Mark 2 Part 1 of 2

1 After a fewe dayes also, he entred into Capernaum agayne, and it was noysed yt he was in the house.

2 And anone many were gathered together, in somuch that nowe there was no rowme to receaue them, no, not so muche as about the dore: and he preached the word vnto them.

3 And they came vnto hym, bryngyng one sicke of the paulsie, whiche was borne of foure men.

4 And when they coulde not come nye vnto hym for prease, they vncouered the roofe of the house that he was in: And whe they had broken vp the roofe, they dyd with cordes let downe the bedde, wherin the sicke of the paulsie lay.

5 When Iesus sawe their fayth, he saide vnto the sicke of the paulsie: Sonne, thy synnes be forgeuen thee.

6 But there were certayne of the scribes syttyng there, and reasonyng in theyr heartes:

7 Why doeth he thus speake blasphemies? Who can forgeue sinnes, but God only?

8 And immediatly, when Iesus perceaued in his spirite, that they so reasoned within them selues, he saith vnto them: why reason ye suche thynges in your heartes?

9 Whether is it easyer to say to the sicke of the paulsie, thy synnes be forgeuen thee: or to say, aryse, take vp thy bedde, and walke?

10 But that ye may know, that the sonne of man hath power in earth to forgeue synnes (He spake vnto the sicke of the paulsie)

11 I saye vnto thee, aryse, and take vp thy bedde, and get thee hence vnto thine house.

12 And immediatly he arose, toke vp the bedde, and went foorth before them all: insomuch that they were all amazed, & glorified God, saying: we neuer sawe it on this fashion.

13 And he went againe vnto the sea: and all the people resorted vnto him, and he taught them.

14 And as Iesus passed bye, he sawe Leui the sonne of Alphee, sittyng at the receipt of custome, and sayde vnto hym: folowe me. And he arose, and folowed hym.

15 And it came to passe, that when Iesus sate at meate in his house, many publicanes and sinners sate also together at meate with Iesus and his disciples: for there were many that folowed him.

16 And when the scribes and pharisees sawe hym eate with publicanes and sinners, they saide vnto his disciples: howe is it that he eateth and drynketh with publicanes and synners?

17 When Iesus hearde that, he saide vnto them: They that be whole, haue no nede of the phisition, but they that are sicke: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentaunce.

18 And the disciples of Iohn, & the Pharisees dyd fast. And they come, and say vnto him: Why do ye disciples of Iohn, and of the Pharisees fast, but thy disciples fast not?

19 And Iesus sayde vnto them: Can the chyldren of the brydechaumber fast, whyle the brydegrome is with them? As long as they haue the brydegrome with them, they can not fast.

20 But the dayes wyll come, when the brydegrome shalbe taken awaye from them, and then shall they fast in those dayes.

21 No man also soweth a peece of newe cloth, vnto an olde garment: otherwayes, his newe peece taketh awaye from the olde, and so the rent is made worse.

22 And no man powreth newe wine into olde vessels: els the newe wine doth burst the vessels, and the wine runneth out, and the vessels are marred: But newe wine, must be put into newe vessels.

23 And it came to passe, that he went thorowe the corne fieldes on the Sabboth dayes, and his disciples began by ye way to plucke the eares of corne.

24 And the pharisees sayde vnto hym: Beholde, why do they on the Sabboth dayes, that which is not lawfull?

25 And he sayde vnto them: Haue ye neuer read what Dauid did, when he had nede, and was an hungred, both he, and they that were with hym?

26 Howe he went into the house of God in the dayes of Abiathar the hye prieste, and dyd eate the shewe bread, which is not lawfull to eate, but for the priestes, and gaue also to them which were with hym?

27 And he sayde vnto them: The Sabboth was made for man, and not man for the Sabboth.

28 Therfore is the sonne of man, Lorde also of the Sabboth.

Mark 3 Part 2 of 2

1 And he entred agayne into the synagogue, & a man was there whiche had a wythered hande:

2 And they watched hym, whether he woulde heale hym on the Sabboth daye, that they myght accuse hym.

3 And he saide vnto the man which had the wythered hande: Aryse, and stande in the myddes.

4 And he saide vnto them: Is it lawful to do good on the Sabboth dayes, or to do euyl? to saue lyfe, or to kyll? But they helde their peace.

5 And when he had loked rounde about on them with anger, mournyng for the hardnesse of their heartes, he sayth to the man: stretch foorth thyne hande. And he stretched it out: And his hande was restored, euen as whole as the other.

6 And the pharisees departed, and strayghtway gathered a councell, with the Herodians, agaynst hym, that they myght destroy hym.

7 But Iesus auoyded, with his disciples, to the sea: And a great multitude folowed hym from Galilee, and from Iurie,

8 And from Hierusalem, & from Idumea, and from beyonde Iordane, and they that dwelled about Tyre & Sidon, a great multitude of men: Which, whe they had hearde what thynges he dyd, came vnto hym.

9 And Iesus comaunded his disciples, that a shippe shoulde wayte on hym, because of the people, leste they shoulde thronge hym.

10 For he had healed many: insomuche, that they preassed vpon him for to touch hym, as many as had plagues.

11 And when the vncleane spirites sawe hym, they fell downe before hym, and cryed, saying: Thou art the sonne of God.

12 And he straytely charged them, that they shoulde not make hym knowen.

13 And he went vp into a mountayne, & called vnto him whom he woulde: and they came vnto hym.

14 And he ordeyned twelue, that they shoulde be with him, and that he might sende them foorth to preache,

15 And that they myght haue power to heale sicknesses, and to cast out deuyls.

16 And he gaue vnto Simon to name, Peter.

17 And he called Iames the sonne of Zebedee, and Iohn, Iames brother (and gaue them to name Boanarges, which is to say, the sonnes of thunder.)

18 And Andrewe, and Philip, and Bartholomewe, and Matthewe, and Thomas, and Iames the sonne of Alphee, and Thaddeus, and Simon Cananite,

19 And Iudas Iscariot, which also betrayed hym. And they came into the house:

20 And the people assembled together agayne, so that they had no leysure so much as to eate bread.

21 And when they that belonged vnto hym, hearde of it, they went out to laye handes vpon hym: For they sayde, he is madde.

22 And the scribes whiche came downe from Hierusalem, sayde: He hath Beelzebub, and by the chiefe deuyll, casteth he out deuyls.

23 And he called them vnto hym, & sayde vnto them in parables: Howe can Satan driue out Satan?

24 And yf a realme be deuided agaynst it selfe, that realme can not endure.

25 And yf a house be deuided agaynst it selfe, that house can not continue.

26 And yf Satan make insurrection agaynst him selfe & be deuided, he can not continue, but hath an ende.

27 No man can enter into a strong mans house, and take away his goodes, except he first bynde the strong man, and then spoyle his house.

28 Ueryly I say vnto you, al sinnes shalbe forgeuen vnto the chyldren of men, & blasphemies wherewith so euer they haue blasphemed:

29 But he that speaketh blasphemie agaynst the holy ghoste, hath neuer forgeuenesse, but is in daunger of eternall dampnation.

30 For they sayde: he hath an vncleane spirite.

31 There came also his mother, and his brethren, and stoode without, and sent vnto hym, to call hym out.

32 And the people sate about him, & saide vnto hym: Beholde, thy mother and thy brethren seke for thee without.

33 And he aunswered them, saying: who is my mother, and my brethren?

34 And when he had loked rounde about on his disciples, which sate in compasse about hym, he sayde: Beholde my mother, and my brethren.

35 For whosoeuer doeth the wyl of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother.
