Book 41 Mark

41:001:001 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God;

41:001:002 As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger

before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.

41:001:003 The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way

of the Lord, make his paths straight.

41:001:004 John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of

repentance for the remission of sins.

41:001:005 And there went out unto him all the land of Judaea, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized of him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins.

41:001:006 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;

41:001:007 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.

41:001:008 I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize

you with the Holy Ghost.

41:001:009 And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from

Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan.

41:001:010 And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens

opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him:

41:001:011 And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my

beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

41:001:012 And immediately the spirit driveth him into the wilderness.

41:001:013 And he was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted of Satan; and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto him.

41:001:014 Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into

Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,

41:001:015 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is

at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.

41:001:016 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.

41:001:017 And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.

41:001:018 And straightway they forsook their nets, and followed him.

41:001:019 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.

41:001:020 And straightway he called them: and they left their father

Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants, and went after

him.

41:001:021 And they went into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath

day he entered into the synagogue, and taught.

41:001:022 And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them

as one that had authority, and not as the scribes.

41:001:023 And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit;

and he cried out,

41:001:024 Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.

41:001:025 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of

him.

41:001:026 And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a

loud voice, he came out of him.

41:001:027 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.

41:001:028 And immediately his fame spread abroad throughout all the region round about Galilee.

41:001:029 And forthwith, when they were come out of the synagogue, they entered into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.

41:001:030 But Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever, and anon they

tell him of her.

41:001:031 And he came and took her by the hand, and lifted her up; and

immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them.

41:001:032 And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all

that were diseased, and them that were possessed with devils.

41:001:033 And all the city was gathered together at the door.

41:001:034 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.

41:001:035 And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he

went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there

prayed.

41:001:036 And Simon and they that were with him followed after him.

41:001:037 And when they had found him, they said unto him, All men seek

for thee.

41:001:038 And he said unto them, Let us go into the next towns, that I

may preach there also: for therefore came I forth.

41:001:039 And he preached in their synagogues throughout all Galilee,

and cast out devils.

41:001:040 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.

41:001:041 And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and

touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean.

41:001:042 And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed

from him, and he was cleansed.

41:001:043 And he straitly charged him, and forthwith sent him away;

41:001:044 And saith unto him, See thou say nothing to any man: but go

thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy

cleansing those things which Moses commanded, for a testimony

unto them.

41:001:045 But he went out, and began to publish it much, and to blaze

abroad the matter, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly

enter into the city, but was without in desert places: and

they came to him from every quarter.

41:002:001 And again he entered into Capernaum after some days; and it was noised that he was in the house.

41:002:002 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.

41:002:003 And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four.

41:002:004 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.

41:002:005 When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the

palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee.

41:002:006 But there was certain of the scribes sitting there, and

reasoning in their hearts,

41:002:007 Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins

but God only?

41:002:008 And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they

so reasoned within themselves, he said unto them, Why reason

ye these things in your hearts?

41:002:009 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?

41:002:010 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,)

41:002:011 I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way

into thine house.

41:002:012 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.

41:002:013 And he went forth again by the sea side; and all the multitude resorted unto him, and he taught them.

41:002:014 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.

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 him with the

twelve asked of him the parable.

41:004:011 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:

41:004:012 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.

41:004:013 And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables?

41:004:014 The sower soweth the word.

41:004:015 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.

41:004:016 And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground;

who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it

with gladness;

41:004:017 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.

41:004:018 And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word,

41:004:019 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.

41:004:020 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.

41:004:021 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?

41:004:022 For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad.

41:004:023 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.

41:004:024 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.

41:004:025 For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not,

from him shall be taken even that which he hath.

41:004:026 And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast

seed into the ground;

41:004:027 And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should

spring and grow up, he knoweth not how.

41:004:028 For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the

blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.

41:004:029 But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in

the sickle, because the harvest is come.

41:004:030 And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or

with what comparison shall we compare it?

41:004:031 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:

41:004:032 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.

41:004:033 And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as

they were able to hear it.

41:004:034 But without a parable spake he not unto them: and when they

were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples.

