   Bible Reading for October 15   
      
   Mark Chapter 1   
      
   1 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God;   
      
   2 As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before   
   thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.   
      
   3 The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the   
   Lord, make his paths straight.   
      
   4 John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of   
   repentance for the remission of sins.   
      
   5 And there went out unto him all the land of Judaea, and they of   
   Jerusalem, and were all baptized of him in the river of Jordan,   
   confessing their sins.   
      
   6 And John was clothed with camel's hair, and with a girdle of a skin   
   about his loins; and he did eat locusts and wild honey;   
      
   7 And preached, saying, There cometh one mightier than I after me, the   
   latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose.   
      
   8 I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with   
   the Holy Ghost.   
      
   9 And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of   
   Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan.   
      
   10 And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens   
   opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him:   
      
   11 And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son,   
   in whom I am well pleased.   
      
   12 And immediately the Spirit driveth him into the wilderness.   
      
   13 And he was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted of Satan; and   
   was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto him.   
      
   14 Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee,   
   preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,   
      
   15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand:   
   repent ye, and believe the gospel.   
      
   16 Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his   
   brother casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.   
      
   17 And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to   
   become fishers of men.   
      
   18 And straightway they forsook their nets, and followed him.   
      
   19 And when he had gone a little further thence, he saw James the son of   
   Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the ship mending their nets.   
      
   20 And straightway he called them: and they left their father Zebedee in   
   the ship with the hired servants, and went after him.   
      
   21 And they went into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath day he   
   entered into the synagogue, and taught.   
      
   22 And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as one   
   that had authority, and not as the scribes.   
      
   23 And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he   
   cried out,   
      
   24 Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of   
   Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the   
   Holy One of God.   
      
   25 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him.   
      
   26 And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud   
   voice, he came out of him.   
      
   27 And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among   
   themselves, saying, What thing is this? what new doctrine is this? for   
   with authority commandeth he even the unclean spirits, and they do obey him.   
      
   28 And immediately his fame spread abroad throughout all the region   
   round about Galilee.   
      
   29 And forthwith, when they were come out of the synagogue, they entered   
   into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.   
      
   30 But Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever, and anon they tell him   
   of her.   
      
   31 And he came and took her by the hand, and lifted her up; and   
   immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them.   
      
   32 And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all that   
   were diseased, and them that were possessed with devils.   
      
   33 And all the city was gathered together at the door.   
      
   34 And he healed many that were sick of divers diseases, and cast out   
   many devils; and suffered not the devils to speak, because they knew him.   
      
   35 And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out,   
   and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.   
      
   36 And Simon and they that were with him followed after him.   
      
   37 And when they had found him, they said unto him, All men seek for thee.   
      
   38 And he said unto them, Let us go into the next towns, that I may   
   preach there also: for therefore came I forth.   
      
   39 And he preached in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and cast   
   out devils.   
      
   40 And there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeling down to   
   him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.   
      
   41 And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched   
   him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean.   
      
   42 And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from   
   him, and he was cleansed.   
      
   43 And he straitly charged him, and forthwith sent him away;   
      
   44 And saith unto him, See thou say nothing to any man: but go thy way,   
   shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing those things   
   which Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.   
      
   45 But he went out, and began to publish it much, and to blaze abroad   
   the matter, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly enter into the   
   city, but was without in desert places: and they came to him from every   
   quarter.   
      
   Mark Chapter 2   
      
   1 And again he entered into Capernaum after some days; and it was noised   
   that he was in the house.   
      
   2 And straightway many were gathered together, insomuch that there was   
   no room to receive them, no, not so much as about the door: and he   
   preached the word unto them.   
      
   3 And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was   
   borne of four.   
      
   4 And when they could not come nigh unto him for the press, they   
   uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they   
   let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay.   
      
   5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son,   
   thy sins be forgiven thee.   
      
   6 But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in   
   their hearts,   
      
   7 Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God   
   only?   
      
   8 And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so   
   reasoned within themselves, he said unto them, Why reason ye these   
   things in your hearts?   
      
   9 Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be   
   forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk?   
      
   10 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to   
   forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,)   
      
   11 I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into   
   thine house.   
      
   12 And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them   
   all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We   
   never saw it on this fashion.   
      
   13 And he went forth again by the sea side; and all the multitude   
   resorted unto him, and he taught them.   
      
   14 And as he passed by, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the
