Bible Reading for October 26
Mark 11
[1] And when they came nigh to Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the
mount of Olives, he sendeth forth two of his disciples, [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.
[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. [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. [5] And certain of them that stood there said unto
them, What do ye, loosing the colt?
[6] And they said unto them even as Jesus had commanded: and they let them go.
[7] And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments on him; and he
sat upon him.
[8] And many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down branches
off the trees, and strawed them in the way. [9] And they that went before, and
they that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in the
name of the Lord: [10] Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that cometh
in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.
[11] And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple: and when he had
looked round about upon all things, and now the eventide was come, he went out
unto Bethany with the twelve.
[12] And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry: [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. [14] And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man
eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it. [15] And
they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out
them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the
moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves; [16] And would not
suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple.
[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.
[18] And the scribes 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.
[19] And when even was come, he went out of the city. [20] And in the morning,
as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots.
[21] And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig
tree which thou cursedst is withered away. [22] And Jesus answering saith unto
them, Have faith in God. [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. [24] Therefore I
say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye
receive them, and ye shall have them. [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. [26] But if ye do not forgive, neither will your
Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.
[27] And they come again to Jerusalem: and as he was walking in the temple,
there come to him the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders, [28] And
say unto him, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee
this authority to do these things? [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.
[30] The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men? answer me. [31] And
they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will
say, Why then did ye not believe him? [32] But if we shall say, Of men; they
feared the people: for all men counted John, that he was a prophet indeed.
[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.
Mark 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. [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. [3] And they caught him, and
beat him, and sent him away empty. [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. [5] And again he sent another; and him they
killed, and many others; beating some, and killing some.
[6] Having yet therefore one son, his wellbeloved, he sent him also last unto
them, saying, They will reverence my son. [7] But those husbandmen said among
themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall
be ours. [8] And they took him, and killed him, and cast him out of the
vineyard. [9] What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do? he will come
and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others. [10] And
have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is
become the head of the corner: [11] This was the Lord's doing, and it is
marvellous in our eyes? [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.
[13] And they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, to
catch him in his words.
[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 Caesar, or
not?
[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. [16] And
they brought it. And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and
superscription? And they said unto him, Caesar's. [17] And Jesus answering
said unto them, Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the
things that are God's. And they marvelled at him.
[18] Then come unto him the Sadducees, which say there is no resurrection; and
they asked him, saying,
[19] Master, Moses wrote unto us, If a man's brother die, and leave his wife
behind him, and leave no children, that his brother should take his wife, and
raise up seed unto his brother. [20] Now there were seven brethren: and the
first took a wife, and dying left no seed.
[21] And the second took her, and died, neither left he any seed: and the
third likewise.
[22] And the seven had her, and left no seed: last of all the woman died also.
[23] In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife shall she
be of them? for the seven had her to wife. [24] And Jesus answering said unto
them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the
power of God? [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. [26] And
as touching the dead, that they rise: have ye not read in the book of Moses,
how in the bush God spake unto him, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the
God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? [27] He is not the God of the dead, but
the God of the living: ye therefore do greatly err.
[28] And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together,
and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first
commandment of all?
[29] And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O
Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: [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.
[31] And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as
thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these. [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: [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. [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.
[35] And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the temple, How say the
scribes that Christ is the Son of David? [36] For David 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. [37] David therefore himself calleth him Lord;
and whence is he then his son? And the common people heard him gladly. [38]
And he said unto them in his doctrine, Beware of the scribes, which love to go
in long clothing, and love salutations in the marketplaces, [39] And the chief
seats in the synagogues, and the uppermost rooms at feasts:
[40] Which devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these
shall receive greater damnation. [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. [42] And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in
two mites, which make a farthing.
[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:
[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.
Mark 13
[1] And as he went out of the temple, one of his disciples saith unto him,
Master, see what manner of stones and what buildings are here! [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.
[3] And as he sat upon the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter and
James and John and Andrew asked him privately, [4] Tell us, when shall these
things be? and what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled?
[5] And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you:
[6] For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive
many.
[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. [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. [9] But take heed to yourselves: for they shall
deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye
shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against
them. [10] And the gospel must first be published among all nations. [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.
[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] 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. [14] But when ye shall see the
abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it
ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea
flee to the mountains: [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:
[16] And let him that is in the field not turn back again for to take up his
garment.
[17] But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those
days!
[18] And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter. [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.
[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.
[21] And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is
there; believe him not:
[22] For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and
wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect. [23] But take ye
heed: behold, I have foretold you all things. [24] But in those days, after
that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her
light, [25] And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in
heaven shall be shaken.
[26] And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great
power and glory.
[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.
[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: [29] So ye in like manner,
when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the
doors. [30] Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till
all these things be done.
[31] Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. [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. [33] Take ye heed, watch and pray:
for ye know not when the time is. [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.
[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: [36] Lest
coming suddenly he find you sleeping. [37] And what I say unto you I say unto
all, Watch.
