52 Week Bible Reading Plan

Mark 5

1

And they came to the other side of the sea, to the region of the Gadarenes,

2

and he having come forth out of the boat, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,

3

who had his dwelling in the tombs, and not even with chains was any one able to bind him,

4

because that he many times with fetters and chains had been bound, and pulled in pieces by him had been the chains, and the fetters broken in pieces, and none was able to tame him,

5

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

6

And, having seen Jesus from afar, he ran and bowed before him,

7

and having called with a loud voice, he said, `What -- to me and to thee, Jesus, Son of God the Most High? I adjure thee by God, mayest thou not afflict me!'

8

(for he said to him, `Come forth, spirit unclean, out of the man,')

9

and he was questioning him, `What [is] thy name?' and he answered, saying, `Legion [is] my name, because we are many;'

10

and he was calling on him much, that he may not send them out of the region.

11

And there was there, near the mountains, a great herd of swine feeding,

12

and all the demons did call upon him, saying, `Send us to the swine, that into them we may enter;'

13

and immediately Jesus gave them leave, and having come forth, the unclean spirits did enter into the swine, and the herd did rush down the steep place to the sea -- and they were about two thousand -- and they were choked in the sea.

14

And those feeding the swine did flee, and told in the city, and in the fields, and they came forth to see what it is that hath been done;

15

and they come unto Jesus, and see the demoniac, sitting, and clothed, and right-minded -- him having had the legion -- and they were afraid;

16

and those having seen [it], declared to them how it had come to pass to the demoniac, and about the swine;

17

and they began to call upon him to go away from their borders.

18

And he having gone into the boat, the demoniac was calling on him that he may be with him,

19

and Jesus did not suffer him, but saith to him, `Go away to thy house, unto thine own [friends], and tell them how great things the Lord did to thee, and dealt kindly with thee;

20

and he went away, and began to proclaim in the Decapolis how great things Jesus did to him, and all were wondering.

21

And Jesus having passed over in the boat again to the other side, there was gathered a great multitude to him, and he was near the sea,

22

and lo, there doth come one of the chiefs of the synagogue, by name Jairus, and having seen him, he doth fall at his feet,

23

and he was calling upon him much, saying -- `My little daughter is at the last extremity -- that having come, thou mayest lay on her [thy] hands, so that she may be saved, and she shall live;'

24

and he went away with him. And there was following him a great multitude, and they were thronging him,

25

and a certain woman, having an issue of blood twelve years,

26

and many things having suffered under many physicians, and having spent all that she had, and having profited nothing, but rather having come to the worse,

27

having heard about Jesus, having come in the multitude behind, she touched his garment,

28

for she said -- `If even his garments I may touch, I shall be saved;'

29

and immediately was the fountain of her blood dried up, and she knew in the body that she hath been healed of the plague.

30

And immediately Jesus having known in himself that out of him power had gone forth, having turned about in the multitude, said, `Who did touch my garments?'

31

and his disciples said to him, `Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and thou sayest, `Who did touch me!'

32

And he was looking round to see her who did this,

33

and the woman, having been afraid, and trembling, knowing what was done on her, came, and fell down before him, and told him all the truth,

34

and he said to her, `Daughter, thy faith hath saved thee; go away in peace, and be whole from thy plague.'

35

As he is yet speaking, there come from the chief of the synagogue's [house, certain], saying -- `Thy daughter did die, why still dost thou harass the Teacher?'

36

And Jesus immediately, having heard the word that is spoken, saith to the chief of the synagogue, `Be not afraid, only believe.'

37

And he did not suffer any one to follow with him, except Peter, and James, and John the brother of James;

38

and he cometh to the house of the chief of the synagogue, and seeth a tumult, much weeping and wailing;

39

and having gone in he saith to them, `Why do ye make a tumult, and weep? the child did not die, but doth sleep;

40

and they were laughing at him. And he, having put all forth, doth take the father of the child, and the mother, and those with him, and goeth in where the child is lying,

41

and, having taken the hand of the child, he saith to her, `Talitha cumi;' which is, being interpreted, `Damsel (I say to thee), arise.'

42

And immediately the damsel arose, and was walking, for she was twelve years [old]; and they were amazed with a great amazement,

43

and he charged them much, that no one may know this thing, and he said that there be given to her to eat.

Mark 6

1

And he went forth thence, and came to his own country, and his disciples do follow him,

2

and sabbath having come, he began in the synagogue to teach, and many hearing were astonished, saying, `Whence hath this one these things? and what the wisdom that was given to him, that also such mighty works through his hands are done?

3

Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and brother of James, and Joses, and Judas, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us?' -- and they were being stumbled at him.

4

And Jesus said to them -- `A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country, and among his kindred, and in his own house;'

5

and he was not able there any mighty work to do, except on a few infirm people having put hands he did heal [them];

6

and he wondered because of their unbelief. And he was going round the villages, in a circle, teaching,

7

and he doth call near the twelve, and he began to send them forth two by two, and he was giving them power over the unclean spirits,

8

and he commanded them that they may take nothing for the way, except a staff only -- no scrip, no bread, no brass in the girdle,

9

but having been shod with sandals, and ye may not put on two coats.

