Gospel of Mark

From Wikiquote
(Redirected from Mark)
Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan.

The Gospel According to Mark [Greek: τὸ κατὰ Μᾶρκον εὐαγγέλιον, to kata Markon euangelion] (c. 70), commonly referred to as the Gospel of Mark or simply Mark, is the second book of the New Testament, but most contemporary scholars now regard it as the earliest of the gospels accepted as canon by most Christians, believing it to be a source for the other synoptic gospels. It focuses particularly on the last week of the life of Jesus in Jerusalem, and emphasizes the Messianic Secret, with Jesus concealing his message through parables, and his disciples failing to understand both the implication of his miracles and the meaning of the things he predicts about his arrest, death and resurrection. Most scholars believe that the original text of the gospel ends at Mark 16:8 with the discovery of Jesus' empty tomb and that the following account of his resurrection appearances is a later addition. According to tradition and some early church writers, the author is Mark the Evangelist, a companion of the apostle Peter, but this has been disputed.

[edit]
And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him: And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
  • The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God; As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins. And there went out unto him all the land of Judaea, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized of him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins. And John was clothed with camel's hair, and with a girdle of a skin about his loins; and he did eat locusts and wild honey; 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. I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost.
    • 1: 1 - 8
  • And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan. And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him: And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
    And immediately the spirit driveth him into the wilderness. And he was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted of Satan; and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto him.
    • 1:9 -13
  • And he healed many that were sick of divers diseases, and cast out many devils; and suffered not the devils to speak, because they knew him.
    And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed. And Simon and they that were with him followed after him. And when they had found him, they said unto him, All men seek for thee. And he said unto them, Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also: for therefore came I forth. And he preached in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and cast out devils.
    • 1:34 - 39
  • And there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean. And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed. And he straitly charged him, and forthwith sent him away; And saith unto him, See thou say nothing to any man: but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing those things which Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them. But he went out, and began to publish it much, and to blaze abroad the matter, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly enter into the city, but was without in desert places: and they came to him from every quarter.
    • 1:40 - 45
  • A lamp is not brought out to be put under a basket or under a bed, is it? Is it not brought out to be put on a lampstand? For there is nothing hidden that will not be exposed; nothing is carefully concealed that will not come out in the open. Whoever has ears to listen, let him listen.
  • Lord, I believe; Help thou my unbelief!
    • 9:24b [KJV]
  • In all the nations, the good news has to be preached first.
  • But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven, he is guilty of an eternal sin.