41:004:035 And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them,

Let us pass over unto the other side.

41:004:036 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.

41:004:037 And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.

41:004:038 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?

41:004:039 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.

41:004:040 And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?

41:004:041 And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?

41:005:001 And they came over unto the other side of the sea, into the

country of the Gadarenes.

41:005:002 And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met

him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,

41:005:003 Who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind

him, no, not with chains:

41:005:004 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 man tame him.

41:005:005 And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones.

41:005:006 But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him,

41:005:007 And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not.

41:005:008 For he said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean

spirit.

41:005:009 And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying,

My name is Legion: for we are many.

41:005:010 And he besought him much that he would not send them away out

of the country.

41:005:011 Now there was there nigh unto the mountains a great herd of

swine feeding.

41:005:012 And all the devils besought him, saying, Send us into the

swine, that we may enter into them.

41:005:013 And forthwith Jesus 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.

41:005:014 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.

41:005:015 And they come to Jesus, 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.

41:005:016 And they that saw it told them how it befell to him that was possessed with the devil, and also concerning the swine.

41:005:017 And they began to pray him to depart out of their coasts.

41:005:018 And when he was come into the ship, he that had been possessed with the devil prayed him that he might be with him.

41:005:019 Howbeit Jesus 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.

41:005:020 And he departed, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him: and all men did marvel.

41:005:021 And when Jesus was passed over again by ship unto the other side, much people gathered unto him: and he was nigh unto the sea.

41:005:022 And, behold, there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and when he saw him, he fell at his feet,

41:005:023 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.

41:005:024 And Jesus went with him; and much people followed him, and thronged him.

41:005:025 And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years,

41:005:026 And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse,

41:005:027 When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and

touched his garment.

41:005:028 For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be

whole.

41:005:029 And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and

she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.

41:005:030 And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes?

41:005:031 And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?

41:005:032 And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing.

41:005:033 But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.

41:005:034 And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.

41:005:035 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?

41:005:036 As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto

the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe.

41:005:037 And he suffered no man to follow him, save Peter, and James,

and John the brother of James.

41:005:038 And he cometh to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and

seeth the tumult, and them that wept and wailed greatly.

41:005:039 And when he was come in, he saith unto them, Why make ye this

ado, and weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth.

41:005:040 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.

41:005:041 And he took the damsel by the hand, and said unto her, Talitha

cumi; which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee,

arise.

41:005:042 And straightway the damsel arose, and walked; for she was of

the age of twelve years. And they were astonished with a great

astonishment.

41:005:043 And he charged them straitly that no man should know it; and

commanded that something should be given her to eat.

41:006:001 And he went out from thence, and came into his own country;

and his disciples follow him.

41:006:002 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?

41:006:003 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.

41:006:004 But Jesus, said unto them, A prophet is not without honour,

but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own

house.

41:006:005 And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his

hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them.

41:006:006 And he marvelled because of their unbelief. And he went round

about the villages, teaching.

41:006:007 And he called unto him the twelve, and began to send them

forth by two and two; and gave them power over unclean

spirits;

41:006:008 And commanded them that they should take nothing for their

journey, save a staff only; no scrip, no bread, no money in

their purse:

41:006:009 But be shod with sandals; and not put on two coats.

41:006:010 And he said unto them, In what place soever ye enter into an house, there abide till ye depart from that place.

41:006:011 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 Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.

41:006:012 And they went out, and preached that men should repent.

41:006:013 And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them.

41:006:014 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.

41:006:015 Others said, That it is Elias. And others said, That it is a

prophet, or as one of the prophets.

41:006:016 But when Herod heard thereof, he said, It is John, whom I

beheaded: he is risen from the dead.

41:006:017 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.

41:006:018 For John had said unto Herod, It is not lawful for thee to

have thy brother's wife.

41:006:019 Therefore Herodias had a quarrel against him, and would have

killed him; but she could not:

41:006:020 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.

41:006:021 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;

41:006:022 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.

41:006:023 And he sware unto her, Whatsoever thou shalt ask of me, I will

give it thee, unto the half of my kingdom.

