Mark 1
1 The beginning of the gospel of
Yahshua the Christ, the Son of God;
2 As it is written in the prophets, "Behold, I send My messenger before
thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
3 The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of Yahweh, make
His paths straight".
4 John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for
the remission of sins.
5 And there went out unto him all the land of Judaea, and they of
6 And John was clothed with camel's hair, and with a girdle of a skin about his
loins; and he did eat locusts and wild honey;
7 And preached, saying, There cometh one mightier than I after me, the latchet
of Whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose.
8 I indeed have baptized you with water: but He shall baptize you with the Holy
Spirit.
9 And it came to pass in those days, that Yahshua came from Nazareth of
Galilee, and was baptized of John in
10 And straightway coming up out of the water, He saw the heavens opened, and
the Spirit like a dove descending upon Him:
11 And there came a voice from heaven, [saying], Thou art My beloved Son, in
Whom I am well pleased.
12 And immediately the Spirit driveth Him into the
wilderness.
13 And He was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted of Satan; and was
with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto Him.
14 Now after that John was put in prison, Yahshua came into Galilee, preaching
the gospel of the
15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the
16 Now 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.
17 And Yahshua said unto them, Come ye after Me, and I will make you to become
fishers of men.
18 And straightway they forsook their nets, and followed Him.
19 And when He had gone a little farther thence, He saw James the [son] of
Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the ship mending their nets.
20 And straightway He called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the
ship with the hired servants, and went after Him.
21 And they went into
22 And they were astonished at His doctrine: for He taught them as one that had
authority, and not as the scribes.
23 And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried
out,
24 Saying, Let [us] alone; what have we to do with Thee, Thou Yahshua of
Nazareth? art Thou come to destroy us? I know Thee Who Thou art, the Holy One
of God.
25 And Yahshua rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him.
26 And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice, he
came out of him.
27 And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves,
saying, What thing is this? what new doctrine [is] this? for with authority commandeth He even the unclean spirits, and they do obey
Him.
28 And immediately His fame spread abroad throughout all the region round about
29 And forthwith, when they were come out of the synagogue, they entered into the
house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
30 But Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever, and anon they tell Him of
her.
31 And He came and took her by the hand, and lifted her up; and immediately the
fever left her, and she ministered unto them.
32 And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto Him all that were
diseased, and them that were possessed with devils.
33 And all the city was gathered together at the door.
34 And He healed many that were
sick of divers diseases, and cast out many devils; and suffered not the devils
to speak, because they knew Him.
35 And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, He went out, and
departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.
36 And Simon and they that were with Him followed after Him.
37 And when they had found Him,
they said unto Him, All seek for Thee.
38 And He said unto them, Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach
there also: for therefore came I forth.
39 And He preached in their synagogues throughout all
40 And there came a leper to Him, beseeching Him, and kneeling down to Him, and
saying unto Him, If Thou wilt, Thou canst make me clean.
41 And Yahshua, moved with compassion, put forth [His] hand, and touched him,
and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean.
42 And as soon as He had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and
he was cleansed.
43 And He straitly charged him, and forthwith sent
him away;
44 And saith unto him, See thou say nothing to any one: but go thy way, shew thyself
to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing those things which Moses commanded,
for a testimony unto them.
45 But he went out, and began to publish [it] much, and to blaze abroad the
matter, insomuch that Yahshua could no more openly enter into the city, but was
without in desert places: and they came to Him from every quarter.
1 And again He entered into
2 And straightway many were gathered together, insomuch that there was no room
to receive [them], no, not so much as about the door: and He preached the word
unto them.
3 And they come unto Him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne of
four.
4 And when they could not come nigh unto Him for the press, they uncovered the
roof where He was: and when they had broken [it] up, they let down the bed
wherein the sick of the palsy lay.
5 When Yahshua saw their faith, He said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy
sins be forgiven thee.
6 But 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?
8 And immediately when Yahshua perceived in His spirit that they so reasoned
within themselves, He said unto them, Why reason ye these things in your
hearts?
9 Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, [Thy] sins be forgiven
thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk?
10 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive
sins, (He saith to the sick of the palsy,)
11 I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine
house.
12 And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all;
insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it
on this fashion.
13 And He went forth again by the sea side; and all the multitude resorted unto
Him, and He taught them.
14 And as He passed by, He saw Levi the [son] of Alphaeus
sitting at the receipt of custom, and said unto him, Follow Me. And he arose
and followed Him.
15 And it came to pass, that, as Yahshua sat at meat in his house, many
publicans and sinners sat also together with Yahshua and His disciples: for
there were many, and they followed Him.
16 And when the scribes and Pharisees saw Him eat with publicans and sinners,
they said unto His disciples, How is it that He eateth
and drinketh with publicans and sinners?
17 When Yahshua heard [it], He saith 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.
18 And the disciples of John and of the Pharisees used to fast: and they come
and say unto Him, Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast, but
Thy disciples fast not?
19 And Yahshua said unto them, Can the sons of the bridechamber
fast, while the bridegroom is with them? as long as they have the bridegroom
with them, they cannot fast.
20 But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them,
and then shall they fast in those days.
21 No one also seweth a piece of new cloth on an old
garment: else the new piece that filled it up taketh away from the old, and the
rent is made worse.
22 And no one putteth new wine into old bottles: else
the new wine doth burst the bottles, and the wine is spilled, and the bottles
will be marred: but new wine must be put into new bottles.
23 And it came to pass, that He went through the corn fields on the sabbath
day; and His disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears of corn.
24 And the Pharisees said unto Him, Behold, why do they on the sabbath day that
which is not lawful?
25 And He said unto them, Have ye never read what David did, when he had need,
and was an hungred, he, and they that were with him?
26 How he went into the house of God in the days of Abiathar
the high priest, and did eat the shewbread, which is
not lawful to eat but for the priests, and gave also to them which were with
him?
27 And He said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, not man for the
sabbath:
28 Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.
1 And He entered again into the
synagogue; and there was a man there which had a withered hand.
2 And they watched Him, whether He would heal him on the sabbath day; that they
might accuse Him.
3 And He saith unto the man which had the withered hand, Stand forth.
4 And He saith 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.
5 And when He had looked round about on them with anger, being grieved for the
hardness of their hearts, He saith unto the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And
he stretched [it] out: and his hand was restored whole as the other.
