Hi, I'm Kelly Mowrer and
thank you for joining me today
00:00:17.84\00:00:20.80
for His Words are Life. I'll
be reading from the King James
00:00:20.83\00:00:24.25
version. And the last time
we were starting the story of a
00:00:24.28\00:00:27.73
man named Jairus, who came to
Jesus and said, My daughter is
00:00:27.76\00:00:30.31
about to die. Will you
please come and heal her?
00:00:30.34\00:00:32.86
And as we read today, as
the answer to that request,
00:00:32.89\00:00:35.98
it is one of my favorite stories
of faith and the answer to faith
00:00:36.01\00:00:39.42
in the bible. But
before we read his word,
00:00:39.45\00:00:42.12
let's go to Him in
prayer. Dear heavenly Father,
00:00:42.15\00:00:45.68
thank you so much that for all
of us who have been on the point
00:00:45.71\00:00:50.71
of death because of our sins,
you have come and you healed us
00:00:50.74\00:00:54.18
by your presence and you've
not only come to give us eternal
00:00:54.21\00:00:57.65
life; but to give
us an abundant life.
00:00:57.68\00:00:59.42
here and now. Thank you for the
life that we will find reading
00:00:59.45\00:01:03.07
your word today. Please bless us
as we read it, and be with us.
00:01:03.10\00:01:06.52
We love you.
Amen. Again I'm reading
00:01:06.55\00:01:11.13
from the King James version,
the book of Mark, chapter five,
00:01:11.16\00:01:14.65
beginning with verse
24. And Jesus went with him;
00:01:14.68\00:01:19.50
and much people followed him,
and thronged him. And a certain
00:01:19.53\00:01:23.55
woman, which had an
issue of blood twelve years,
00:01:23.58\00:01:26.26
and had suffered many things of
many physicians, and had spent
00:01:26.29\00:01:30.67
all that she had,
and was nothing bettered,
00:01:30.70\00:01:33.19
but rather grew worse,
When she had heard of Jesus,
00:01:33.22\00:01:37.01
came in the press
behind, and touched his garment.
00:01:37.04\00:01:41.24
For she said, If I may touch but
his clothes, I shall be whole.
00:01:41.27\00:01:46.21
And straightway the fountain
of her blood was dried up;
00:01:46.24\00:01:50.24
and she felt in her body that
she was healed of that plague.
00:01:50.27\00:01:54.01
And Jesus, immediately knowing
in himself that virtue had gone
00:01:54.04\00:01:59.00
out of him, turned him
about in the press, and said,
00:01:59.03\00:02:02.04
Who touched my clothes? And
his disciples said unto him,
00:02:02.07\00:02:06.49
Thou seest the
multitude thronging thee,
00:02:06.52\00:02:09.07
and sayest thou, Who touched
me? And he looked round about
00:02:09.10\00:02:13.10
to see her that had done this
thing. But the woman fearing
00:02:13.13\00:02:17.81
and trembling, knowing what
was done in her, came and fell
00:02:17.84\00:02:22.24
down before him, and
told him all the truth.
00:02:22.27\00:02:25.14
And he said unto her, Daughter,
thy faith hath made thee whole;
00:02:25.17\00:02:29.97
go in peace, and be whole of
thy plague. While he yet spake,
00:02:30.00\00:02:35.08
there came from the
ruler of the synagogue's house
00:02:35.11\00:02:37.80
certain which said, Thy daughter
is dead: why troublest thou the
00:02:37.83\00:02:43.19
Master any further? As soon
as Jesus heard the word that was
00:02:43.22\00:02:46.80
spoken, he saith unto the ruler
of the synagogue, Be not afraid,
00:02:46.83\00:02:50.56
only believe. And he suffered no
man to follow him, save Peter,
00:02:50.59\00:02:55.04
and James, and John the brother
of James. And he cometh to the
00:02:55.07\00:02:59.52
house of the ruler of
the synagogue, and seeth the
00:02:59.55\00:03:02.32
tumult, and them that
wept and wailed greatly.
