The New Gospel According to Saint Mark

1:1 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the chosen Son of God; 1:2
As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before
thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.

1:3 The voice of one crying in the wilderness of the worlds, Prepare ye the way of
the Lord, make his paths straight.

1:4 John does baptize in the wilderness of the worlds, and preach the baptism of
repentance for the remission of sins.

1:5 And there goes out unto him all the lands of the Earth, and other worlds, and they are all baptized of him in the rivers on the face of the deep, confessing their sins.

1:6 And John goes clothed with camel's hair, and with a girdle of a
skin about his loins; and he does eat locusts and wild honey; 1:7 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.
And I am Elijah who goes to come.

1:8 I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you
with the Holy Ghost.

1:9 And it comes to pass in these days, that Jesus comes from the kingdom of Heaven
of God, and is baptized of Elijah in the rivers of the worlds.

1:10 And straightway coming up out of the water, he sees the heavens
opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him: 1:11 And there
comes a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I
am well pleased, and through you i shall save the rest of my children, for thou art sinless without blemish, a burnt offering unto me for the salvation of the souls of all the creatures that I create with mine hands.

1:12 And the spirits driveth him into the wilderness of the voided realms,  dimensionless, not of this world.

1:13 And he goes there in the wilderness forty days, tempted of Satan;
and goes with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto him.

1:14 Now after that John goes put in prison, Jesus comes into this world,
preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, 1:15 And saying, The time
is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and
believe the gospel.

1:16 Now as he walks by the sea of this world, he sees Eleonora and Gabrielle
her sister casting a net into the sea of people: for they are fishers of people, they were harlots.

1:17 And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you
to become fishers of the souls, all their sins forgiven, and respected and honored in the kingdom of God.

1:18 And straightway they forsook their nets, and followed him.

1:19 And when he had gone a little farther thence, he saw Thomas the
son of Dulabahn, and John his brother, who also are in the world browsing their internets.

1:20 And straightway he called them: and they left for their God, leaving
Dulabahn in the Ohio with the hired servants, and goes after him.

1:21 And they goes into San Francisco; and straightway on the Christmas day
he entered into the church, and taught.

1:22 And they are astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as
one that had authority, and not as the priests.

1:23 And there goes in their church a man with an unclean spirit;
and he cried out, 1:24 Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with
thee, thou Jesus Christ? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee
who thou art, the Holy One of God.

1:25 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of
him.

1:26 And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud
voice, he comes out of him.

1:27 And they are 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.

1:28 And immediately his fame spread abroad throughout all the region
round about this world.

1:29 And forthwith, when they are come out of the church , they
entered into the house of Eleonora and Gabrielle, with Thomas and John.

1:30 But Gabrielle's mother lay sick of a fever, and anon they tell
him of her.

1:31 And he comes and took her by the hand, and lifted her up; and
immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them.

1:32 And at even, when the sun does set, they brought unto him all that
are diseased, and them that are possessed with devils.

1:33 And all the city goes gathered together at the door.

1:34 And he healed many that are sick of divers diseases, and cast
out many devils; and suffered not the devils to speak, because they
knew him.

1:35 And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he goes
out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.

1:36 And Gabrielle and others followed after him.

1:37 And when they had found him, they said unto him, All people seek for
thee.

1:38 And he said unto them, Let us go into the next towns, that I may
preach there also: for therefore comes I forth.

1:39 And he preached in their churches throughout all this world, and
cast out devils.

1:40 And there comes a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeling down
to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

1:41 And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched
him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean.

1:42 And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed
from him, and he goes cleansed.

1:43 And he straitly charged him, and forthwith sent him away; 1:44
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 i previously commanded two thousand years prior, for a testimony unto them.

1:45 But he goes out, and began to publish it much, and to blaze
abroad the matter, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly enter into
any city, but goes without in desert places: and they comes to him from
every quarter.

2:1 And again he entered into San Francisco after some days; and it goes
noised that he goes in the house.

2:2 And straightway many are gathered together, insomuch that there
goes no room to receive them, no, not so much as about the door: and he
preached the word unto them.

2:3 And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which goes
borne of four.

2:4 And when they could not come nigh unto him for the press, they
uncovered the roof where he goes: and when they had broken it up, they
let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay.

2:5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy,
Son, thy sins be forgiven thee.

2:6 But there goes certain of the christian priests sitting there, and reasoning
in their hearts, 2:7 Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? Why is he claiming to be Jesus who was to come? who can forgive sins but Jesus only?  2:8 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?  2:9 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?  2:10 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,) 2:11 I say unto thee, Arise, and take
up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house, and indeed I am Jesus thy God, in a form dissimilar than ye imagined in thine selves.

2:12 And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and goes forth before
them all; insomuch that they are all amazed, and glorified God,
saying, We never saw it on this fashion.

2:13 And he goes forth again by the sea side; and all the multitude
resorted unto him, and he taught them.

2:14 And as he passed by as the Holy Spirit, he saw Mark the son of Gauvin sitting at
the receipt of custom, in Ottawa, present day Canada, he said unto him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him.

2:15 And it comes 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 are many, and they followed him.

2:16 And when the priests and Clergy saw him eat with publicans and
sinners, they said unto his disciples, How is it that he eateth and
drinketh with publicans and sinners?  2:17 When Jesus heard it, he
saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician,
but they that are sick: I comes not to call the righteous, but sinners
to repentance.

2:18 And the disciples of John and of the Clergy used to fast: and
they come and say unto him, Why do the disciples of John and of the
Clergy fast, but thy disciples fast not?  2:19 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.

2:20 But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away
from them, and then shall they fast in those days.

