The Bible, King James version, Book 41: Mark. Unknown

sitting at the receipt of custom, and said unto him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him.

      41:002:015 And it came to pass, that, as Jesus sat at meat in his house, many publicans and sinners sat also together with Jesus and his disciples: for there were many, and they followed him.

      41:002:016 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?

      41:002:017 When Jesus 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.

      41:002:018 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?

      41:002:019 And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them? as long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.

      41:002:020 But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days.

      41:002:021 No man 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.

      41:002:022 And no man 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.

      41:002:023 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.

      41:002:024 And the Pharisees said unto him, Behold, why do they on the sabbath day that which is not lawful?

      41:002:025 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?

      41:002:026 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?

      41:002:027 And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath:

      41:002:028 Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.

      41:003:001 And he entered again into the synagogue; and there was a man there which had a withered hand.

      41:003:002 And they watched him, whether he would heal him on the sabbath day; that they might accuse him.

      41:003:003 And he saith unto the man which had the withered hand, Stand forth.

      41:003:004 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.

      41:003:005 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.

      41:003:006 And the Pharisees went forth, and straightway took counsel with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him.

      41:003:007 But Jesus withdrew himself with his disciples to the sea: and a great multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judaea,

      41:003:008 And from Jerusalem, and from Idumaea, and from beyond Jordan; and they about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, when they had heard what great things he did, came unto him.

      41:003:009 And he spake to his disciples, that a small ship should wait on him because of the multitude, lest they should throng him.

      41:003:010 For he had healed many; insomuch that they pressed upon him for to touch him, as many as had plagues.

      41:003:011 And unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down before him, and cried, saying, Thou art the Son of God.

      41:003:012 And he straitly charged them that they should not make him known.

      41:003:013 And he goeth up into a mountain, and calleth unto him whom he would: and they came unto him.

      41:003:014 And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach,

      41:003:015 And to have power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils:

      41:003:016 And Simon he surnamed Peter;

      41:003:017 And James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James; and he surnamed them Boanerges, which is, The sons of thunder:

      41:003:018 And Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Canaanite,

      41:003:019 And Judas Iscariot, which also betrayed him: and they went into an house.

      41:003:020 And the multitude cometh together again, so that they could not so much as eat bread.

      41:003:021 And when his friends heard of it, they went out to lay hold on him: for they said, He is beside himself.

      41:003:022 And the scribes which came down from Jerusalem said, He hath Beelzebub, and by the prince of the devils casteth he out devils.

      41:003:023 And he called them unto him, and said unto them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan?

      41:003:024 And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.

      41:003:025 And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand.

      41:003:026 And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end.

      41:003:027 No man 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.

      41:003:028 Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme:

      41:003:029 But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation.

      41:003:030 Because they said, He hath an unclean spirit.

      41:003:031 There came then his brethren and his mother, and, standing without, sent unto him, calling him.

      41:003:032 And the multitude sat about him, and they said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee.

      41:003:033 And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother, or my brethren?

      41:003:034 And he looked round about on them which sat about him, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!

      41:003:035 For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother.

      41:004:001 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.

      41:004:002 And he taught them many things by parables, and said unto them in his doctrine,

      41:004:003 Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow:

      41:004:004 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.

      41:004:005 And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth:

      41:004:006 But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.

      41:004:007 And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.

      41:004:008 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.

      41:004:009 And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

      41:004:010 And when he was alone, they that were about