6 And the Pharisees went forth, and straightway took counsel with the Herodians against Him, how they might destroy Him.
7 But Yahshua withdrew Himself with His disciples to the sea: and a great
multitude from Galilee followed Him, and from Judaea,
8 And from
9 And He spake to His disciples, that a small ship should wait on Him because
of the multitude, lest they should throng Him.
10 For He had healed many; insomuch that they pressed upon Him for to touch
Him, as many as had plagues.
11 And unclean spirits, when they saw Him, fell down before Him, and cried,
saying, Thou art the Son of God.
12 And He straitly charged them that they should not
make Him known.
13 And He goeth up into a mountain, and calleth [unto Him] whom He would: and they came unto Him.
14 And He ordained twelve, that they should be with Him, and that He might send
them forth to preach,
15 And to have power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils:
16 And Simon he surnamed Peter;
17 And James the [son] of Zebedee, and John the brother of James; and he
surnamed them Boanerges, which is, The sons of
thunder:
18 And Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James
the [son] of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the
Canaanite,
19 And Judas Iscariot, which also betrayed Him: and they went into an house.
20 And the multitude cometh together again, so that they could not so much as
eat bread.
21 And when His friends heard [of it], they went out to lay hold on Him: for
they said, He is beside Himself.
22 And the scribes which came down from
23 And He called them [unto Him], and said unto them in parables, How can Satan
cast out Satan?
24 And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.
25 And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand.
26 And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but
hath an end.
27 No one can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he
will first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his house.
28 Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and
blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme:
29 But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Spirit hath never forgiveness,
but is in danger of eternal damnation:
30 Because they said, He hath an unclean spirit.
31 There came then His brethren and His mother, and, standing without, sent
unto Him, calling Him.
32 And the multitude sat about Him, and they said unto Him, Behold, Thy mother
and Thy brethren without seek for Thee.
33 And He answered them, saying, Who is My mother, or My brethren?
34 And He looked round about on them which sat about Him, and said, Behold My
mother and My brethren!
35 For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is My brother, and My
sister, and mother.
1 And He began again to teach by
the sea side: and there was gathered unto Him a great multitude, so that He
entered into a ship, and sat in the sea; and the whole multitude was by the sea
on the land.
2 And He taught them many things by parables, and said unto them in His
doctrine,
3 Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow:
4 And it came to pass, as he sowed,
some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up.
5 And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately
it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth:
6 But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it
withered away.
7 And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it
yielded no fruit.
8 And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and
increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred.
9 And He said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
10 And when He was alone, they that were about Him with the twelve asked of Him
the parable.
11 And He said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the
kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all [these] things are done in
parables:
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.
13 And He said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know
all parables?
14 The sower soweth the word.
15 And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.
16 And these are they likewise
which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately
receive it with gladness;
17 And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward,
when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's
sake, immediately they are offended.
18 And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word,
19 And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts
of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh
unfruitful.
20 And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and
receive [it], and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an
hundred.
21 And He said unto them, Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or
under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick?
22 For there is nothing hid, which
shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should
come abroad.
23 If any one have ears to hear, let him hear.
24 And He said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it
shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given.
25 For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him
shall be taken even that which he hath.
26 And He said, So is the
27 And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and
grow up, he knoweth not how.
28 For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself;
first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.
29 But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth
in the sickle, because the harvest is come.
30 And He said, Whereunto shall we liken the
31 [It is] like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth,
is less than all the seeds that be in the earth:
32 But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth
out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of
it.
33 And with many such parables spake He the word unto them, as they were able
to hear [it].
34 But without a parable spake He not unto them: and when they were alone, He
expounded all things to His disciples.
35 And the same day, when the even was come, He saith unto them, Let us pass
over unto the other side.
36 And when they had sent away the multitude, they took Him even as He was in
the ship. And there were also with Him other little ships.
37 And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so
that it was now full.
38 And He was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they
awake Him, and say unto him, Master, carest Thou not
that we perish?
39 And He arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still.
And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
40 And He said unto them, Why are ye
so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?
41 And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is
this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?
1 And they came over unto the other side of the sea, into the country of the
Gadarenes.
2 And when He was come out of the ship, immediately there met Him out of the
tombs a man with an unclean spirit,
3 Who had [his] dwelling among the tombs; and no one could bind him, no, not
with chains:
4 Because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains
had been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: neither
could any [one] tame him.
5 And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying,
and cutting himself with stones.
6 But when he saw Yahshua afar off, he ran and worshipped Him,
7 And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with Thee, Yahshua,
[Thou] Son of the Most High God? I adjure Thee by God, that Thou torment me
not.
8 For He said unto him, Come out of the man, [thou] unclean spirit.
9 And He asked him, What [is] thy name? And he answered, saying, My name [is]
Legion: for we are many.
10 And he besought Him much that He would not send them away out of the
country.
11 Now there was there nigh unto the mountains a great herd of swine feeding.
12 And all the devils besought Him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may
enter into them.
13 And forthwith Yahshua gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and
entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the
sea, (they were about two thousand;) and were choked in the sea.
14 And they that fed the swine fled, and told [it] in the city, and in the
country. And they went out to see what it was that was done.
15 And they come to Yahshua, and see him that was possessed with the devil, and
had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind: and they were
afraid.
16 And they that saw [it] told them how it befell to him that was possessed
with the devil, and [also] concerning the swine.
17 And they began to pray Him to depart out of their coasts.
18 And when He was come into the ship, he that had been possessed with the
devil prayed Him that he might be with Him.
19 Howbeit Yahshua suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go home to thy
friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath
had compassion on thee.
20 And He departed, and began to publish in
21 And when Yahshua was passed over again by ship unto the other side, much
people gathered unto Him: and He was nigh unto the sea.
22 And, behold, there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and when he saw Him, he fell at His feet,
23 And besought Him greatly, saying, My little daughter lieth
at the point of death: [I pray Thee], come and lay Thy hands on her, that she
may be healed; and she shall live.
24 And [Yahshua] went with him; and much people followed Him, and thronged Him.
25 And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years,
26 And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she
had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse,
27 When she had heard of Yahshua, came in the press behind, and touched His
garment.
28 For she said, If I may touch but His clothes, I shall be whole.
29 And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in
[her] body that she was healed of that plague.
30 And Yahshua, immediately knowing in Himself that virtue had gone out of Him,
turned Him about in the press, and said, Who touched My clothes?
31 And His disciples said unto Him, Thou seest the
multitude thronging Thee, and sayest Thou, Who
touched Me?
32 And He looked round about to see her that had done this thing.
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.
34 And He said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace,
and be whole of thy plague.
