Hi, and welcome to His Words
are Life. I'm Kelly Mowrer,
00:00:16.78\00:00:20.35
and I'll be reading today
from the King James version
00:00:20.38\00:00:23.14
of the Bible; but before we go
to the Bible, let us go to the
00:00:23.17\00:00:25.93
Author of the bible.
Let's ask our heavenly Father
00:00:25.96\00:00:28.37
to be with us. Dear Heavenly
Father, thank you so much
00:00:28.40\00:00:32.55
for the promise of your Holy
Spirit to guide us into truth
00:00:32.58\00:00:36.88
to give us understanding
of what we are about to read.
00:00:36.91\00:00:39.69
Please come and be with
us in these next few minutes
00:00:39.72\00:00:42.11
as we read about your
incredible love for us
00:00:42.14\00:00:45.09
and the sacrifice that You
and your Son made so that we can
00:00:45.12\00:00:48.51
one day come and live with you
forever. We thank you for that
00:00:48.54\00:00:51.80
We love you. We ask all of these
things in the name of Jesus.
00:00:51.83\00:00:55.64
Amen. When last we were
together, we were reading
00:00:55.67\00:01:00.27
Matthew's account of the
crucifixion. We'll continue on
00:01:00.30\00:01:04.06
now in Matthew, chapter
27, picking up with verse 55.
00:01:04.09\00:01:08.65
And many women were
there beholding afar off,
00:01:08.68\00:01:13.09
which followed Jesus from
Galilee, ministering unto him:
00:01:13.12\00:01:17.39
among which was Mary Magdalene,
and Mary the mother of James and
00:01:17.42\00:01:21.44
Joses, and the mother
of Zebedee's children.
00:01:21.47\00:01:24.12
When the even was come, there
came a rich man of Arimathea,
00:01:24.15\00:01:28.87
named Joseph, who also
himself was Jesus' disciple:
00:01:28.90\00:01:32.65
He went to Pilate, and begged
the body of Jesus. Then Pilate
00:01:32.68\00:01:37.28
commanded the body to be
delivered. And when Joseph
00:01:37.31\00:01:40.34
had taken the body, he wrapped
it in a clean linen cloth,
00:01:40.37\00:01:43.63
And laid it in his own new tomb,
which he had hewn out in the
00:01:43.66\00:01:47.52
rock: and he rolled a
great stone to the door
00:01:47.55\00:01:50.22
of the sepulcher, and departed.
And there was Mary Magdalene,
00:01:50.25\00:01:53.70
and the other Mary, sitting
over against the sepulcher.
00:01:53.73\00:01:56.46
Now the next day, that followed
the day of the preparation,
00:01:56.49\00:02:00.18
the chief priests and Pharisees
came together unto Pilate,
00:02:00.21\00:02:03.80
saying, Sir, we remember that
that deceiver said, while he was
00:02:03.83\00:02:07.35
yet alive, After three
days I will rise again. Command
00:02:07.38\00:02:11.17
therefore that the sepulcher be
made sure until the third day,
00:02:11.20\00:02:14.93
lest his disciples come
by night and steal him away,
00:02:14.96\00:02:18.17
and say unto the people,
He is risen from the dead:
00:02:18.20\00:02:20.88
so the last error shall be worse
than the first. Pilate said unto
00:02:20.91\00:02:25.69
them, Ye have a watch: go your
way, make it as sure as ye can.
00:02:25.72\00:02:30.91
So they went and
made the sepulcher sure,
00:02:30.94\00:02:34.34
sealing the stone, and setting
a watch. - I'm, reading from
00:02:34.37\00:02:39.21
Matthew, chapter 28. - In the
end of the Sabbath, as it began
00:02:39.24\00:02:44.42
to dawn toward the first day
of the week, came Mary Magdalene
00:02:44.45\00:02:47.81
and the other Mary to see
the sepulcher. And, behold,
00:02:47.84\00:02:51.62
there was a great earthquake:
for the angel of the Lord
00:02:51.65\00:02:55.16
descended from heaven, and
came and rolled back the stone
00:02:55.19\00:02:58.96
from the door, and sat upon
it. His countenance was like
00:02:58.99\00:03:02.78
lightening, and his
raiment white as snow:
00:03:02.81\00:03:05.23
And for fear of him the keepers
did shake, and became as dead
00:03:05.26\00:03:09.68
men. And the angel answered and
said unto the women, Fear not ye
00:03:09.71\00:03:14.64
for I know that ye seek
Jesus, which was crucified.