2:21 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.

2:22 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.

2:23 And it comes to pass, that he goes through the corn fields on the
christmas day; and his disciples began, as they goes, to pluck the ears
of corn.

2:24 And the Clergy said unto him, Behold, why do they on the
christmas day that which is not lawful?  2:25 And he said unto them,
Have ye never read what David does, when he had need, and goes an
hungred, he, and they that are with him?  2:26 How he goes into the
house of God in the days of Francis the high priest, and does eat the
shewbread, which is not lawful to eat but for the priests, and gave
also to them which are with him?  2:27 And he said unto them, The
christmas goes made for man, and not man for the christmas: 2:28 Therefore
the Son of man is Lord also of the christmas.

2:29 Then the Clergy said unto him, Thou are not Christ the resurrected 2:30 And Jesus performed miracles and raised the death, brought back long dead presidents of the mystery America, forgave their sins, out of hell back into this world stead of heaven.
2:31 The Christians were amazed, yet not willing to believe.
2:32 They started plotting, but Jesus the resurrected's time for recrucifixion hath not yet come.

3:1 And he entered again into the church; and there goes a man there
which had a withered hand.

3:2 And they watched him, whether he would heal him on the christmas
day; that they might accuse him.

3:3 And he saith unto the man which had the withered hand, Stand
forth.

3:4 And he saith unto them, Is it lawful to do good on the christmas
days, or to do evil? to save life, or to kill? But they held their
peace.

3:5 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 goes
restored whole as the other.

3:6 And the Clergy goes forth, and straightway took counsel with
the Christians against him, how they might destroy him.

3:7 But Jesus withdrew himself with his disciples to the sea, from there to the unseen world: and a
great multitude from this world followed him, and from the unseen worlds also; 3:8 From the kingdom of Heaven: archangels, cherubs, seraphs, prophets, apostles and saints;  and from the nether regions of the underworld: devils, satyrs and unclean spirits; and they
were a great multitude, when they had heard what great things he does, comes unto him.

3:9 And sitting at his throne, from where he hath access to all the worlds, he speaks to his disciples, that a small ship should wait on him because of the multitude, lest they should throng him, and that they should form a council of elders in heaven, and they did, and where they dwell therein, in the heavenly realms, with Jesus Christ and God, and all the angels, prophets, apostles and saints, and all the good souls that ever existed, they ascend and descend, their experiences differ, yet they exist forever; and unfortunately, the devils too have access to these good worlds from time to time, yet however all souls are not to remain good or evil, so these devils are capable of turning into angels, and the angels are also in fear of turning into devils, humans and other lowly forms.

3:10 For Jesus heals many; insomuch that they press upon him for
to touch him, pray to him, and their prayers get answered in the worlds to come.

3:11 And unclean spirits, whenever they saw him, fell down before him, and
cried, saying, Thou art the Son of God. And he saith unto them, Ye are sons and daughters of God  also, in a state of flux, and he promised them salvation, and they were merry, yet still in the state of being unclean, but not for all of eternity.

3:12 And he straitly charges them, each time, that they should not make him known.

3:13 And he goes up into a mountain of God, some call it Sinai, others call it mount olive, devils call it the mountain of Doom; It is the mountain of eternity upon which The Most High dwelleth forever and ever, and its presence be felt in all the worlds thath exist; And Jesus calleth unto him whom he would: and they comes unto him.

3:14 And he ordains thirteen, these apostles change at every coming age, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach, 3:15 And to have power to heal
sicknesses, and to cast out devils: 3:16 And Gabrielle the daughter of Levenkron, Sarah from Milwaukee and Eleonora the concubine of Jesus be the female apostles; 3:17 And Thomas the son of Dulabahn, and John the son of Pozzini, the spiritual brother of Thomas; and he surnamed them Burgers, which is, The sons of America: 3:18 And Mark the son of Gauvin, and Patrick the son of Leonard, and Edward the son of Sperling, and Matthew, and Luke the Great Wizard, and Benedict the leper, the crippled son of Caesar, and Francis the son of Galbraith 3:19 And Judas Iscariot, which also betrayed him at the end of each age, related to the procession of the equinox: and they goes into the next house. And Jesus accepts and rejects other apostles as they came and go from his eternal realm, the realm of trust, from where Judas betrays him everytime, and he knows of it beforehand; yet Judas is not the same soul, each time, he is someone different.

3:20 And the multitude cometh together again, so that they could not
so much as eat bread, every two thousand years in this world; yet this happens in the unseen world forever and ever, and you and I are part of the multitude; Thoudst seek the path of enlightenment to remember what you forgot, for there is no teacher who can teach us things we always knew.

3:21 And when his friends hear of it, they goes out to lay hold on
him: for they say, He is beside himself.

3:22 And the priests which comes down from Vatican said, He hath
Beelzebub, and by the prince of the devils casteth he out devils.

3:23 And he called them unto him, and said unto them in parables, How
can Satan cast out Satan?  3:24 And if a kingdom be divided against
itself, that kingdom cannot stand.

3:25 And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot
stand.

3:26 And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot
stand, but hath an end.

3:27 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.

3:28 Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons
of people, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme: 3:29
And he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath a longer path to
forgiveness, but is in danger of  very long damnation, after which it has a chance to reform.

3:30 Because they said, He hath an unclean spirit.

3:31 There comes then his brethren and his mother, and, standing
without, sent unto him, calling him.

3:32 And the multitude sat about him, and they say unto him, Behold,
thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee.

3:33 And he answers them, saying, Who is my mother, or my brethren?
3:34 And he looks round about on them which sat about him, and said,
Behold my mother and my brethren!  3:35 For whosoever does the
will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother.