35 While He yet spake, there came from the ruler of the synagogue's [house
certain] which said, Thy daughter is dead: why troublest
thou the Master any further?
36 As soon as Yahshua heard the word that was spoken, He saith unto the ruler
of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe.
37 And He suffered no one to follow Him, save Peter, and James, and John the
brother of James.
38 And He cometh to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and seeth the tumult, and them that wept and wailed greatly.
39 And when He was come in, He saith unto them, Why make ye this ado, and weep?
the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth.
40 And they laughed Him to scorn. But when He had put them all out, He taketh
the father and the mother of the damsel, and them that were with Him, and entereth in where the damsel was lying.
41 And He took the damsel by the hand, and said unto her, Talitha
cumi; which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto
thee, arise.
42 And straightway the damsel arose, and walked; for she was [of the age] of
twelve years. And they were astonished with a great astonishment.
43 And He charged them straitly that no one should
know it; and commanded that something should be given her to eat.
1 And He went out from thence, and
came into His own country; and His disciples follow Him.
2 And when the sabbath day was come, He began to teach in the synagogue: and
many hearing [Him] were astonished, saying, From whence hath this [man] these
things? and what wisdom [is] this which is given unto Him, that even such
mighty works are wrought by His hands?
3 Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not His sisters here
with us? And they were offended at Him.
4 But Yahshua said unto them, A prophet is not without honour,
but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house.
5 And He could there do no mighty work, save that He laid His hands upon a few
sick folk, and healed [them].
6 And He marvelled because of their unbelief. And He went round about the
villages, teaching.
7 And He called [unto Him] the twelve, and began to send them forth by two and
two; and gave them power over unclean spirits;
8 And commanded them that they should take nothing for [their] journey, save a
staff only; no scrip, no bread, no money in [their] purse:
9 But [be] shod with sandals; and not put on two coats.
10 And He said unto them, In what place soever ye
enter into an house, there abide till ye depart from that place.
11 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence,
shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say
unto you, It shall be more tolerable for
12 And they went out, and preached that people should repent.
13 And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that were sick,
and healed [them].
14 And king Herod heard [of Him]; (for His name was spread abroad:) and he
said, That John the Baptist was risen from the dead, and therefore mighty works
do shew forth themselves in him.
15 Others said, That it is Elias. And others said, That it is a prophet, or as
one of the prophets.
16 But when Herod heard [thereof], he said, It is John, whom I beheaded: he is
risen from the dead.
17 For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon John, and bound him in
prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife: for he had married her.
18 For John had said unto Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have thy
brother's wife.
19 Therefore Herodias had a quarrel against him, and would have killed him; but
she could not:
20 For Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just man and an holy, and
observed him; and when he heard him, he did many things, and heard him gladly.
21 And when a convenient day was come, that Herod on his birthday made a supper
to his lords, high captains, and chief [estates] of Galilee;
22 And when the daughter of the said Herodias came in, and danced, and pleased
Herod and them that sat with him, the king said unto the damsel, Ask of me
whatsoever thou wilt, and I will give [it] thee.
23 And he sware unto her, Whatsoever thou shalt ask
of me, I will give [it] thee, unto the half of my kingdom.
24 And she went forth, and said unto her mother, What shall I ask? And she
said, The head of John the Baptist.
25 And she came in straightway with haste unto the king, and asked, saying, I
will that thou give me by and by upon a platter the head of John the Baptist.
26 And the king was exceeding sorry; [yet] for his oath's sake, and for their
sakes which sat with him, he would not reject her.
27 And immediately the king sent an executioner, and commanded his head to be
brought: and he went and beheaded him in the prison,
28 And brought his head upon a platter, and gave it to the damsel: and the
damsel gave it to her mother.
29 And when his disciples heard [of it], they came and took up his corpse, and
laid it in a tomb.
30 And the apostles gathered themselves together unto Yahshua, and told Him all
things, both what they had done, and what they had taught.
31 And He said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and
rest a while: for there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so
much as to eat.
32 And they departed into a desert place by ship privately.
33 And the people saw them departing,
and many knew Him, and ran afoot thither out of all cities, and outwent them,
and came together unto Him.
34 And Yahshua, when He came out, saw much people, and was moved with
compassion toward them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd: and
He began to teach them many things.
35 And when the day was now far spent, His disciples came unto Him, and said,
This is a desert place, and now the time [is] far passed:
36 Send them away, that they may go into the country round about, and into the
villages, and buy themselves bread: for they have nothing to eat.
37 He answered and said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they say unto Him,
Shall we go and buy two hundred pennyworth of bread, and give them to eat?
38 He saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? go and see. And when they knew,
they say, Five, and two fishes.
39 And He commanded them to make all sit down by companies upon the green
grass.
40 And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties.
41 And when He had taken the five loaves and the two fishes, He looked up to
heaven, and blessed, and brake the loaves, and gave [them] to His disciples to
set before them; and the two fishes divided He among them all.
42 And they did all eat, and were filled.
43 And they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments, and of the fishes.
44 And they that did eat of the loaves were about five thousand men.
45 And straightway He constrained His disciples to get into the ship, and to go
to the other side before unto
46 And when He had sent them away, He departed into a mountain to pray.
47 And when even was come, the ship was in the midst of the sea, and He alone
on the land.
48 And He saw them toiling in rowing; for the wind was contrary unto them: and
about the fourth watch of the night He cometh unto them, walking upon the sea,
and would have passed by them.
49 But when they saw Him walking upon the sea, they supposed it had been a
spirit, and cried out:
50 For they all saw Him, and were troubled. And immediately He talked with
them, and saith unto them, Be of good cheer: it is I; be not afraid.
51 And He went up unto them into the ship; and the wind ceased: and they were
sore amazed in themselves beyond measure, and wondered.
52 For they considered not [the miracle] of the loaves: for their heart was
hardened.
53 And when they had passed over, they came into the
54 And when they were come out of the ship, straightway they knew Him,
55 And ran through that whole region round about, and began to carry about in
beds those that were sick, where they heard He was.
56 And whithersoever He entered, into villages, or cities, or country, they
laid the sick in the streets, and besought Him that they might touch if it were
but the border of His garment: and as many as touched Him were made whole.
1 Then came together unto Him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes,
which came from
2 And when they saw some of His disciples eat bread with defiled, that is to say,
with unwashen, hands, they found fault.
3 For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash [their] hands oft, eat
not, holding the tradition of the elders.