00:03:14.67\00:03:17.81
He is not here: for he is risen,
as he said. Come, see the place
00:03:17.84\00:03:24.03
where the Lord lay. And go
quickly, and tell his disciples
00:03:24.06\00:03:27.13
that he is risen from the dead;
and behold, he goeth before you
00:03:27.16\00:03:30.92
into Galilee; there shall
ye see him: lo I have told you.
00:03:30.95\00:03:34.72
And they departed quickly
from the sepulcher with fear
00:03:34.75\00:03:38.59
and great joy; and did run
to bring his disciples word.
00:03:38.62\00:03:42.59
And as they went to tell
his disciples, behold, Jesus met
00:03:42.62\00:03:47.62
them, saying, All hail.
And they came and held him by
00:03:47.65\00:03:51.91
the feet, and worshipped
him. Then said Jesus unto them,
00:03:51.94\00:03:55.36
Be not afraid: go tell
my brethren that they go
00:03:55.39\00:03:59.43
into Galilee, and
there shall they see me.
00:03:59.46\00:04:02.71
Now when they were going, behold
some of the watch came into city
00:04:02.74\00:04:07.82
and shewed unto the chief
priests all the things that
00:04:07.85\00:04:11.22
were done. And when they were
assembled with the elders, and
00:04:11.25\00:04:15.01
had taken counsel, they gave
large money unto the soldiers,
00:04:15.04\00:04:18.76
Saying, Say ye, His disciples
came by night, and stole him
00:04:18.79\00:04:23.36
away while we slept. And if
this come to the governor's ears
00:04:23.39\00:04:27.20
we will persuade him,
and secure you. So they took
00:04:27.23\00:04:31.16
the money, and did as they
were taught: and this saying
00:04:31.19\00:04:33.99
is commonly reported
among the Jews until this day.
00:04:34.02\00:04:36.99
Then the eleven disciples
went away into Galilee,
00:04:37.02\00:04:40.89
into a mountain where
Jesus had appointed them.
00:04:40.92\00:04:43.60
And when they saw
him, they worshipped him:
00:04:43.63\00:04:47.01
But some doubted. And Jesus came
and spake unto them, saying,
00:04:47.04\00:04:51.86
All power is given unto
me in heaven and in earth.
00:04:51.89\00:04:56.68
Go ye therefore, and teach
all nations, baptizing them
00:04:56.71\00:05:01.21
in the name of the Father, and
of the Son and of the Holy Ghost
00:05:01.24\00:05:05.41
teaching them to observe
all things whatsoever I have
00:05:05.44\00:05:09.23
commanded you: and,
lo I am with you alway,
00:05:09.26\00:05:12.87
even unto the end of the world.
Amen. - We are now beginning
00:05:12.90\00:05:20.25
in the book of Mark, reading
from the King James version,
00:05:20.28\00:05:23.27
chapter one. - The beginning
of the gospel of Jesus Christ,
00:05:23.30\00:05:28.70
the Son of God; As it is written
in the prophets, Behold, I send
00:05:28.73\00:05:34.19
my messenger before thy face,
which shall prepare thy way
00:05:34.22\00:05:37.67
before thee. The voice of
one crying in the wilderness,
00:05:37.70\00:05:40.51
prepare ye the way of the
Lord, make his paths straight.
00:05:40.54\00:05:44.06
John did baptize in
the wilderness, and preach
00:05:44.09\00:05:47.89
the baptism of repentance
for the remission of sins.