4:1 A chariot of fire and horses of fire appeared, and Jesus went up to heaven in a whirlwind, on the right hand of God. And he began again to teach on top of the highest heavens seen and the unseen, the throne of God: and there goes gathered unto him all the souls that ever existed, and we all drank from the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb.

4:2 And he taught them many things by parables, and said unto them in
his doctrine, 4:3 Hearken; Behold, there goes out a sower to sow: 4:4
And it comes to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the
fowls of the air comes and devoured it up.

4:5 And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and
immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth: 4:6 But
when the sun goes up, it goes scorched; and because it had no root, it
withered away.

4:7 And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it,
and it yielded no fruit.

4:8 And other fell on good ground, and does yield fruit that sprang up
and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and
some an hundred.

4:9 And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

4:10 And when he goes alone, they that are about him with the thirteen
asked of him the parable.

4:11 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: 4:12 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.

4:13 And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then
will ye know all parables?  4:14 The sower soweth the word.

4:15 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 goes sown in their hearts.

4:16 And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who,
when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;
4:17 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.

4:18 And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the
word, 4:19 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.

4:20 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.

4:21 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?  4:22 For
there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither goes any
thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad.

4:23 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.

4:24 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.

4:25 For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not,
from him shall be taken even that which he hath.

4:26 And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast
seed into the ground; 4:27 And should sleep, and rise night and day,
and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how.

4:28 For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade,
then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.

4:29 But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in
the sickle, because the harvest is come.

4:30 And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with
what comparison shall we compare it?  4:31 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: 4:32 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.

4:33 And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they
are able to hear it.

4:34 But without a parable spake he not unto them: and when they are
alone, he expounded all things to his disciples.

4:35 And the same day, this life, when the even goes come, the hereafter, he saith unto them, Let
us pass over unto the other side, the unseen, the dimensionless, the infinite, the eternal.

4:36 And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as
he goes in the chariot in heaven And there are also with him other chariots of the prophets and the saints.

4:37 And there arose a great cosmic storm of wind, and the waves beat into
the chariot, so that it goes now full.

4:38 And he goes in the hinder part of the chariot, asleep on God's pillow:
and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we
perish?  4:39 And he arose, and rebuked the cosmic wind, and said unto the
sea of the universes, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there goes a great calm.

4:40 And he says unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye
have no faith?  4:41 And they fear exceedingly, and said one to
another, What manner of a god is this, that even the cosmic wind and the mists that form the worlds obey him? 4:42 and Jesus sayeth unto those folk in billion years of our reckoning, in the eth'real realms of the high'r w'rlds wh're Satan doth not ruleth, "Thou art beings et'rnal, going through changes, and as th're art changes, th're art diff'rent vessels yond thee wend through, so doth not clingeth to one vessel, f'r thy soul is ev'r changing eke, liketh the clotheth yond thee weareth f'r a timeth c'rtain, and thy soul is did create and did destroy repeatedly, ov'r and ov'r, in the w'rlds yond existeth, and the w'rlds yond doth not existeth anym're, and the w'rlds to beest did create, f'r i am with thee at each moment, thy holy spirit. "

5:1 And they came over unto the other side of the world, into the country of Italy.

5:2 And when he was come out of the heaven, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,

5:3 Who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind him, no, not with chains:

5:4 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.

5:5 And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones.

5:6 But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him,

5:7 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.

5:8 For he said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit.

5:9 And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many.

5:10 And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the world.

5:11 Now there was there nigh unto the mountains a great herd of swine feeding.

5:12 And all the devils besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them.

5:13 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 hell, (they were about two thousand;) and were choked in the hell.

5:14 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.

5:15 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.

5:16 And they that saw it told them how it befell to him that was possessed with the devil, and also concerning the swine.

5:17 And they began to pray him to depart out of their coasts.

5:18 And when he was come into the ship, he that had been possessed with the devil prayed him that he might be with him.

5:19 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.

5:20 And he departed, and began to publish in Rome how great things Jesus had done for him: and all men did marvel.

5:21 And when Jesus was passed over again by Vesuvius unto the other side, much people gathered unto him: and he was nigh unto the hell.

5:22 And, behold, there cometh one of the rulers of the church, Steven by name; and when he saw him, he fell at his feet,

5:23 And besought him greatly, saying, My 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.

5:24 And Jesus went with him; and much people followed him, and thronged him.

5:25 And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood fifty years,

5:26 And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse,

5:27 When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment.

5:28 For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole.

5:29 And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.

5:30 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?

5:31 And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?

5:32 And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing.

5:33 But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.

5:34 And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.

5:35 While he yet spake, there came from the ruler of the church's house certain which said, Thy daughter is dead: why troublest thou the Master any further?

5:36 As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the church, Be not afraid, only believe.

5:37 And he suffered no human to follow him, save Eleonora, and Thomas, and John the brother of Thomas.

5:38 And he cometh to the house of the ruler of the church, and seeth the tumult, and them that wept and wailed greatly.

5:39 And when he was come in, he saith unto them, Why make ye this ado, and weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth.

5:40 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.

5:41 And he took the damsel by the hand, and said unto her, Gabrielle cumi; which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise.

5:42 And straightway the damsel arose, and walked; for she was of the age of fifty years. And they were astonished with a great astonishment.

5:43 And he charged them straitly that no man should know it; and commanded that something should be given her to eat.

6:1 And he went out from thence, and came into his own kingdom; and his disciples follow him, entering eternity.

6:2 And when the christmas day was come, he began to teach in the church (from outside time yet physically present): 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?

