Jesus in Mark

The Berean Standard Bible is shown; switch to the King James or American Standard Version.

1. 1:1

   This is the beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

2. 1:3

   “A voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for Him.’”

3. 1:9

   In those days Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan.

4. 1:11

   And a voice came from heaven: “You are My beloved Son; in You I am well pleased.”

5. 1:14

   After the arrest of John, Jesus went into Galilee and proclaimed the gospel of God.

6. 1:17

   “Come, follow Me,” Jesus said, “and I will make you fishers of men.”

7. 1:24

   “What do You want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are—the Holy One of God!”

8. 1:25

   But Jesus rebuked the spirit. “Be silent!” He said. “Come out of him!”

9. 1:41

   Moved with compassion, Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” He said. “Be clean!”

10. 1:45

    But the man went out and openly began to proclaim and spread the news. Consequently, Jesus could no longer enter a town in plain view, but He stayed out in solitary places. Yet people came to Him from every quarter.

11. 2:5

    When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven.”

12. 2:8

    At once Jesus knew in His spirit that they were thinking this way within themselves. “Why are you thinking these things in your hearts?” He asked.

13. 2:10

    But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins...” He said to the paralytic,

14. 2:15

    While Jesus was dining at Levi’s house, many tax collectors and sinners were eating with Him and His disciples—for there were many who followed Him.

15. 2:17

    On hearing this, Jesus told them, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”

16. 2:19

    Jesus replied, “How can the guests of the bridegroom fast while He is with them? As long as He is with them, they cannot fast.

17. 2:28

    Therefore, the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.”

18. 3:7

    So Jesus withdrew with His disciples to the sea, accompanied by a large crowd from Galilee, Judea,

19. 3:11

    And when the unclean spirits saw Him, they fell down before Him and cried out, “You are the Son of God!”

20. 5:6

    When the man saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and fell on his knees before Him.

21. 5:7

    And he shouted in a loud voice, “What do You want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg You before God not to torture me!”

22. 5:13

    He gave them permission, and the unclean spirits came out and went into the pigs, and the herd of about two thousand rushed down the steep bank into the sea and drowned in the water.

23. 5:15

    When they came to Jesus, they saw the man who had been possessed by the legion of demons sitting there, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.

24. 5:19

    But Jesus would not allow him. “Go home to your own people,” He said, “and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and what mercy He has shown you.”

25. 5:20

    So the man went away and began to proclaim throughout the Decapolis how much Jesus had done for him. And everyone was amazed.

26. 5:21

    When Jesus had again crossed by boat to the other side, a large crowd gathered around Him beside the sea.

27. 5:24

    So Jesus went with him, and a large crowd followed and pressed around Him.

28. 5:27

    When the woman heard about Jesus, she came up through the crowd behind Him and touched His cloak.

29. 5:30

    At once Jesus was aware that power had gone out from Him. Turning to the crowd, He asked, “Who touched My garments?”

30. 5:36

    But Jesus overheard their conversation and said to Jairus, “Do not be afraid; just believe.”

31. 6:3

    Isn’t this the carpenter, the son of Mary and the brother of James, Joses, Judas, and Simon? Aren’t His sisters here with us as well?” And they took offense at Him.

32. 6:4

    Then Jesus said to them, “Only in his hometown, among his relatives, and in his own household is a prophet without honor.”

33. 6:30

    Meanwhile, the apostles gathered around Jesus and brought Him news of all they had done and taught.

34. 6:34

    When Jesus stepped ashore and saw a large crowd, He had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. And He began to teach them many things.

35. 7:27

    “First let the children have their fill,” He said. “For it is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.”

36. 7:28

    “Yes, Lord,” she replied, “even the dogs under the table eat the children’s crumbs.”

37. 8:1

    In those days the crowd once again became very large, and they had nothing to eat. Jesus called the disciples to Him and said,

38. 8:17

    Aware of their conversation, Jesus asked them, “Why are you debating about having no bread? Do you still not see or understand? Do you have such hard hearts?

39. 8:27

    Then Jesus and His disciples went on to the villages around Caesarea Philippi. On the way, He questioned His disciples: “Who do people say I am?”

40. 8:29

    “But what about you?” Jesus asked. “Who do you say I am?” Peter answered, “You are the Christ.”

41. 8:31

    Then He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and that He must be killed and after three days rise again.

42. 8:38

    If anyone is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him when He comes in His Father’s glory with the holy angels.”

