Hi, and welcome to
His Words are Life.
00:00:17.05\00:00:19.65
I'm Kelly Mowrer,
and I'll be reading today
00:00:19.68\00:00:22.04
from the King James version.
And today we're we'll get to
00:00:22.07\00:00:25.33
read together the story of
incredible sacrifice at Calvary
00:00:25.36\00:00:29.85
that Jesus did for us
to reconcile us to Him,
00:00:29.88\00:00:33.48
to bring us close
to Him once again.
00:00:33.51\00:00:35.38
Before we begin to read those
wonderful words let's go to
00:00:35.41\00:00:38.37
Him in prayer. Dear Jesus, thank
you so much for your incredible
00:00:38.40\00:00:43.92
love to us, to me, to all of us,
that while we were yet sinners
00:00:43.95\00:00:49.50
You came and you died for
us that we might become one
00:00:49.53\00:00:53.37
with you again and one day
soon we'll come home and live
00:00:53.40\00:00:56.32
with you forever. Please be with
us now as we read these words.
00:00:56.35\00:01:00.07
We thank you for loving
us so much. We can't begin to
00:01:00.10\00:01:03.48
understand it; but please
be with us now and help us to
00:01:03.51\00:01:08.82
draw closer to you, to become
more what you want us to be;
00:01:08.85\00:01:12.29
because of the sacrifice that
you made. We love you Jesus.
00:01:12.32\00:01:15.59
Amen. I'm reading today from
the book of Mark, chapter 14,
00:01:15.62\00:01:21.39
beginning in verse 17. -
And in the evening he cometh
00:01:21.42\00:01:26.77
with the twelve. And as they
sat and did eat, Jesus said,
00:01:26.80\00:01:29.85
Verily I say unto you, One
of you which eateth with me
00:01:29.88\00:01:33.74
shall betray me. And they began
to be sorrowful, and to say unto
00:01:33.77\00:01:37.97
him one by one, Is it I?
and another said, Is it I?
00:01:38.00\00:01:41.83
And he answered and said unto
them, It is one of the twelve,
00:01:41.86\00:01:45.71
that dippeth with me in the dish
The Son of man indeed goeth,
00:01:45.74\00:01:49.94
as it is written of him: but woe
to that man by whom the Son of
00:01:49.97\00:01:54.81
man is betrayed! good were
it for that man if he had never
00:01:54.84\00:01:58.82
been born. And as they did eat,
Jesus took bread, and blessed,
00:01:58.85\00:02:03.09
and brake it, and gave to
them, and said, Take, eat:
00:02:03.12\00:02:07.18
this is my body. And he took the
cup and when he had given thanks
00:02:07.21\00:02:12.20
he gave it to them:
and they all drank of it.
00:02:12.23\00:02:14.48
And he said unto them, This is
my blood of the new testament,
00:02:14.51\00:02:18.36
which is shed for many. Verily
I say unto you, I will drink
00:02:18.39\00:02:22.83
no more of the fruit of the vine
until that day that I drink it
00:02:22.86\00:02:26.75
new in the kingdom of God.
And when they had sung an hymn,
00:02:26.78\00:02:30.75
they went out into the mount of
Olives and Jesus saith unto them
00:02:30.78\00:02:35.06
All ye shall be offended
because of me this night:
00:02:35.09\00:02:38.58
for it is written, I will smite
the shepherd, and the sheep
00:02:38.61\00:02:42.00
shall be scattered. But after
that I am risen I will go before
00:02:42.03\00:02:46.28
you into Galilee. But
Peter said unto him, Although
00:02:46.31\00:02:50.42
all shall be offended, yet will
not I. And Jesus saith unto him
00:02:50.45\00:02:56.01
Verily I say unto thee,
That this day, even this night,
00:02:56.04\00:02:59.55
before the cock crow twice,
thou shalt deny me thrice.
00:02:59.58\00:03:04.25
But he spake the more vehemently
If I should die with thee I will
00:03:04.28\00:03:08.65
deny thee in any wise.
Likewise also said they all.