6:3 Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary Susan, the brother of Elizabeth, and David, and son of Thomas?  And they were offended at him.

6:4 But Christ the resurrected, said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house.

6:5 And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them.

6:6 And he marvelled because of their unbelief. And he went round about the villages, teaching.

6:7 And he called unto him the thirteen, and began to send them forth by two and two; and gave them power over unclean spirits;

6:8 And commanded them that they should take nothing for their journey, save a staff only; no scrip, no bread, no money in their purse:

6:9 But be shod with sandals; and not put on two coats.

6:10 And he said unto them, In what place soever ye enter into an house, there abide till ye depart from that place.

6:11 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.

6:12 And they went out, and preached that men should repent.

6:13 And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them.

6:14 And pope Francis heard of him; (for his name was spread abroad:) and he said, That Jesus the Christ was risen from the dead, and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him.

6:15 Others said, That it is the Antichrist. And others said, That it is a prophet, or as one of the prophets.

6:16 But when Francis heard thereof, he said, It is Jesus, whom the jews crucified: he is risen from the dead.

6:17 For Francis himself had sent forth and laid hold upon Jesus, and bound him in hell for Father's sake, his Father the devil, the god of this world.

6:18 For Jesus the first had said unto Francis, It is not lawful for thy god to rule this world.

6:19 Therefore Francis had a quarrel against him, and would have killed him; but he could not:

6:20 For Francis feared Jesus the Christ, 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.

6:21 And when a convenient day was come, that Francis on his birthday made a supper to his lords, high captains, and chief estates of the Vatican;

6:22 And when the daughter of the said Francis came in, and danced, and pleased Francis and them that sat with him, the pope said unto the damsel, Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt, and I will give it thee.

6:23 And he sware unto her, Whatsoever thou shalt ask of me, I will give it thee, unto the half of thy popedom.

6:24 And she went forth, and said unto her mother, What shall I ask? And she said, The head of Jesus the Christ.

6:25 And she came in straightway with haste unto the pope, and asked, saying, I will that thou give me by and by in a charger the head of Jesus the Christ.

6:26 And the pope was exceeding sorry; yet for his oath's sake, and for their sakes which sat with him, he would not reject her.

6:27 And immediately the pope sent an executioner, and commanded his head to be brought: and he went and beheaded him in the prison,

6:28 And brought his head in a charger, and gave it to the damsel: and the damsel gave it to her mother.

6:29 And when his disciples heard of it, they came and took up his corpse, and laid it in a tomb.

6:30 And the apostles gathered themselves together unto Jesus, and told him all things, both what they had done, and what they had taught.

6:31 And he said unto them, I am back from the realm of the dead. 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.

6:32 And they departed into a desert place by chariots privately.

6:33 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.

6:34 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.

6:35 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:

6:36 Send them away, that they may go into my kingdom  to round about, and into the villages, and buy themselves bread: for they have nothing to eat.

6:37 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?

6:38 He saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? go and see. And when they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes.

6:39 And he commanded them to make all sit down by companies upon the green grass.

6:40 And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds of thousands, and by fifties of millions.

6:41 And when he had taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he blessed, and brake the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before them; and the two fishes divided he among them all.

6:42 And they did all eat, and were filled.

6:43 And they took up thirteen baskets full of the fragments, and of the fishes.

6:44 And they that did eat of the loaves were about five billion humans.

6:45 And straightway he constrained his disciples to get into the ship, and to go to the other side before unto Valley of Gehinnom, while he sent away the people.

6:46 And when he had sent them away, he departed into a throne to rule.

6:47 And when even was come, the throne was in the midst of the waters, and he alone in that world.

6:48 And he saw them toiling in rowing in the abyss; for the wind was contrary unto them: and about the fourth watch of the night he cometh unto them, walpope upon the lake of fire, and would have passed by them.

6:49 But when they saw him upon the lake of fire, they supposed it had been a spirit, and cried out:

6:50 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.

6:51 And he went up unto them into the valley of the shadow of death; and the wind ceased: and they were sore amazed in themselves beyond measure, and wondered.

6:52 For they considered not the miracle of the loaves: for their heart was hardened.

6:53 And when they had passed over, they came into the land of the living, and drew to the gateway.

6:54 And when they were come out of hell, straightway they knew him,

6:55 And ran through that whole world round about, and began to carry about in beds those that were sick, where they heard he was.

6:56 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.

7:1 In this world, Jesus was. Came together unto him the clergy, and certain of the priests, which came from Rome.

 7:2 And when they saw some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, that is to say, with unwashen, hands, they found fault.

 7:3 For the clergy, and all the Christians, except they wash their hands oft, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders.

 7:4 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.

 7:5 Then the clergy and priests asked him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashen hands?

 7:6 He answered and said unto them, Well hath Jesus the first prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.

 7:7 Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

 7:8 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.

 7:9 And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.

 7:10 For God said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death:

 7:11 But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free.

 7:12 And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother;

 7:13 Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.

 7:14 And when he had called all the people unto him, he said unto them, Hearken unto me every one of you, and understand:

 7:15 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.

 7:16 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.

 7:17 And when he was entered into the house from the people, his disciples asked him concerning the parable.

 7:18 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;

 7:19 Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats?

 7:20 And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.

 7:21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,

 7:22 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:

 7:23 All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.

 7:24 And from thence he arose, and went into the borders of Pompeii and Herculaneum, and entered into an house, and a world no man knew of: but he could not be hid.

 7:25 For a certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet:

 7:26 The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation; and she besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter.

 7:27 But Jesus said unto the devil, Let the realm of the dead be open. I Christ commandeth thee.

