TSK · Mark 9:1-50

‹And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.›

‹And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.›

And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ.

‹For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.›

¶ ‹Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.›

¶ When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?

And Moses rose up, and his minister Joshua: and Moses went up into the mount of God.

And he put the wood in order, and cut the bullock in pieces, and laid [him] on the wood, and said, Fill four barrels with water, and pour [it] on the burnt sacrifice, and on the wood.

Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they shall behold the land that is very far off.

¶ When Jesus heard [of it], he departed thence by ship into a desert place apart: and when the people had heard [thereof], they followed him on foot out of the cities.

And Jesus answered and said unto them, ‹Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things.›

And he taketh with him Peter and James and John, and began to be sore amazed, and to be very heavy;

¶ And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.

And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

But if the ministration of death, written [and] engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which [glory] was to be done away:

Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:

¶ For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.

¶ And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.

When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it was [white] as snow in Salmon.

Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he [is] like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap:

And Cornelius said, Four days ago I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and, behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing,

And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

¶ So Moses the servant of the LORD died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the LORD.

‹For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.›

They answering said, John the Baptist; but some [say], Elias; and others [say], that one of the old prophets is risen again.

And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.

‹Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.›

Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.

And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See [thou do it] not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

He only [is] my rock and my salvation; [he is] my defence; I shall not be greatly moved.

‹And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.›

‹He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.›

Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

And when he had spoken such words unto me, I set my face toward the ground, and I became dumb.

And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, ‹Fear not; I am the first and the last:›

And the glory of the LORD abode upon mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days: and the seventh day he called unto Moses out of the midst of the cloud.

¶ The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken;

¶ I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou [art] my Son; this day have I begotten thee.

I saw in the night visions, and, behold, [one] like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.

While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.

He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God.

And there came a voice from heaven, [saying], Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.

‹For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.›

‹For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:›

And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God.

The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.

And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.

This is that Moses, which said unto the children of Israel, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear.

And declared [to be] the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:

See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more [shall not] we [escape], if we turn away from him that [speaketh] from heaven:

In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.

And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, [even] in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.

And when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone. And they kept [it] close, and told no man in those days any of those things which they had seen.

And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing.

And Jesus saith unto him, ‹See thou tell no man; but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.›

‹For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.›

And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, ‹Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead.›

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

¶ And they departed thence, and passed through Galilee; and he would not that any man should know [it].

And said unto them, ‹Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:›

Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee.

And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them.

Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.

Jesus answered and said unto them, ‹Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.›

This he said, signifying what death he should die.

His disciples said unto him, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no proverb.

¶ Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts.

‹And if ye will receive› [it], ‹this is Elias, which was for to come.›

And there appeared unto them Elias with Moses: and they were talking with Jesus.

¶ To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim, [A Psalm] of David. Save me, O God; for the waters are come in unto [my] soul.

¶ The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.

I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting.

¶ Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?

And the LORD said unto me, Cast it unto the potter: a goodly price that I was prised at of them. And I took the thirty [pieces] of silver, and cast them to the potter in the house of the LORD.

And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.

Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples,

‹The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born.›

And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God.

Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.

And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.

John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven.

‹But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them.›

And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.

Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and they have slain them which shewed before of the coming of the Just One; of whom ye have been now the betrayers and murderers:

But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,

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

And as he said these things unto them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to urge [him] vehemently, and to provoke him to speak of many things:

And when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone; and they were afraid to come nigh him.

And the Pharisees came forth, and began to question with him, seeking of him a sign from heaven, tempting him.

¶ Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil, blind, and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spake and saw.

And besought him greatly, saying, My little daughter lieth at the point of death: [I pray thee], come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be healed; and she shall live.

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.›

And, behold, a man of the company cried out, saying, Master, I beseech thee, look upon my son: for he is mine only child.

When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought him that he would come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death.

He teareth [me] in his wrath, who hateth me: he gnasheth upon me with his teeth; mine enemy sharpeneth his eyes upon me.

‹But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.›

And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him.

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.

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

And, lo, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth out; and it teareth him that he foameth again, and bruising him hardly departeth from him.

Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.

Because all those men which have seen my glory, and my miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice;

And the LORD'S anger was kindled against Israel, and he made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation, that had done evil in the sight of the LORD, was consumed.

That the generation to come might know [them, even] the children [which] should be born; [who] should arise and declare [them] to their children:

They forgat God their saviour, which had done great things in Egypt;

¶ 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.

Then he said unto them, ‹O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:›

Then saith he to Thomas, ‹Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust› [it] ‹into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.›

Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.

And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him.

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.

And Jesus rebuked him, saying, ‹Hold thy peace, and come out of him.› And when the devil had thrown him in the midst, he came out of him, and hurt him not.

And as he was yet a coming, the devil threw him down, and tare [him]. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and delivered him again to his father.