00:03:08.68\00:03:13.05
And they came to a place
which was named Gethsemane:
00:03:13.08\00:03:16.90
and he saith to his disciples,
Sit ye here, while I shall pray.
00:03:16.93\00:03:21.56
And he taketh with him Peter and
James and John, and began to be
00:03:21.59\00:03:26.47
sore amazed, and to be
very heavy; And saith unto them,
00:03:26.50\00:03:30.21
My soul is exceeding sorrowful
unto death: tarry ye here,
00:03:30.24\00:03:35.09
and watch. And he went forward
a little, and fell on the ground
00:03:35.12\00:03:38.80
and prayed that, if it were
possible, the hour might pass
00:03:38.83\00:03:42.90
from him. And he said, Abba,
Father, all things are possible
00:03:42.93\00:03:47.69
unto thee; take away this cup
from me: nevertheless not what
00:03:47.72\00:03:53.69
I will, but what thou wilt.
And he cometh, and findeth them
00:03:53.72\00:03:57.95
sleeping, and saith unto
Peter, Simon, sleepest thou?
00:03:57.98\00:04:01.56
couldest not thou watch
one hour? Watch ye an pray,
00:04:01.59\00:04:05.63
lest ye enter into temptation.
The spirit truly is ready,
00:04:05.66\00:04:09.96
but the flesh is weak. And
again he went away, and prayed,
00:04:09.99\00:04:14.12
and spake the same words. And
when he returned, he found them
00:04:14.15\00:04:18.21
asleep again, for their eyes
were heavy, neither wist they
00:04:18.24\00:04:22.05
what to answer him. And
he cometh the third time,
00:04:22.08\00:04:25.26
and saith unto them, Sleep
on now, and take your rest:
00:04:25.29\00:04:28.98
it is enough, the hour is
come; behold, the Son of man
00:04:29.01\00:04:33.93
is betrayed into the hands
of sinners. Rise up, let us go;
00:04:33.96\00:04:38.71
lo, he that betrayeth me
is at hand. And immediately,
00:04:38.74\00:04:44.12
while he yet spake,
cometh Judas, one of the twelve,
00:04:44.15\00:04:46.93
and with him a great multitude
with swords and staves,
00:04:46.96\00:04:50.26
from the chief priests and
the scribes and the elders.
00:04:50.29\00:04:52.80
And he that betrayed him
had given them a token, saying,
00:04:52.83\00:04:56.40
Whomsoever I shall kiss, that
same is he; take him, and lead
00:04:56.43\00:05:00.88
him away safely. And as
soon as he was come, he goeth
00:05:00.91\00:05:05.22
straightway to him, and saith,
Mater, master; and kissed him.
00:05:05.25\00:05:08.98
And they laid their hands on him
and took him. And one of them
00:05:09.01\00:05:13.24
that stood by drew a
sword, and smote a servant of
00:05:13.27\00:05:16.50
the high priest, and cut off
his ear. And Jesus answered and
00:05:16.53\00:05:20.37
said unto them, Are ye come out,
as against a thief, with swords
00:05:20.40\00:05:25.38
and with staves to take
me? I was daily with you
00:05:25.41\00:05:28.85
in the temple teaching, and ye
took me not: but the scriptures
00:05:28.88\00:05:33.49
must be fulfilled. And
they all forsook him, and fled.
00:05:33.52\00:05:38.02
And there followed him a certain
young man, having a linen cloth
00:05:38.05\00:05:42.21
cast about his naked body; and
the young men laid hold on him:
00:05:42.24\00:05:45.84
And he left the linen
cloth, and fled from them naked.
00:05:45.87\00:05:49.33
And they led Jesus away to the
high priest: and with him were
00:05:49.36\00:05:53.81
assembled all the chief priests
and the elders and the scribes.
