And they were astonished at his teaching: for he taught them as having authority, and not as the 23 scribes. And straightway there was in their synagogue 24 a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth art thou come to destroy us? I know thee 25 who thou art, the Holy One of God. And Jesus rebuked 1him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out 1 Or, it 26 of him. And the unclean spirit, tearing him and 2 Or, convulsing 27 crying with a loud voice, came out of him. And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What is this? a new teaching! with authority he commandeth even the unclean spirits, 28 and they obey him. And the report of him went out straightway everywhere into all the region of Galilee round about. 29 ancient was come out And straightway, when they were come out of the 3 Some synagogue, they came into the house of Simon and authorities 30 Andrew, with James and John.

God they that were with him watching Jesus, when they saw the earthquake, and the things that were done, 1 Or, a son of feared exceedingly, saying, Truly this was 'the Son of God. And many women were there beholding from 55 afar, which had followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him: among whom was Mary Magdalene, and 56 Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee. And when even was come, there came a rich man 57 from Arimathæa, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus' disciple: this man went to Pilate, and asked for 58 the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded it to be given up. And Joseph took the body, and wrapped 59 it in a clean linen cloth, and laid it in his own new 60 tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb, and departed. And Mary Magdalene was there, and the other 61 Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre. Now on the morrow, which is the day after the 62 Preparation, the chief priests and the Pharisees were gathered together unto Pilate, saying, Sir, we remem- 63 ber that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I rise again. Command therefore 64 that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest haply his disciples come and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: and the last error will be worse than the first. Pilate said 65 2 Or, Take a unto them, 2 Ye have a guard: go your way, make guard it as sure as ye can. So they went, and made the 66 sure, as ye sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, the guard being with them. 3 Gr. make it know. Now late on the sabbath day, as it began to dawn 28 toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre. And behold, 2 there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled away the stone, and sat upon it. His appearance was as 3 lightning, and his raiment white as snow and for fear 4 of him the watchers did quake, and became as dead men. And the angel answered and said unto the 5 women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, 1 ancient he lay. 6 which hath been crucified. He is not here; for he is risen, even as he said. Come, see the place 1 where 1 Many 7 the Lord lay.

Then saith Jesus unto them, Fear not go tell my brethren that they depart into Galilee, and there shall they see me. 8 have told you. tomb with fear 9 disciples word. All hail. 11 Now while they were going, behold, some of the guard came into the city, and told unto the chief 12 priests all the things that were come to pass. And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave large money unto the soldiers, 13 saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole 14 him away while we slept. And if this come to the 2 Or, come governor's ears, we will persuade him, and rid you before the 15 of care. So they took the money, and did as they governor were taught: and this saying was spread abroad among the Jews, and continueth until this day. 16 But the eleven disciples went into Galilee, unto the 17 mountain where Jesus had appointed them. And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some 18 doubted. And Jesus came to them and spake unto them, saying, All authority hath been given unto me 19 in heaven and on earth. Go ye therefore, and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy 20 Ghost teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I commanded you: and lo, I am with you "alway, even unto the end of the world. to a hearing THE GOSPEL 1 Some ancient authorities omit the Son of God. 2 Some ancient authorities read in the prophets. ACCORDING TO S. MAR K. THE beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the 1 Son of God. Even as it is written in Isaiah the prophet, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, 2 John came, who baptized in the wilderness and preach- 4 ed the baptism of repentance unto remission of sins. And there went out unto him all the country of 5 Judæa, and all they of Jerusalem; and they were baptized of him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins. And John was clothed with camel's hair, and 6 had a leathern girdle about his loins, and did eat locusts and wild honey. And he preached, saying, 7 There cometh after me he that is mightier than I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose. I baptized you with water; but 8 5 Or, Holy he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost. 3 Gr. sufficient. 4 Or, in Spirit: and so throughout this book. 6 Gr. into. And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came 9 from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in the Jordan. And straightway coming up out of 10 the water, he saw the heavens rent asunder, and the Spirit as a dove descending upon him: and a voice 11 came out of the heavens, Thou art my beloved Son, in thee I am well pleased. And straightway the Spirit driveth him forth into the 12 wilderness. And he was in the wilderness forty days 13 tempted of Satan; and he was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto him. Now after that John was delivered up, Jesus came 14 15 into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God, and saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand repent ye, and believe in the gospel. 16 And passing along by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew the brother of Simon casting a net 17 in the sea for they were fishers. And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to be18 come fishers of men. And straightway they left the 19 nets, and followed him. And going on a little further, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the boat mending the nets. 20 And straightway he called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, and went after him. 21 And they go into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath day he entered into the synagogue and 22 taught.