43. 9:2

    After six days Jesus took with Him Peter, James, and John, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. There He was transfigured before them.

44. 9:4

    And Elijah and Moses appeared before them, talking with Jesus.

45. 9:5

    Peter said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters—one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”

46. 9:7

    Then a cloud appeared and enveloped them, and a voice came from the cloud: “This is My beloved Son. Listen to Him!”

47. 9:8

    Suddenly, when they looked around, they saw no one with them except Jesus.

48. 9:9

    As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus admonished them not to tell anyone what they had seen until the Son of Man had risen from the dead.

49. 9:12

    He replied, “Elijah does indeed come first, and he restores all things. Why then is it written that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected?

50. 9:23

    “If You can?” echoed Jesus. “All things are possible to him who believes!”

51. 9:24

    Immediately the boy’s father cried out, “I do believe; help my unbelief!”

52. 9:25

    When Jesus saw that a crowd had come running, He rebuked the unclean spirit. “You deaf and mute spirit,” He said, “I command you to come out and never enter him again.”

53. 9:27

    But Jesus took him by the hand and helped him to his feet, and he stood up.

54. 9:31

    because He was teaching His disciples. He told them, “The Son of Man will be delivered into the hands of men. They will kill Him, and after three days He will rise.”

55. 9:39

    “Do not stop him,” Jesus replied. “For no one who performs a miracle in My name can turn around and speak evil of Me.

56. 9:41

    Indeed, if anyone gives you even a cup of water because you bear the name of Christ, truly I tell you, he will never lose his reward.

57. 10:5

    But Jesus told them, “Moses wrote this commandment for you because of your hardness of heart.

58. 10:14

    But when Jesus saw this, He was indignant and told them, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them! For the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.

59. 10:18

    “Why do you call Me good?” Jesus replied. “No one is good except God alone.

60. 10:21

    Jesus looked at him, loved him, and said to him, “There is one thing you lack: Go, sell everything you own and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow Me.”

61. 10:23

    Then Jesus looked around and said to His disciples, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!”

62. 10:24

    And the disciples were amazed at His words. But Jesus said to them again, “Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God!

63. 10:27

    Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but not with God. For all things are possible with God.”

64. 10:29

    “Truly I tell you,” Jesus replied, “no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for My sake and for the gospel

65. 10:32

    As they were going up the road to Jerusalem, Jesus was walking ahead of them. The disciples were amazed, but those who followed were afraid. Again Jesus took the Twelve aside and began to tell them what was going to happen to Him:

66. 10:33

    “Look, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and scribes. They will condemn Him to death and will deliver Him over to the Gentiles,

67. 10:38

    “You do not know what you are asking,” Jesus replied. “Can you drink the cup I will drink, or be baptized with the baptism I will undergo?”

68. 10:39

    “We can,” the brothers answered. “You will drink the cup that I drink,” Jesus said, “and you will be baptized with the baptism that I undergo.

69. 10:42

    So Jesus called them together and said, “You know that those regarded as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their superiors exercise authority over them.

70. 10:45

    For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.”

71. 10:47

    When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”

72. 10:48

    Many people admonished him to be silent, but he cried out all the louder, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”

73. 10:49

    Jesus stopped and said, “Call him.” So they called the blind man. “Take courage!” they said. “Get up! He is calling for you.”

74. 10:50

    Throwing off his cloak, Bartimaeus jumped up and came to Jesus.

75. 10:51

    “What do you want Me to do for you?” Jesus asked. “Rabboni,” said the blind man, “let me see again.”

76. 10:52

    “Go,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you.” And immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus along the road.

77. 11:3

    If anyone asks, ‘Why are you doing this?’ tell him, ‘The Lord needs it and will return it shortly.’”

78. 11:6

    The disciples answered as Jesus had instructed them, and the people gave them permission.

79. 11:7

    Then they led the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks over it, and He sat on it.

80. 11:9

    The ones who went ahead and those who followed were shouting: “Hosanna!” “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!”

81. 11:10

    “Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David!” “Hosanna in the highest!”

82. 11:11

    Then Jesus entered Jerusalem and went into the temple courts. He looked around at everything, but since it was already late, He went out to Bethany with the Twelve.

83. 11:14

    Then He said to the tree, “May no one ever eat of your fruit again.” And His disciples heard this statement.

84. 11:15

    When they arrived in Jerusalem, Jesus entered the temple courts and began to drive out those who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those selling doves.

85. 11:22

    “Have faith in God,” Jesus said to them.