00:05:47.92\00:05:50.94
And there went out unto
him all the land of Judea,
00:05:50.97\00:05:54.53
and they of Jerusalem, and were
all baptized of him in the river
00:05:54.56\00:05:58.78
of Jordan, confessing
their sins. And John was clothed
00:05:58.81\00:06:03.20
with camel's hair, and with a
girdle of a skin about his loins
00:06:03.23\00:06:07.47
and he did eat locusts and wild
honey; and preached, saying,
00:06:07.50\00:06:12.34
There cometh one mightier than
I after me, the latchet of whose
00:06:12.37\00:06:16.46
shoes I am not worthy
to stoop down and unloose.
00:06:16.49\00:06:20.21
I indeed have baptized you with
water: but he shall baptize you
00:06:20.24\00:06:25.92
with the Holy Ghost. And
it came to pass in those days,
00:06:25.95\00:06:29.76
that Jesus came from Nazareth of
Galilee and was baptized of John
00:06:29.79\00:06:33.95
in Jordan. And straightway
coming up out of the water,
00:06:33.98\00:06:38.05
he saw the heavens opened,
and the Spirit like a dove
00:06:38.08\00:06:41.40
descending upon him: And there
came a voice from heaven, saying
00:06:41.43\00:06:44.97
Thou art my beloved Son,
in whom I am well pleased.
00:06:45.00\00:06:48.63
And immediately the Spirit
driveth him into the wilderness.
00:06:48.66\00:06:52.95
And he was there in
the wilderness forty days,
00:06:52.98\00:06:55.91
tempted of Satan; and was with
the wild beasts; and the angels
00:06:55.94\00:07:01.02
ministered unto him. Now after
that John was put in prison,
00:07:01.05\00:07:05.79
Jesus came into
Galilee, preaching the gospel
00:07:05.82\00:07:08.36
of the kingdom of God. And
saying, The time is fulfilled,
00:07:08.39\00:07:11.32
and the kingdom of God is
at hand: repent ye, and believe
00:07:11.35\00:07:15.25
the gospel. Now as he walked by
the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon
00:07:15.28\00:07:19.96
and Andrew his brother
casting a net into the sea:
00:07:19.99\00:07:23.48
for they were fishers. And Jesus
said unto them, Come ye after me
00:07:23.51\00:07:27.96
and I will make you
to become fishers of men.
00:07:27.99\00:07:30.94
And straightway they forsook
their nets, and followed him.
00:07:30.97\00:07:35.27
And when he had gone a little
farther thence, he saw James
00:07:35.30\00:07:38.65
the son of Zebedee, and John his
brother, who also were in the
00:07:38.68\00:07:42.92
ship mending their nets.
And straightway he called them:
00:07:42.95\00:07:46.13
And they left their
father Zebedee in the ship
00:07:46.16\00:07:49.37
with the hired
servants, and went after him.
00:07:49.40\00:07:51.86
And they went into Capernaum;
and straightway on the Sabbath
00:07:51.89\00:07:55.56
day he entered into
the synagogue and taught.
00:07:55.59\00:07:58.55
And they were astonished at
his doctrine: for he taught them
00:07:58.58\00:08:02.59
as one that had authority,
and not as the scribes.
00:08:02.62\00:08:06.35
And there was in their synagogue
a man with an unclean spirit;
00:08:06.38\00:08:11.73
and he cried out, Saying,
Let us alone; what have we to do
00:08:11.76\00:08:15.26
with thee, thou Jesus
of Nazareth? art thou come
00:08:15.29\00:08:17.92
to destroy us? I know
thee who thou art, the Holy One
00:08:17.95\00:08:21.23
of God. And Jesus rebuked
him, saying, Hold thy peace,
00:08:21.26\00:08:25.77
and come out of him. And when
the unclean spirit had torn him,
00:08:25.80\00:08:30.35
and cried with a loud
voice, he came out of him.
00:08:30.38\00:08:32.43
And they were all amazed
insomuch that they questioned
00:08:32.46\00:08:36.46
among themselves, saying, What
thing is this? what new doctrine
00:08:36.49\00:08:40.36
is this? for with
authority commandeth he even the
00:08:40.39\00:08:44.18
unclean spirits, and they
do obey him. And immediately
00:08:44.21\00:08:47.60
his fame spread abroad
throughout all the region
00:08:47.63\00:08:50.83
around about Galilee.