4 And [when they come] from the market, except they wash, they eat not. And
many other things there be, which they have received to hold, [as] the washing
of cups, and pots, brasen vessels, and of tables.
5 Then the Pharisees and scribes asked Him, Why walk not Thy disciples
according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashen hands?
6 He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you
hypocrites, as it is written, "This people honoureth
Me with [their] lips, but their heart is far from
7 Howbeit in vain do they worship Me, teaching [for] doctrines the commandments
of men".
8 For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, [as]
the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.
9 And He said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye
may keep your own tradition.
10 For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother;
and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the
death:
11 But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, [It is] Corban, that
is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited
by me; [he shall be free].
12 And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother;
13 Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have
delivered: and many such like things do ye.
14 And when He had called all the people [unto Him], He said unto them, Hearken
unto Me every one [of you], and understand:
15 There is nothing from without a person, that entering into him can defile
him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile him.
16 If any one have ears to hear, let him hear.
17 And when He was entered into the house from the people, His disciples asked
Him concerning the parable.
18 And He saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not
perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth
into the person, [it] cannot defile him;
19 Because it entereth not into his heart, but into
the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging
all that is eaten?
20 And He said, That which cometh out of the person, that defileth
him.
21 For from within, out of the heart of people, proceed evil thoughts,
adulteries, fornications, murders,
22 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye,
blasphemy, pride, foolishness:
23 All these evil things come from within, and defile the person.
24 And from thence He arose, and went into the borders of
25 For a [certain] woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of
Him, and came and fell at His feet:
26 The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation;
and she besought Him that He would cast forth the devil out of her daughter.
27 But Yahshua 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.
28 And she answered and said unto Him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table
eat of the children's crumbs.
29 And He said unto her, For this saying go thy way; the devil is gone out of
thy daughter.
30 And when she was come to her house, she found the devil gone out, and her
daughter laid upon the bed.
31 And again, departing from the coasts of
32 And they bring unto Him one that was deaf, and had an impediment in his
speech; and they beseech Him to put His hand upon him.
33 And He took him aside from the multitude, and put His fingers into his ears,
and He spit, and touched his tongue;
34 And looking up to heaven, He sighed, and saith
unto Him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened.
35 And straightway his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was
loosed, and he spake plain.
36 And He charged them that they should tell no one: but the more He charged
them, so much the more a great deal they published [it];
37 And were beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath done all things well: He
maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.
1 In those days the multitude being very great, and having nothing to eat,
Yahshua called His disciples [unto Him], and saith unto them,
2 I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been with Me three
days, and have nothing to eat:
3 And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the
way: for divers of them came from far.
4 And His disciples answered Him, From whence can anyone satisfy these with
bread here in the wilderness?
5 And He asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven.
6 And He commanded the people to sit down on the ground: and He took the seven
loaves, and gave thanks, and brake, and gave to His disciples to set before
[them]; and they did set [them] before the people.
7 And they had a few small fishes: and He blessed, and commanded to set them
also before [them].
8 So they did eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken [meat] that
was left seven baskets.
9 And they that had eaten were about four thousand: and He sent them away.
10 And straightway He entered into a ship with His disciples, and came into the
parts of Dalmanutha.
11 And the Pharisees came forth, and began to question with Him, seeking of Him
a sign from heaven, tempting Him.
12 And He sighed deeply in His spirit, and saith, Why doth this generation seek
after a sign? verily I say unto you, There shall no sign be given unto this
generation.
13 And He left them, and entering into the ship again departed to the other
side.
14 Now [the disciples] had forgotten to take bread, neither had they in the
ship with them more than one loaf.
15 And He charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the
Pharisees, and [of] the leaven of Herod.
16 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, [It is] because we have no
bread.
17 And when Yahshua knew [it], He saith unto them, Why reason ye, because ye
have no bread? perceive ye not yet, neither understand? have ye your heart yet
hardened?
18 Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not
remember?
19 When I brake the five loaves among five thousand, how many baskets full of
fragments took ye up? They say unto Him, Twelve.
20 And when the seven among four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments
took ye up? And they said, Seven.
21 And He said unto them, How is it that ye do not understand?
22 And He cometh to
23 And He took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when
He had spit on his eyes, and put His hands upon him, He asked him if he saw
ought.
24 And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking.
25 After that He put [His] hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and
he was restored, and saw all clearly.
26 And He sent him away to his house, saying, Neither go into the town, nor
tell [it] to any in the town.
27 And Yahshua went out, and His disciples, into the towns of Caesarea
Philippi: and by the way He asked His disciples, saying unto them, Whom do
people say that I am?
28 And they answered, John the Baptist: but some [say], Elias; and others, One
of the prophets.
29 And He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Peter answereth and
saith unto Him, Thou art the Christ.
30 And He charged them that they should tell no one of Him.
31 And He began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and
be rejected of the elders, and [of] the chief priests, and scribes, and be
killed, and after three days rise again.
32 And He spake that saying openly. And Peter took Him, and began to rebuke
Him.
33 But when He had turned about and looked on His disciples, He rebuked Peter,
saying, Get thee behind Me, Satan: for thou savourest
not the things that be of God, but the things that be of men.
34 And when He had called the people [unto Him] with His disciples also, He
said unto them, Whosoever will come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up
his stake, and follow Me.
35 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his
life for My sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it.
36 For what shall it profit a person, if he shall gain the whole world, and
lose his own soul?
37 Or what shall a person give in exchange for his soul?
38 Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of Me and of My words in this
adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed,
when He cometh in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.
1 And He said unto them, Verily I
say unto you, That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste
of death, till they have seen the
2 And after six days Yahshua taketh [with Him] Peter, and James, and John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves:
and He was transfigured before them.
3 And His raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow; so as no fuller on
earth can white them.
4 And there appeared unto them Elias with Moses: and they were talking with
Yahshua.
5 And Peter answered and said to
Yahshua, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three
tabernacles; one for Thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.
6 For he wist not what to say; for they were sore
afraid.
7 And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voice came out of the
cloud, saying, This is My beloved Son: hear Him.
8 And suddenly, when they had looked round about, they saw no one any more,
save Yahshua only with themselves.
9 And as they came down from the mountain, He charged them that they should
tell no one what things they had seen, till the Son of man were risen from the
dead.
10 And they kept that saying with themselves, questioning one with another what
the rising from the dead should mean.
11 And they asked Him, saying, Why say the scribes that Elias must first come?
12 And He answered and told them, Elias verily cometh first, and restoreth all things; and how it is written of the Son of
man, that He must suffer many things, and be set at nought.