41:006:024 And she went forth, and said unto her mother, What shall I

ask? And she said, The head of John the Baptist.

41:006:025 And she came in straightway with haste unto the king, and asked, saying, I will that thou give me by and by in a charger the head of John the Baptist.

41:006:026 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.

41:006:027 And immediately the king sent an executioner, and commanded his head to be brought: and he went and beheaded him in the prison,

41:006:028 And brought his head in a charger, and gave it to the damsel:

and the damsel gave it to her mother.

41:006:029 And when his disciples heard of it, they came and took up his

corpse, and laid it in a tomb.

41:006:030 And the apostles gathered themselves together unto Jesus, and

told him all things, both what they had done, and what they

had taught.

41:006:031 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.

41:006:032 And they departed into a desert place by ship privately.

41:006:033 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.

41:006:034 And Jesus, 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.

41:006:035 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:

41:006:036 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.

41:006:037 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?

41:006:038 He saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? go and see. And

when they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes.

41:006:039 And he commanded them to make all sit down by companies upon

the green grass.

41:006:040 And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties.

41:006:041 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.

41:006:042 And they did all eat, and were filled.

41:006:043 And they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments, and of

the fishes.

41:006:044 And they that did eat of the loaves were about five thousand

men.

41:006:045 And straightway he constrained his disciples to get into the ship, and to go to the other side before unto Bethsaida, while he sent away the people.

41:006:046 And when he had sent them away, he departed into a mountain to

pray.

41:006:047 And when even was come, the ship was in the midst of the sea,

and he alone on the land.

41:006:048 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.

41:006:049 But when they saw him walking upon the sea, they supposed it had been a spirit, and cried out:

41:006:050 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.

41:006:051 And he went up unto them into the ship; and the wind ceased:

and they were sore amazed in themselves beyond measure, and

wondered.

41:006:052 For they considered not the miracle of the loaves: for their

heart was hardened.

41:006:053 And when they had passed over, they came into the land of

Gennesaret, and drew to the shore.

41:006:054 And when they were come out of the ship, straightway they knew

him,

41:006:055 And ran through that whole region round about, and began to carry about in beds those that were sick, where they heard he was.

41:006:056 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.

41:007:001 Then came together unto him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, which came from Jerusalem.

41:007:002 And when they saw some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, that is to say, with unwashen, hands, they found fault.

41:007:003 For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands oft, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders.

41:007:004 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.

41:007:005 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?

41:007:006 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 me.

41:007:007 Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

41:007:008 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.

41:007:009 And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of

God, that ye may keep your own tradition.

41:007:010 For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso

curseth father or mother, let him die the death:

41:007:011 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.

41:007:012 And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his

mother;

41:007:013 Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition,

which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.

41:007:014 And when he had called all the people unto him, he said unto

them, Hearken unto me every one of you, and understand:

41:007:015 There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man.

41:007:016 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.

41:007:017 And when he was entered into the house from the people, his disciples asked him concerning the parable.

41:007:018 And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him;

41:007:019 Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly,

and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats?

41:007:020 And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth

the man.

41:007:021 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil

thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,

41:007:022 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an

evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:

41:007:023 All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.

41:007:024 And from thence he arose, and went into the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and entered into an house, and would have no man know it: but he could not be hid.

41:007:025 For a certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet:

41:007:026 The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation; and she

besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her

daughter.

41:007:027 But Jesus 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.

41:007:028 And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs

under the table eat of the children's crumbs.

41:007:029 And he said unto her, For this saying go thy way; the devil is

gone out of thy daughter.

41:007:030 And when she was come to her house, she found the devil gone

out, and her daughter laid upon the bed.

41:007:031 And again, departing from the coasts of Tyre and Sidon, he

came unto the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts

of Decapolis.

41:007:032 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.

41:007:033 And he took him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers

into his ears, and he spit, and touched his tongue;

41:007:034 And looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith unto him,

Ephphatha, that is, Be opened.

41:007:035 And straightway his ears were opened, and the string of his

tongue was loosed, and he spake plain.