And forthwith, when they were
00:08:50.86\00:08:54.65
come out of the synagogue, they
entered into the house of Simon
00:08:54.68\00:08:57.83
and Andrew, with James and
John. But Simon's wife's mother
00:08:57.86\00:09:02.40
lay sick of a fever, and
anon they tell him of her.
00:09:02.43\00:09:06.00
And he came and took her by
the hand, and lifted her up;
00:09:06.03\00:09:09.43
and immediately the fever left
her and she ministered unto them
00:09:09.46\00:09:13.49
And at even, when the sun did
set, they brought unto him all
00:09:13.52\00:09:18.87
that were diseased, and them
that were possessed with devils.
00:09:18.90\00:09:22.03
And all the city was
gathered together at the door.
00:09:22.06\00:09:25.19
And he healed many that were
sick of divers diseases, and
00:09:25.22\00:09:28.76
cast out many devils; and
suffered not the devils to
00:09:28.79\00:09:32.23
speak, because they knew him.
And in the morning, rising up
00:09:32.26\00:09:37.05
a great while before
day, he went out, and departed
00:09:37.08\00:09:41.17
into a solitary
place, and there prayed.
00:09:41.20\00:09:44.51
And Simon and they that were
with him followed after him.
00:09:44.54\00:09:48.96
And when they had found
him, they said unto him, All men
00:09:48.99\00:09:52.93
seek for thee. And he said unto
them, Let us go into the next
00:09:52.96\00:09:57.55
town, that I may preach there
also: for therefore came I forth
00:09:57.58\00:10:01.94
And he preached in
their synagogues throughout
00:10:01.97\00:10:05.41
all Galilee, and cast
out devils. And there came
00:10:05.44\00:10:09.98
a leper to him, beseeching
him, and kneeling down to him,
00:10:10.01\00:10:13.62
and saying unto him, If thou
wilt, thou canst make me clean.
00:10:13.65\00:10:17.88
And Jesus, moved with compassion
put forth his hand, and touched
00:10:17.91\00:10:22.79
him, and saith unto him, I
will; be thou clean. And as soon
00:10:22.82\00:10:27.92
as he had spoken, immediately
the leprosy departed from him,
00:10:27.95\00:10:31.72
and he was cleansed.
And he straitly charged him,
00:10:31.75\00:10:35.03
and forthwith sent him
away; And saith unto him,
00:10:35.06\00:10:38.90
See thou say nothing to any man;
but go thy way, shew thyself
00:10:38.93\00:10:43.42
to the priest, and offer
for thy cleansing those things
00:10:43.45\00:10:46.78
which Moses commanded,
for a testimony unto them.
00:10:46.81\00:10:49.62
But he went out, and began
to publish it much, and to blaze
00:10:49.65\00:10:53.48
abroad the matter, insomuch that
Jesus could no more openly enter
00:10:53.51\00:10:58.11
into the city, but was without
in the desert places; and they
00:10:58.14\00:11:02.19
came to him from every quarter.
- The book of Mark, chapter 2. -
00:11:02.22\00:11:07.74
And again he entered into
Capernaum after some days;
00:11:07.77\00:11:12.13
and it was noised that he was in
the house. And straightway many
00:11:12.16\00:11:16.14
were gathered together,
insomuch that there was no room
00:11:16.17\00:11:19.42
to receive them, no, not
so much as about the door:
00:11:19.45\00:11:22.83
and he preached the word unto
them. And they come unto him,
00:11:22.86\00:11:27.39
bringing one sick of the
palsy, which was borne of four.
00:11:27.42\00:11:31.63
And when they could not come
nigh unto him for the press,
00:11:31.66\00:11:34.95
they uncovered the roof where
he was: and when they had broken
00:11:34.98\00:11:39.00
it up, they let down the bed
wherein the sick of the palsy
00:11:39.03\00:11:42.44
lay. When Jesus saw their
faith, he said unto the sick
00:11:42.47\00:11:47.03
of the palsy, Son,
thy sins be forgiven thee.
