharnaum: and forthwith upon the sabbath +days going into the synagogue, he taught them. + +1:22. And they were astonished at his doctrine. For he was teaching them +as one having power, and not as the scribes. + +1:23. And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and +he cried out, + +1:24. Saying: What have we to do with thee, Jesus of Nazareth? Art thou +come to destroy us? I know who thou art, the Holy One of God. + +1:25. And Jesus threatened him, saying: Speak no more, and go out of the +man. + +1:26. And the unclean spirit, tearing him and crying out with a loud +voice, went out of him. + +1:27. And they were all amazed insomuch that they questioned among +themselves, saying: What thing is this? What is this new doctrine? For +with power he commandeth even the unclean spirits: and they obey him. + +1:28. And the fame of him was spread forthwith into all the country of +Galilee. + +1:29. And immediately going out of the synagogue they came into the +house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. + +1:30. And Simon's wife's mother lay in a fit of a fever: and forthwith +they tell him of her. + +1:31. And coming to her, he lifted her up, taking her by the hand; and +immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them. + +1:32. And when it was evening, after sunset, they brought to him all +that were ill and that were possessed with devils. + +1:33. And all the city was gathered together at the door. + +1:34. And he healed many that were troubled with divers diseases. And +he cast out many devils: and he suffered them not to speak, because they +knew him. + +1:35. And rising very early, going out, he went into a desert place: and +there he prayed. + +1:36. And Simon and they that were with him followed after him. + +1:37. And when they had found him, they said to him: All seek for thee. + +1:38. And he saith to them: Let us go into the neighbouring towns and +cities, that I may preach there also; for to this purpose am I come. + +1:39. And he was preaching in their synagogues and in all Galilee and +casting out devils. + +1:40. And there came a leper to him, beseeching him and kneeling down, +said to him: If thou wilt thou canst make me clean. + +1:41. And Jesus, having compassion on him, stretched forth his hand and +touching him saith to him: I will. Be thou made clean. + +1:42. And when he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him: +and he was made clean. + +1:43. And he strictly charged him and forthwith sent him away. + +1:44. And he saith to him: See thou tell no one; but go, shew thyself to +the high priest and offer for thy cleansing the things that Moses +commanded, for a testimony to them. + +1:45. But he being gone out, began to publish and to blaze abroad the +word: so that he could not openly go into the city, but was without in +desert places. And they flocked to him from all sides. + +Mark Chapter 2 + +Christ heals the sick of the palsy. He calls Matthew and excuses his +disciples. + +2:1. And again he entered into Capharnaum after some days. + +2:2. And it was heard that he was in the house. And many came together, +so that there was no room: no, not even at the door. And he spoke to +them the word. + +2:3. And they came to him, bringing one sick of the palsy, who was +carried by four. + +2:4. And when they could not offer him unto him for the multitude, they +uncovered the roof where he was: and opening it, they let down the bed +wherein the man sick of the palsy lay. + +2:5. And when Jesus had seen their faith, he saith to the sick of the +palsy: Son, thy sins are forgiven thee. + +2:6. And there were some of the scribes sitting there and thinking in +their hearts: + +2:7. Why doth this man speak thus? He blasphemeth. Who can forgive sins, +but God only? + +2:8. Which Jesus presently knowing in his spirit that they so thought +within themselves, saith to them: Why think you these things in your +hearts? + +2:9. Which is easier, to say to the sick of the palsy: Thy sins are +forgiven thee; or to say: Arise, take up thy bed and walk? + +2:10. But that you may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to +forgive sins (he saith to the sick of the palsy): + +2:11. I say to thee: Arise. Take up thy bed and go into thy house. + +2:12. And immediately he arose and, taking up his bed, went his way in +the sight of all: so that all wondered and glorified God, saying: We +never saw the like. + +2:13. And he went forth again to the sea side: and all the multitude +came to him. And he taught them. + +2:14. And when he was passing by, he saw Levi, the son of Alpheus, +sitting at the receipt of custom; and he saith to him: Follow me. And +rising up, he followed him. + +2:15. And it came to pass as he sat at meat in his house, many Publicans +and sinners sat down together with Jesus and his disciples. For they, +with Jesus who also followed him. For they were many, who also followed +him. + +2:16. And the scribes and the Pharisees, seeing that he ate with +publicans and sinners, said to his disciples: Why doth your master eat +and drink with publicans and sinners? + +2:17. Jesus hearing this, saith to them: They that are well have no need +of a physician, but they that are sick. For I came not to call the just, +but sinners. + +2:18. And the disciples of John and the Pharisees used to fast. And +they come and say to him: Why do the disciples of John and of the +Pharisees fast; but thy disciples do not fast? + +2:19. And Jesus saith to them: Can the children of the marriage fast, as +long as the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom +with them, they cannot fast. + +2:20. But the days will come when the bridegroom shall be taken away +from them: and then they shall fast in those days. + +2:21. No man seweth a piece of raw cloth to an old garment: otherwise +the new piecing taketh away from the old, and there is made a greater +rent. + +2:22. And no man putteth new wine into old bottles: otherwise the wine +will burst the bottles, and both the wine will be spilled and the +bottles will be lost. But new wine must be put into new bottles. + +2:23. And it came to pass again, as the Lord walked through the corn +fields on the sabbath, that his disciples began to go forward and to +pluck the ears of corn. + +2:24. And the Pharisees said to him: Behold, why do they on the sabbath +day that which is not lawful? + +2:25. And he said to them: Have you never read what David did when he +had need and was hungry, himself and they that were with him? + +2:26. How he went into the house of God, under Abiathar the high priest, +and did eat the loaves of proposition, which was not lawful to eat but +for the priests, and gave to them who were with him? + +2:27. And he said to them: The sabbath was made for man, and not man for +the sabbath. + +2:28. Therefore the Son of man is Lord of the sabbath also. + +Mark Chapter 3 + +Christ heals the withered hand. He chooses the twelve. He confutes the +blasphemy of the Pharisees. + +3:1. And he entered again into the synagogue: and there was a man there +who had a withered hand. + +3:2. And they watched him whether he would heal on the sabbath days, +that they might accuse him. + +3:3. And he said to the man who had the withered hand: Stand up in the +midst. + +3:4. And he saith to them: Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, +or to do evil? To save life, or to destroy? But they held their peace. + +3:5. And looking round about on them with anger, being grieved for the +blindness of their hearts, he saith to the man: Stretch forth thy hand. +And he stretched it forth: and his hand was restored unto him. + +3:6. And the Pharisees going out, immediately made a consultation with +the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him. + +3:7. But Jesus retired with his disciples to the sea; and a great +multitude followed him from Galilee and Judea, + +3:8. And from Jerusalem, and from Idumea and from beyond the Jordan. And +they about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, hearing the things which +he did, came to him. + +3:9. And he spoke to his disciples that a small ship should wait on him, +because of the multitude, lest they should throng him. + +3:10. For he healed many, so that they pressed upon him for to touch +him, as many as had evils. + +3:11. And the unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down before him: +and they cried, saying: + +3:12. Thou art the Son of God. And he strictly charged them that they +should not make him known. + +3:13. And going up into a mountain, he called unto him whom he would +himself: and they came to him. + +3:14. And he made that twelve should be with him, and that he might send +them to preach. + +3:15. And he gave them power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils. + +3:16. And to Simon he gave the name Peter: + +3:17. And James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James; and +he named them Boanerges, which is, The sons of thunder. + +3:18. And Andrew and Philip, and Bartholomew and Matthew, and Thomas and +James of Alpheus, and Thaddeus and Simon the Cananean: + +3:19. And Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him. + +3:20. And they come to a house, and the multitude cometh together again, +so that they could not so much as eat bread. + +3:21. And when his friends had heard of it, they went out to lay hold on +him. For they said: He is become mad. + +3:22. And the scribes who were come down from Jerusalem, said: He hath +Beelzebub, and by the prince of devils he casteth out devils. + +3:23. And after he had called them together, he said to them in +parables: How can Satan cast out Satan? + +3:24. And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot +stand. + +3:25. And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand. + +3:26. And if Satan be risen up against himself, he is divided, and +cannot stand, but hath an end. + +3:27. No man can enter into the house of a strong man and rob him of his +goods, unless he first bind the strong man, and then shall he plunder +his house. + +3:28. Amen I say to you that all sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of +men, and the blasphemies wherewith they shall blaspheme: + +3:29. But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost, shall never +have forgiveness, but shall be guilty of an everlasting sin. + +3:30. Because they said: He hath an unclean spirit. + +3:31. And his mother and his brethren came; and standing without, sent +unto him, calling him. + +3:32. And the multitude sat about him; and they say to him: Behold thy +mother and thy brethren without seek for thee. + +3:33. And answering them, he said: Who is my mother and my brethren? + +3:34. And looking round about on them who sat about him, he saith: +Behold my mother and my brethren. + +3:35. For whosoever shall do the will of God, he is my brother, and my +sister, and mother. + +Mark Chapter 4 + +The parable of the sower. Christ stills the tempest at sea. + +4:1. And again he began to teach by the sea side; and a great multitude +was gathered together unto him, so that he went up into a ship and sat +in the sea: and all the multitude was upon the land by the sea side. + +4:2. And he taught them many things in parables, and said unto them in +his doctrine: + +4:3. Hear ye: Behold, the sower went out to sow. + +4:4. And whilst he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the birds of +the air came and ate it up. + +4:5. And other some fell upon stony ground, where it had not much earth; +and it shot up immediately, because it had no depth of earth. + +4:6. And when the sun was risen, it was scorched; and because it had no +root, it withered away. + +4:7. And some fell among thorns; and the thorns grew up, and choked it, +and it yielded no fruit. + +4:8. And some fell upon good ground; and brought forth fruit that grew +up, and increased and yielded, one thirty, another sixty, and another a +hundred. + +4:9. And he said: He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. + +4:10. And when he was alone, the twelve that were with him asked him the +parable. + +4:11. And he said to them: To you it is given to know the mystery of the +kingdom of God: but to them that are without, all things are done in +parables: + +4:12. That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may +hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and +their sins should be forgiven them. + +That seeing they may see, etc... in punishment of their wilfully +shutting their eyes, (St. Matt. 13. 15,) God justly withdrew those +lights and graces, which otherwise he would have given them, for their +effectual conversion. + +4:13. And he saith to them: Are you ignorant of this, parable? and how +shall you know all parables? + +4:14. He that soweth, soweth the word. + +4:15. And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown, and as +soon as they have heard, immediately Satan cometh and taketh away the +word that was sown in their hearts. + +4:16. And these likewise are they that are sown on the stony ground: who +when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with joy. + +4:17. And they have no root in themselves, but are only for a time: and +then when tribulation and persecution ariseth for the word they are +presently scandalized. + +4:18. And others there are who are sown among thorns: these are they +that hear the word, + +4:19. And the cares of the world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and +the lusts after other things entering in choke the word, and it is made +fruitless. + +4:20. And these are they who are sown upon the good ground, who hear the +word, and receive it, and yield fruit, the one thirty, another sixty, +and another a hundred. + +4:21. And he said to them: Doth a candle come in to be put under a +bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick? + +4:22. For there is nothing hid, which shall not be made manifest: +neither was it made secret, but that it may come abroad. + +4:23. If any man have ears to hear, let him hear. + +4:24. And he said to them: Take heed what you hear. In what measure you +shall mete, it shall be measured to you again, and more shall be given +to you. + +4:25. For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, +that also which he hath shall be taken away from him. + +4:26. And he said: So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast +seed into the earth, + +4:27. And should sleep, and rise, night and day, and the seed should +spring, and grow up whilst he knoweth not. + +4:28. For the earth of itself bringeth forth fruit, first the blade, +then the ear, afterwards the full corn in the ear. + +4:29. And when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the +sickle, because the harvest is come. + +4:30. And he said: To what shall we liken the kingdom of God? or to what +parable shall we compare it? + +4:31. It is as a grain of mustard seed: which when it is sown in the +earth, is less than all the seeds that are in the earth: + +4:32. And when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all +herbs, and shooteth out great branches, so that the birds of the air may +dwell under the shadow thereof. + +4:33. And with many such parables, he spoke to them the word, according +as they were able to hear. + +4:34. And without parable he did not speak unto them; but apart, he +explained all things to his disciples. + +4:35. And he saith to them that day, when evening was come: Let us pass +over to the other side. + +4:36. And sending away the multitude, they take him even as he was in +the ship: and there were other ships with him. + +4:37. And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the +ship, so that the ship was filled. + +4:38. And he was in the hinder part of the ship, sleeping upon a pillow; +and they awake him, and say to him: Master, doth, it not concern thee +that we perish? + +4:39. And rising up, he rebuked the wind, and said to the sea: Peace, be +still. And the wind ceased: and there was made a great calm. + +4:40. And he said to them: Why are you fearful? have you not faith yet? +And they feared exceedingly: and they said one to another: Who is this +(thinkest thou) that both wind and sea obey him? + +Mark Chapter 5 + +Christ casts out a legion of devils: he heals the issue of blood, and +raises the daughter of Jairus to life. + +5:1. And they came over the strait of the sea, into the country of the +Gerasens. + +5:2. And as he went out of the ship, immediately there met him out of +the monuments a man with an unclean spirit, + +5:3. Who had his dwelling in the tombs, and no man now could bind him, +not even with chains. + +5:4. For having been often bound with fetters and chains, he had burst +the chains, and broken the fetters in pieces, and no one could tame him. + +5:5. And he was always day and night in the monuments and in the +mountains, crying and cutting himself with stones. + +5:6. And seeing Jesus afar off, he ran and adored him. + +5:7. And crying with a loud voice, he said: What have I to do with thee, +Jesus the Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God that thou +torment me not. + +5:8. For he said unto him: Go out of the man, thou unclean spirit. + +5:9. And he asked him: What is thy name? And he saith to him: My name is +Legion, for we are many. + +5:10. And he besought him much, that he would not drive him away out of +the country. + +5:11. And there was there near the mountain a great herd of swine, +feeding. + +5:12. And the spirits besought him, saying: Send us into the swine, that +we may enter into them. + +5:13. And Jesus immediately gave them leave. And the unclean spirits +going out, entered into the swine: and the herd with great violence was +carried headlong into the sea, being about two thousand, were stifled in +the sea. + +5:14. And they that fed them fled, and told it in the city and in the +fields. And they went out to see what was done: + +5:15. And they came to Jesus, and they see him that was troubled with +the devil, sitting, clothed, and well in his wits, and they were afraid. + +5:16. And they that had seen it, told them, in what manner he had been +dealt with who had the devil; and concerning the swine. + +5:17. And they began to pray him that he would depart from their coasts. + +5:18. And when he went up into the ship, he that had been troubled with +the devil, began to beseech him that he might be with him. + +5:19. And he admitted him not, but saith him: Go into thy house to thy +friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and +hath had mercy thee. + +5:20. And he went his way, and began to publish in Decapolis how great +things Jesus had done for him: and all men wondered. + +5:21. And when Jesus had passed again in the ship over the strait, a +great multitude assembled together unto him, and he was nigh unto the +sea. + +5:22. And there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue named Jairus: +and seeing him, falleth down at his feet. + +5:23. And he besought him much, saying: My daughter is at the point of +death, come, lay thy hand upon her, that she may be safe, and may live. + +5:24. And he went with him, and a great multitude followed him, and they +thronged him. + +5:25. And a woman who was under an issue of blood twelve years, + +5:26. And had suffered many things from many physicians; and had spent +all that she had, and was nothing the better, but rather worse, + +5:27. When she had heard of Jesus, came in the crowd behind him, and +touched his garment. + +5:28. For she said: If I shall touch but his garment, I shall be whole. + +5:29. And forthwith the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt +in her body that she was healed of the evil. + +5:30. And immediately Jesus knowing in himself the virtue that had +proceeded from him, turning to the multitude, said: Who hath touched my +garments? + +5:31. And his disciples said to him: Thou seest the multitude thronging +thee, and sayest thou who hath touched me? + +5:32. And he looked about to see her who had done this. + +5:33. But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, +came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth. + +5:34. And he said to her: Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole: go +in peace, and be thou whole of thy disease. + +5:35. While he was yet speaking, some come from the ruler of the +synagogue's house, saying: Thy daughter is dead: why dost thou trouble +the master any further? + +5:36. But Jesus having heard the word that was spoken, saith to the +ruler of the synagogue: Fear not, only believe. + +5:37. And he admitted not any man to follow him, but Peter, and James, +and John the brother of James. + +5:38. And they cone to the house of the ruler of the synagogue; and he +seeth a tumult, and people weeping and wailing much. + +5:39. And going in, he saith to them Why make you this ado, and weep? +the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth. + +5:40. And they laughed him to scorn. But he having put them all out, +taketh the father and the mother of the damsel, and them that were with +him, and entereth in where the damsel was lying. + +5:41. And taking the damsel by the hand, he saith to her: Talitha cumi, +which is, being interpreted: Damsel (I say to thee) arise. + +5:42. And immediately the damsel rose up, and walked: and she was twelve +years old: and they were astonished with a great astonishment. + +5:43. And he charged them strictly that no man should know it: and +commanded that something should be given her to eat. + +Mark Chapter 6 + +Christ teaches at Nazareth: he sends forth the twelve apostles: he feeds +five thousand with five loaves; and walks upon the sea. + +6:1. And going out from thence, he went into his own country; and his +disciples followed him. + +6:2. And when the Sabbath was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: +and many hearing him were in admiration at his doctrine, saying: How +came this man by all these things? and what wisdom is this that is given +to him, and such mighty works as are wrought by his hands? + +6:3. Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, +and Joseph, and Jude, and Simon? are not also his sisters here with us? +And they were scandalized in regard of him. + +6:4. And Jesus said to them: A prophet is not without honour, but in his +own country, and in his own house, and among his own kindred. + +6:5. And he could not do any miracles there, only that he cured a few +that were sick, laying his hands upon them. + +He could not... Not for want of power, but because he would not work +miracles in favour of obstinate and incredulous people, who were +unworthy of such favours. + +6:6. And he wondered because of their unbelief, and he went through the +villages round about teaching. + +6:7. And he called the twelve; and began to send them two and two, and +gave them power over unclean spirits. + +6:8. And he commanded them that they should take nothing for the way, +but a staff only; no scrip, no bread, nor money in their purse, + +6:9. But to be shod with sandals, and that they should not put on two +coats. + +6:10. And he said to them: Wheresoever you shall enter into an house, +there abide till you depart from that place. + +6:11. And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you; going forth +from thence, shake off the dust from your feet for a testimony to them. + +6:12. And going forth they preached men should do penance: + +6:13. And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that +were sick, and healed them. + +6:14. And king Herod heard, (for his name was made manifest,) and he +said: John the Baptist is risen again from dead, and therefore mighty +works shew forth themselves in him. + +6:15. And others said: It is Elias. But others said: It is a prophet, as +one of the prophets. + +6:16. Which Herod hearing, said: John whom I beheaded, he is risen again +from the dead. + +6:17. For Herod himself had sent and apprehended John, and bound him +prison for the sake of Herodias the wife of Philip his brother, because +he had married her. + +6:18. For John said to Herod: It is not lawful for thee to have thy +brother's wife. + +6:19. Now Herodias laid snares for him: and was desirous to put him to +death and could not. + +6:20. For Herod feared John, knowing him to be a just and holy man: and +kept him, and when he heard him, did many things: and he heard him +willingly. + +And kept him... That is, from the designs of Herodias; and for fear of +the people, would not put him to death, though she sought it; and +through her daughter she effected her wish. + +6:21. And when a convenient day was come, Herod made a supper for his +birthday, for the princes, and tribunes, and chief men of Galilee. + +6:22. And when the daughter of the same Herodias had come in, and had +danced, and pleased Herod, and them that were at table with him, the +king said to the damsel: Ask of me what thou wilt, and I will give it +thee. + +6:23. And he swore to her: Whatsoever thou shalt ask I will give thee, +though it be the half of my kingdom. + +6:24. Who when she was gone out, said to her mother, What shall I ask? +But her mother said: The head of John the Baptist. + +6:25. And when she was come in immediately with haste to the king, she +asked, saying: I will that forthwith thou give me in a dish, the head of +John the Baptist. + +6:26. And the king was struck sad. Yet because of his oath, and because +of them that were with him at table, he would not displease her: + +6:27. But sending an executioner, he commanded that his head should be +brought in a dish. + +6:28. And he beheaded him in the prison, and brought his head in a dish: +and gave to the damsel, and the damsel gave it her mother. + +6:29. Which his disciples hearing came, and took his body, and laid it +in a tomb. + +6:30. And the apostles coming together unto Jesus, related to him all +things that they had done and taught. + +6:31. And he said to them: Come apart into a desert place, and rest a +little. For there were many coming and going: and they had not so much +as time to eat. + +6:32. And going up into a ship, they went into a desert place apart. + +6:33. And they saw them going away, and many knew: and they ran flocking +thither foot from all the cities, and were there before them. + +6:34. And Jesus going out saw a great multitude: and he had compassion +on them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd, and he began +to teach them many things. + +6:35. And when the day was now far spent, his disciples came to him, +saying: This is a desert place, and the hour is now past: + +6:36. Send them away, that going into the next villages and towns, they +may buy themselves meat to eat. + +6:37. And he answering said to them: Give you them to eat. And they said +to him: Let us go and buy bread for two hundred pence, and we will give +them to eat. + +6:38. And he saith to them: How many loaves have you? go and see. And +when they knew, they say: Five, and two fishes. + +6:39. And he commanded them that they should make them all sit down by +companies upon the green grass. + +6:40. And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds and by fifties. + +6:41. And when he had taken the five loaves, and the two fishes: looking +up to heaven, he blessed, and broke the loaves, and gave to his +disciples to set before them: and the two fishes he divided among them +all. + +6:42. And they all did eat, and had their fill. + +6:43. And they took up the leavings, twelve full baskets of fragments, +and of the fishes. + +6:44. And they that did eat, were five thousand men. + +6:45. And immediately he obliged his disciples to go up into the ship, +that they might go before him over the water to Bethsaida, whilst he +dismissed the people. + +6:46. And when he had dismissed them, he went up to the mountain to +pray, + +6:47. And when it was late, the ship was in the midst of the sea, and +himself alone on the land. + +6:48. And seeing them labouring in rowing, (for the wind was against +them,) and about the fourth watch of the night, he cometh to them +walking upon the sea, and he would have passed by them. + +6:49. But they seeing him walking upon the sea, thought it was an +apparition, and they cried out. + +6:50. For they all saw him, and were troubled bled. And immediately he +spoke with them, and said to them: Have a good heart, it is I, fear ye +not. + +6:51. And he went up to them into the ship, and the wind ceased: and +they were far more astonished within themselves: + +6:52. For they understood not concerning the loaves; for their heart was +blinded. + +6:53. And when they had passed over, they came into the land of +Genezareth, and set to the shore. + +6:54. And when they were gone out of the ship, immediately they knew +him: + +6:55. And running through that whole country, they began to carry about +in beds those that were sick, where they heard he was. + +6:56. And whithersoever he entered, into towns or into villages or +cities, they laid the sick in the streets, and besought him that they +might touch but the hem of his garment: and as many as touched him were +made whole. + +Mark Chapter 7 + +Christ rebukes the Pharisees. He heals the daughter of the woman of +Chanaan; and the man that was deaf and dumb. + +7:1. And there assembled together unto him the Pharisees and some of the +scribes, coming from Jerusalem. + +7:2. And when they had seen some of his disciples eat bread with common, +that is, with unwashed hands, they found fault. + +7:3. For the Pharisees and all the Jews eat not without often washing +their hands, holding the tradition of the ancients. + +7:4. And when they come from the market, unless they be washed, they eat +not: and many other things there are that have been delivered to them to +observe, the washings of cups and of pots and of brazen vessels and of +beds. + +7:5. And the Pharisees and scribes asked him: Why do not thy disciples +walk according to the tradition of the ancients, but they eat bread with +common hands? + +7:6. But he answering, said to them: Well did Isaias prophesy of you +hypocrites, as it is written: This people honoureth me with their lips, +but their heart is far from me. + +7:7. And in vain do they worship me, teaching doctrines and precepts of +men. + +Doctrines and precepts of men... See the annotations, Matt. 15. 9, 11. + +7:8. For leaving the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men, +the washing of pots and of cups: and many other things you do like to +these. + +7:9. And he said to them: Well do you make void the commandment of God, +that you may keep your own tradition. + +7:10. For Moses said: Honour thy father and thy mother. And He that +shall curse father or mother, dying let him die. + +7:11. But you say: If a man shall say to his father or mother, Corban +(which is a gift) whatsoever is from me shall profit thee. + +7:12. And further you suffer him not to do any thing for his father or +mother, + +7:13. Making void the word of God by your own tradition, which you have +given forth. And many other such like things you do. + +7:14. And calling again the multitude unto him, he said to them: Hear ye +me all and understand. + +7:15. There is nothing from without a man that entering into him can +defile him. But the things which come from a man, those are they that +defile a man. + +7:16. If any man have ears to hear, let him hear. + +7:17. And when he was come into the house from the multitude, his +disciples asked him the parable. + +7:18. And he saith to them: So are you also without knowledge? +Understand you not that every thing from without entering into a man +cannot defile him: + +7:19. Because it entereth not into his heart but goeth into his belly +and goeth out into the privy, purging all meats? + +7:20. But he said that the things which come out from a man, they defile +a man. + +7:21. For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, +adulteries, fornications, murders, + +7:22. Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil +eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness. + +7:23. All these evil things come from within and defile a man. + +7:24. And rising from thence he went into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon: +and entering into a house, he would that no man should know it. And he +could not be hid. + +7:25. For a woman as soon as she heard of him, whose daughter had an +unclean spirit, came in and fell down at his feet. + +7:26. For the woman was a Gentile, a Syrophenician born. And she +besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter. + +7:27. Who said to her: suffer first the children to be filled: for it is +not good to take the bread of the children and cast it to the dogs. + +7:28. But she answered and said to him: Yea, Lord; for the whelps also +eat under the table of the crumbs of the children. + +7:29. And he said to her: For this saying, go thy way. The devil is gone +out of thy daughter. + +7:30. And when she was come into her house, she found the girl lying +upon the bed and that the devil was gone out. + +7:31. And again going out of the coasts of Tyre, he came by Sidon to the +sea of Galilee, through the midst the of the coasts of Decapolis. + +7:32. And they bring to him one deaf and dumb: and they besought him +that he would lay his hand upon him. + +7:33. And taking him from the multitude apart, he put his fingers into +his ears: and spitting, he touched his tongue. + +7:34. And looking up to heaven, he groaned and said to him: Ephpheta, +which is, Be thou opened. + +7:35. And immediately his ears were opened and the string of his tongue +was loosed and he spoke right. + +7:36. And he charged them that they should tell no man. But the more he +charged them, so much the more a great deal did they publish it. + +7:37. And so much the more did they wonder, saying: He hath done all +things well. He hath made both the deaf to hear and the dumb to speak. + +Mark Chapter 8 + +Christ feeds four thousand. He gives sight to a blind man. He foretells +his passion. + +8:1. In those days again, when there was great multitude and they had +nothing to eat; calling his disciples together, he saith to them: + +8:2. I have compassion on the multitude, for behold they have now been +with me three days and have nothing to eat. + +8:3. And if I shall send them away fasting to their home, they will +faint in the way: for some of them came from afar off. + +8:4. And his disciples answered him: From whence can any one fill them +here with bread in the wilderness? + +8:5. And he asked them: How many loaves have ye? Who said: Seven. + +8:6. And he commanded the people to sit down on the ground. And taking +the seven loaves, giving thanks, he broke and gave to his disciples for +to set before them. And they set them before the people. + +8:7. And they had a few little fishes: and he blessed them and commanded +them to be set before them. + +8:8. And they did eat and were filled: and they took up that which was +left of the fragments, seven baskets. + +8:9. And they that had eaten were about four thousand. And he sent them +away. + +8:10. And immediately going up into a ship with his disciples, he came +into the parts of Dalmanutha. + +8:11. And the Pharisees came forth and began to question with him, +asking him a sign from heaven, tempting him. + +8:12. And sighing deeply in spirit, he saith: Why doth this generation +seek a sign? Amen, I say to you, a sign shall not be given to this +generation. + +8:13. And leaving them, he went up again into the ship and passed to the +other side of the water. + +8:14. And they forgot to take bread: and they had but one loaf with them +in the ship. + +8:15. And he charged them saying: Take heed and beware of the leaven of +the Pharisees and of the leaven of Herod. + +8:16. And they reasoned among themselves, saying: Because we have no +bread. + +8:17. Which Jesus knowing, saith to them: Why do you reason, because you +have no bread? Do you not yet know nor understand? Have you still your +heart blinded? + +8:18. Having eyes, see you not? And having ears, hear you not? Neither +do you remember? + +8:19. When I broke the five loves among five thousand, how many baskets +full of fragments took you up? They say to him: Twelve. + +8:20. When also the seven loaves among four thousand, how many baskets +of fragments took you up? And they say to him: Seven. + +8:21. And he said to them: How do you not yet understand? + +8:22. And they came to Bethsaida: and they bring to him a blind man. And +they besought him that he would touch him. + +8:23. And taking the blind man by the hand, he led him out of the town. +And spitting upon his eyes, laying his hands on him, he asked him if he +saw any thing. + +8:24. And looking up, he said: I see men, as it were trees, walking. + +8:25. After that again he laid his hands upon his eyes: and he began to +see and was restored, so that he saw all things clearly. + +8:26. And he sent him into his house, saying: Go into thy house, and if +thou enter into the town, tell nobody. + +8:27. And Jesus went out, and his disciples into the towns of Caesarea +Philippi. And in the way, he asked his disciples, saying to them: Whom +do men say that I am? + +8:28. Who answered him, saying: John the Baptist; but some Elias, and +others as one of the prophets. + +8:29. Then he saith to them: But whom do you say that I am? Peter +answering said to him: Thou art the Christ. + +8:30. And he strictly charged them that they should not tell any man of +him. + +8:31. And he began to teach them that the Son of man must suffer many +things and be rejected by the ancients and by the high priests and the +scribes: and be killed and after three days rise again. + +8:32. And he spoke the word openly. And Peter taking him began to rebuke +him. + +8:33. Who turning about and seeing his disciples, threatened Peter, +saying: Go behind me, Satan, because thou savourest not the things that +are of God but that are of men. + +8:34. And calling the multitude together with his disciples, he said to +them: If any man will follow me, let him deny himself and take up his +cross and follow me. + +8:35. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever +shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel shall save it. + +8:36. For what shall it profit a man, if he gain the whole world and +suffer the loss of his soul? + +8:37. Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul: + +8:38. For he that shall be ashamed of me and of my words, in this +adulterous and sinful generation: the Son of man also will be ashamed of +him, when he shall come in the glory of his Father with the holy angels. + +8:39. And he said to them: Amen f say to you that there are some of them +that stand here who shall not taste death till they see the kingdom of +God coming in power. + +Mark Chapter 9 + +Christ is transfigured. He casts out the dumb spirit. He teaches +humility and to avoid scandal. + +9:1. And after six days, Jesus taketh with him Peter and James and John, +and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves, and was +transfigured before them. + +9:2. And his garments became shining and exceeding white as snow, so as +no fuller upon earth can make white. + +9:3. And there appeared to them Elias with Moses: and they were talking +with Jesus. + +9:4. And Peter answering, said to Jesus: Rabbi, it is good for us to be +here. And let us make three tabernacles, one for thee, and one for +Moses, and one for Elias. + +9:5. For he knew not what he said: for they were struck with fear. + +9:6. And there was a cloud overshadowing them. And a voice came out of +the cloud, saying: This is my most beloved Son. Hear ye him. + +9:7. And immediately looking about, they saw no man any more, but Jesus +only with them. + +9:8. And as they came down from the mountain, he charged them not to +tell any man what things they had seen, till the Son of man shall be +risen again from the dead. + +9:9. And they kept the word to themselves; questioning together what +that should mean, when he shall be risen from the dead. + +9:10. And they asked him, saying: Why then do the Pharisees and scribes +say that Elias must come first? + +9:11. Who answering, said to then: Elias, when he shall come first, +shall restore all things; and as it is written of the Son of man that he +must suffer many things and be despised. + +9:12. But I say to you that Elias also is come (and they have done to +him whatsoever they would), as it is written of him. + +9:13. And coming to his disciples he saw a great multitude about them +and the scribes disputing with them. + +9:14. And presently all the people, seeing Jesus, were astonished and +struck with fear: and running to him, they saluted him. + +9:15. And he asked them: What do you question about among you? + +9:16. And one of the multitude, answering, said: Master, I have brought +my son to thee, having a dumb spirit. + +9:17. Who, wheresoever he taketh him, dasheth him: and he foameth and +gnasheth with the teeth and pineth away. And I spoke to thy disciples to +cast him out: and they could not. + +9:18. Who answering them, said: O incredulous generation, how long shall +I be with you? How long shall I suffer you? Bring him unto me. + +9:19. And they brought him. And when he had seen him, immediately the +spirit troubled him and being thrown down upon the ground, he rolled +about foaming. + +9:20. And he asked his father: How long time is it since this hath +happened unto him? But he sad: From his infancy. + +9:21. And oftentimes hath he cast him into the fire and into the waters +to destroy him. But if thou canst do any thing, help us, having +compassion on us. + +9:22. And Jesus saith to him: If thou canst believe, all things are +possible to him that believeth. + +9:23. And immediately the father of the boy crying out, with tears said: +I do believe, Lord. Help my unbelief. + +9:24. And when Jesus saw the multitude running together, he threatened +the unclean spirit, saying to him: Deaf and dumb spirit, I command thee, +go out of him and enter not any more into him. + +9:25. And crying out and greatly tearing him, he went our of him. And +he became as dead, so that many said: He is dead. + +9:26. But Jesus taking him by the hand, lifted him up. And he arose. + +9:27. And when he was come into the house, his disciples secretly asked +him: Why could not we cast him out? + +9:28. And he said to them: This kind can go out by nothing, but by +prayer and fasting. + +9:29. And departing from thence, they passed through Galilee: and he +would not that any man should know it. + +9:30. And he taught his disciples and said to them: The Son of man shall +be betrayed into the hands of men, and they shall kill him; and after +that he is killed, he shall rise again the third day. + +9:31. But they understood not the word: and they were afraid to ask him. + +9:32. And they came to Capharnaum. And when they were in the house, he +asked them: What did you treat of in the way? + +9:33. But they held their peace, for in the way they had disputed among +themselves, which of them should be the greatest. + +9:34. And sitting down, he called the twelve and saith to them: If any +man desire to be first, he shall be the last of all and be minister of +all. + +9:35. And taking a child, he set him in the midst of them. Whom when he +had embraced, he saith to them: + +9:36. Whosoever shall receive one such child as this in my name +receiveth me. And whosoever shall receive me receiveth not me but him +that sent me. + +9:37. John answered him, saying: Master, we saw one casting out devils +in thy name, who followeth not us: and we forbade him. + +9:38. But Jesus said: Do not forbid him. For there is no man that doth a +miracle in my name and can soon speak ill of me. + +9:39. For he that is not against you is for you. + +9:40. For whosoever shall give you to drink a cup of water in my name, +because you belong to Christ: amen I say to you, he shall not lose his +reward. + +9:41. And whosoever shall scandalize one of these little ones that +believe in me: it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about +his neck and he were cast into the sea. + +9:42. And if thy hand scandalize thee, cut it off: it is better for thee +to enter into life, maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into +unquenchable fire: + +9:43. Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not extinguished. + +9:44. And if thy foot scandalize thee, cut it off: it is better for thee +to enter lame into life everlasting than having two feet to be cast into +the hell of unquenchable fire: + +9:45. Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not extinguished. + +9:46. And if thy eye scandalize thee, pluck it out: it is better for +thee with one eye to enter into the kingdom of God than having two eyes +to be cast into the hell of fire: + +9:47. Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not extinguished. + +9:48. For every one shall be salted with fire: and every victim shall be +salted with salt. + +9:49. Salt is good. But if the salt become unsavoury, wherewith will you +season it? Have salt in you: and have peace among you. + +Mark Chapter 10 + +Marriage is not to be dissolved. The danger of riches. The ambition of +the sons of Zebedee. A blind man is restored to his sight. + +10:1. And rising up from thence, he cometh into the coast of Judea +beyond the Jordan: and the multitude flocked to him again. And as he was +accustomed, he taught them again. + +10:2. And the Pharisees coming to him asked him, tempting him: Is it +lawful for a man to put away his wife? + +10:3. But he answering, saith to them: What did Moses command you? + +10:4. Who said: Moses permitted to write a bill of divorce and to put +her away. + +10:5. To whom Jesus answering, said: Because of the hardness of your +heart, he wrote you that precept. + +10:6. But from the beginning of the creation, God made them male and +female. + +10:7. For this cause, a man shall leave his father and mother and shall +cleave to his wife. + +10:8. And they two shall be in one flesh. Therefore now they are not +two, but one flesh. + +10:9. What therefore God hath joined together, let no man put asunder. + +10:10. And in the house again his disciples asked him concerning the +same thing. + +10:11. And he saith to them: Whosoever shall put away his wife and marry +another committeth adultery against her. + +10:12. And if the wife shall put away her husband and be married to +another, she committeth adultery. + +10:13. And they brought to him young children, that he might touch them. +And the disciples rebuked them that brought them. + +10:14. Whom when Jesus saw, he was much displeased and saith to them: +Suffer the little children to come unto me and forbid them not: for of +such is the kingdom of God. + +10:15. Amen I say to you, whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God +as a little child shall not enter into it. + +10:16. And embracing them and laying his hands upon them, he blessed +them. + +10:17. And when he was gone forth into the way, a certain man, running +up and kneeling before him, asked him: Good Master, what shall I do that +I may receive life everlasting? + +10:18. And Jesus said to him: Why callest thou me good? None is good but +one, that is God. + +None is good... Of himself entirely and essentially, but God alone; men +may be good also, but only by participation of God's goodness. + +10:19. Thou knowest the commandments: Do not commit adultery, do not +kill, do not steal, bear not false witness, do no fraud, honour thy +father and mother. + +10:20. But he answering, said to him: Master, all these things I have +observed from my youth. + +10:21. And Jesus, looking on him, loved him and said to him: One thing +is wanting unto thee. Go, sell whatsoever thou hast and give to the +poor: and thou shalt have treasure in heaven. And come, follow me. + +10:22. Who being struck sad at that saying, went away sorrowful: for he +had great possessions. + +10:23. And Jesus looking round about, saith to his disciples: How hardly +shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God! + +10:24. And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus again +answering, saith to them: Children, how hard is it for them that trust +in riches to enter into the kingdom of God? + +10:25. It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than +for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. + +10:26. Who wondered the more, saying among themselves: Who then can be +saved? + +10:27. And Jesus looking on them, saith with men it is impossible; but +not with God. For all things are possible with God. + +10:28. And Peter began to say unto him: Behold, we have left all things +and have followed thee. + +10:29. Jesus answering said: Amen I say to you, there is no man who hath +left house or brethren or sisters or father or mother or children or +lands, for my sake and for the gospel, + +10:30. Who shall not receive an hundred times as much, now in this time: +houses and brethren and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with +persecutions: and in the world to come life everlasting. + +10:31. But many that are first shall be last: and the last, first. + +10:32. And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem: and Jesus went +before them. And they were astonished and following were afraid. And +taking again the twelve, he began to tell them the things that should +befall him. + +10:33. Saying: Behold we go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man shall be +betrayed to the chief priests and to the scribes and ancients. And they +shall condemn him to death and shall deliver him to the Gentiles. + +10:34. And they shall mock him and spit on him and scourge him and kill +him: and the third day he shall rise again. + +10:35. And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, come to him, saying: +Master, we desire that whatsoever we shall ask, thou wouldst do it for +us. + +10:36. But he said to them: What would you that I should do for you? + +10:37. And they said: Grant to us that we may sit, one on thy right hand +and the other on thy left hand, in thy glory. + +10:38. And Jesus said to them: You know not what you ask. Can you drink +of the chalice that I drink of or be baptized with the baptism wherewith +I am baptized? + +10:39. But they said to him: We can. And Jesus saith to them: You shall +indeed drink of the chalice that I drink of; and with the baptism +wherewith I am baptized you shall be baptized. + +10:40. But to sit on my right hand or on my left is not mine to give to +you, but to them for whom it is prepared. + +10:41. And the ten, hearing it, began to be much displeased at James and +John. + +10:42. But Jesus calling them, saith to them: You know that they who +seem to rule over the Gentiles lord it over them: and their princes have +power over them. + +10:43. But it is not so among you: but whosoever will be greater shall +be your minister. + +10:44. And whosoever will be first among you shall be the servant of +all. + +10:45. For the Son of man also is not come to be ministered unto: but to +minister and to give his life a redemption for many. + +10:46. And they came to Jericho. And as he went out of Jericho with his +disciples and a very great multitude, Bartimeus the blind man, the son +of Timeus, sat by the way side begging. + +10:47. Who when he had heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, began to cry +out and to say: Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me. + +10:48. And many rebuked him, that he might hold his peace; but he cried +a great deal the more: Son of David, have mercy on me. + +10:49. And Jesus, standing still, commanded him to be called. And they +call the blind man, saying to him: Be of better comfort. Arise, he +calleth thee. + +10:50. Who casting off his garment leaped up and came to him. + +10:51. And Jesus answering, said to him: What wilt thou that I should do +to thee? And the blind man said to him: Rabboni. That I may see. + +10:52. And Jesus saith to him: Go thy way. Thy faith hath made thee +whole. And immediately he saw and followed him in the way. + +Mark Chapter 11 + +Christ enters into Jerusalem upon an ass. He curses the barren fig tree +and drives the buyers and sellers out of the temple. + +11:1. And when they were drawing near to Jerusalem and to Bethania, at +the mount of Olives, he sendeth two of his disciples, + +11:2. And saith to them: Go into the village that is over against you, +and immediately at your coming in thither, you shall find a colt tied, +upon which no man yet hath sat. Loose him and bring him. + +11:3. And if any man shall say to you: What are you doing? Say ye that +the Lord hath need of him. And immediately he will let him come hither. + +11:4. And going their way, they found the colt tied before the gate +without, in the meeting of two ways. And they loose him. + +11:5. And some of them that stood there said to them: What do you +loosing the colt? + +11:6. Who said to them as Jesus had commanded them. And they let him go +with them. + +11:7. And they brought the colt to Jesus. And they lay their garments on +him: and he sat upon him. + +11:8. And many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down +boughs from the trees and strewed them in the way. + +11:9. And they that went before and they that followed cried, saying: +Hosanna: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord. + +11:10. Blessed be the kingdom of our father David that cometh: Hosanna +in the highest. + +11:11. And he entered into Jerusalem, into the temple: and having viewed +all things round about, when now the eventide was come, he went out to +Bethania with the twelve. + +11:12. And the next day when they came out from Bethania, he