41:007:036 And he charged them that they should tell no man: but the more

he charged them, so much the more a great deal they published

it;

41:007:037 And were beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath done all

things well: he maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to

speak.

41:008:001 In those days the multitude being very great, and having

nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples unto him, and saith

unto them,

41:008:002 I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been

with me three days, and have nothing to eat:

41:008:003 And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will

faint by the way: for divers of them came from far.

41:008:004 And his disciples answered him, From whence can a man satisfy

these men with bread here in the wilderness?

41:008:005 And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said,

Seven.

41:008:006 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.

41:008:007 And they had a few small fishes: and he blessed, and commanded

to set them also before them.

41:008:008 So they did eat, and were filled: and they took up of the

broken meat that was left seven baskets.

41:008:009 And they that had eaten were about four thousand: and he sent

them away.

41:008:010 And straightway he entered into a ship with his disciples, and

came into the parts of Dalmanutha.

41:008:011 And the Pharisees came forth, and began to question with him,

seeking of him a sign from heaven, tempting him.

41:008:012 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.

41:008:013 And he left them, and entering into the ship again departed to

the other side.

41:008:014 Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread, neither had

they in the ship with them more than one loaf.

41:008:015 And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven

of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod.

41:008:016 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we

have no bread.

41:008:017 And when Jesus 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?

41:008:018 Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember?

41:008:019 When I brake the five loaves among five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? They say unto him, Twelve.

41:008:020 And when the seven among four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? And they said, Seven.

41:008:021 And he said unto them, How is it that ye do not understand?

41:008:022 And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man unto him, and besought him to touch him.

41:008:023 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.

41:008:024 And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking.

41:008:025 After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him

look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly.

41:008:026 And he sent him away to his house, saying, Neither go into the

town, nor tell it to any in the town.

41:008:027 And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into the towns of Caesarea Philippi: and by the way he asked his disciples, saying unto them, Whom do men say that I am?

41:008:028 And they answered, John the Baptist; but some say, Elias; and

others, One of the prophets.

41:008:029 And he saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Peter

answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ.

41:008:030 And he charged them that they should tell no man of him.

41:008:031 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.

41:008:032 And he spake that saying openly. And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him.

41:008:033 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.

41:008:034 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 cross, and follow me.

41:008:035 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.

41:008:036 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?

41:008:037 Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

41:008:038 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.

41:009:001 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 kingdom of God come with power.

41:009:002 And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and

John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by

themselves: and he was transfigured before them.

41:009:003 And his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow; so as

no fuller on earth can white them.

41:009:004 And there appeared unto them Elias with Moses: and they were

talking with Jesus.

41:009:005 And Peter answered and said to Jesus, 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.

41:009:006 For he wist not what to say; for they were sore afraid.

41:009:007 And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voice came

out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.

41:009:008 And suddenly, when they had looked round about, they saw no

man any more, save Jesus only with themselves.

41:009:009 And as they came down from the mountain, he charged them that they should tell no man what things they had seen, till the Son of man were risen from the dead.

41:009:010 And they kept that saying with themselves, questioning one

with another what the rising from the dead should mean.

41:009:011 And they asked him, saying, Why say the scribes that Elias

must first come?

41:009:012 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.

41:009:013 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.

41:009:014 And when he came to his disciples, he saw a great multitude

about them, and the scribes questioning with them.

41:009:015 And straightway all the people, when they beheld him, were

greatly amazed, and running to him saluted him.

41:009:016 And he asked the scribes, What question ye with them?

41:009:017 And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought unto thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit;

41:009:018 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.

41:009:019 He answereth him, and saith, O faithless generation, how long

shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him

unto me.

41:009:020 And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him,

straightway the spirit tare him; and he fell on the ground,

and wallowed foaming.

41:009:021 And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him? And he said, Of a child.

41:009:022 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.

41:009:023 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are

possible to him that believeth.

41:009:024 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said

with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.

41:009:025 When Jesus 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.

41:009:026 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.

41:009:027 But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he

arose.

41:009:028 And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him

privately, Why could not we cast him out?