00:05:53.84\00:05:57.07
And Peter followed him afar off,
even into the palace of the high
00:05:57.10\00:06:01.64
priest: and he sat with the
servants, and warmed himself
00:06:01.67\00:06:05.04
at the fire. And the chief
priests and all the council
00:06:05.07\00:06:08.47
sought for witness against
Jesus to put him to death;
00:06:08.50\00:06:11.41
and found none. For many
bare false witness against him,
00:06:11.44\00:06:16.34
but their witness agreed
not together. And there arose
00:06:16.37\00:06:20.07
certain and bare false witness
against him, saying, We heard
00:06:20.10\00:06:23.20
him say, I will destroy this
temple that is made with hands,
00:06:23.23\00:06:26.67
and within three days I
will build another made without
00:06:26.70\00:06:29.33
hands. But neither so did
their witness agree together.
00:06:29.36\00:06:32.97
And the high priest stood up
in the midst, and asked Jesus,
00:06:33.00\00:06:37.20
saying, Answerest thou nothing?
what is it which these witness
00:06:37.23\00:06:41.16
against thee? But he held
his peace, and answered nothing.
00:06:41.19\00:06:45.49
Again the high priest
asked him, and said unto him,
00:06:45.52\00:06:48.83
Art thou the Christ, the Son
of the Blessed? And Jesus said,
00:06:48.86\00:06:53.42
I am: and ye shall see
the Son of man sitting on the
00:06:53.45\00:06:58.08
right hand of power, and
coming in the clouds of heaven.
00:06:58.11\00:07:01.62
Then the high priest rent his
clothes, and saith, What need we
00:07:01.65\00:07:07.18
any further witnesses? Ye have
heard the blasphemy: what think
00:07:07.21\00:07:11.16
ye? And they all condemned
him to be guilty of death.
00:07:11.19\00:07:15.28
And some began to spit on him,
and to cover his face, and to
00:07:15.31\00:07:19.44
buffet him, and to say unto
him Prophesy: and the servants
00:07:19.47\00:07:22.89
did strike him with the palms
of their hands. And as Peter was
00:07:22.92\00:07:27.19
beneath in the palace,
there cometh one of the maids of
00:07:27.22\00:07:30.33
of the high priest: And when
she saw Peter warming himself,
00:07:30.36\00:07:34.06
she looked upon him and said,
And thou also wast with Jesus
00:07:34.09\00:07:38.79
of Nazareth. But he
denied, saying, I know not,
00:07:38.82\00:07:42.44
neither understand I what thou
sayest. And he went out into
00:07:42.47\00:07:46.92
the porch; and the cock
crew. And a maid saw him again,
00:07:46.95\00:07:51.00
and began to say to them that
stood by, This is one of them.
00:07:51.03\00:07:54.66
And he denied it again. And a
little after, they that stood by
00:07:54.69\00:07:58.91
said again to Peter,
Surely thou art one of them:
00:07:58.94\00:08:01.31
for thou art a Galilean,
and thy speech agreeth thereto.
00:08:01.34\00:08:05.42
But he began to curse and
to swear, saying, I know not
00:08:05.45\00:08:10.00
this man of whom ye
speak. And the second time
00:08:10.03\00:08:13.60
the cock crew. And Peter called
to mind the word that Jesus
00:08:13.63\00:08:18.82
said unto him, Before the cock
crow twice, thou shalt deny me
00:08:18.85\00:08:22.92
thrice. And when he
thought thereon, he wept.
00:08:22.95\00:08:26.52
I'm reading from Mark, chapter
15. And straitway in the morning
00:08:26.55\00:08:32.03
the chief priests held a
consultation with the elders
00:08:32.06\00:08:34.66
and scribes and the
whole council, and bound Jesus,
00:08:34.69\00:08:37.93
and carried him away,
and delivered him to Pilate.
00:08:37.96\00:08:39.99
And pilate asked him, Art
thou the King of the Jews?
00:08:40.02\00:08:43.40
And he answering said unto him,
Thou sayest it. And the chief
00:08:43.43\00:08:48.78
priests accused him of many
things: but he answered nothing.
00:08:48.81\00:08:52.70
And Pilate asked him again,
saying, Answerest thou nothing?
00:08:52.73\00:08:56.85
behold how many things
they witness against thee.