was hungry. + +11:13. And when he had seen afar off a fig tree having leaves, he came, +if perhaps he might find any thing on it. And when he was come to it, he +found nothing but leaves. For it was not the time for figs. + +11:14. And answering he said to it: May no man hereafter eat fruit of +thee any more for ever! And his disciples heard it. + +11:15. And they came to Jerusalem. And when he was entered into the +temple, he began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple: +and over threw the tables of the moneychangers and the chairs of them +that sold doves. + +11:16. And he suffered not that any man should carry a vessel through +the temple. + +11:17. And he taught, saying to them: Is it not written: My house shall +be called the house of prayer to all nations, but you have made it a den +of thieves. + +11:18. Which when the chief priests and the scribes had heard, they +sought how they might destroy him. For they feared him, because the +whole multitude was in admiration at his doctrine. + +11:19. And when evening was come, he went forth out of the city. + +11:20. And when they passed by in the morning they saw the fig tree +dried up from the roots. + +11:21. And Peter remembering, said to him: Rabbi, behold the fig tree +which thou didst curse is withered away. + +11:22. And Jesus answering, saith to them: Have the faith of God. + +11:23. Amen I say to you that whosoever shall say to this mountain, Be +thou removed and be cast into the sea, and shall not stagger in his +heart, but be believe that whatsoever he saith shall be done; it shall +be done unto him. + +11:24. Therefore I say unto you, all things, whatsoever you ask when ye +pray, believe that you shall receive: and they shall come unto you. + +11:25. And when you shall stand to pray, forgive, if you have aught +against any man: that your Father also, who is in heaven, may forgive +you your sins. + +11:26. But if you will not forgive, neither will your father that is in +heaven forgive you your sins. + +11:27. And they come again to Jerusalem. And when he was walking in the +temple, there come to him the chief priests and the scribes and the +ancients. + +11:28. And they say to him: By what authority dost thou these things? +And who hath given thee this authority that thou shouldst do these +things? + +11:29. And Jesus answering, said to them: I will also ask you one word. +And answer you me: and I will tell you by what authority I do these +things. + +11:30. The baptism of John, was it from heaven or from men? Answer me. + +11:31. But they thought with themselves, saying: If we say, From heaven; +he will say, Why then did you not believe him? + +11:32. If we say, From men, we fear the people. For all men counted John +that he was a prophet indeed. + +11:33. And they answering, say to Jesus: We know not. And Jesus +answering, saith to them: Neither do I tell you by what authority I do +these things. + +Mark Chapter 12 + +The parable of the vineyard and husbandmen. Caesar's right to tribute. +The Sadducees are confuted. The first commandment. The widow's mite. + +12:1. And he began to speak to them in parables: A certain man planted a +vineyard and made a hedge about it and dug a place for the winefat and +built a tower and let it to husbandmen: and went into a far country. + +12:2. And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant to receive +of the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard. + +12:3. Who, having laid hands on him, beat and sent him away empty. + +12:4. And again he sent to them another servant: and him they wounded in +the head and used him reproachfully. + +12:5. And again he sent another, and him they killed: and many others, +of whom some they beat, and others they killed. + +12:6. Therefore, having yet one son, most dear to him, he also sent him +unto them last of all, saying: They will reverence my son. + +12:7. But the husbandmen said one to another: This is the heir. Come +let us kill him and the inheritance shall be ours. + +12:8. And laying hold on him, they killed him and cast him out of the +vineyard. + +12:9. What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do? He will come and +destroy those husbandmen and will give the vineyard to others. + +12:10. And have you not read this scripture, The stone which the +builders rejected, the same is made the head of the corner: + +12:11. By the Lord has this been done, and it is wonderful in our eyes. + +12:12. And they sought to lay hands on him: but they feared the people. +For they knew that he spoke this parable to them. And leaving him, they +went their way. + +12:13. And they sent to him some of the Pharisees and of the Herodians: +that they should catch him in his words. + +12:14. Who coming, say to him: Master, we know that thou art a true +speaker and carest not for any 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 shall we not give it? + +12:15. Who knowing their wiliness, saith to them: Why tempt you me? +Bring me a penny that I may see it. + +12:16. And they brought it him. And he saith to them: Whose is this +image and inscription? They say to him, Caesar's. + +12:17. And Jesus answering, said to them: Render therefore to Caesar the +things that are Caesar's and to God the things that are God's. And they +marvelled at him. + +12:18. And there came to him the Sadducees, who say there is no +resurrection. And they asked him, saying: + +12:19. Master, Moses wrote unto us that if any man's brother die and +leave his wife behind him and leave no children, his brother should take +his wife and raise up seed to his brother. + +12:20. Now there were seven brethren: and the first took a wife and died +leaving no issue. + +12:21. And the second took her and died: and neither did he leave any +issue. And the third in like manner. + +12:22. And the seven all took her in like manner and did not leave +issue. Last of all the woman also died. + +12:23. In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise again, whose +wife shall she be of them? For the seven had her to wife. + +12:24. And Jesus answering, saith to them: Do ye not therefore err, +because you know not the scriptures nor the power of God? + +12:25. For when they shall rise again from the dead, they shall neither +marry, nor be married, but are as the angels in heaven. + +12:26. And as concerning the dead that they rise again have you not read +in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spoke to him, saying: I am the +God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob? + +12:27. He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You therefore +do greatly err. + +12:28. And there came one of the scribes that had heard them reasoning +together, and seeing that he had answered them well, asked him which was +the first commandment of all. + +12:29. And Jesus answered him: The first commandment of all is, Hear, O +Israel: the Lord thy God is one God. + +12:30. And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart and +with thy whole soul and with thy whole mind and with thy whole strength. +This is the first commandment. + +12:31. And the second is like to it: Thou shalt love thy neighbour as +thyself. There is no other commandment greater than these. + +12:32. And the scribe said to him: Well, Master, thou hast said in truth +that there is one God and there is no other besides him. + +12:33. And that he should be loved with the whole heart and with the +whole understanding and with the whole soul and with the whole strength. +And to love one's neighbour as one's self is a greater thing than all +holocausts and sacrifices. + +12:34. And Jesus seeing that he had answered wisely, said to him: Thou +art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him +any question. + +12:35. And Jesus answering, said, teaching in the temple: How do the +scribes say that Christ is the son of David? + +12:36. For David himself saith by the Holy Ghost: The Lord said to my +Lord: Sit on my right hand, until I make thy enemies thy footstool. + +12:37. David therefore himself calleth him Lord. And whence is he then +his son? And a great multitude heard him gladly. + +12:38. And he said to them in his doctrine: Beware of the scribes, who +love to walk in long robes and to be saluted in the marketplace, + +12:39. And to sit in the first chairs in the synagogues and to have the +highest places at suppers: + +12:40. Who devour the houses of widows under the pretence of long +prayer. These shall receive greater judgment. + +12:41. And Jesus sitting over against the treasury, beheld how the +people cast money into the treasury. And many that were rich cast in +much. + +12:42. And there came a certain poor widow: and she cast in two mites, +which make a farthing. + +12:43. And calling his disciples together, he saith to them: Amen I say +to you, this poor widow hath cast in more than all they who have cast +into the treasury. + +12:44. For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want +cast in all she had, even her whole living. + +Mark Chapter 13 + +Christ foretells the destruction of the temple and the signs that shall +forerun the day of judgment. + +13:1. And as he was going out of the temple, one of his disciples said +to him: Master, behold what manner of stones and what buildings are +here. + +13:2. And Jesus answering, said to him: Seest thou all these great +buildings? There shall not be left a stone upon a stone, that shall not +be thrown down. + +13:3. And as he sat on the mount of Olivet over against the temple, +Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him apart: + +13:4. Tell us, when shall these things be and what shall be the sign +when all these things shall begin to be fulfilled? + +13:5. And Jesus answering, began to say to them: Take heed lest any man +deceive you. + +13:6. For many shall come in my name saying, I am he: and they shall +deceive many. + +13:7. And when you shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, fear ye not. +For such things must needs be: but the end is not yet. + +13:8. For nation shall rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom: +and there shall be earthquakes in divers places and famines. These +things are the beginning of sorrows. + +13:9. But look to yourselves. For they shall deliver you Up to councils: +and in the synagogues you shall be beaten: and you shall stand before +governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony unto them. + +13:10. And unto all nations the gospel must first be preached. + +13:11. And when they shall lead you and deliver you up, be not +thoughtful beforehand what you shall speak: but whatsoever shall be +given you in that hour, that speak ye. For it is not you that speak, but +the Holy Ghost. + +13:12. And the brother shall