10

And he said to them, `Whenever ye may enter into a house, there remain till ye may depart thence,

11

and as many as may not receive you, nor hear you, going out thence, shake off the dust that is under your feet for a testimony to them; verily I say to you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom or Gomorrah in a day of judgment than for that city.'

12

And having gone forth they were preaching that [men] might reform,

13

and many demons they were casting out, and they were anointing with oil many infirm, and they were healing [them].

14

And the king Herod heard, (for his name became public,) and he said -- `John the Baptist out of the dead was raised, and because of this the mighty powers are working in him.'

15

Others said -- `It is Elijah,' and others said -- `It is a prophet, or as one of the prophets.'

16

And Herod having heard, said -- `He whom I did behead -- John -- this is he; he was raised out of the dead.'

17

For Herod himself, having sent forth, did lay hold on John, and bound him in the prison, because of Herodias the wife of Philip his brother, because he married her,

18

for John said to Herod -- `It is not lawful to thee to have the wife of thy brother;'

19

and Herodias was having a quarrel with him, and was willing to kill him, and was not able,

20

for Herod was fearing John, knowing him a man righteous and holy, and was keeping watch over him, and having heard him, was doing many things, and hearing him gladly.

21

And a seasonable day having come, when Herod on his birthday was making a supper to his great men, and to the chiefs of thousands, and to the first men of Galilee,

22

and the daughter of that Herodias having come in, and having danced, and having pleased Herod and those reclining (at meat) with him, the king said to the damsel, `Ask of me whatever thou wilt, and I will give to thee,'

23

and he sware to her -- `Whatever thou mayest ask me, I will give to thee -- unto the half of my kingdom.'

24

And she, having gone forth, said to her mother, `What shall I ask for myself?' and she said, `The head of John the Baptist;'

25

and having come in immediately with haste unto the king, she asked, saying, `I will that thou mayest give me presently, upon a plate, the head of John the Baptist.'

26

And the king -- made very sorrowful -- because of the oaths and of those reclining (at meat) with him, would not put her away,

27

and immediately the king having sent a guardsman, did command his head to be brought,

28

and he having gone, beheaded him in the prison, and brought his head upon a plate, and did give it to the damsel, and the damsel did give it to her mother;

29

and having heard, his disciples came and took up his corpse, and laid it in the tomb.

30

And the apostles are gathered together unto Jesus, and they told him all, and how many things they did, and how many things they taught,

31

and he said to them, `Come ye yourselves apart to a desert place, and rest a little,' for those coming and those going were many, and not even to eat had they opportunity,

32

and they went away to a desert place, in the boat, by themselves.

33

And the multitudes saw them going away, and many recognised him, and by land from all the cities they ran thither, and went before them, and came together to him,

34

and having come forth, Jesus saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion on them, that they were as sheep not having a shepherd, and he began to teach many things.

35

And now the hour being advanced, his disciples having come near to him, say, -- `The place is desolate, and the hour is now advanced,

36

let them away, that, having gone away to the surrounding fields and villages, they may buy to themselves loaves, for what they may eat they have not.'

37

And he answering said to them, `Give ye them to eat,' and they say to him, `Having gone away, may we buy two hundred denaries' worth of loaves, and give to them to eat?'

38

And he saith to them, `How many loaves have ye? go and see;' and having known, they say, `Five, and two fishes.'

39

And he commanded them to make all recline in companies upon the green grass,

40

and they sat down in squares, by hundreds, and by fifties.

41

And having taken the five loaves and the two fishes, having looked up to the heaven, he blessed, and brake the loaves, and was giving to his disciples, that they may set before them, and the two fishes divided he to all,

42

and they did all eat, and were filled,

43

and they took up of broken pieces twelve hand-baskets full, and of the fishes,

44

and those eating of the loaves were about five thousand men.

45

And immediately he constrained his disciples to go into the boat, and to go before to the other side, unto Bethsaida, till he may let the multitude away,

46

and having taken leave of them, he went away to the mountain to pray.

47

And evening having come, the boat was in the midst of the sea, and he alone upon the land;

48

and he saw them harassed in the rowing, for the wind was against them, and about the fourth watch of the night he doth come to them walking on the sea, and wished to pass by them.

49

And they having seen him walking on the sea, thought [it] to be an apparition, and cried out,

50

for they all saw him, and were troubled, and immediately he spake with them, and saith to them, `Take courage, I am [he], be not afraid.'

51

And he went up unto them to the boat, and the wind lulled, and greatly out of measure were they amazed in themselves, and were wondering,

52

for they understood not concerning the loaves, for their heart hath been hard.

53

And having passed over, they came upon the land of Gennesaret, and drew to the shore,

54

and they having come forth out of the boat, immediately having recognised him,

55

having run about through all that region round about, they began upon the couches to carry about those ill, where they were hearing that he is,

56

and wherever he was going, to villages, or cities, or fields, in the market-places they were laying the infirm, and were calling upon him, that they may touch if it were but the fringe of his garment, and as many as were touching him were saved.