¶ Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

¶ Man [that is] born of a woman [is] of few days, and full of trouble.

And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years,

‹And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?›

¶ And as [Jesus] passed by, he saw a man which was blind from [his] birth.

And a certain man lame from his mother's womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the temple;

And there he found a certain man named Aeneas, which had kept his bed eight years, and was sick of the palsy.

And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, ‹Believe ye that I am able to do this?› They said unto him, Yea, Lord.

And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, [thou] Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.

¶ 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 when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, ‹Weep not.›

And he said, ‹Come.› And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.

Jesus answered and said unto them, ‹Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this› [which is done] ‹to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done.›

And the Lord said, ‹If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.›

Jesus saith unto her, ‹Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?›

But without faith [it is] impossible to please [him]: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and [that] he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

Turn again, and tell Hezekiah the captain of my people, Thus saith the LORD, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will heal thee: on the third day thou shalt go up unto the house of the LORD.

They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.

And stood at his feet behind [him] weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe [them] with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed [them] with the ointment.

And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.

And said, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God.

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: [it is] the gift of God:

We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth;

Greatly desiring to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, that I may be filled with joy;

Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of [our] faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

¶ Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped.

As they went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed with a devil.

And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour.

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.

(For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For oftentimes it had caught him: and he was kept bound with chains and in fetters; and he brake the bands, and was driven of the devil into the wilderness.)

¶ And he was casting out a devil, and it was dumb. And it came to pass, when the devil was gone out, the dumb spake; and the people wondered.

Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.

For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.

And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth [his] hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, ‹I will; be thou clean.›

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

And he gave her [his] hand, and lifted her up, and when he had called the saints and widows, presented her alive.

And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?

Then answered Peter and said unto him, Declare unto us this parable.

And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable.

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

He went in therefore, and shut the door upon them twain, and prayed unto the LORD.

‹Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last› [state] ‹of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.›

‹Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.›

But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down, and prayed; and turning [him] to the body said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes: and when she saw Peter, she sat up.

But I keep under my body, and bring [it] into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.

In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.

Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

¶ And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, ‹The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men:›

And he said unto them, ‹Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while:› for there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat.

¶ From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day.

‹Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.›

‹Ye know that after two days is› [the feast of] ‹the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified.›

And he answered and told them, ‹Elias verily cometh first, and restoreth all things; and how it is written of the Son of man, that he must suffer many things, and be set at nought.›

¶ Then he took [unto him] the twelve, and said unto them, ‹Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished.›

And he said unto them, ‹These› [are] ‹the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and› [in] ‹the prophets, and› [in] ‹the psalms, concerning me.›

‹And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:›

Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:

If we suffer, we shall also reign with [him]: if we deny [him], he also will deny us:

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?›

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

And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.

¶ And upon this came his disciples, and marvelled that he talked with the woman: yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why talkest thou with her?

Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said unto them, ‹Do ye enquire among yourselves of that I said, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me?›

¶ And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received tribute [money] came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master pay tribute?

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?›

And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man.

Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things [are] naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

¶ At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?

‹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.›

And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest.

[Let] nothing [be done] through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.

¶ I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not.

And seekest thou great things for thyself? seek [them] not: for, behold, I will bring evil upon all flesh, saith the LORD: but thy life will I give unto thee for a prey in all places whither thou goest.

‹But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.›

‹But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he that bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have worship in the presence of them that sit at meat with thee.›

‹But ye› [shall] ‹not› [be] ‹so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve.›

And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,

And he took them up in his arms, put [his] hands upon them, and blessed them.

And said, ‹Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.›

‹And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done› [it] ‹unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done› [it] ‹unto me.›

‹He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me.›

‹I and› [my] ‹Father are one.›

But there remained two [of the] men in the camp, the name of the one [was] Eldad, and the name of the other Medad: and the spirit rested upon them; and they [were] of them that were written, but went not out unto the tabernacle: and they prophesied in the camp.

‹And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast› [them] ‹out? therefore shall they be your judges.›

‹Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?›

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

¶ Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become [as] sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.

‹He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.›

‹And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold› [water] ‹only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.›

Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary the [wife] of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.

But if thy brother be grieved with [thy] meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died.

But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.

And if ye [be] Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

‹But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and› [that] ‹he were drowned in the depth of the sea.›

‹Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did› [it] ‹not to one of the least of these, ye did› [it] ‹not to me.›

And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, ‹Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?›

Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in [his] brother's way.

¶ Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.

Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God:

That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ;

I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully.

¶ And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:

¶ If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which [is] as thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers;

Whose fan [is] in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.

‹And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast› [it] ‹from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not› [that] ‹thy whole body should be cast into hell.›

‹Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast› [them] ‹from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire.›

‹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:›

‹So that servant came, and shewed his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind.›

¶ Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:

¶ Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset [us], and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,

The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?

‹And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.›

‹Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.›

The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:

And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

‹But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.›

‹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:›