41:009:029 And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing,

but by prayer and fasting.

41:009:030 And they departed thence, and passed through Galilee; and he

would not that any man should know it.

41:009:031 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.

41:009:032 But they understood not that saying, and were afraid to ask him.

41:009:033 And he came to Capernaum: and being in the house he asked them, What was it that ye disputed among yourselves by the way?

41:009:034 But they held their peace: for by the way they had disputed among themselves, who should be the greatest.

41:009:035 And he sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto them, If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all.

41:009:036 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,

41:009:037 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.

41:009:038 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.

41:009:039 But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which

shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of

me.

41:009:040 For he that is not against us is on our part.

41:009:041 For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my

name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he

shall not lose his reward.

41:009:042 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.

41:009:043 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:

41:009:044 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

41:009:045 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:

41:009:046 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

41:009:047 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:

41:009:048 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

41:009:049 For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt.

41:009:050 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.

41:010:001 And he arose from thence, and cometh into the coasts of Judaea

by the farther side of Jordan: and the people resort unto him

again; and, as he was wont, he taught them again.

41:010:002 And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him, Is it lawful for

a man to put away his wife? tempting him.

41:010:003 And he answered and said unto them, What did Moses command

you?

41:010:004 And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement,

and to put her away.

41:010:005 And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of

your heart he wrote you this precept.

41:010:006 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and

female.

41:010:007 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and

cleave to his wife;

41:010:008 And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more

twain, but one flesh.

41:010:009 What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put

asunder.

41:010:010 And in the house his disciples asked him again of the same

matter.

41:010:011 And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and

marry another, committeth adultery against her.

41:010:012 And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to

another, she committeth adultery.

41:010:013 And they brought young children to him, that he should touch

them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them.

41:010:014 But when Jesus 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 kingdom of God.

41:010:015 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom

of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.

41:010:016 And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and

blessed them.

41:010:017 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?

41:010:018 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God.

41:010:019 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.

41:010:020 And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I observed from my youth.

41:010:021 Then Jesus 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 cross, and follow me.

41:010:022 And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions.

41:010:023 And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!

41:010:024 And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God!

41:010:025 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle,

than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

41:010:026 And they were astonished out of measure, saying among

themselves, Who then can be saved?

41:010:027 And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible,

but not with God: for with God all things are possible.

41:010:028 Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and

have followed thee.

41:010:029 And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is

no man 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,

41:010:030 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.

41:010:031 But many that are first shall be last; and the last first.

41:010:032 And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus went

before them: and they were amazed; and as they followed, they

were afraid. And he took again the twelve, and began to tell

them what things should happen unto him,

41:010:033 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:

41:010:034 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.

41:010:035 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.

41:010:036 And he said unto them, What would ye that I should do for you?

41:010:037 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.

41:010:038 But Jesus 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?

41:010:039 And they said unto him, We can. And Jesus 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:

41:010:040 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.

41:010:041 And when the ten heard it, they began to be much displeased

with James and John.

41:010:042 But Jesus 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.

41:010:043 But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will be great

among you, shall be your minister:

41:010:044 And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of

all.

41:010:045 For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to

minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

41:010:046 And they came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho with his disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the highway side begging.

41:010:047 And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me.

41:010:048 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.

41:010:049 And Jesus 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.

41:010:050 And he, casting away his garment, rose, and came to Jesus.

41:010:051 And Jesus 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.

41:010:052 And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee

whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed

Jesus in the way.

41:011:001 And when they came nigh to Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and

Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sendeth forth two of his

disciples,

41:011:002 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.

41:011:003 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.

41:011:004 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.

41:011:005 And certain of them that stood there said unto them, What do

ye, loosing the colt?

41:011:006 And they said unto them even as Jesus had commanded: and they

let them go.

41:011:007 And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments on

him; and he sat upon him.

41:011:008 And many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down

branches off the trees, and strawed them in the way.

41:011:009 And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord:

41:011:010 Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.

41:011:011 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.

41:011:012 And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry:

41:011:013 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.

41:011:014 And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it.