00:11:47.06\00:11:50.54
But there were certain of
the scribes sitting there,
00:11:50.57\00:11:53.95
and reasoning in their hearts,
Why doth this man thus speak
00:11:53.98\00:11:58.73
blasphemies? who can
forgive sins but God only?
00:11:58.76\00:12:02.03
And immediately when
Jesus perceived in his spirit
00:12:02.06\00:12:05.98
that they so reasoned within
themselves, he said unto them,
00:12:06.01\00:12:09.85
Why reason ye these things
in your hearts? Whether is it
00:12:09.88\00:12:14.66
easier to say to the sick of the
palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee
00:12:14.69\00:12:18.78
or to say, Arise, and
take up thy bed and walk?
00:12:18.81\00:12:23.21
But that ye may know that the
Son of man hath power on earth
00:12:23.24\00:12:28.09
to forgive sins, he saith
to the sick of the palsy, I say
00:12:28.12\00:12:32.65
unto thee, Arise, and
take up thy bed, and go thy way
00:12:32.68\00:12:36.42
into thine house.
And immediately he arose,
00:12:36.45\00:12:40.63
took up the bed, and went forth
before them all; insomuch that
00:12:40.66\00:12:44.82
they were all amazed,
and glorified God, saying,
00:12:44.85\00:12:47.56
We never saw it on this fashion.
And he went forth again by the
00:12:47.59\00:12:52.33
sea side; and all the
multitude resorted unto him,
00:12:52.36\00:12:55.16
and he taught them. And
as he passed by, he saw Levi
00:12:55.19\00:12:58.69
the son of Alpheus sitting
at the receipt of custom,
00:12:58.72\00:13:01.84
and said unto him, Follow me.
And he arose and followed him.
00:13:01.87\00:13:06.45
And it came to pass, that, as
Jesus sat at meat in his house,
00:13:06.48\00:13:11.69
many publicans and sinners
sat also together with Jesus
00:13:11.72\00:13:15.70
and his disciples: for there
were many, and they followed
00:13:15.73\00:13:18.46
him. And when the scribes
and Pharisees saw him eat
00:13:18.49\00:13:22.08
with publicans and sinners,
they said unto his disciples,
00:13:22.11\00:13:25.02
How is it that he eateth
and drinketh with publicans and
00:13:25.05\00:13:28.93
sinners? When Jesus
heard it, he saith unto them,
00:13:28.97\00:13:32.59
They that are whole have
no need of the physician,
00:13:32.62\00:13:36.17
but they that are sick: I
came not to call the righteous,
00:13:36.20\00:13:40.39
but sinners to repentance.
And the disciples of John
00:13:40.42\00:13:44.81
and of the Pharisees used
to fast: and they come and say
00:13:44.84\00:13:48.43
unto him, Why do the disciples
of John and of the Pharisees
00:13:48.46\00:13:51.85
fast, but thy disciples fast
not? And Jesus said unto them,
00:13:51.88\00:13:56.75
Can the children of
the bride-chamber fast,
00:13:56.78\00:13:59.53
while the bridegroom is with
them? as long as they have the
00:13:59.56\00:14:03.01
bridegroom with them,
they cannot fast. But the days
00:14:03.04\00:14:06.18
will come when the bridegroom
shall be taken away from them,
00:14:06.21\00:14:08.81
and then shall
they fast in those days.
00:14:08.84\00:14:11.65
No man also seweth a piece
of new cloth on an old garment:
00:14:11.68\00:14:16.30
else the new piece that filled
it up taketh away from the old,
00:14:16.33\00:14:19.76
and the rent is made worse.
And no man putteth new wine
00:14:19.79\00:14:23.89
into old bottles: else the
new wine doth burst the bottles,
00:14:23.92\00:14:27.35
and the wine is spilled,
and the bottles will be marred:
00:14:27.38\00:14:29.81
but new wine must be put into
new bottles. - God bless you.