00:03:02.35\00:03:05.34
And when he was come in, he
saith unto them, Why make ye
00:03:05.37\00:03:09.87
this ado, and weep? the damsel
is not dead, but sleepeth. And
00:03:09.90\00:03:15.33
they laughed him to scorn. But
when he had put them all out,
00:03:15.36\00:03:19.01
he taketh the father and
the mother of the damsel,
00:03:19.04\00:03:22.33
and them that were
with him, and entereth in
00:03:22.36\00:03:25.31
where the damsel was lying. And
he took the damsel by the hand,
00:03:25.34\00:03:28.89
and said unto her, Talitha cumi:
which is, being interpreted,
00:03:28.92\00:03:34.19
Damsel, I say unto thee, arise.
And straightway the damsel
00:03:34.22\00:03:38.60
arose, and walked; for she
was of the age of twelve years.
00:03:38.63\00:03:41.80
And they were astonished
with a great astonishment.
00:03:41.83\00:03:45.89
And he charged them straitly
that no man should know it;
00:03:45.92\00:03:49.95
and commanded that something
should be given her to eat.
00:03:49.98\00:03:53.79
I'm reading from the
book of Mark, chapter six.
00:03:53.82\00:03:57.50
And he went out from thence,
and came into his own country;
00:03:57.53\00:04:01.67
and his disciples followed
him. And when the Sabbath day
00:04:01.70\00:04:04.55
was come, he began to teach in
the synagogue: and many hearing
00:04:04.58\00:04:08.76
him were astonished, saying,
>From whence hath this man
00:04:08.79\00:04:12.45
these things? and what wisdom
is this which is given unto him,
00:04:12.48\00:04:15.70
that even such mighty
works are wrought by his hands?
00:04:15.73\00:04:19.31
Is not this the carpenter,
the son of Mary, the brother of
00:04:19.34\00:04:22.75
James and Joses, and of
Juda and Simon? and are not his
00:04:22.78\00:04:26.73
sisters here with us? And
They were offended at him.
00:04:26.76\00:04:30.49
But Jesus said unto them, A
prophet is not without honor
00:04:30.53\00:04:34.22
but in his own
country, and among his own kin.
00:04:34.25\00:04:36.65
and in his own house. And he
could there do no mighty work,
00:04:36.77\00:04:41.42
save that he laid his hands upon
a few sick folk and healed them.
00:04:41.45\00:04:45.85
And he marvelled because
of their unbelief. And he went
00:04:45.88\00:04:50.86
round about the villages,
teaching. And he called
00:04:50.89\00:04:53.89
unto him the twelve and began
to send them forth by 2 and 2.
00:04:53.92\00:04:58.30
and gave them power over unclean
spirits; And commanded them
00:04:58.33\00:05:02.37
that they should take nothing
for their journey, save a staff
00:05:02.40\00:05:05.37
only; no scrip, no
bread, no money in their purse:
00:05:05.40\00:05:09.16
but be shod with sandals
and not put on two coats,
00:05:09.20\00:05:12.89
And he said unto them, In what
place soever ye enter into an
00:05:12.93\00:05:17.31
house, there abide till
ye depart from that place.
00:05:17.34\00:05:20.93
And whosoever shall not
receive you, nor hear you,
00:05:20.96\00:05:24.14
when ye depart thence, shake
off the dust under your feet
00:05:24.17\00:05:28.23
for a testimony against
them. Verily I say unto you,
00:05:28.26\00:05:31.77
It shall be more tolerable
for Sodom and Gomorrha in the
00:05:31.80\00:05:35.13
day of judgement, than for
that city. And they went out,
00:05:35.16\00:05:38.90
and preached that men should
repent. And they cast out many
00:05:38.93\00:05:43.10
devils, and anointed
with oil many that were sick,
00:05:43.13\00:05:45.99
and healed them. And king Herod
heard of him; - for his name was
00:05:46.02\00:05:50.13
spread abroad: and he
said, That John the Baptist was
00:05:50.16\00:05:53.67
risen from the dead,
and therefore mighty works
00:05:53.70\00:05:56.26
do shew themselves in him.