41:011:015 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;

41:011:016 And would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple.

41:011:017 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.

41:011:018 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.

41:011:019 And when even was come, he went out of the city.

41:011:020 And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree

dried up from the roots.

41:011:021 And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master,

behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.

41:011:022 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.

41:011:023 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.

41:011:024 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

41:011:025 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.

41:011:026 But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.

41:011:027 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,

41:011:028 And say unto him, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority to do these things?

41:011:029 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.

41:011:030 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men? answer me.

41:011:031 And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say,

From heaven; he will say, Why then did ye not believe him?

41:011:032 But if we shall say, Of men; they feared the people: for all

men counted John, that he was a prophet indeed.

41:011:033 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.

41:012:001 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.

41:012:002 And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard.

41:012:003 And they caught him, and beat him, and sent him away empty.

41:012:004 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.

41:012:005 And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many

others; beating some, and killing some.

41:012:006 Having yet therefore one son, his wellbeloved, he sent him

also last unto them, saying, They will reverence my son.

41:012:007 But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir;

come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be our's.

41:012:008 And they took him, and killed him, and cast him out of the

vineyard.

41:012:009 What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others.

41:012:010 And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner:

41:012:011 This was the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?

41:012:012 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.

41:012:013 And they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, to catch him in his words.

41:012:014 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?

41:012:015 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.

41:012:016 And they brought it. And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? And they said unto him, Caesar's.

41:012:017 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.

41:012:018 Then come unto him the Sadducees, which say there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying,

41:012:019 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.

41:012:020 Now there were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and

dying left no seed.

41:012:021 And the second took her, and died, neither left he any seed:

and the third likewise.

41:012:022 And the seven had her, and left no seed: last of all the woman

died also.

41:012:023 In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose

wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife.

41:012:024 And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err,

because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?

41:012:025 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.

41:012:026 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?

41:012:027 He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living: ye therefore do greatly err.

41:012:028 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?

41:012:029 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:

41:012:030 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.

41:012:031 And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy

neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater

than these.

41:012:032 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:

41:012:033 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.

41:012:034 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.

41:012:035 And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that Christ is the son of David?

41:012:036 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.

41:012:037 David therefore himself calleth him Lord; and whence is he then his son? And the common people heard him gladly.

41:012:038 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,

41:012:039 And the chief seats in the synagogues, and the uppermost rooms

at feasts:

41:012:040 Which devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long

prayers: these shall receive greater damnation.

41:012:041 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.

41:012:042 And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing.

41:012:043 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:

41:012:044 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.

41:013:001 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!

41:013:002 And Jesus answering said unto him, Seest thou these great

buildings? there shall not be left one stone upon another,

that shall not be thrown down.

41:013:003 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives over against the

temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew asked him

privately,

41:013:004 Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the

sign when all these things shall be fulfilled?

41:013:005 And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man

deceive you:

41:013:006 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall

deceive many.

41:013:007 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.

41:013:008 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.

41:013:009 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.

41:013:010 And the gospel must first be published among all nations.

41:013:011 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 Ghost.

41:013:012 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.

41:013:013 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

41:013:014 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:

41:013:015 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:

41:013:016 And let him that is in the field not turn back again for to

take up his garment.

41:013:017 But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give

suck in those days!

41:013:018 And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter.

41:013:019 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.

41:013:020 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.

41:013:021 And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not:

41:013:022 For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.

41:013:023 But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.

41:013:024 But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be

darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,

41:013:025 And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in

heaven shall be shaken.

41:013:026 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds

with great power and glory.

41:013:027 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.

41:013:028 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet

tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near:

41:013:029 So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to

pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors.

41:013:030 Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass,

till all these things be done.

41:013:031 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass

away.

41:013:032 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the

angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.

41:013:033 Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time

is.

41:013:034 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

man his work, and commanded the porter to watch.

41:013:035 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:

41:013:036 Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.

41:013:037 And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.

41:014:001 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.

41:014:002 But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar of the people.

41:014:003 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.

41:014:004 And there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made?