betray his brother unto death, and the +father his son; and children shall rise up against their parents and +shall work their death. + +13:13. And you shall be hated by all men for my name's sake. But he that +shall endure unto the end, he shall be saved. + +13:14. And when you shall see the abomination of desolation, standing +where it ought not (he that readeth let him understand): then let them +that are in Judea flee unto the mountains. + +13:15. And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house +nor enter therein to take any thing out of the house. + +13:16. And let him that shall be in the field not turn back to take up +his garment. + +13:17. And woe to them that are with child and that give suck in those +days. + +13:18. But pray ye that these things happen not in winter. + +13:19. For in those days shall be such tribulations as were not from the +beginning of the creation which God created until now: neither shall be. + +13:20. And unless the Lord had shortened the days, no flesh should be +saved: but, for the sake of the elect which he hath chosen, he hath +shortened the days. + +13:21. And then if any man shall say to you: Lo, here is Christ. Lo, he +is here: do not believe. + +13:22. For there will rise up false Christs and false prophets: and they +shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce (if it were possible) even the +elect. + +13:23. Take you heed therefore: behold, I have foretold you all things. + +13:24. But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be +darkened and the moon shall not give her light. + +13:25. And the stars of heaven shall be falling down and the powers that +are in heaven shall be moved. + +13:26. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds, with +great power and glory. + +13:27. And then shall he send his angels and shall gather together his +elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the +uttermost part of heaven. + +13:28. Now of the fig tree learn ye a parable. When the branch thereof +is now tender and the leaves are come forth, you know that summer is +very near. + +13:29. So you also when you shall see these things come to pass, know ye +that it is very nigh, even at the doors. + +13:30. Amen, I say to you that this generation shall not pass until all +these things be done. + +13:31. Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my word shall not pass +away. + +13:32. But of that day or hour no man knoweth, neither the angels in +heaven, nor the Son, but the Father. + +Nor the Son... Not that the Son of God is absolutely ignorant of the day +of judgment, but that he knoweth it not, as our teacher; that is, he +knoweth it not so as to teach it to us, as not being expedient. + +13:33. Take ye heed, watch and pray. For ye know not when the time is. + +13:34. Even as a man who, going into a far country, left his house and +gave authority to his servants over every work and commanded the porter +to watch. + +13:35. Watch ye therefore (for you know not when the lord of the house +cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cock crowing, or in the +morning): + +13:36. Lest coming on a sudden, he find you sleeping. + +13:37. And what I say to you, I say to all: Watch. + +Mark Chapter 14 + +The first part of the history of the passion of Christ. + +14:1. Now the feast of the pasch and of the Azymes was after two days: +and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might by some wile +lay hold on him and kill him. + +Azymes... That is, the feast of the unleavened bread. + +14:2. But they said: Not on the festival day, lest there should be a +tumult among the people. + +14:3. And when he was in Bethania, in the house of Simon the leper, and +was at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of +precious spikenard. And breaking the alabaster box, she poured it out +upon his head. + +14:4. Now there were some that had indignation within themselves and +said: Why was this waste of the ointment made? + +14:5. For this ointment might have been sold for more than three hundred +pence and given to the poor. And they murmured against her. + +14:6. But Jesus said: Let her alone. Why do You molest her? She hath +wrought a good work upon me. + +14:7. For the poor you have always with you: and whensoever you will, +you may do them good: but me you have not always. + +14:8. She hath done what she could: she is come beforehand to anoint my +body for the burial. + +14:9. Amen, I say to you, wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in +the whole world, that also which she hath done shall be told for a +memorial of her. + +14:10. And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went to the chief priests, +to betray him to them. + +14:11. Who hearing it were glad: and they promised him they would give +him money. And he sought how he might conveniently betray him. + +14:12. Now on the first day of the unleavened bread, when they +sacrificed the pasch, the disciples say to him: Whither wilt thou that +we go and prepare for thee to eat the pasch? + +14:13. And he sendeth two of his disciples and saith to them: Go ye into +the city; and there shall meet you a man carrying a pitcher of water. +Follow him. + +14:14. And whithersoever he shall go in, say to the master of the house, +The master saith, Where is my refectory, where I may eat the pasch with +my disciples? + +14:15. And he will shew you a large dining room furnished. And there +prepare ye for us. + +14:16. And his disciples went their way and came into the city. And +they found as he had told them: and they prepared the pasch. + +14:17. And when evening was come, he cometh with the twelve. + +14:18. And when they were at table and eating, Jesus saith: Amen I say +to you, one of you that eateth with me shall betray me. + +14:19. But they began to be sorrowful and to say to him, one by one: Is +it I? + +14:20. Who saith to them: One of the twelve, who dippeth with me his +hand in the dish. + +14:21. And the Son of man indeed goeth, as it is written of him: but woe +to that man by whom the Son of man shall be betrayed. It were better +for him, if that man had not been born. + +14:22. And whilst they were eating, Jesus took bread; and blessing, +broke and gave to them and said: Take ye. This is my body. + +14:23. And having taken the chalice, giving thanks, he gave it to them. +And they all drank of it. + +14:24. And he said to them: This is my blood of the new testament, which +shall be shed for many. + +14:25. Amen I say to you that I will drink no more of the fruit of the +vine until that day when I shall drink it new in the kingdom of God. + +14:26. And when they had sung an hymn, they went forth to the mount of +Olives. + +14:27. And Jesus saith to them: You will all be scandalized in my regard +this night. For it is written: I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep +shall be dispersed. + +14:28. But after I shall be risen again, I will go before you into +Galilee. + +14:29. But Peter saith to him: Although all shall be scandalized in +thee, yet not I. + +14:30. And Jesus saith to him: Amen I say to thee, to-day, even in this +night, before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. + +Crow twice... The cocks crow at two different times of the night; viz., +about midnight for the first time; and then about the time commonly +called the cock crowing; and this was the cock crowing our Saviour spoke +of; and therefore the other Evangelists take no notice of the first +crowing. + +14:31. But he spoke the more vehemently: Although I should die together +with thee, I will not deny thee. And in like manner also said they all. + +14:32. And they came to a farm called Gethsemani. And he saith to his +disciples: Sit you here, while I pray. + +14:33. And he taketh Peter and James and John with him: and he began to +fear and to be heavy. + +14:34. And he saith to them: My soul is sorrowful even unto death. Stay +you here and watch. + +14:35. And when he was gone forward a little, he fell flat on the +ground: and he prayed that, if it might be, the hour might pass from +him. + +14:36. And he saith: Abba, Father, all things are possible to thee: +remove this chalice from me; but not what I will, but what thou wilt. + +14:37. And he cometh and findeth them sleeping. And he saith to Peter: +Simon, sleepest thou? Couldst thou not watch one hour? + +14:38. Watch ye: and pray that you enter not into temptation. The spirit +indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. + +14:39. And going away again, he prayed, saying the same words. + +14:40. And when he returned, he found them again asleep (for their eyes +were heavy): and they knew not what to answer him. + +14:41. And he cometh the third time and saith to them: Sleep ye now and +take your rest. It is enough. The hour is come: behold the Son of man +shall be betrayed into the hands of sinners. + +14:42. Rise up: let us go. Behold, he that will betray me is at hand. + +14:43. And while he was yet speaking, cometh Judas Iscariot, one of the +twelve: and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the +chief priests and the scribes and the ancients. + +14:44. And he that betrayed him had given them a sign, saying: +Whomsoever I shall kiss, that is he. Lay hold on him: and lead him away +carefully. + +14:45. And when he was come, immediately going up to him he saith: Hail, +Rabbi! And he kissed him. + +14:46. But they laid hands on him and held him. + +14:47. And one of them that stood by, drawing a sword, struck a servant +of the chief priest and cut off his ear. + +14:48. And Jesus answering, said to them: Are you come out as to a +robber, with swords and staves to apprehend me? + +14:49. I was daily with you in the temple teaching: and you did not lay +hands on me. But that the scriptures may be fulfilled. + +14:50. Then his disciples, leaving him, all fled away. + +14:51. And a certain young man followed him, having a linen cloth cast +about his naked body. And they laid hold on him. + +14:52. But he, casting off the linen cloth, fled from them naked. + +14:53. And they brought Jesus to the high priest. And all the priests +and the scribes and the ancients assembled together. + +14:54. And Peter followed him afar off, even into the court of the high +priest. And he sat with the servants at the fire and warmed himself. + +14:55. And the chief priests and all the council sought for evidence +against Jesus, that they might put him to death: and found none. + +14:56. For many bore false witness against him: and their evidences were +not agreeing. + +14:57. And some rising up, bore false witness against him, saying: + +14:58. We heard him say, I Will destroy this temple made with hands and +within three days I will build another not made with