86. 11:29

    “I will ask you one question,” Jesus replied, “and if you answer Me, I will tell you by what authority I am doing these things.

87. 11:33

    So they answered, “We do not know.” And Jesus replied, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.”

88. 12:17

    Then Jesus told them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.” And they marveled at Him.

89. 12:24

    Jesus said to them, “Aren’t you mistaken, because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God?

90. 12:29

    Jesus replied, “This is the most important: ‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One.

91. 12:30

    Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’

92. 12:34

    When Jesus saw that the man had answered wisely, He said, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.” And no one dared to question Him any further.

93. 12:35

    While Jesus was teaching in the temple courts, He asked, “How can the scribes say that the Christ is the Son of David?

94. 12:36

    Speaking by the Holy Spirit, David himself declared: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand until I put Your enemies under Your feet.”’

95. 12:41

    As Jesus was sitting opposite the treasury, He watched the crowd putting money into it. And many rich people put in large amounts.

96. 13:2

    “Do you see all these great buildings?” Jesus replied. “Not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down.”

97. 13:5

    Jesus began by telling them, “See to it that no one deceives you.

98. 13:6

    Many will come in My name, claiming, ‘I am He,’ and will deceive many.

99. 13:20

    If the Lord had not cut short those days, nobody would be saved. But for the sake of the elect, whom He has chosen, He has cut them short.

100. 13:21

     At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There He is!’ do not believe it.

101. 13:26

     At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.

102. 13:32

     No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.

103. 13:34

     It is like a man going on a journey who left his house, put each servant in charge of his own task, and instructed the doorkeeper to keep watch.

104. 14:6

     But Jesus said, “Leave her alone; why are you bothering her? She has done a beautiful deed to Me.

105. 14:18

     And while they were reclining and eating, Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, one of you who is eating with Me will betray Me.”

106. 14:21

     The Son of Man will go just as it is written about Him, but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed! It would be better for him if he had not been born.”

107. 14:22

     While they were eating, Jesus took bread, spoke a blessing and broke it, and gave it to the disciples, saying, “Take it; this is My body.”

108. 14:27

     Then Jesus said to them, “You will all fall away, for it is written: ‘I will strike the Shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered.’

109. 14:30

     “Truly I tell you,” Jesus replied, “this very night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times.”

110. 14:41

     When Jesus returned the third time, He said, “Are you still sleeping and resting? That is enough! The hour has come. Look, the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

111. 14:45

     Going directly to Jesus, he said, “Rabbi!” and kissed Him.

112. 14:48

     Jesus asked the crowd, “Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest Me as you would an outlaw?

113. 14:53

     They led Jesus away to the high priest, and all the chief priests, elders, and scribes assembled.

114. 14:55

     Now the chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were seeking testimony against Jesus to put Him to death, but they did not find any.

115. 14:60

     So the high priest stood up before them and questioned Jesus, “Have You no answer? What are these men testifying against You?”

116. 14:61

     But Jesus remained silent and made no reply. Again the high priest questioned Him, “Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?”

117. 14:62

     “I am,” said Jesus, “and you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power and coming with the clouds of heaven.”

118. 14:67

     and saw him warming himself there. She looked at Peter and said, “You also were with Jesus the Nazarene.”

119. 14:72

     And immediately the rooster crowed a second time. Then Peter remembered the word that Jesus had spoken to him: “Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times.” And he broke down and wept.

120. 15:1

     Early in the morning, the chief priests, elders, scribes, and the whole Sanhedrin devised a plan. They bound Jesus, led Him away, and handed Him over to Pilate.

121. 15:5

     But to Pilate’s amazement, Jesus made no further reply.

122. 15:15

     And wishing to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged, and handed Him over to be crucified.

123. 15:32

     Let the Christ, the King of Israel, come down now from the cross, so that we may see and believe!” And even those who were crucified with Him berated Him.

124. 15:34

     At the ninth hour, Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” which means, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”

125. 15:37

     But Jesus let out a loud cry and breathed His last.

126. 15:39

     When the centurion standing there in front of Jesus saw how He had breathed His last, he said, “Truly this man was the Son of God!”

127. 15:43

     Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent Council member who himself was waiting for the kingdom of God, boldly went to Pilate to ask for the body of Jesus.

128. 16:6

     But he said to them, “Do not be alarmed. You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here! See the place where they put Him.

129. 16:19

     After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, He was taken up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God.

130. 16:20

     And they went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked through them, confirming His word by the signs that accompanied it.