13 But I say unto you, That Elias is indeed come, and they have done unto him
whatsoever they listed, as it is written of him.
14 And when He came to [His] disciples, He saw a great multitude about them,
and the scribes questioning with them.
15 And straightway all the people, when they beheld Him, were greatly amazed,
and running to [Him] saluted Him.
16 And He asked the scribes, What question ye with them?
17 And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought unto Thee
my son, which hath a dumb spirit;
18 And wheresoever he taketh him, he teareth him: and he foameth, and gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth
away: and I spake to Thy disciples that they should cast him out; and they
could not.
19 He answereth him, and saith, O faithless generation, how long shall I be
with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto
20 And they brought him unto Him: and when he saw Him, straightway the spirit
tore him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming.
21 And He asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him? And he
said, Of a child.
22 And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and
into the waters, to destroy him: but if Thou canst do any thing, have
compassion on us, and help us.
23 Yahshua said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things [are] possible to
him that believeth.
24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears,
Lord, I believe; help Thou mine unbelief.
25 When Yahshua 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.
26 And [the spirit] cried, and rent him sore, and came out of him: and he was
as one dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead.
27 But Yahshua took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose.
28 And when He was come into the house, His disciples asked Him privately, Why
could not we cast him out?
29 And He said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer
and fasting.
30 And they departed thence, and passed through
31 For He taught His disciples, and said unto them, The Son of man is delivered
into the hands of men, and they shall kill Him; and after that He is killed, He
shall rise the third day.
32 But they understood not that saying, and were afraid to ask Him.
33 And He came to
34 But they held their peace: for by the way they had disputed among
themselves, who [should be] the greatest.
35 And He sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto them, If any one
desire to be first, [the same] shall be last of all, and servant of all.
36 And He took a child, and set him in the midst of them: and when He had taken
him in His arms, He said unto them,
37 Whosoever shall receive one of such children in My name, receiveth
Me: and whosoever shall receive Me, receiveth not Me,
but Him That sent Me.
38 And John answered Him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in Thy
name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him,
because he followeth not us.
39 But Yahshua said, Forbid him not: for there is no one which shall do a
miracle in My name, that can lightly speak evil of
40 For he that is not against us is on our part.
41 For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in My name, because ye
belong to the Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward.
42 And whosoever shall offend one of [these] little ones that believe in Me, it
is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast
into the sea.
43 And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into
life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never
shall be quenched:
44 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not
quenched.
45 And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt
into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never
shall be quenched:
46 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not
quenched.
47 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter
into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell
fire:
48 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not
quenched.
49 For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted
with salt.
50 Salt [is] good: but if the salt have lost his saltness,
wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with
another.
1 And He arose from thence, and cometh into the coasts of Judaea by the
farther side of
2 And the Pharisees came to Him, and asked Him, Is it lawful for a man to put
away [his] wife? tempting Him.
3 And He answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you?
4 And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put
[her] away.
5 And Yahshua answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he
wrote you this precept.
6 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.
7 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his
wife;
8 And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one
flesh.
9 What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
10 And in the house His disciples asked Him again of the same [matter].
11 And He saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry
another, committeth adultery against her.
12 And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.
13 And they brought young children to Him, that He should touch them: and [His]
disciples rebuked those that brought [them].
14 But when Yahshua 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
15 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the
16 And He took them up in His arms, put [His] hands upon them, and blessed
them.
17 And when He was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled
to Him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal
life?
18 And Yahshua said unto him, Why callest thou Me
good? [there is] none good but one, [that is], God.
19 Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit
adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother.
20 And he answered and said unto Him, Master, all these have I observed from my
youth.
21 Then Yahshua 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 stake,
and follow Me.
22 And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great
possessions.
23 And Yahshua looked round about, and saith unto His disciples, How hardly
shall they that have riches enter into the
24 And the disciples were astonished at His words. But Yahshua answereth again,
and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to
enter into the
25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich
one to enter into the
26 And they were astonished out of measure, saying among themselves, Who then
can be saved?
27 And Yahshua looking upon them saith, With men [it is] impossible, but not
with God: for with God all things are possible.
28 Then Peter began to say unto Him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed
Thee.
29 And Yahshua answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no one 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,
30 But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren,
and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in
the world to come eternal life.
31 But many [that are] first shall be last; and the last first.
32 And they were in the way going up to
33 [Saying], Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be
delivered unto the chief priests, and unto the scribes; and they shall condemn
Him to death, and shall deliver Him to the Gentiles:
34 And they shall mock Him, and shall scourge Him, and shall spit upon Him, and
shall kill Him: and the third day He shall rise again.
35 And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, come unto Him, saying, Master, we
would that Thou shouldest do for us whatsoever we
shall desire.
36 And He said unto them, What would ye that I should do for you?
37 They said unto Him, Grant unto us that we may sit, one on Thy right hand,
and the other on Thy left hand, in Thy glory.
38 But Yahshua said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask: can ye drink of the cup
that I drink of? and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?
39 And they said unto Him, We can. And Yahshua said unto them, Ye shall indeed
drink of the cup that I drink of; and with the baptism that I am baptized
withal shall ye be baptized:
40 But to sit on My right hand and on My left hand is not Mine to give; but [it
shall be given to them] for whom it is prepared.
41 And when the ten heard [it], they began to be much displeased with James and
John.
42 But Yahshua called them [to Him], and saith unto them, Ye know that they
which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and
their great ones exercise authority upon them.
43 But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will be great among you,
shall be your minister:
44 And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall
be servant of all.
45 For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and
to give His life a ransom for many.
46 And they came to
47 And when he heard that it was Yahshua of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and
say, Yahshua, [Thou] son of David, have mercy on me.
48 And many charged him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the more a
great deal, [Thou] son of David, have mercy on me.
49 And Yahshua stood still, and commanded him to be called. And they call the
blind man, saying unto him, Be of good comfort, rise; He calleth
thee.
50 And he, casting away his garment, rose, and came to Yahshua.
51 And Yahshua answered and said unto him, What wilt thou that I should do unto
thee? The blind man said unto Him, Lord, that I might receive my sight.
52 And Yahshua said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole. And
immediately he received his sight, and followed Yahshua in the way.
1 And when they came nigh to Jerusalem, unto Bethphage
and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, He sendeth forth
two of His disciples,
2 And saith unto them, Go your way into the village over against you: and as
soon as ye be entered into it, ye shall find a colt tied, whereon never one
sat; loose him, and bring [him].