41:014:005 For it might have been sold for more than three hundred pence, and have been given to the poor. And they murmured against her.

41:014:006 And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath

wrought a good work on me.

41:014:007 For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will

ye may do them good: but me ye have not always.

41:014:008 She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand to anoint

my body to the burying.

41:014:009 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.

41:014:010 And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went unto the chief

priests, to betray him unto them.

41:014:011 And when they heard it, they were glad, and promised to give

him money. And he sought how he might conveniently betray him.

41:014:012 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?

41:014:013 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.

41:014:014 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?

41:014:015 And he will shew you a large upper room furnished and prepared: there make ready for us.

41:014:016 And his disciples went forth, and came into the city, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover.

41:014:017 And in the evening he cometh with the twelve.

41:014:018 And as they sat and did eat, Jesus said, Verily I say unto

you, One of you which eateth with me shall betray me.

41:014:019 And they began to be sorrowful, and to say unto him one by

one, Is it I? and another said, Is it I?

41:014:020 And he answered and said unto them, It is one of the twelve,

that dippeth with me in the dish.

41:014:021 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.

41:014:022 And as they did eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake

it, and gave to them, and said, Take, eat: this is my body.

41:014:023 And he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it

to them: and they all drank of it.

41:014:024 And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament,

which is shed for many.

41:014:025 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 kingdom of God.

41:014:026 And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.

41:014:027 And Jesus saith unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered.

41:014:028 But after that I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee.

41:014:029 But Peter said unto him, Although all shall be offended, yet will not I.

41:014:030 And Jesus 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.

41:014:031 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.

41:014:032 And they came to a place which was named Gethsemane: and he

saith to his disciples, Sit ye here, while I shall pray.

41:014:033 And he taketh with him Peter and James and John, and began to

be sore amazed, and to be very heavy;

41:014:034 And saith unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful unto

death: tarry ye here, and watch.

41:014:035 And he went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and

prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from

him.

41:014:036 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.

41:014:037 And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto

Peter, Simon, sleepest thou? couldest not thou watch one hour?

41:014:038 Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit

truly is ready, but the flesh is weak.

41:014:039 And again he went away, and prayed, and spake the same words.

41:014:040 And when he returned, he found them asleep again, (for their eyes were heavy,) neither wist they what to answer him.

41:014:041 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.

41:014:042 Rise up, let us go; lo, he that betrayeth me is at hand.

41:014:043 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.

41:014:044 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.

41:014:045 And as soon as he was come, he goeth straightway to him, and saith, Master, master; and kissed him.

41:014:046 And they laid their hands on him, and took him.

41:014:047 And one of them that stood by drew a sword, and smote a

servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.

41:014:048 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Are ye come out, as

against a thief, with swords and with staves to take me?

41:014:049 I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and ye took me

not: but the scriptures must be fulfilled.

41:014:050 And they all forsook him, and fled.

41:014:051 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:

41:014:052 And he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked.

41:014:053 And they led Jesus away to the high priest: and with him were

assembled all the chief priests and the elders and the

scribes.

41:014:054 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.

41:014:055 And the chief priests and all the council sought for witness

against Jesus to put him to death; and found none.

41:014:056 For many bare false witness against him, but their witness

agreed not together.

41:014:057 And there arose certain, and bare false witness against him,

saying,

41:014:058 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.

41:014:059 But neither so did their witness agree together.

41:014:060 And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus,

saying, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness

against thee?

41:014:061 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?

41:014:062 And Jesus 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.

41:014:063 Then the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What need we

any further witnesses?

41:014:064 Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye? And they all

condemned him to be guilty of death.

41:014:065 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.

41:014:066 And as Peter was beneath in the palace, there cometh one of

the maids of the high priest:

41:014:067 And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked upon him,

and said, And thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth.

41:014:068 But he denied, saying, I know not, neither understand I what thou sayest. And he went out into the porch; and the cock crew.

41:014:069 And a maid saw him again, and began to say to them that stood by, This is one of them.

41:014:070 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.