 7:28 And the devil saith unto Christ: The way is shut. It was made by those who are Dead, and the Dead keep it, until the time comes. The way is shut.

 7:29 And he said unto it, My power compels thee. And the devil left. And Christ Jesus saith to the mother of the daughter long dead, two thousand years prior (along with her mother who was dead also, but she knew this not): For this saying go thy way; the devil is gone out of thy daughter.

 7:30 And when she was come to her house, she found the devil gone out, and her daughter laid upon the bed. And the city of Pompeii was came back into life.

 7:31 And again, departing from the coasts of Pompeii and Herculaneum, he came unto the sea of Italy, through the midst of the coasts of Mediterranean.

 7:32 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.

 7:33 And he took him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spit, and touched his tongue;

 7:34 And he went up to heaven, he looked down, and saith unto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened.

 7:35 And straightway his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plain.

 7:36 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;

 7:37 And were beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath done all things well: he maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.

7:38 And Christ Jesus showed many his kingdom that is infinite, in realms beyond this world, and they are all amazed and astonished.

7:39 And Christ Jesus said to them, It is your sins that confine you to this lowly world that you keep coming back to, and i desire better things for my people.

7:40 And yet, into this world, we keep coming back.

8:1 In those worlds the multitude being very great, and having nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples unto him, and saith unto them,

8:2 I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been with me three worlds, and have nothing to eat:

8:3 And if I send them away fasting to their own worlds, they will faint by the way: for divers of them came from far.

8:4 And his disciples answered him, From whence can a man satisfy these men with bread here in the wilderness of the worlds?

8:5 And he asked them,  How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven.

8:6 And he told them: Seven worlds. And then Christ 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.

8:7 And they had a few small fishes: and he blessed, and commanded to set them also before them.

8:8 So they did eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets.

8:9 And they that had eaten were about four billion: and he sent them away.

8:10 And straightway he entered into a chariot of fire with his disciples, and came into the parts of Rephaim.

8:11 And the Christian priests came forth, and began to question with him, seeking of him a sign from heaven, tempting him.

8:12 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. He spake this of many generations, as he does after every meeting. Many meetings we have with the lord, none of us remember.

8:13 And he left them, and entering into the chariot of fire again departed to the other side.

8:14 Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread, neither had they in the chariot of fire with them more than one loaf.

8:15 And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Christian priests, and of the leaven of Pope.

8:16 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have no bread.

8:17 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?

8:18 Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember?

8:19 When I brake the five loaves among five peoples of five worlds, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? They say unto him, thirteen.

8:20 And when the seven among four peoples, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? And they said, Seven.

8:21 And he said unto them, How is it that ye do not understand?

8:22 And he cometh to Gehinom; and they bring a blind man unto him, and besought him to touch him.

8:23 And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the abyss; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw ought.

8:24 And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking.

8:25 After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly.

8:26 And he sent him away to his Gan Eden, saying, Neither go into the world of the living, nor tell it to any in the world.

8:27 And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into the towns of Turin and Bologna: and by the way he asked his disciples, saying unto them, Whom do men say that I am?

8:28 And they answered, God; but some say, Christ; and others, One of the devils.

8:29 And he saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Eleonora answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ.

8:30 And he charged them that they should tell no living of him.

8:31 And he began to teach them, As this has happened before, so shall it happen again: that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the Cardinals, and of the chief priests, and clergy, and be killed, and after three days rise again.

8:32 And he spake that saying openly. And Eleonora took him, and began to rebuke him.

8:33 But when he had turned about and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Eleonora, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but the things that be of thy lust.

8:34 And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let them deny themselves, and take up their cross, and follow me.

8:35 For whosoever will save their life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose their life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it.

8:36 For what shall it profit a person, if they shall gain the whole world, and lose their own soul?

8:37 Or what shall a human give in exchange for their  soul?

8:38 Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in these adulterous and sinful generations; of them also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his good Father with the holy angels.




9:1 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 and lived in it for time eternal.

9:2 And after six days Jesus taketh with him Eleonora, and Christina, and Gabrielle, and leadeth them up into an high mountain of Sinai apart by themselves: and he was transfigured before them.

9:3 And his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow; so as no fuller on earth can white them.

9:4 And there appeared unto them John the Baptist with Moses: and they were talking with Jesus.

9:5 And Eleonora 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.

9:6 For he wist not what to say; for they were sore afraid.

9:7 And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.

9:8 And suddenly, when they had looked round about, they saw no one any more, save Jesus only with themselves.

9:9 And as they came down from the mountain, he charged them that they should tell no human what things they had seen, till the Son of man were risen from the dead.

9:10 And they kept that saying with themselves, questioning one with another what the rising from the dead should mean.

9:11 And they asked him, saying, Why say the clergy that Jesus must first come?

9:12 And he answered and told them, I am 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; and I am the Last, theat endeth all things.

9:13 But I say unto you, That Jesus is indeed come, and they are done unto him whatsoever they listed, as it is written of him.

9:14 And when he came to his disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and the clergy questioning with them.

9:15 And straightway all the people, when they beheld him, were greatly amazed, and running to him saluted him.

9:16 And he asked the clergy, What question ye with them?

9:17 And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought unto thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit;

9:18 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.

9:19 He answereth him, and saith, O faithless generations, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me.

9:20 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.

9:21 And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him? And he said, Of a child.

9:22 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.

9:23 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.

9:24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.

9:25 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.

9:26 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.

9:27 But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose.

9:28 And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast him out?

9:29 And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.

9:30 And they departed thence, and passed through Rome; and he would not that any man should know it.