Others said, That it is Elias.
00:05:56.29\00:06:01.11
And others said, That it
is a prophet, or as one of the
00:06:01.14\00:06:04.16
prophets. But when Herod heard
thereof he said, It is John whom
00:06:04.19\00:06:09.10
I beheaded: he is risen from the
dead. For Herod himself had sent
00:06:09.13\00:06:13.10
forth and laid hold upon John,
and bound him in prison for
00:06:13.13\00:06:17.59
Herodias' sake, his brother
Philip's wife: for he had
00:06:17.62\00:06:21.11
married her. For John had said
unto Herod, It is not lawful for
00:06:21.14\00:06:25.22
thee to have thy brother's wife.
Therefore Herodias had a quarrel
00:06:25.25\00:06:29.98
against him, and would have
killed him; but she could not.
00:06:30.01\00:06:32.96
For Herod feared John, knowing
that he was a just man and an
00:06:32.99\00:06:37.40
holy, and observed him; and when
he heard him, he did many things
00:06:37.43\00:06:41.15
and heard him gladly. And
when a convenient day was come,
00:06:41.18\00:06:45.64
that Herod on his birthday
made a supper to his lords,
00:06:45.67\00:06:49.62
high captains, and
chief estates of Galilee;
00:06:49.65\00:06:52.66
and when the daughter of
said Herodias came in and danced
00:06:52.69\00:06:56.83
and pleased Herod and
them that sat with him,
00:06:56.86\00:07:00.08
the king said unto the damsel,
Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt,
00:07:00.11\00:07:03.83
and I will give it thee,
and he sware unto her, Whatever
00:07:03.86\00:07:07.90
you will ask me, will give it
thee, unto half of my kingdom.
00:07:07.93\00:07:11.26
And she went forth,
and said unto her mother,
00:07:11.29\00:07:14.34
What shall I ask? And she said,
The head of John the Baptist.
00:07:14.37\00:07:19.06
And she came in straightway with
haste unto the king, and asked,
00:07:19.09\00:07:24.05
saying, I will that thou give me
by and by in a charger, the head
00:07:24.08\00:07:30.55
of John the Baptist. And
the king was exceeding sorry;
00:07:30.58\00:07:34.68
yet for his oath's sake, and for
their sakes which sat with him,
00:07:34.71\00:07:38.70
he would not reject her.
And immediately the king sent an
00:07:38.73\00:07:42.88
executioner, and commanded his
head to be brought: and he went
00:07:42.91\00:07:47.40
and beheaded him in the
prison, and brought his head
00:07:47.43\00:07:51.54
in a charger, and gave it to the
damsel: and the damsel gave it
00:07:51.57\00:07:54.43
to her mother. And when
his disciples heard of it,
00:07:54.46\00:07:57.45
they came and took up his
corpse, and laid it in a tomb.
00:07:57.48\00:08:01.28
And the apostles gathered
themselves together unto Jesus,
00:08:01.31\00:08:06.09
and told him all
things, both what they had done,
00:08:06.12\00:08:09.32
and what they had
taught. And he said unto them,
00:08:09.35\00:08:12.68
Come ye yourselves apart into
a desert place and rest a while:
00:08:12.72\00:08:17.16
for there were many coming and
going, and they had no leisure
00:08:17.19\00:08:21.24
so much as to eat. And they
departed into a desert place
00:08:21.27\00:08:25.34
by a ship privately. And
the people saw them departing,
00:08:25.37\00:08:29.40
and many knew him, and ran
afoot thither out of all cities,
00:08:29.43\00:08:33.21
and out went them, and came
together unto him. And Jesus,
00:08:33.24\00:08:37.30
when he came out, saw
much people, and was moved
00:08:37.33\00:08:40.44
with compassion toward
them, because they were as sheep
00:08:40.47\00:08:43.72
not having a shepherd: and he
began to teach them many things.