3 And if any one say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye that the Lord hath need
of him; and straightway he will send him hither.
4 And they went their way, and found the colt tied by the door without in a
place where two ways met; and they loose him.
5 And certain of them that stood there said unto them, What do ye, loosing the
colt?
6 And they said unto them even as Yahshua had commanded: and they let them go.
7 And they brought the colt to Yahshua, and cast their garments on him; and He
sat upon him.
8 And many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down branches off
the trees, and strawed [them] in the way.
9 And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna;
Blessed [is] He That cometh in the name of the Lord:
10 Blessed [be] the kingdom of our father David, that cometh in the name of the
Lord: Hosanna in the highest.
11 And Yahshua entered into
12 And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, He was hungry:
13 And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, He came, if haply He might
find any thing thereon: and when He came to it, he found nothing but leaves;
for the time of figs was not [yet].
14 And Yahshua answered and said unto it, No one eat fruit of thee hereafter
for ever. And His disciples heard [it].
15 And they come to
16 And would not suffer that any should carry [any] vessel through the temple.
17 And He taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, "My house shall be
called of all nations the house of prayer"? but ye have made it a den of
thieves.
18 And the scribes and chief priests heard [it], and sought how they might
destroy Him: for they feared Him, because all the people was astonished at His
doctrine.
19 And when even was come, He went out of the city.
20 And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from
the roots.
21 And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto Him, Master, behold, the fig
tree which Thou cursedst is withered away.
22 And Yahshua answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
23 For verily I
say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and
be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe
that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever
he saith.
24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye
desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive [them], and ye shall have [them].
25 And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your
Father also Which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.
26 But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father Which is in heaven
forgive your trespasses.
27 And they come again to
28 And say unto Him, By what authority doest Thou these things? and who gave
Thee this authority to do these things?
29 And Yahshua answered and said unto them, I will also ask of you one
question, and answer Me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these
things.
30 The baptism of John, was [it] from heaven, or of men? Answer
31 And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; He
will say, Why then did ye not believe him?
32 But if we shall say, Of men; they feared the people: for all counted John,
that he was a prophet indeed.
33 And they answered and said unto Yahshua, We cannot tell. And Yahshua
answering saith unto them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these
things.
1 And He began to speak unto them
by parables. A [certain] man planted a vineyard, and set an hedge about [it],
and digged [a place for] the winefat,
and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country.
2 And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive
from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard.
3 And they caught [him], and beat
him, and sent [him] away empty.
4 And again he sent unto them another servant; and at him they cast stones, and
wounded [him] in the head, and sent [him] away shamefully handled.
5 And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many others; beating
some, and killing some.
6 Having yet therefore one son, his wellbeloved, he
sent him also last unto them, saying, They will reverence my son.
7 But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us
kill him, and the inheritance shall be ours.
8 And they took him, and killed [him], and cast [him] out of the vineyard.
9 What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy
the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others.
10 And have ye not read this scripture; "The stone which the builders
rejected is become the head of the corner:
11 This was Yahweh's doing, and it is marvellous in
our eyes"?
12 And they sought to lay hold on Him, but feared the people: for they knew
that He had spoken the parable against them: and they left Him, and went their
way.
13 And they send unto Him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, to catch Him in [His] words.
14 And when they were come, they say unto Him, Master, we know that Thou art
true, and carest for no one: for Thou regardest not the person of people, but teachest
the way of God in truth: Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?
15 Shall we give, or shall we not give? But He, knowing their hypocrisy, said
unto them, Why tempt ye Me? bring Me a penny, that I may see [it].
16 And they brought [it]. And He saith unto them, Whose [is] this image and
superscription? And they said unto Him, Caesar's.
17 And Yahshua answering said unto them, Render to Caesar the things that are
Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's. And they marvelled at Him.
18 Then come unto Him the Sadducees, which say there is no resurrection; and
they asked Him, saying,
19 Master, Moses wrote unto us, "If a man's brother die, and leave [his]
wife [behind him], and leave no children, that his brother should take his
wife, and raise up seed unto his brother".
20 Now there were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and dying left no
seed.
21 And the second took her, and died, neither left he any seed: and the third
likewise.
22 And the seven had her, and left no seed: last of all the woman died also.
23 In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife shall she be
of them? for the seven had her to wife.
24 And Yahshua answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye
know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?
25 For when they shall rise from
the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels
which are in heaven.
26 And as touching the dead, that they rise: have ye not read in the book of
Moses, how in the bush God spake unto him, saying, "I [am] the God of
Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob"?
27 He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living: ye therefore do
greatly err.
28 And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and
perceiving that He had answered them well, asked Him, Which is the first
commandment of all?
29 And Yahshua answered him, The first of all the commandments [is],
"Hear, O Israel; Yahweh [is] our God, one is Yahweh:
30 And thou shalt love Yahweh 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.
31 And the second [is] like, [namely] this, "Thou shalt love thy neighbour
as thyself". There is none other commandment greater than these.
32 And the scribe said unto Him, Well, Master, Thou hast said the truth: for
there is one God; and there is none other but He:
33 And to love Him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with
all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love [his] neighbour as
himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.
34 And when Yahshua saw that he answered discreetly, He said unto him, Thou art
not far from the
35 And Yahshua answered and said, while He taught in the temple, How say the
scribes that the Christ is the son of David?
36 For David himself said by the Holy Spirit, "Yahweh said to my Lord, Sit
Thou on My right hand, till I make Thine enemies Thy footstool".
37 David therefore himself calleth Him Lord; and
whence is He [then] his son? And the common people heard Him gladly.
38 And He said unto them in His doctrine, Beware of the scribes, which love to go
in long clothing, and [love] salutations in the marketplaces,
39 And the chief seats in the synagogues, and the uppermost rooms at feasts:
40 Which devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these
shall receive greater damnation.
41 And Yahshua sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast
money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much.
42 And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make
a farthing.
43 And He called [unto Him] His disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say
unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast
into the treasury:
44 For all [they] did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast
in all that she had, [even] all her living.
1 And as He went out of the temple,
one of His disciples saith unto Him, Master, see what manner of stones and what
buildings [are here]!
2 And Yahshua answering said unto him, Seest thou
these great buildings? there shall not be left one stone upon another, that
shall not be thrown down.
3 And as He sat upon the mount of Olives over against 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?
5 And Yahshua answering them began to say, Take heed lest any [one] deceive
you:
6 For many shall come in My name, saying, I am [the Christ]; and shall deceive
many.
