Mark 11:1 And when they came nigh to Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sendeth forth two of his disciples, MC VC

Mark 11:2 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 man sat; loose him, and bring him. MC VC

Mark 11:3 And if any man say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye that the Lord hath need of him; and straightway he will send him hither. MC VC

Mark 11:4 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. MC VC

Mark 11:5 And certain of them that stood there said unto them, What do ye, loosing the colt? MC VC

Mark 11:6 And they said unto them even as Jesus had commanded: and they let them go. MC VC

Mark 11:7 And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments on him; and he sat upon him. MC VC

Mark 11:8 And many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down branches off the trees, and strawed them in the way. MC VC

Mark 11:9 And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord: MC VC

Mark 11:10 Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest. 4 I MC VC

Mark 11:11 And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple: and when he had looked round about upon all things, and now the eventide was come, he went out unto Bethany with the twelve. MC VC

Mark 11:12 And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry: MC VC

Mark 11:13 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. MC VC

Mark 11:14 And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it. MC VC

Mark 11:15 And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves; MC VC

Mark 11:16 And would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple. MC VC

Mark 11:17 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. MC VC

Mark 11:18 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. MC VC

Mark 11:19 And when even was come, he went out of the city. MC VC

Mark 11:20 And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. MC VC

Mark 11:21 And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away. MC VC

Mark 11:22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. 4 I MC VC

Mark 11:23 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. 7 I MC VC

Mark 11:24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. 23 I MC VC

Mark 11:25 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. 7 I MC VC

Mark 11:26 But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses. MC VC

Mark 11:27 And they come again to Jerusalem: and as he was walking in the temple, there come to him the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders, MC VC

Mark 11:28 And say unto him, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority to do these things? MC VC

Mark 11:29 And Jesus 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. MC VC

Mark 11:30 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men? answer me. MC VC

Mark 11:31 And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then did ye not believe him? MC VC

Mark 11:32 But if we shall say, Of men; they feared the people: for all men counted John, that he was a prophet indeed. MC VC

Mark 11:33 And they answered and said unto Jesus, We cannot tell. And Jesus answering saith unto them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things. MC VC

Mark 12:1 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. MC VC

Mark 12:2 And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard. MC VC

Mark 12:3 And they caught him, and beat him, and sent him away empty. MC VC

Mark 12:4 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. MC VC

Mark 12:5 And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many others; beating some, and killing some. MC VC

Mark 12:6 Having yet therefore one son, his wellbeloved, he sent him also last unto them, saying, They will reverence my son. MC VC

Mark 12:7 But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be ours.’ MC VC

Mark 12:8 And they took him, and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard. MC VC

Mark 12:9 What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others. MC VC

Mark 12:10 And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner: 5 I MC VC

Mark 12:11 This was the Lord’s doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes? MC VC

Mark 12:12 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. MC VC

Mark 12:13 And they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, to catch him in his words. MC VC

Mark 12:14 And when they were come, they say unto him, Master, we know that thou art true, and carest for no man: for thou regardest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth: Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not? MC VC

Mark 12:15 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. MC VC

Mark 12:16 And they brought it. And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? And they said unto him, Caesar’s. MC VC

Mark 12:17 And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s. And they marvelled at him. 2 I MC VC

Mark 12:18 Then come unto him the Sadducees, which say there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying, MC VC

Mark 12:19 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. MC VC

Mark 12:20 Now there were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed. MC VC

Mark 12:21 And the second took her, and died, neither left he any seed: and the third likewise. MC VC

Mark 12:22 And the seven had her, and left no seed: last of all the woman died also. MC VC

Mark 12:23 In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife. MC VC

Mark 12:24 And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God? MC VC

Mark 12:25 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. 7 I MC VC

Mark 12:26 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? MC VC

Mark 12:27 He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living: ye therefore do greatly err. 5 I MC VC

Mark 12:28 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? MC VC

Mark 12:29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: 8 I MC VC

Mark 12:30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. 25 I MC VC

Mark 12:31 And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these. 8 I MC VC

Mark 12:32 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: 3 I MC VC

Mark 12:33 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. 9 I MC VC

Mark 12:34 And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question. MC VC

Mark 12:35 And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that Christ is the son of David? MC VC

Mark 12:36 For David himself said by the Holy Ghost, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool. MC VC

Mark 12:37 David therefore himself calleth him Lord; and whence is he then his son? And the common people heard him gladly. MC VC

Mark 12:38 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, MC VC

Mark 12:39 And the chief seats in the synagogues, and the uppermost rooms at feasts: MC VC

Mark 12:40 Which devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater damnation. MC VC

Mark 12:41 And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much. MC VC

Mark 12:42 And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing. 2 I MC VC

Mark 12:43 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: 2 I MC VC

Mark 12:44 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. MC VC