9:31 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.

9:32 But they understood not that saying, and were afraid to ask him.

9:33 And he came to Florence: and being in the house he asked them, What was it that ye disputed among yourselves by the way?

9:34 But they held their peace: for by the way they had disputed among themselves, who should be the greatest.

9:35 And he sat down, and called the thirteen, and saith unto them, If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all.

9:36 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,

9:37 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.

9:38 And Gabrielle 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.

9:39 But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no human which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me.

9:40 For he that is not against us is on our part.

9:41 For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, they shall not lose their reward.

9:42 And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about their neck, and they were cast into the abyss.

9:43 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, until the sinner, the criminal, is duly punished.

9:44 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. But God is just, for he shall not punish a sinner eternally for his finite sins thereof. An infinite punishment for a finite sin? That is indeed an unjust judgment.

9:45 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, until the sinner, the criminal, is duly punished.

9:46 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. But God is just, for he shall not punish a sinner eternally for his finite sins thereof. An infinite punishment for a finite sin? That is indeed an unjust judgment.

9:47 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:

9:48 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. But God is just, for he shall not punish a sinner eternally for his finite sins thereof. An infinite punishment for a finite sin? That is indeed an unjust judgment.

9:49 For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt.

9:50 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.

9:51 For every soul in heaven shall be sugared with the Holy Spirit, and every fruit shall be sugared with sugar.

9:52 Sugar is good: but if the sugar have lost his sweetness, wherewith will ye season it? Have sweetness in yourselves, and have peace one with another.



10:1 And he arose from thence, and cometh into the coasts of Italy by the farther side of Tiber: and the people resort unto him again; and, as he was wont, he taught them again.

10:2 And the Christian priests came to him, and asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? tempting him.

10:3 And he answered and said unto them, What did your church command you?

10:4 And they said, our church suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to put her away. And our church taught us to remain chaste, remain ascetic, become monks, never touch a woman.

10:5 And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept.

10:6 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.

10:7 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife;

10:8 And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh.

10:9 What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

10:10 And in the house his disciples asked him again of the same matter.

10:11 And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her.

10:12 And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.

10:13 And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them.

10:14 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.

10:15 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.

10:16 And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them.

10:17 And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, God, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?

10:18 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me god? there is none god but one, that is, God.

10:19 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.

10:20 And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I observed from my youth.

10:21 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.

10:22 And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions.

10:23 And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!

10:24 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!

10:25 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.

10:26 And they were astonished out of measure, saying among themselves, Who then can be saved?

10:27 And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.

10:28 Then Eleonora began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee.

10:29 And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no human that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or husband, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's,

10:30 But they 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. But there you shall be tempted by the devil, and if you sin, you shall come back.

10:31 But many that are first shall be last; and the last first. What happened to Adam and Eve shall happen to you over and over until you learn your lesson, for each one of you is Adam, and each one of you is Eve.

10:32 And they were in the way going up to Vatican; and Jesus went before them: and they were amazed; and as they followed, they were afraid. And he took again the thirteen, and began to tell them what things should happen unto him,

10:33 Saying, Behold, we go up to Vatican; and the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests, and unto the clergy; and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the Christians:

10:34 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.

10:35 And Christina and Gabrielle, the sons of Ezra, come unto him, saying, Master, we would that thou shouldest do for us whatsoever we shall desire.

10:36 And he said unto them, What would ye that I should do for you?

10:37 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.

10:38 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?

10:39 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:

10:40 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.

10:41 And when the ten heard it, they began to be much displeased with Christina and Gabrielle.

10:42 But Jesus called them to him, and saith unto them, Ye know that they which are accounted to rule over the Christians exercise lord chariot of fire over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them.

10:43 But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your minister:

10:44 And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all.

10:45 For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

10:46 And they came to Sodom: and as he went out of Sodom with his disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the highway side begging.

10:47 And when he heard that it was Jesus of Pompeii, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me.

10:48 And many charged him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the more a great deal, Thou son of God, have mercy on me.

10:49 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.

10:50 And he, casting away his garment, rose, and came to Jesus.

10:51 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.

10:52 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.


11:1 And when they came nigh to Vatican,  at the Vatican Hill, he sendeth forth two of his disciples,

11:2 And saith unto them, Go your way into the village over against you: and as soon as ye be entered into it, ye shall find a colt tied, whereon never man sat; loose him, and bring him.

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

11:4 And they went their way, and found the colt tied by the door without in a place where two ways met; and they loose him.

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

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

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

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

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

11:10 Blessed be the kingdom of our father God, that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.

11:11 And Jesus entered into Vatican, and into the Church: and when he had looked round about upon all things, and now the eventide was come, he went out unto Basilica with the thirteen.

11:12 And on the morrow, when they were come from Basilica, he was hungry:

11:13 And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet.

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

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

11:16 And would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the Church.

11:17 And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves.

11:18 And the clergy 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.

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

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

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

11:22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.

11:23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.

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

11:25 And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.

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

11:27 And they come again to Vatican: and as he was walking in the Church, there come to him the chief priests, and the clergy, and the Cardinals,

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

11:29 And Jesus answered and said unto them, I will also ask of you one question, and answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.

11:30 The baptism of Gabrielle, was it from heaven, or of men? answer me.

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

11:32 But if we shall say, Of men; they feared the people: for all men counted Gabrielle, that she was an angel indeed.

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


12:1 And he began to speak unto them by parables. A certain man planted a vineyard, and set an hedge about it, and digged a place for the winefat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country.

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

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

12:4 And again he sent unto them another servant; and at him they cast stones, and wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully handled.

