    About this ebook

    The Open Bible Gospel of Mark is a translation of the New Testament Book of Matthew in simple English that is easy to understand. It is produced to enable anyone to use as freely as they wish, to create video and audio recordings etc. Mark is the second Gospel and book of the New Testament, presenting short snapshots from the life and ministry of Jesus. This book like Matthew before it, the first Gospel (and like the remaining two Gospels) is a mixture of miracles and wise teachings from Jesus. Concerning miracles, among many others it includes the accounts of the feeding of the five thousand (Mark 6) closely followed by the feeding of the seven thousand (Mark 8), Jesus calming the storm (Mark 4) and Jesus walking on water (Mark 6). Concerning wise teachings, it has Mark's own version of the parable of the sower (Mark 4) as well as the teaching about rich people finding it hard to enter Heaven (Mark 10). It also includes the account of Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem followed by His entering the Temple and driving out the moneychangers and Temple merchants (Mark 11). As with the other three Gospels it ends with an account of the crucifixion and miraculous resurrection of Jesus from the dead, and His instructions to His disciples to preach the Good News about Him and His Kingdom (Mark 16).

      Mark 1

      1. The beginning of the Good News of Jesus Christ the Son of God.

      2. As it is written in the prophet Isaiah:

      "Look I send My messenger before Your face

      who will prepare the way for You."

      3. A voice crying out in the desert:

      "Prepare the way for the Lord

      Make the paths straight for Him!"

      4. John the Baptist was in the desert and he preached the baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.

      5. And all the country of Judea went out to him and all the people of Jerusalem, and they were baptised by him in the Jordan river confessing their sins.

      6. And John wore clothes of camel hair and a leather belt around his waist and he ate locusts and wild honey.

      7. And he preached saying:

      "Someone greater than me is coming after me, and I am not worthy to stoop down to loosen the strap of His sandals.

      8. For I baptise you with water, He will baptise you in the Holy Spirit."

      9. And it happened in those days that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptised by John in the Jordan.

      10. And immediately coming up from the water He saw the heavens parting and the Spirit came down upon Him like a dove.

      11. And a voice came from heaven:

      This is My beloved Son, He greatly pleases Me.

      12. And immediately the Spirit drove Him into the wilderness.

      13. And He was in the wilderness for forty days being tempted by Satan, and He was with the wild animals, and the angels ministered to Him.

      14. After John was delivered up, Jesus came into Galilee preaching the Good News of God

      15. and saying:

      The time is fulfilled and the Kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe in the Good News.

      16. And walking by the sea of Galilee He saw Simon and Andrew the brother of Simon casting a net into the sea. For they were fishermen.

      17. And Jesus said to them:

      Follow after Me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.

      18. And immediately they left their nets and followed Him.

      19. And going forward a little distance He saw James the son of Zebedee and John his brother mending their nets in the boat,

      20. and immediately He called them. And they left Zebedee their father in the boat with the hired servants and they followed behind Him.

      21. And they entered into Capernaum. And immediately on the Sabbaths He went into the synagogues and taught.

      22. And they were all amazed by His teaching. For He taught them as one who had power and not as the Scribes.

      23. And immediately there was in their synagogue a man who had an unclean spirit and he cried out

      24. saying:

      What do I have to do with You, Jesus of Nazareth? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are, the holy One of God!

      25. And Jesus rebuked him saying:

      Be quiet, and come out from him!

      26. And the unclean spirit convulsed him and cried out with a loud cry and came out of him.

      27. And they were all amazed so that they questioned among themselves asking:

      What is this? A new teaching with authority? For He commands the evil spirits and they obey Him!

      28. And the news about Him immediately went out everywhere into all the regions surrounding Galilee.

      29. And immediately they went out of the Synagogue and He went into the house of