00:08:43.75\00:08:47.98
And when the day was now far
spent, his disciples came unto
00:08:48.01\00:08:52.70
him and said, This is a desert
place, and now the time is far
00:08:52.73\00:08:56.44
passed: Send them away, that
they may go into the country
00:08:56.47\00:09:00.04
round about and into the
villages, and buy themselves
00:09:00.07\00:09:02.98
bread: for they have nothing
to eat. He answered and said
00:09:03.01\00:09:07.42
unto them, Give ye them to eat.
And they say unto him, Shall we
00:09:07.45\00:09:12.09
go and buy 200 pennyworth
of bread, and give them to eat?
00:09:12.12\00:09:15.64
He saith unto them, How
many loaves have ye? go and see.
00:09:15.67\00:09:20.74
And when they knew, they
say, Five, and two fishes.
00:09:20.77\00:09:24.88
and he commanded them to make
all sit down by companies upon
00:09:24.91\00:09:28.95
the green grass. And they
sat down in ranks, by hundreds,
00:09:28.98\00:09:32.32
and by fifties. And when
he had taken the five loaves
00:09:32.35\00:09:35.51
and the two fishes, he looked up
to heaven, and blessed and brake
00:09:35.54\00:09:39.71
the loaves, and gave them to his
disciples to set before them;
00:09:39.74\00:09:42.85
and the two fishes divided
he among them all. And they did
00:09:42.88\00:09:46.74
all eat, and were filled.
And they took up twelve baskets
00:09:46.77\00:09:50.72
full of the fragments, and
of the fishes. And they that did
00:09:50.75\00:09:54.25
eat of the loaves were
about five thousand men.
00:09:54.28\00:09:57.01
And straightway he constrained
his disciples to get into the
00:09:57.04\00:10:01.47
ship and go to the other
side before unto Bethsaida,
00:10:01.50\00:10:05.73
while he sent away the people.
And when he had sent them away,
00:10:05.76\00:10:09.61
he departed into a mountain
to pray. And when even was come,
00:10:09.64\00:10:14.07
the ship was in the midst of the
sea, and he alone on the land.
00:10:14.10\00:10:18.68
And he saw them
toiling in rowing; for the wind
00:10:18.71\00:10:22.98
was contrary unto them:
and about the fourth watch
00:10:23.01\00:10:26.11
of the night he cometh
unto them, walking upon the sea,
00:10:26.14\00:10:30.02
and would have passed by them.
But when they saw him walking
00:10:30.05\00:10:34.28
upon the sea, they supposed it
had been a spirit and cried out:
00:10:34.31\00:10:37.82
for they all saw him, and were
troubled. And immediately he
00:10:37.85\00:10:40.59
talked with them, and saith unto
unto them, Be of good cheer:
00:10:40.62\00:10:43.54
it is I; be not afraid. And he
went up unto them into the ship;
00:10:43.57\00:10:48.25
and the wind ceased: and they
were sore amazed in themselves
00:10:48.28\00:10:53.05
beyond measure, and wondered.
For they considered not
00:10:53.08\00:10:57.20
the miracle of the loaves:
for their heart was hardened.
00:10:57.23\00:11:00.28
And when they had passed
over, they came into the land
00:11:00.31\00:11:04.13
of Gennesaret, and drew to the
shore. And when they were come
00:11:04.16\00:11:08.19
out of the ship, straightway
they knew him, and ran
00:11:08.22\00:11:11.00
through that whole region round
about, and began to carry about
00:11:11.03\00:11:13.98
in beds those that were
sick, where they heard he was.
00:11:14.01\00:11:17.37
And whithersoever he entered,
into villages, or cities,
00:11:17.40\00:11:21.17
or country, they laid the sick
in the streets, and besought
00:11:21.20\00:11:25.32
him that they might
touch if it were but the border
00:11:25.35\00:11:28.01
of his garment: and as many
as touched him were made whole.
00:11:28.04\00:11:31.75
I'm reading in the book of
Mark, and now on chapter seven.
