Hi, and welcome to
His Words are Life.
00:00:16.49\00:00:18.72
I'm Kelly Mowrer,
and I'll be reading today
00:00:18.75\00:00:21.56
from the King James Version
of the Bible. Before we begin
00:00:21.59\00:00:24.63
reading, let's go to
God in prayer. O my Father,
00:00:24.66\00:00:28.80
thank you so much that
you have given us these words
00:00:28.83\00:00:31.80
that profit us, and are health
to us - meat and honey and
00:00:31.83\00:00:37.38
sweet in our mouth and filling
us with all good things. Make us
00:00:37.41\00:00:41.30
fit for your service.
Please bless us now as we read
00:00:41.33\00:00:44.58
together these words of life.
May we give you honor and glory
00:00:44.61\00:00:48.46
in all that we do. We love
you so much and we ask all these
00:00:48.49\00:00:51.36
things in the name of Jesus.
Amen. I'm reading from the
00:00:51.39\00:00:55.51
King James version, the
book of Mark, chapter two
00:00:55.54\00:00:59.16
and beginning with verse 23.
And it came to pass that he went
00:00:59.19\00:01:04.26
through the corn fields on the
Sabbath day; and his disciples
00:01:04.29\00:01:07.62
began, as they went,
to pluck the ears of corn.
00:01:07.65\00:01:10.74
And the Pharisees said unto
him, Behold, why do they on the
00:01:10.77\00:01:15.64
Sabbath day that which is not
lawful? And he said unto them,
00:01:15.67\00:01:20.08
Have ye never read what
David did, when he had need,
00:01:20.11\00:01:23.14
and was an hungered, he,
and they that were with him?
00:01:23.17\00:01:26.02
How he went into the house
of God in the days of Abiathar
00:01:26.05\00:01:29.55
the high priest, and did eat the
shewbread, which is not lawful
00:01:29.58\00:01:33.19
to eat but for the priests,
and gave also to them which were
00:01:33.22\00:01:36.58
with him? And he said unto them,
The Sabbath was made for man,
00:01:36.61\00:01:41.79
and not man for the Sabbath:
Therefore the Son of man
00:01:41.82\00:01:46.18
is Lord also of the Sabbath. -
I'm reading in the book of Mark,
00:01:46.21\00:01:51.06
chapter 3. - And he entered
again into the synagogue;
00:01:51.09\00:01:54.99
and there was a man there
which had a withered hand.
00:01:55.02\00:01:57.92
And they watched him,
whether he would heal him
00:01:57.95\00:02:00.98
on the Sabbath day;
that they might accuse him.
00:02:01.01\00:02:03.86
And he saith unto the man
which had the withered hand,
00:02:03.89\00:02:06.87
Stand forth. And he saith unto
them, Is it lawful to do good
00:02:06.90\00:02:11.56
on the Sabbath days, or to do
evil? to save life, or to kill?
00:02:11.59\00:02:16.22
But they held their peace. And
when he had looked round about
00:02:16.25\00:02:20.71
on them with anger,
being grieved for the hardness
00:02:20.74\00:02:24.16
of their hearts, he saith
unto the man, Stretch forth
00:02:24.19\00:02:27.97
thine hand. And he stretched it
out: and his hand was restored
00:02:28.00\00:02:31.79
whole as the other. And
the Pharisees went forth,
00:02:31.82\00:02:35.85
and straightway took counsel
with the Herodians against him,
00:02:35.88\00:02:39.54
how they might destroy
him. But Jesus withdrew himself
00:02:39.57\00:02:43.84
with his disciples to the
sea: and a great multitude from
00:02:43.87\00:02:47.25
Galilee followed him, and
from Judea, and from Jerusalem,
00:02:47.28\00:02:50.74
and from Idumea, and from beyond
Jordan; and they about Tyre and
00:02:50.77\00:02:55.76
Sidon, a great multitude, when
they had heard what great things
00:02:55.79\00:02:59.48
he did, came unto him.