00:08:56.88\00:09:00.14
But Jesus yet answered nothing;
so that Pilate marveled.
00:09:00.17\00:09:05.53
Now at that feast he
released unto them one prisoner,
00:09:05.56\00:09:09.66
whomsoever they desired. And
there was one named Barabbas,
00:09:09.69\00:09:13.26
which lay bound with them that
had made insurrection with him,
00:09:13.29\00:09:16.77
who had committed murder in the
insurrection. And the multitude
00:09:16.80\00:09:20.73
crying aloud began to desire him
to do as he had ever done unto
00:09:20.76\00:09:25.42
them. But Pilate answered them,
saying, Will ye that I release
00:09:25.45\00:09:30.11
unto you the King of the
Jews? For he knew that the chief
00:09:30.14\00:09:33.64
priests had delivered him
for envy. But the chief priests
00:09:33.67\00:09:37.63
moved the people, that he
should rather release Barabbas
00:09:37.66\00:09:41.30
unto them. And Pilate answered
and said again unto them,
00:09:41.33\00:09:44.34
What will y then that I shall do
unto him whom ye call the King
00:09:44.37\00:09:47.56
of the Jews? And they
cried out again, Crucify him.
00:09:47.59\00:09:51.56
Then Pilate said unto them,
Why, what evil hath he done?
00:09:51.59\00:09:56.11
And they cried out the
more exceedingly, Crucify him.
00:09:56.14\00:09:59.88
And so Pilate,
willing to content the people,
00:09:59.91\00:10:03.78
released Barabbas unto
them, and delivered Jesus,
00:10:03.81\00:10:07.33
when he had scourged him, to
be crucified. And the soldiers
00:10:07.36\00:10:11.82
led him away into the
hall, called Praetorium;
00:10:11.85\00:10:15.07
and they call together the whole
band. And they clothed him with
00:10:15.10\00:10:18.12
purple, and platted a crown
of thorns, and put it about
00:10:18.19\00:10:21.64
his head and began to salute
him, Hail, King of the Jews!
00:10:21.67\00:10:25.08
And they smote him on the
head with a reed, and did spit
00:10:25.11\00:10:28.54
upon him, and bowing
their knees worshipped him.
00:10:28.57\00:10:31.48
And when they had mocked
him, they took off the purple
00:10:31.51\00:10:33.91
from him and put his own
clothes on him, and led him out
00:10:33.94\00:10:37.24
to crucify him. And they
compel one Simon a Cyrenian,
00:10:37.27\00:10:42.28
who passed by, coming out of the
country, the father of Alexander
00:10:42.31\00:10:46.04
and Rufus, to bear his cross.
And they bring him unto the
00:10:46.07\00:10:49.61
place Golgotha which is, being
interpreted The place of a skull
00:10:49.64\00:10:54.34
and they gave him to
drink wine mingled with myrrh:
00:10:54.37\00:10:57.57
but he received it not. And
when they had crucified him,
00:10:57.60\00:11:01.26
they parted his garments,
casting lots upon them,
00:11:01.29\00:11:04.31
what every man should
take. And it was the third hour,
00:11:04.34\00:11:07.82
and they crucified him. And the
superscription of his accusation
00:11:07.85\00:11:11.84
was written over,
THE KING OF THE JEWS.
00:11:11.87\00:11:14.24
And with him they crucify two
thieves; the one on his right
00:11:14.27\00:11:18.41
hand and the other on his
left. And the scripture was
00:11:18.44\00:11:21.55
fulfilled, which saith,
And he was numbered with the
00:11:21.58\00:11:24.55
transgressors. And they
that passed by railed on him,
00:11:24.58\00:11:29.15
wagging their heads, and
saying, Ah, thou that destroyest
00:11:29.18\00:11:32.48
the temple and buildest it
in three days, Save thyself,
00:11:32.51\00:11:35.52
and come down from the cross.
Likewise also the chief priests
00:11:35.55\00:11:39.97
mocking said among
themselves with the scribes,
00:11:40.00\00:11:42.82
He saved others; himself he
cannot save. Let Christ the King
00:11:42.85\00:11:47.74
of Israel descend now
from the cross, that we may see
00:11:47.77\00:11:50.49
and believe. And they that were
crucified with him reviled him.