41:014:071 But he began to curse and to swear, saying, I know not this man of whom ye speak.

41:014:072 And the second time the cock crew. And Peter called to mind

the word that Jesus said unto him, Before the cock crow twice,

thou shalt deny me thrice. And when he thought thereon, he

wept.

41:015:001 And straightway in the morning the chief priests held a

consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole

council, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered

him to Pilate.

41:015:002 And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he

answering said unto them, Thou sayest it.

41:015:003 And the chief priests accused him of many things: but he

answered nothing.

41:015:004 And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing?

behold how many things they witness against thee.

41:015:005 But Jesus yet answered nothing; so that Pilate marvelled.

41:015:006 Now at that feast he released unto them one prisoner, whomsoever they desired.

41:015:007 And there was one named Barabbas, which lay bound with them that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection.

41:015:008 And the multitude crying aloud began to desire him to do as he

had ever done unto them.

41:015:009 But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto

you the King of the Jews?

41:015:010 For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy.

41:015:011 But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them.

41:015:012 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?

41:015:013 And they cried out again, Crucify him.

41:015:014 Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? And they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him.

41:015:015 And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.

41:015:016 And the soldiers led him away into the hall, called

Praetorium; and they call together the whole band.

41:015:017 And they clothed him with purple, and platted a crown of

thorns, and put it about his head,

41:015:018 And began to salute him, Hail, King of the Jews!

41:015:019 And they smote him on the head with a reed, and did spit upon him, and bowing their knees worshipped him.

41:015:020 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.

41:015:021 And they compel one Simon a Cyrenian, who passed by, coming

out of the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to bear

his cross.

41:015:022 And they bring him unto the place Golgotha, which is, being

interpreted, The place of a skull.

41:015:023 And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh: but he

received it not.

41:015:024 And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments,

casting lots upon them, what every man should take.

41:015:025 And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.

41:015:026 And the superscription of his accusation was written over, THE

KING OF THE JEWS.

41:015:027 And with him they crucify two thieves; the one on his right

hand, and the other on his left.

41:015:028 And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was

numbered with the transgressors.

41:015:029 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,

41:015:030 Save thyself, and come down from the cross.

41:015:031 Likewise also the chief priests mocking said among themselves with the scribes, He saved others; himself he cannot save.

41:015:032 Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reviled him.

41:015:033 And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.

41:015:034 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

41:015:035 And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he calleth Elias.

41:015:036 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.

41:015:037 And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost.

41:015:038 And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom.

41:015:039 And when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw that

he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this

man was the Son of God.

41:015:040 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;

41:015:041 (Who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him, and

ministered unto him;) and many other women which came up with

him unto Jerusalem.

41:015:042 And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath,

41:015:043 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 Jesus.

41:015:044 And Pilate marvelled if he were already dead: and calling unto

him the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while

dead.

41:015:045 And when he knew it of the centurion, he gave the body to

Joseph.

41:015:046 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.

41:015:047 And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses beheld where he was laid.

41:016:001 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.

41:016:002 And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they

came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun.

41:016:003 And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the

stone from the door of the sepulchre?

41:016:004 And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away:

for it was very great.

41:016:005 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.

41:016:006 And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of

Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here:

behold the place where they laid him.

41:016:007 But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth

before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said

unto you.

41:016:008 And they went out quickly, and fled from the sepulchre; for

they trembled and were amazed: neither said they any thing to

any man; for they were afraid.

41:016:009 Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he

appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast

seven devils.

41:016:010 And she went and told them that had been with him, as they

mourned and wept.

41:016:011 And they, when they had heard that he was alive, and had been

seen of her, believed not.

41:016:012 After that he appeared in another form unto two of them, as

they walked, and went into the country.

41:016:013 And they went and told it unto the residue: neither believed

they them.

41:016:014 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.

41:016:015 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach

the gospel to every creature.

41:016:016 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that

believeth not shall be damned.

41:016:017 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name

shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

41:016:018 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.

41:016:019 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.

41:016:020 And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg™

Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org.

Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or federal tax identification number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state’s laws.

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg™ electronic works

Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search facility: www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