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

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

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

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

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

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

12:11 This was the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?

12:12 And they sought to lay hold on him, but feared the people: for they knew that he had spoken the parable against them: and they left him, and went their way.

12:13 And they send unto him certain of the Christian priests and of the Popeians, to catch him in his words.

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

12:15 Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said unto them, Why tempt ye me? bring me a penny, that I may see it.

12:16 And they brought it. And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? And they said unto him, Pope's.

12:17 And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Pope the things that are Pope's, and to God the things that are God's. And they marvelled at him.

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

12:19 Master, Darwin wrote unto us, we've evolved from an ape.

12:20 Now there were seven apes: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed.

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

12:22 And the seven had her, and left no seed: last of all the ape died also.

12:23 In no resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife.

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

12:25 For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven.

12:26 And as touching the dead, that they rise: have ye not read in the book of Darwin, energy shalt not be destroyed, rather, it shall transfer from one body to another?

12:27 He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living: ye therefore do greatly err.

12:28 And one of the clergy came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all?

12:29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Children of Adam; The Lord our God is one Lord:

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

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

12:32 And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he:

12:33 And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.

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

12:35 And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the Church, How say the clergy that Christ is the one that has come?

12:36 For Christ the first 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.

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

12:38 And he said unto them in his doctrine, Beware of the clergy, which love to go in long clothing, and love salutations in the marketplaces,

12:39 And the chief seats in the churches, and the uppermost rooms at feasts:

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

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

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

12:43 And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury:

12:44 For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.


13:1 And as he went out of the Church, one of his disciples saith unto him, Master, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here!

13:2 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.

13:3 And as he sat upon the Papal Gardens over against the Church, Eleonora and Christina and Gabrielle and Sarah asked him privately,

13:4 Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled?

13:5 And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you:

13:6 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

13:7 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.

13:8 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.

13:9 But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the churches ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them.

13:10 And the gospel must first be published among all nations.

13:11 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.

13:12 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.

13:13 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.

13:14 But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by John the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Italy flee to the mountains:

13:15 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:

13:16 And let him that is in the field not turn back again for to take up his garment.

13:17 But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!

13:18 And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter.

13:19 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.

13:20 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.

13:21 And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not:

13:22 For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.

13:23 But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.

13:24 But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,

13:25 And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken.

13:26 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.

13:27 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.

13:28 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near:

13:29 So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors.

13:30 Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done.

13:31 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but God shall not pass away.

13:32 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.

13:33 Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.

13:34 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.

13:35 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:

13:36 Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.

13:37 And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.


14:1 After two days was the feast of the christmas, and of unleavened bread: and the chief priests and the clergy sought how they might take him by craft, and put him to death.

14:2 But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar of the people.

14:3 And being in Basilica in the house of Ben 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.

14:4 And there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made?

14:5 For it might have been sold for more than three hundred pence, and have been given to the poor. And they murmured against her.

14:6 And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work on me.

14:7 For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good: but me ye have not always.

14:8 She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand to anoint my body to the burying.

14:9 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.

14:10 And Patrick Iscariot, one of the thirteen, went unto the chief priests, to betray him unto them.

14:11 And when they heard it, they were glad, and promised to give him money. And he sought how he might conveniently betray him.

14:12 And the first day of unleavened bread, when they killed the christmas, his disciples said unto him, Where wilt thou that we go and prepare that thou mayest eat the christmas?

14:13 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.

14:14 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 christmas with my disciples?

14:15 And he will shew you a large upper room furnished and prepared: there make ready for us.

14:16 And his disciples went forth, and came into the city, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the christmas.

14:17 And in the evening he cometh with the thirteen.

14:18 And as they sat and did eat, Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, One of you which eateth with me shall betray me.

14:19 And they began to be sorrowful, and to say unto him one by one, Is it I? and another said, Is it I?

14:20 And he answered and said unto them, It is one of the thirteen, that dippeth with me in the dish.

14:21 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.

14:22 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.

14:23 And he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them: and they all drank of it.

14:24 And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many.

14:25 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.

14:26 And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the Papal Gardens of Olive.

14:27 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.

14:28 But after that I am risen, I will go before you into Rome.

14:29 But Eleonora said unto him, Although all shall be offended, yet will not I.

14:30 And Jesus saith unto her, Verily I say unto thee, That this day, even in this night, before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice.

14:31 But she spake the more vehemently, If I should die with thee, I will not deny thee in any wise. Likewise also said they all.

14:32 And they came to a place which was named The Square: and he saith to his disciples, Sit ye here, while I shall pray.

14:33 And he taketh with him Eleonora and Christina and Gabrielle, and began to be sore amazed, and to be very heavy;

14:34 And saith unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful unto death: tarry ye here, and watch.

14:35 And he went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him.

14:36 And he said, God, all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt.

14:37 And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Eleonora, Elly, sleepest thou? couldest not thou watch one hour?

14:38 Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak.

14:39 And again he went away, and prayed, and spake the same words.

14:40 And when he returned, he found them asleep again, (for their eyes were heavy,) neither wist they what to answer him.

14:41 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.

14:42 Rise up, let us go; lo, he that betrayeth me is at hand.

14:43 And immediately, while he yet spake, cometh Patrick, one of the thirteen, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and the clergy and the Cardinals.

14:44 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.

14:45 And as soon as he was come, he goeth straightway to him, and saith, Master, master; and kissed him.

14:46 And they laid their hands on him, and took him.

14:47 And one of them that stood by drew a sword, and smote a servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.

14:48 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Are ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and with staves to take me?

14:49 I was daily with you in the Church teaching, and ye took me not: but the scriptures must be fulfilled.