7 And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars,
be ye not troubled: for [such things] must needs be; but the end [shall] not
[be] yet.
8 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there
shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles:
these [are] the beginnings of sorrows.
9 But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and
in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and
kings for My sake, for a testimony against them.
10 And the gospel must first be published among all nations.
11 But when they shall lead [you], and deliver you up, take no thought
beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye
premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for
it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Spirit.
12 Now the brother shall betray the
brother to death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against
[their] parents, and shall cause them to be put to death.
13 And ye shall be hated of all 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, (let him that readeth
understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:
15 And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house, neither
enter [therein], to take any thing out of his house:
16 And let him that is in the field not turn back again for to take up his
garment.
17 But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those
days!
18 And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter.
19 For [in] those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning
of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be.
20 And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved:
but for the elect's sake, whom He hath chosen, He hath shortened the days.
21 And then if any one shall say to you, Lo, here [is] the Christ; or, lo, [He
is] there; believe [him] not:
22 For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and
wonders, to seduce, if [it were] possible, even the elect.
23 But 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,
25 And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall
be shaken.
26 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power
and glory.
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.
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:
29 So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that
it is nigh, [even] at the doors.
30 Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these
things be done.
31 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but My words shall not pass away.
32 But of that day and [that] hour knoweth no one,
no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.
33 Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.
34 [For the Son of man is] as a man taking a far journey, who left his house,
and gave authority to his servants, and to every one his work, and commanded
the porter to watch.
35 Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at
even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning:
36 Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.
37 And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.
1 After two days was [the feast of]
the passover, and of unleavened bread: and the chief
priests and the scribes sought how they might take Him by craft, and put [Him]
to death.
2 But they said, Not on the feast [day], lest there be an uproar of the people.
3 And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as He sat at meat,
there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of spikenard very
precious; and she brake the box, and poured [it] on His head.
4 And there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said, Why was
this waste of the ointment made?
5 For it might have been sold for more than three hundred pence, and have been
given to the poor. And they murmured against her.
6 And Yahshua said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good
work on
7 For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever
ye will ye may do them good: but Me ye have not always.
8 She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand
to anoint My body to the burying.
9 Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel
shall be preached throughout the whole world, [this] also that she hath done
shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.
10 And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went unto the chief priests, to
betray Him unto them.
11 And when they heard [it], they were glad, and promised to give him money.
And he sought how he might conveniently betray Him.
12 And the first day of unleavened bread, when they killed the passover, His disciples said unto Him, Where wilt Thou that
we go and prepare that Thou mayest eat the passover?
13 And He sendeth forth two of His disciples, and
saith unto them, Go ye into the city, and there shall meet you a man bearing a
pitcher of water: follow him.
14 And wheresoever he shall go in, say ye to the goodman of the house,
The Master saith, Where is the guestchamber, where I
shall eat the passover with My disciples?
15 And he will shew you a large upper room furnished [and] prepared: there make
ready for us.
16 And His disciples went forth, and came into the city, and found as He had
said unto them: and they made ready the passover.
17 And in the evening He cometh with the twelve.
18 And as they sat and did eat, Yahshua said, Verily I say unto you, One of you
which eateth with Me shall betray Me.
19 And they began to be sorrowful, and to say unto Him one by one, [Is] it I? and
another [said, Is] it I?
20 And He answered and said unto them, [It is] one of the twelve, that dippeth with Me in the dish.
21 The Son of man indeed goeth, as it is written of
Him: but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! good were it for
that man if he had never been born.
22 And as they did eat, Yahshua took bread, and blessed, and brake [it], and
gave to them, and said, Take: this is My body.
23 And He took the cup, and when He had given thanks, He gave [it] to them: and
they all drank of it.
24 And He said unto them, This is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed
for many.
25 Verily I say unto you, I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine, until
that day that I drink it new in the
26 And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.
27 And Yahshua saith unto them, All ye shall be offended: for it is written,
"I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered".
28 But after that I am risen, I will go before you into
29 But Peter said unto Him, Although all shall be offended, yet [will] not I.
30 And Yahshua saith unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this day, [even] in
this night, before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny Me thrice.
31 But he spake the more vehemently, If I should die with Thee, I will not deny
Thee in any wise. Likewise also said they all.
32 And they came to a place which was named
33 And He taketh with Him Peter and James and John, and began to be sore
amazed, and to be very heavy;
34 And saith unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful unto death: tarry ye
here, and watch.
35 And He went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it
were possible, the hour might pass from Him.
36 And He said, Abba, Father, all things [are] possible unto Thee; take away
this cup from Me: nevertheless not what I will, but what Thou wilt.
37 And He cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and
saith unto Peter, Simon, sleepest thou? couldest not thou watch one hour?
38 Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter
into temptation. The spirit truly [is] ready, but the flesh [is] weak.
39 And again He went away, and prayed, and spake the same words.
40 And when He returned, He found them asleep again, (for their eyes were
heavy,) neither wist they what to answer Him.
41 And He cometh the third time, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take
[your] rest: it is enough, the hour is come; behold, the Son of man is betrayed
into the hands of sinners.
42 Rise up, let us go; lo, he that betrayeth Me is at
hand.
43 And immediately, while He yet spake, cometh Judas, one of the twelve, and
with Him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and
the scribes and the elders.
44 And he that betrayed Him had given them a token, saying, Whomsoever I shall
kiss, that same is He; take Him, and lead [Him] away safely.
45 And as soon as He was come, he goeth straightway
to Him, and saith, Master, Master; and kissed Him.
46 And they laid their hands on Him, and took Him.
47 And one of them that stood by drew a sword, and smote a servant of the high
priest, and cut off his ear.
48 And Yahshua answered and said unto them, Are ye come out, as against a
thief, with swords and [with] staves to take Me?
49 I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and ye took Me not: but the
scriptures must be fulfilled.
50 And they all forsook Him, and fled.
51 And there followed Him a certain young man, having a linen cloth cast about
[his] naked [body]; and the young men laid hold on him:
52 And he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked.
53 And they led Yahshua away to the high priest: and with him were assembled
all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes.
54 And Peter followed Him afar off, even into the palace of the high priest:
and he sat with the servants, and warmed himself at the fire.
55 And the chief priests and all the council sought for witness against Yahshua
to put Him to death; and found none.
56 For many bare false witness against Him, but their witness agreed not
together.
57 And there arose certain, and bare false witness against Him, saying,
58 We heard Him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and
within three days I will build another made without hands.