00:11:31.78\00:11:35.85
Then came together unto him
the Pharisees, and certain of
00:11:35.88\00:11:40.64
the scribes, which came from
Jerusalem. And when they saw
00:11:40.67\00:11:44.11
some of his disciples eat bread
with defiled, that is to say
00:11:44.14\00:11:47.70
with unwashen hands, they
found fault. For the Pharisees,
00:11:47.73\00:11:52.10
and all the Jews, except
they that wash their hands oft,
00:11:52.13\00:11:55.31
eat not, holding the tradition
of the elders. And when they
00:11:55.35\00:12:00.26
come from the market,
except they wash, they eat not.
00:12:00.30\00:12:03.36
And many other things there be,
which they have received to hold
00:12:03.39\00:12:07.11
as the washing of cups and pots,
brasen vessels, and of tables.
00:12:07.14\00:12:11.12
Then the Pharisees and scribes
asked him, Why walk not thy
00:12:11.15\00:12:16.21
disciples according to
the tradition of the elders,
00:12:16.24\00:12:18.48
but eat bread with unwashen
hands? He answered and said
00:12:18.51\00:12:23.31
unto them, Well hath Esaias
prophesied of you hypocrites,
00:12:23.34\00:12:27.47
as it is written, This people
honoureth me with their lips,
00:12:27.50\00:12:31.28
but their heart is far from me.
Howbeit in vain do they worship
00:12:31.31\00:12:36.44
me, teaching for doctrines
the commandments of men.
00:12:36.47\00:12:40.03
For laying aside the commandment
of God, ye hold the tradition of
00:12:40.06\00:12:43.94
men, as the washing of pots and
cups: and many other such like
00:12:43.97\00:12:48.04
things ye do. And he said unto
them, Full well ye reject the
00:12:48.08\00:12:52.14
commandment of God, that ye
may keep your own tradition.
00:12:52.17\00:12:55.25
For Moses said, Honor thy
father and thy mother; and Whoso
00:12:55.28\00:12:58.80
curseth father or mother let
him die the death. But ye say,
00:12:58.83\00:13:02.85
If a man shall say to his father
or mother, It is Corban, that is
00:13:02.88\00:13:07.61
to say, a gift, by whatsoever
thou mightest be profited by me;
00:13:07.64\00:13:11.44
he shall be free. And ye suffer
him no more to do aught for
00:13:11.47\00:13:15.37
his father or his
mother; Making the word of God
00:13:15.40\00:13:17.91
of none effect through
your tradition, which ye have
00:13:17.94\00:13:20.76
delivered: and many
such like things do ye.
00:13:20.79\00:13:23.71
And when he had called
all the people unto him,
00:13:23.74\00:13:26.77
he said unto them, Hearken
unto me every one of you,
00:13:26.80\00:13:29.62
and understand: There is
nothing from without a man,
00:13:29.65\00:13:33.30
that entering into him
can defile him: but the things
00:13:33.33\00:13:37.21
which come out of him, those
are they that defile the man.
00:13:37.24\00:13:41.44
If any man have ears
to hear, let him hear.
00:13:41.47\00:13:45.13
And when he was entered
into the house from the people,
00:13:45.16\00:13:48.69
his disciples asked
him concerning the parable.
00:13:48.72\00:13:51.57
And he saith unto them, Are ye
so without understanding also?
00:13:51.60\00:13:55.40
Do ye not perceive, that
whatsoever thing from without
00:13:55.43\00:13:58.91
entereth into the man, it cannot
defile him; Because it entereth
00:13:58.94\00:14:02.51
not into his heart, but
into the belly, and goeth out
00:14:02.54\00:14:05.79
into the draught,
purging all meats? And he said,
00:14:05.82\00:14:08.17
That which cometh out of
the man, that defileth the man.
00:14:08.20\00:14:12.36
For from within, out of
the heart of men, proceed evil
00:14:12.39\00:14:15.46
thoughts, adulteries,
fornications, murders,
00:14:15.49\00:14:18.05
thefts, covetousness,
wickedness, deceit,
00:14:18.08\00:14:21.00
lasciviousness, and evil eye,
blasphemy, pride, foolishness:
00:14:21.03\00:14:25.82
All these evil things come
from within, and defile the man.
00:14:25.85\00:14:30.77
Thank you for joining with me
today, for His words are life.