And he spake to his disciples,
00:02:59.51\00:03:03.26
that a small ship should wait
on him because of the multitude,
00:03:03.29\00:03:06.89
lest they should throng him.
For he had healed many; insomuch
00:03:06.92\00:03:11.59
that they pressed
upon him for to touch him,
00:03:11.62\00:03:14.18
as many as had plagues. And
unclean spirits, when they saw
00:03:14.22\00:03:18.12
him fell down before him, and
cried, saying, Thou art the Son
00:03:18.15\00:03:21.44
of God. And he straitly charged
them that they should not make
00:03:21.47\00:03:25.96
him known. And he goeth up into
a mountain, and calleth unto him
00:03:25.99\00:03:30.61
whom he would: and they came
unto him. And he ordained 12,
00:03:30.64\00:03:35.69
that they should be with
him, and that he might send them
00:03:35.72\00:03:38.89
forth to preach, and to
have power to heal sicknesses,
00:03:38.92\00:03:42.43
and to cast out devils:
And Simon he surnamed Peter;
00:03:42.46\00:03:46.93
and James the son of Zebedee,
and John the brother of James;
00:03:46.96\00:03:51.72
and he surnamed them Boanerges,
which is, The sons of thunder:
00:03:51.75\00:03:57.63
And Andrew, and Philip,
and Bartholomew, and Matthew,
00:03:57.66\00:04:01.77
and Thomas, and James the son
of Alphaeus, and Thaddeus, and
00:04:01.80\00:04:06.34
Simon the Canaanite, and Judas
Iscariot, which also betrayed
00:04:06.37\00:04:10.84
him: and they went into
an house. And the multitude
00:04:10.87\00:04:14.54
cometh together again, so that
they could not so much as eat
00:04:14.57\00:04:18.44
bread. And when his friends
heard of it, they went out
00:04:18.47\00:04:21.40
to lay hold on him: for
they said, He is beside himself.
00:04:21.43\00:04:24.20
And the scribes which
came down from Jerusalem said,
00:04:24.23\00:04:27.67
He hath Beelzebub, and by the
prince of the devils casteth he
00:04:27.70\00:04:31.69
out devils. And he called them
unto him, and said unto them
00:04:31.72\00:04:35.78
in parables, How can Satan
cast out Satan? And if a kingdom
00:04:35.81\00:04:41.00
be divided against itself,
that kingdom cannot stand.
00:04:41.03\00:04:44.75
And if a house be divided
against itself, that house
00:04:44.78\00:04:48.72
cannot stand. And if
Satan rise up against himself,
00:04:48.75\00:04:52.49
and be divided, he
cannot stand, but hath an end.
00:04:52.52\00:04:55.38
No man can enter
into a strong man's house,
00:04:55.41\00:04:58.97
and spoil his goods, except he
will first bind the strong man;
00:04:59.00\00:05:03.13
and then he will spoil his
house. Verily I say unto you,
00:05:03.16\00:05:07.43
All sins shall be forgiven unto
the sons of men, and blasphemies
00:05:07.46\00:05:12.16
wherewithsoever they shall
blaspheme: But he that shall
00:05:12.19\00:05:16.42
blaspheme against the Holy
Ghost hath never forgiveness,
00:05:16.45\00:05:19.84
but is in danger
of eternal damnation:
00:05:19.87\00:05:22.71
because they said, He hath an
unclean spirit. There came then
00:05:22.74\00:05:28.20
his brethren and his mother, and
standing without, sent unto him
00:05:28.23\00:05:32.28
calling him. And the multitude
sat about him, and they said
00:05:32.31\00:05:35.40
unto him, Behold, thy
mother and thy brethren without
00:05:35.43\00:05:38.65
seek for thee. And he answered
them, saying, Who is my mother,
00:05:38.68\00:05:42.37
or my brethren? And he looked
round about on them which sat
00:05:42.40\00:05:46.41
about him, and said, Behold
my mother and my brethren!