59 But neither so did their witness agree together.
60 And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Yahshua, saying, Answerest Thou nothing? what [is it which] these witness
against Thee?
61 But He held His peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked
Him, and said unto Him, Art Thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?
62 And Yahshua said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right
hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
63 Then the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What need we any further
witnesses?
64 Ye have heard the blasphemy:
what think ye? And they all condemned Him to be guilty of death.
65 And some began to spit on Him, and to cover His face, and to buffet Him, and
to say unto Him, Prophesy: and the servants did strike Him with the palms of
their hands.
66 And as Peter was beneath in the palace, there cometh one of the maids of the
high priest:
67 And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked upon him, and said, And
thou also wast with Yahshua of Nazareth.
68 But he denied, saying, I know not, neither understand I what thou sayest. And he went out into the porch; and the cock crew.
69 And a maid saw him again, and began to say to them that stood by, This is
[one] of them.
70 And he denied it again. And a little after, they that stood by said again to
Peter, Surely thou art [one] of them: for thou art a Galilaean,
and thy speech agreeth [thereto].
71 But he began to curse and to swear, [saying], I know not this man of Whom ye
speak.
72 And the second time the cock crew. And Peter called to mind the word that
Yahshua said unto him, Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny Me thrice.
And when he thought thereon, he wept.
1 And straightway in the morning
the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole
council, and bound Yahshua, and carried [Him] away, and delivered [Him] to
Pilate.
2 And Pilate asked Him, Art Thou the King of the Jews? And He answering said
unto him, Thou sayest [it].
3 And the chief priests accused Him of many things: but He answered nothing.
4 And Pilate asked Him again, saying, Answerest Thou
nothing? behold how many things they witness against Thee.
5 But Yahshua yet answered nothing; so that Pilate marvelled.
6 Now at [that] feast he released unto them one prisoner, whomsoever they
desired.
7 And there was [one] named Barabbas, [which lay] bound with them that had made
insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection.
8 And the multitude crying aloud began to desire [him to do] as he had ever
done unto them.
9 But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of
the Jews?
10 For he knew that the chief priests had delivered Him for envy.
11 But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release
Barabbas unto them.
12 And Pilate answered and said again unto them, What will ye then that I shall
do [unto Him] Whom ye call the King of the Jews?
13 And they cried out again, Crucify Him.
14 Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath He done? And they cried out
the more exceedingly, Crucify Him.
15 And [so] Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them,
and delivered Yahshua, when he had scourged [Him], to be crucified.
16 And the soldiers led Him away into the hall, called Praetorium;
and they call together the whole band.
17 And they clothed Him with purple, and platted a crown of thorns, and put it
about His [head],
18 And began to salute Him, Hail, King of the Jews!
19 And they smote Him on the head with a reed, and did spit upon Him, and
bowing [their] knees worshipped Him.
20 And when they had mocked Him, they took off the purple from Him, and put His
own clothes on Him, and led Him out to crucify Him.
21 And they compel one Simon a Cyrenian, who passed
by, coming out of the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to bear His
stake.
22 And they bring Him unto the place
23 And they gave Him to drink wine mingled with myrrh: but He received [it]
not.
24 And when they had crucified Him, they parted His garments, casting lots upon
them, what every man should take.
25 And it was the third hour, and they crucified Him.
26 And the superscription of His accusation was written over, THE KING OF THE
JEWS.
27 And with Him they crucify two thieves; the one on His right hand, and the
other on His left.
28 And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, "And He was numbered with
the transgressors".
29 And they that passed by railed on Him, wagging their heads, and saying, Ah, Thou
That destroyest the temple, and buildest
[it] in three days,
30 Save Thyself, and come down from the stake.
31 Likewise also the chief priests mocking said among themselves with the
scribes, He saved others; Himself He cannot save.
32 Let the Christ, the King of Israel, descend now from the stake, that we may
see and believe. And they that were crucified with Him reviled Him.
33 And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land
until the ninth hour.
34 And at the ninth hour Yahshua cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi,
lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My
God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?
35 And some of them that stood by, when they heard [it], said, Behold, He calleth Elias.
36 And one ran and filled a spunge full of vinegar,
and put [it] on a reed, and gave Him to drink, saying, Let alone; let us see
whether Elias will come to take Him down.
37 And Yahshua cried with a loud voice, and gave up the spirit.
38 And the veil of the temple was
rent in twain from the top to the bottom.
39 And when the centurion, which stood over against Him, saw that He so cried
out, and gave up the spirit, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God.
40 There were also women looking on afar off: among whom was Mary Magdalene, and
Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and
Salome;
41 (Who also, when He was in Galilee, followed Him, and ministered unto Him;)
and many other women which came up with Him unto
42 And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation, that is, the
day before the sabbath,
43 Joseph of Arimathaea, an honourable
counsellor, which also waited for the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly
unto Pilate, and craved the body of Yahshua.
44 And Pilate marvelled if He were already dead: and calling [unto him] the
centurion, he asked him whether He had been any while dead.
45 And when he knew [it] of the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph.
46 And he bought fine linen, and took Him down, and wrapped Him in the linen,
and laid Him in a sepulchre which was hewn out of a
rock, and rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulchre.
47 And Mary Magdalene and Mary [the mother] of Joses
beheld where He was laid.
1 And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the [mother] of James,
and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint Him.
2 And very early in the morning the first [day] of the week, they came unto the
sepulchre at the rising of the sun.
3 And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the
door of the sepulchre?
4 And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was
very great.
5 And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young
man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were
affrighted.
6 And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Yahshua of Nazareth, Which
was crucified: He is risen; He is not here: behold the place where they laid
Him.
7 But go your way, tell His disciples and Peter that He goeth
before you into
8 And they went out quickly, and fled from the sepulchre;
for they trembled and were amazed: neither said they any thing to any [one];
for they were afraid.
9 Now when [Yahshua] was risen early the first [day] of the week, He appeared
first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils.
10 [And] she went and told them that had been with Him, as they mourned and
wept.
11 And they, when they had heard that He was alive, and had been seen of her,
believed not.
12 After that He appeared in another form unto two of them, as they walked, and
went into the country.
13 And they went and told [it] unto the residue: neither believed they them.
14 Afterward He appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided
them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them
which had seen Him after He was risen.
15 And He said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to
every creature.
16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not
shall be damned.
17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In My name shall they cast
out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall
not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, He was received up into heaven,
and sat on the right hand of God.
20 And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with [them],
and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.