00:11:50.52\00:11:54.76
And when the sixth hour
was come, there was darkness
00:11:54.79\00:11:57.94
over the whole land until the
ninth hour. And at the 9th hour
00:11:57.97\00:12:02.38
Jesus cried with a loud
voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi,
00:12:02.41\00:12:06.82
lama sabachthani?
which is, being interpreted,
00:12:06.85\00:12:10.29
My God, my God, why
hast thou forsaken me?
00:12:10.32\00:12:14.27
And some of them that stood by,
when they heard it, said, Behold
00:12:14.30\00:12:18.77
he calleth Elias. And one
ran and filled a sponge full of
00:12:18.80\00:12:22.48
vinegar, and put it on a reed,
and gave him to drink, saying,
00:12:22.51\00:12:25.09
Let alone; let us see whether
Elias will come to take him down
00:12:25.12\00:12:28.60
and Jesus cried with a loud
voice, and gave up the ghost.
00:12:28.63\00:12:33.37
And the veil of the temple
was rent in twain from the top
00:12:33.40\00:12:38.06
to the bottom. And when
the centurion, which stood over
00:12:38.09\00:12:42.18
against him, saw that he so
cried out and gave up the ghost,
00:12:42.21\00:12:45.89
he said, Truly this
man was the Son of God.
00:12:45.92\00:12:50.33
There were also women looking
on afar off: among whom was
00:12:50.36\00:12:55.25
Mary Magdalene, and Mary
the mother of James the less
00:12:55.28\00:12:58.52
and of Joses, and Salome; who
also, when he was in Galilee,
00:12:58.55\00:13:02.86
followed him, and ministered
unto him; and many other women
00:13:02.89\00:13:06.30
which came up with him
unto Jerusalem. And now when the
00:13:06.33\00:13:10.20
even was come, because it
was the preparation, that is,
00:13:10.23\00:13:13.72
the day before the
Sabbath, Joseph of Arimathea,
00:13:13.75\00:13:17.94
an honorable counselor, which
also waited for the kingdom
00:13:17.97\00:13:21.26
of God, came, and went in
boldly unto Pilate, and craved
00:13:21.29\00:13:25.53
the body of Jesus. And Pilate
marveled if he were already
00:13:25.56\00:13:29.58
dead: and calling unto him the
centurion, he asked him whether
00:13:29.61\00:13:33.14
he had been any while
dead. And when he knew it of the
00:13:33.17\00:13:36.95
centurion, he gave the body to
Joseph. And he bought fine linen
00:13:36.98\00:13:41.31
and took him down, and wrapped
him in the linen, and laid him
00:13:41.34\00:13:45.01
in a sepulcher which was hewn
out of a rock and rolled a stone
00:13:45.04\00:13:48.75
unto the door of the sepulcher.
And Mary Magdalene and Mary
00:13:48.78\00:13:51.94
the mother of Joses
beheld where he was laid.
00:13:51.97\00:13:55.45
I'm reading in the book
of Mark, chapter sixteen.
00:13:55.48\00:13:58.99
And when the Sabbath was past,
Mary Magdalene, and Mary the
00:13:59.02\00:14:03.57
mother of James, and
Salome, had bought sweet spices,
00:14:03.60\00:14:07.15
that they might come and
anoint him. And very early
00:14:07.18\00:14:11.59
in the morning the first day
of the week, they came unto the
00:14:11.62\00:14:14.48
sepulcher at the rising of
the sun. And they said among
00:14:14.51\00:14:18.14
themselves, Who shall roll
us away the stone from the door
00:14:18.17\00:14:21.52
of the sepulcher? And when they
looked, they saw that the stone
00:14:21.55\00:14:25.94
was rolled away:
for it was very great.
00:14:25.97\00:14:28.53
Thank you for joining me today
for the reading of His word.
00:14:28.56\00:14:32.80
Bye, bye.