00:05:46.44\00:05:50.20
For whosoever shall do the will
of God, the same is my brother,
00:05:50.23\00:05:54.76
and my sister, and mother. - I'm
reading from the book of Mark,
00:05:54.79\00:06:00.85
Chapter 4. - And he began
again to teach by the sea side:
00:06:00.88\00:06:05.96
and there was gathered
unto him a great multitude,
00:06:05.99\00:06:09.27
so that he entered into
ship, and sat in the sea;
00:06:09.30\00:06:12.63
and the whole multitude
was by the sea on the land.
00:06:12.66\00:06:15.81
And he taught them many things
by parables, and said unto them
00:06:15.84\00:06:19.88
in his doctrine, Hearken; Behold
there went out a sower to sow:
00:06:19.91\00:06:25.14
And it came to pass, as he sowed
some fell by the way side, and
00:06:25.17\00:06:30.17
the fowls of the air
came and devoured it up.
00:06:30.20\00:06:32.19
And some fell on stony ground,
where it had not much earth;
00:06:32.22\00:06:36.67
and immediately it sprang up,
because it had no depth of earth
00:06:36.70\00:06:40.59
but when the sun was up, it was
scorched; and because it had no
00:06:40.62\00:06:44.45
root, it withered away.
And some fell among thorns,
00:06:44.48\00:06:48.89
and the thorns
grew up, and choked it,
00:06:48.92\00:06:50.53
and it yielded no fruit.
And other fell on good ground,
00:06:50.56\00:06:54.93
and did yield fruit
that sprang up and increased;
00:06:54.96\00:06:58.45
and brought forth,
some thirty, and some sixty,
00:06:58.48\00:07:01.44
and some an hundred. And he said
unto them, He that hath ears to
00:07:01.47\00:07:05.62
hear, let him hear. And when he
was alone, they that were about
00:07:05.65\00:07:10.66
him with the twelve
asked of him the parable.
00:07:10.69\00:07:12.93
And he said unto them, Unto you
it is given to know the mystery
00:07:12.96\00:07:17.40
of the kingdom of God: but
unto them that are without,
00:07:17.43\00:07:20.61
all these things
are done in parables:
00:07:20.64\00:07:22.65
that seeing they may see, and
not perceive; and hearing they
00:07:22.68\00:07:27.73
may hear, and not understand;
lest at any time they should be
00:07:27.76\00:07:32.16
converted, and their
sins should be forgiven them.
00:07:32.19\00:07:34.71
And he said unto them,
Know ye not this parable?
00:07:34.74\00:07:38.14
and how then will
ye know all parables?
00:07:38.17\00:07:41.24
The sower soweth the word. And
these are they by the way side,
00:07:41.27\00:07:46.84
where the word is sown;
but when they have heard,
00:07:46.87\00:07:50.37
Satan cometh immediately
and taketh away the word
00:07:50.40\00:07:53.16
that was sown in their hearts.
And these are they likewise
00:07:53.19\00:07:56.92
which are sown on stony ground;
who, when they have heard the
00:07:56.95\00:08:00.53
word, immediately receive it
with gladness; and have no root
00:08:00.56\00:08:04.92
in themselves, and so endure
but for a time: afterward,
00:08:04.95\00:08:09.44
when affliction or persecution
ariseth for the word's sake,
00:08:09.47\00:08:13.11
immediately they are offended.
And these are they which are
00:08:13.14\00:08:17.22
sown among thorns; such as hear
the word, and the cares of this
00:08:17.25\00:08:22.03
world and the deceitfulness of
riches, and the lusts of other
00:08:22.06\00:08:25.72
things entering in, choke the
word and it becometh unfruitful.
00:08:25.75\00:08:30.59
And these are they
which are sown on good ground;
00:08:30.62\00:08:34.62
such as hear the word, and
receive it, and bring forth
00:08:34.65\00:08:38.74
fruit, some thirtyfold,
some sixty, and some an hundred.