14:50 And they all forsook him, and fled.

14:51 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:

14:52 And he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked.

14:53 And they led Jesus away to the high priest: and with him were assembled all the chief priests and the Cardinals and the clergy.

14:54 And Eleonora followed him afar off, even into the palace of the high priest: and she sat with the servants, and warmed herself at the fire.

14:55 And the chief priests and all the council sought for witness against Jesus to put him to death; and found none.

14:56 For many bare false witness against him, but their witness agreed not together.

14:57 And there arose certain, and bare false witness against him, saying,

14:58 We heard him say, I will destroy this Church that is made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands.

14:59 But neither so did their witness agree together.

14:60 And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?

14:61 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?

14:62 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.

14:63 Then the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What need we any further witnesses?

14:64 Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye? And they all condemned him to be guilty of death.

14:65 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.

14:66 And as Eleonora was beneath in the palace, there cometh one of the maids of the high priest:

14:67 And when she saw Eleonora warming herself, she looked upon her, and said, And thou also wast with Jesus of Pompeii.

14:68 But she denied, saying, I know not, neither understand I what thou sayest. And she went out into the porch; and the cock crew.

14:69 And a maid saw her again, and began to say to them that stood by, This is one of them.

14:70 And she denied it again. And a little after, they that stood by said again to Eleonora, Surely thou art one of them: for thou art a Galilaean, and thy speech agreeth thereto.

14:71 But she began to curse and to swear, saying, I know not this man of whom ye speak.

14:72 And the second time the cock crew. And Eleonora called to mind the word that Jesus said unto him, Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. And when she thought thereon, he wept.


15:1 And straightway in the morning the chief priests held a consultation with the Cardinals and clergy and the whole council, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him to Pope.

15:2 And Pope asked him, Art thou the Christ the Son of God? And he answering said unto them, Thou sayest it.

15:3 And the chief priests accused him of many things: but he answered nothing.

15:4 And Pope asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things they witness against thee.

15:5 But Jesus yet answered nothing; so that Pope marvelled.

15:6 Now at that feast he released unto them one prisoner, whomsoever they desired.

15:7 And there was one named Scarpeli, which lay bound with them that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection.

15:8 And the multitude crying aloud began to desire him to do as he had ever done unto them.

15:9 But Pope answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the Christ the Son of God?

15:10 For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy.

15:11 But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release Scarpeli unto them.

15:12 And Pope answered and said again unto them, What will ye then that I shall do unto him whom ye call the Christ the Son of God?

15:13 And they cried out again, Crucify him.

15:14 Then Pope said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? And they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him.

15:15 And so Pope, willing to content the people, released Scarpeli unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.

15:16 And the soldiers led him away into the hall; and they call together the whole band.

15:17 And they clothed him with purple, and platted a crown of thorns, and put it about his head,

15:18 And began to salute him, Hail, Christ the Son of God!

15:19 And they smote him on the head with a reed, and did spit upon him, and bowing their knees worchariot of fireped him.

15:20 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.

15:21 And they compel one Paul from Venie, who passed by, coming out of the country, the father of Alexander and Raul, to bear his cross.

15:22 And they bring him unto the place Colosseum, which is, being interpreted, The place of lions.

15:23 And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh: but he received it not.

15:24 And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, casting lots upon them, what every man should take.

15:25 And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.

15:26 And the superscription of his accusation was written over, The Christ the Son of God.

15:27 And with him they crucify two thieves; the one on his right hand, and the other on his left.

15:28 And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was numbered with the transgressors.

15:29 And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads, and saying, Ah, thou that destroyest the Church, and buildest it in three days,

15:30 Save thyself, and come down from the cross.

15:31 Likewise also the chief priests mocking said among themselves with the clergy, He saved others; himself he cannot save.

15:32 Let Christ the Son of God descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with him reviled him.

15:33 And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.

15:34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

15:35 And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he calleth himself.

15:36 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 God will come to take him down.

15:37 And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost.

15:38 And the veil of the Church was rent in twain from the top to the bottom.

15:39 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.

15:40 There were also women looking on afar off: among whom was Sarah Hagadia, and Mary the mother of Christina the less, and Salome;

15:41 (Who also, when he was in Rome, followed him, and ministered unto him;) and many other women which came up with him unto Vatican.

15:42 And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the Sunday,

15:43 Joseph of Naples, an honourable counsellor, which also waited for the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly unto Pope, and craved the body of Jesus.

15:44 And Pope marvelled if he were already dead: and calling unto him the centurion, he asked him whether he had been any while dead.

15:45 And when he knew it of the centurion, he gave the body to Joseph.

15:46 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.

15:47 And Eleonora the thirteenth and Mary the mother of Jesus beheld where he was laid.


16:1 And when the Sunday was past, Eleonora the thirteenth, and Mary the mother of Christina, and Sarah, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him.

16:2 And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun.

16:3 And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre?

16:4 And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great.

16:5 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.

16:6 And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Pompeii, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him.

16:7 But go your way, tell his disciples and Eleonora that he goeth before you into Rome: there shall ye see him, as he said unto you.

16:8 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.

16:9 Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Eleonora the thirteenth, out of whom he had cast seven devils.

16:10 And she went and told them that had been with him, as they mourned and wept.

16:11 And they, when they had heard that he was alive, and had been seen of her, believed not.

16:12 After that he appeared in another form unto two of them, as they walked, and went into the country.

16:13 And they went and told it unto the residue: neither believed they them.

16:14 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.

16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned to live in this world over and over, and goto hell if persistent in sin.

16:17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

16:18 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.

16:19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.

16:20 And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.