hands. + +14:59. And their witness did not agree. + +14:60. And the high priest rising up in the midst, asked Jesus, saying: +Answerest thou nothing to the things that are laid to thy charge by +these men? + +14:61. But he held his peace and answered nothing. Again the high priest +asked him and said to him: Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed +God? + +14:62. And Jesus said to him: I am. And you shall see the Son of man +sitting on the right hand of the power of God and coming with the clouds +of heaven. + +14:63. Then the high priest rending his garments, saith: What need we +any further witnesses? + +14:64. You have heard the blasphemy. What think you? Who all condemned +him to be guilty of death. + +14:65. And some began to spit on him and to cover his face and to buffet +him and to say unto him: Prophesy. And the servants struck him with the +palms their hands. + +14:66. Now when Peter was in the court below, there cometh one of the +maidservants of the high priest. + +14:67. And when she had seen Peter warming himself looking on him, she +saith: Thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth. + +14:68. But he denied, saying: I neither know nor understand what thou +sayest. And he went forth before the court; and the cock crew. + +14:69. And again a maidservant seeing him, began to say to the standers +by: This is one of them. + +14:70. But he denied again. And after a, while they that stood by said +again to Peter: Surely thou art one of them; for thou art also a +Galilean. + +14:71. But he began o curse and to swear, saying: I know not this man of +whom you speak. + +14:72. And immediately the cock crew again. And Peter remembered the +word that Jesus had said unto him: Before the cock crow twice, thou +shalt thrice deny me. And he began to weep, + +Mark Chapter 15 + +The continuation of the history of the passion. + +15:1. And straightway in the morning, the chief priests holding a +consultation with the ancients and the scribes and the whole council, +binding Jesus, led him away and delivered him to Pilate. + +15:2. And Pilate asked him: Art thou the king of the Jews? But he +answering, saith to him: Thou sayest it. + +15:3. And the chief priests accused him in many things. + +15:4. And Pilate again asked him, saying: Answerest thou nothing? +Behold in how many things they accuse thee. + +15:5. But Jesus still answered nothing: so that Pilate wondered. + +15:6. Now on the festival day he was wont to release unto them one of +the prisoners, whomsoever they demanded. + +15:7. And there was one called Barabbas, who was put in prison with some +seditious men, who in the sedition had committed murder. + +15:8. And when the multitude was come up, they began to desire that he +would do as he had ever done unto them. + +15:9. And Pilate answered them and said: Will you that I release to you +the king of the Jews? + +15:10. For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him up out of +envy. + +15:11. But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather +release Barabbas to them. + +15:12. And Pilate again answering, saith to them: What will you then +that I do to the king of the Jews? + +15:13. But they again cried out: Crucify him. + +15:14. And Pilate saith to them: Why, what evil hath he done? But they +cried out the more: Crucify him. + +15:15. And so Pilate being willing to satisfy the people, released to +them Barabbas: and delivered up Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be +crucified. + +15:16. And the soldiers led him away into the court of the palace: and +they called together the whole band. + +15:17. And they clothed him with purple: and, platting a crown of +thorns, they put it upon him. + +15:18. And they began to salute him: Hail, king of the Jews. + +15:19. And they struck his head with a reed: and they did spit on him. +And bowing their knees, they adored him. + +15:20. And after they had mocked him, they took off the purple from him +and put his own garments on him: and they led him out to crucify him. + +15:21. And they forced one Simon a Cyrenian, who passed by coming out of +the country, the father of Alexander and of Rufus, to take up his cross. + +15:22. And they bring him into the place called Golgotha, which being +interpreted is, The place of Calvary. + +15:23. And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh. But he took +it not. + +15:24. And crucifying him, they divided his garments, casting lots upon +them, what every man should take. + +15:25. And it was the third hour: and they crucified him. + +The third hour... The ancient account divided the day into four parts, +which were named from the hour from which they began; the first, third, +sixth, and ninth hour. Our Lord was crucified a little before noon; +before the third hour had quite expired; but when the sixth hour was +near at hand. + +15:26. And the inscription of his cause was written over: THE KING OF +THE JEWS. + +15:27. And with him they crucify two thieves: the one on his right hand, +and the other on his left. + +15:28. And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith: And with the wicked +he was reputed. + +15:29. And they that passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads and +saying: Vah, thou that destroyest the temple of God and in three days +buildest it up again: + +15:30. Save thyself, coming down from the cross. + +15:31. In like manner also the chief priests, mocking, said with the +scribes one to another: He saved others; himself he cannot save. + +15:32. Let Christ the king of Israel come down now from the cross, that +we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him, reviled +him. + +15:33. And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the +whole earth until the ninth hour. + +15:34. And at the ninth hour, Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying: +Eloi, Eloi, lamma sabacthani? Which is, being interpreted: My God, My +God, Why hast thou forsaken me? + +15:35. And some of the standers by hearing, said: Behold he calleth +Elias. + +15:36. And one running and filling a sponge with vinegar and putting it +upon a reed, gave him to drink, saying: Stay, let us see if Elias come +to take him down. + +15:37. And Jesus, having cried out with a loud voice, gave up the ghost. + +15:38. And the veil of the temple was rent in two, from the top to the +bottom. + +15:39. And the centurion who stood over against him, seeing that crying +out in this manner he had given up the ghost said: Indeed this man was +the son of God. + +15:40. And there were also women looking on afar off: among whom was +Mary Magdalen and Mary the mother of James the Less and of Joseph and +Salome, + +15:41. Who also when he was in Galilee followed him and ministered to +him, and many other women that came up with him to Jerusalem. + +15:42. And when evening was now come (because it was the Parasceve, that +is, the day before the sabbath), + +15:43. Joseph of Arimathea, a noble counsellor, who was also himself +looking for the kingdom of God, came and went in boldly to Pilate and +begged the body of Jesus. + +15:44. But Pilate wondered that he should be already dead. And sending +for the centurion, he asked him if he were already dead. + +15:45. And when he had understood it by the centurion, he gave the body +to Joseph. + +15:46. And Joseph, buying fine linen and taking him down, wrapped him up +in the fine linen and laid him in a sepulchre which was hewed out of a +rock. And he rolled a stone to the door of the sepulchre. + +15:47. And Mary Magdalen and Mary the mother of Joseph, beheld where he +was laid. + +Mark Chapter 16 + +Christ's resurrection and ascension. + +16:1. And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalen and Mary the mother +of James and Salome bought sweet spices, that coming, they might anoint +Jesus. + +16:2. And very early in the morning, the first day of the week, they +come to the sepulchre, the sun being now risen. + +The sun being now risen... They set out before it was light, to go to +the sepulchre; but the sun was risen when they arrived there. Or, +figuratively, the sun here spoken of is the sun of justice, Christ Jesus +our Lord, who was risen before their coming. + +16:3. And they said one to another: Who shall roll us back the stone +from the door of the sepulchre? + +16:4. And looking, they saw the stone rolled back. For it was very +great. + +16:5. And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on +the right side, clothed with a white robe: and they were astonished. + +16:6. Who saith to them: Be not affrighted, you seek Jesus of Nazareth, +who was crucified. He is risen: he is not here. Behold the place where +they laid him. + +16:7. But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before you into +Galilee. There you shall see him, as he told you. + +16:8. But they going out, fled from the sepulchre: for a trembling and +fear had seized them. And they said nothing to any man: for they were +afraid. + +16:9. But he rising early the first day of the week, appeared first to +Mary Magdalen; out of whom he had cast seven devils. + +16:10. She went and told them that had been with him, who were mourning +and weeping. + +16:11. And they hearing that he was alive and had been seen by her, did +not believe. + +16:12. And after that he appeared in another shape to two of them +walking, as they were going into the country. + +16:13. And they going told it to the rest: neither did they believe +them. + +16:14. At length he appeared to the eleven as they were at table: and he +upbraided them with their incredulity and hardness of heart, because +they did not believe them who had seen him after he was risen again. + +16:15. And he said to them: Go ye into the whole world and preach the +gospel to every creature. + +16:16. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved: but he that +believeth not shall he condemned. + +16:17. And these signs shall follow them that believe: In my name they +shall cast out devils. They shall speak with new tongues. + +16:18. They shall take up serpents: and if they shall drink any deadly +thing, it shall not hurt them. They shall lay their hand upon the sick: +and they shall recover. + +16:19. And the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up +into heaven and sitteth on the right hand of God. + +16:20. But they going forth preached every where: the Lord working +withal, and confirming the word with signs that followed. + + + + + +*** END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK, THE BIBLE, DOUAY-RHEIMS, BOOK 48 *** + +*********** This file should be named 8348.txt or 8348.zip *********** + +Produced by David Widger + +Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the US +unless a copyright notice is included.