00:08:38.77\00:08:42.84
And he said unto them, Is a
candle brought to be put under
00:08:42.87\00:08:47.27
a bushel, or under a bed? and
not to be set on a candlestick?
00:08:47.30\00:08:51.17
For there is nothing hid,
which shall not be manifested;
00:08:51.20\00:08:54.66
neither was anything kept secret
but that it should come abroad.
00:08:54.69\00:08:58.61
If any man have ears
to hear, let him hear.
00:08:58.64\00:09:02.31
And he said unto them, Take heed
what ye hear: with what measure
00:09:02.34\00:09:07.44
ye mete, it shall be measured
to you: and unto you that hear
00:09:07.47\00:09:11.54
shall more be given. For he that
hath, to him shall be given:
00:09:11.57\00:09:16.76
and he that hath not, from
him shall be taken even that
00:09:16.79\00:09:20.86
which he hath. And he
said, So is the kingdom of God,
00:09:20.89\00:09:24.82
as if a man should
cast seed into the ground;
00:09:24.85\00:09:28.20
and should sleep, and rise night
and day, and the seed should
00:09:28.23\00:09:32.83
spring and grow up, he knoweth
not how. For the earth bringeth
00:09:32.86\00:09:38.01
forth fruit of herself;
first the blade, then the ear,
00:09:38.04\00:09:41.91
after that the full corn
in the ear. But when the fruit
00:09:41.95\00:09:45.79
is brought forth, immediately
he putteth in the sickle,
00:09:45.84\00:09:48.93
because the harvest is come.
And he said, Whereunto shall
00:09:48.96\00:09:53.31
we liken the kingdom of God?
or with what comparison shall we
00:09:53.34\00:09:56.66
compare it? It is like a
grain of mustard seed, which,
00:09:56.69\00:10:00.69
when it is sown in the earth,
is less than all the seeds
00:10:00.72\00:10:03.91
that be in the earth: But when
it is sown, it groweth up, and
00:10:03.94\00:10:08.17
becometh greater than all herbs,
and shooteth out great branches;
00:10:08.20\00:10:11.99
so that the fowls of the air may
lodge under the shadow of it.
00:10:12.02\00:10:16.18
And with many such parables
spake he the word unto them,
00:10:16.21\00:10:20.68
as they were able to hear
it. But without a parable spake
00:10:20.71\00:10:24.65
he not unto them: and when they
were alone, he expounded all
00:10:24.68\00:10:28.54
things to his disciples. And the
same day, when the even was come
00:10:28.57\00:10:33.11
he saith unto them, Let us
pass over unto the other side.
00:10:33.14\00:10:36.48
And when they had sent away
the multitude, they took him
00:10:36.51\00:10:40.23
even as he was in the ship. And
there were also with him other
00:10:40.26\00:10:44.33
little ships. And there
arose a great storm of wind, and
00:10:44.36\00:10:48.70
the waves beat into the
ship, so that it was now full.
00:10:48.73\00:10:51.77
And he was in the hinder part
of the ship, asleep on a pillow:
00:10:51.80\00:10:55.37
and they awake him, and say unto
him, Master, carest thou not
00:10:55.40\00:10:59.86
that we perish? And he
arose, and rebuked the wind,
00:10:59.89\00:11:03.84
and said unto the sea, Peace,
be still. And the wind ceased,
00:11:03.87\00:11:09.54
and there was a great
calm. And he said unto them,
00:11:09.57\00:11:13.08
Why are ye so fearful? how
is it that ye have no faith?
00:11:13.11\00:11:17.80
And they feared exceedingly,
and said one to another,
00:11:17.83\00:11:21.35
What manner of man is this,
that even the wind and the sea
00:11:21.38\00:11:25.35
obey him? - I'm reading in
the book of Mark, chapter 5.
00:11:25.38\00:11:29.77
And they had came over
unto the other side of the sea,
00:11:29.80\00:11:34.30
into the country
of the Gadarenes.
00:11:34.33\00:11:37.14
And when he was come out of the
ship, immediately there met him
00:11:37.17\00:11:40.97
out of the tombs a man
with an unclean spirit,
00:11:41.00\00:11:43.64
who had his dwelling among the
tombs; and no man could bind him
00:11:43.67\00:11:47.64
no, not with chains: because
that he had been often bound
00:11:47.67\00:11:52.32
with fetters and chains, and the
chains had been plucked asunder
00:11:52.35\00:11:55.57
by him, and the fetters broken
in pieces: neither could any man
00:11:55.60\00:11:59.95
tame him. And always, night
and day, he was in the mountains
00:11:59.98\00:12:03.79
and in the tombs, crying
and cutting himself with stones.
00:12:03.82\00:12:07.17
But when he saw Jesus afar
off, he ran and worshipped him,
00:12:07.20\00:12:11.78
and cried with a loud voice
and said, What have I to do
00:12:11.81\00:12:14.48
with thee, Jesus, thou Son
of the most high God? I adjure
00:12:14.51\00:12:18.23
the by God, that thou torment
me not. For he said unto him,
00:12:18.26\00:12:22.47
Come out of the man, thou
unclean spirit. And he asked
00:12:22.50\00:12:27.12
him, What is thy name?
And he answered, saying,
00:12:27.15\00:12:30.66
My name is Legion: for we are
many. And he besought him much
00:12:30.69\00:12:34.93
that he would not send
them away out of the country.
00:12:34.96\00:12:37.28
Now there was there nigh unto
the mountains a great herd of
00:12:37.31\00:12:41.76
swine feeding. And all
the devils besought him,
00:12:41.79\00:12:44.88
saying, Send us into the swine,
that we may enter into them.
00:12:44.91\00:12:47.70
And forthwith Jesus gave them
leave. And the unclean spirits
00:12:47.73\00:12:53.01
went out, and entered into the
swine and the herd ran violently
00:12:53.04\00:12:57.01
down a steep place into the sea
they were about two thousand;
00:12:57.04\00:13:00.87
and were choked in the sea. And
they that fed the swine fled,
00:13:00.90\00:13:06.34
and told it in the city, and in
the country. And they went out
00:13:06.37\00:13:09.16
to see what it was that was
done. And they come to Jesus,
00:13:09.19\00:13:14.13
and see him that was
possessed with the devil,
00:13:14.16\00:13:16.43
and had the legion, sitting, and
clothed, and in his right mind:
00:13:16.46\00:13:21.35
and they were afraid. And
they that saw it told them
00:13:21.38\00:13:25.22
how it befell to him that
was possessed with the devil,
00:13:25.25\00:13:27.97
and also concerning the swine.
And they began to pray him to
00:13:28.00\00:13:32.07
depart out of their coasts. And
when he was come into the ship,
00:13:32.10\00:13:35.54
he that had been possessed with
the devil prayed him that he
00:13:35.57\00:13:39.49
might be with him.
Howbeit Jesus suffered him not,
00:13:39.52\00:13:43.38
but saith unto him, Go home to
thy friends, and tell them how
00:13:43.41\00:13:48.07
great things the Lord hath done
for thee and hath had compassion
00:13:48.10\00:13:51.86
on thee. And he departed, and
began to publish in Decapolis
00:13:51.89\00:13:55.69
how great things Jesus has done
for him: and all men did marvel.
00:13:55.72\00:14:00.00
And when Jess was passed over
again by ship unto the other
00:14:00.03\00:14:04.84
side, much people gathered unto
him and he was nigh unto the sea
00:14:04.87\00:14:09.19
and behold, there cometh one
of the rulers of the synagogue,
00:14:09.22\00:14:12.48
Jairus by name; and when he
saw him, he fell at his feet.
00:14:12.51\00:14:16.69
and besought him greatly,
saying, My little daughter
00:14:16.72\00:14:19.89
lieth at the point
of death: I pray thee,
00:14:19.92\00:14:22.55
come and lay thy hands on
her, that she may be healed;
00:14:22.58\00:14:26.01
and she shall live. - Thank you
