1 MARK 1 JOHN THE BAPTIST PREPARES THE WAY FOR JESUS 1 The beginning of the gospel (Tidings) of Jesus Christ, the Son of God; (The Bible tells us 7 I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. Psalm 2:7) (The Bible tells us 3 In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea (not Palestine), 2 And saying, Repent ye (If don t repent; no kingdom for you.): for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. 3 For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. 4 And the same John had his raiment of camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey. 5 Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the region round about Jordan, 6 And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins. Matthew 3: I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance. but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire: Matthew 3:11) (The Bible tells us 45 And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord. 46 And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, 47 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. 48 For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed (Blessed Mary: not a Catholic name.) 49 For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name. 50 And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation (To those who love and keep my law.). Luke 1:45-50) (The Bible tells us (John was 30 years old) 3 Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene, 2 Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness (They rotated, one was son in law and one in Father of the Law.) 3 And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins (Baptism was for cleansing as going through the Red Sea (physical) put on a clean garment; this one spiritual. Preparing the people for the spiritual relationship with God.); 4 As it is written in the book of the words of Esaias the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. 5 Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth; 6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God. Luke 3: John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I

2 am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire: Luke 3:16) (The Bible tells us 34 And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God. John 1:34) (The Bible tells us 3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: 4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Romans 8:3-4) (The Bible tells us 15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. I John 4:15) 2 As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. (The Bible tells us 15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. Isaiah 40:1) (The Bible tells us 3 Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the LORD, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts. Malachi 3:1) (The Bible tells us 23 He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias. John 1:23) 3 The voice of one crying in the wilderness (Didn t come from a great university.), 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 (One who is approved by God not have to be from a university.). (Can t begin a relationship with Christ still in sin.) (The Bible tells us 4 The said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus. Acts 19:4) 5 And there went out unto him all the land of Judaea (not Palestine), and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized of him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins (Majority). 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; (The Bible tells us 22 Even these of them ye may eat; the locust after his kind, and the bald locust after his kind, and the beetle after his kind, and the grasshopper after his kind. Leviticus 11:22) 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 (Preparing the way for Christ; very humble; God always went to the wilderness to purify and cleanse; brought Israel out of sin to the wilderness and Jesus went there to pray etc.). (The Bible tells us 15 John bare witness of him, and cried, saying,

3 This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me. John 1:15) 8 I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost (spirit). (Symbolic of the baptism when the Israelites went through the Red Sea.) JOHN BAPTISES JESUS 9 And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan. (The Bible tells us 3 The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. (Describes the way the prophets came to the people-humble; what was important was the message.). 4 And the same John had his raiment of camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey. 5 Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the region round about Jordan (God was calling them to repentance and they responded. (Process for baptism-must do your homework and recognize we were a again God-do not play games; God s spirit cannot dwell in us.), 6 And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins. 7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? 8 Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance (worthy) (There were teachers in the Law of God and they wanted to like the others that were coming for baptism.): 9 And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father (He can t help.): for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. 10 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire (Always same story from the beginning.). 11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance (Moses). but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire (Trials of life to see if you will obey Him or not; test us to see if we are true unto death.): 12 Whose fan (Christ) is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire. 13 Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him (of John the Baptist.). 14 But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me? 15 And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer (permit) it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him. 16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him (didn t mention the 3 rd member of the trinity.): 17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I

4 am well pleased. MATTHEW 3:3-17) (The Bible tells us 21 Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened, 22 And the Holy Ghost (spirit) descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased. Luke 3:21-22) (The Bible tells us 32 And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him. 33 And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost (spirit). 34 And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God. John 1:32-34) 10 3 The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. 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. SATAN TEMPS JESUS IN 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. (The Bible tells us 4 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil (Immediately after baptism went to the wilderness; went through fire just like He said He would be. He too in the flesh had to overcome the Devil and we must too.). 2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred (To be totally pure like Moses (we should too) and filled with the power of God.). 3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread (Jesus answered and said, if thou be the Son of God, command these stones be made bread.). 4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. 5 Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple, 6 And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. 7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. 8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; 9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. 10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him

5 only shalt thou serve. 11 Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him (Probably cradled His head and gave Him food and nursed Him back to strength; had qualified to be the Kings of Kings of and Lord of Lords and disqualified Satan.) Matthew 4:1-11) JESUS MINISTRY IN GALILEE 14 Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, (The Bible tells us 12 Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, he departed into Galilee; Matthew 4:12) (If one hasn t read the prophets-wouldn t know what Kingdom is.) The Bible tells us 23 And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised again. And they were exceeding sorry. Matthew 17:23) (A time when Christ will marry His people and preparing the earth for the Heavenly Jerusalem.) The Bible tells us 14 And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about. 15 And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all (On the Sabbath and read the Law of God. Read Isaiah 61, 62, 63, 64) Luke 4:14-15). 15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel (GOOD NEWS) (A time when Christ will marry His people and preparing for the Heavenly Jerusalem; believe that the Kingdom is coming.). (Bring at hand won t mean anything without repentance.) (The Bible tells us 44 And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever. Daniel 2:44) (The Bible tells us 24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy. 25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times. Daniel 9:24-25) (The Bible tells us 5 To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. Why 5 To redeem them that were under the law (House of Judah.), that we might receive the adoption of sons (literal Sonship). 6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son (A real son; not adopted.) into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. Galatians 4:4-6 (The Father puts His spirit in us and Christ puts His spirit in us-just like Mother and Father.) Galatians 4:4-6)

6 FOUR FISHERMEN FOLLOW JESUS 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. (Doesn t mean it was the first time he had seen these two.) The Bible tells us 18 And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers. 19 And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. 20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed him. 21 And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them. 22 And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him. Matthew 4:18-22) (The Bible tells us 5 And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret, 2 And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets. 3 And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon's, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship. 4 Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught. 5 And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net. 6 And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake. 7 And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink (He recognized His spiritual weakness from genuine faith.). 8 When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord. 9 For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken: 10 And so was also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men (He would change profession here.). 11 And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and followed him (They have total faith and understanding and follow Him-left homes, business etc.). Luke 5:1-11) 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 farther thence, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the ship mending their nets (A fishing town.).

7 20 And straightway he called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the ship (boat) with the hired servants, and went after him (People He had talked to and known.). JESUS TEACHES WITH GREAT AUTHORITY 21 And they went into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath day (NOT Sunday) he entered into the synagogue, and taught. (Only day He worshipped God in the Temple; Saturday and Holy Days.) 22 And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes. (Prophets as one having authority because God had placed His spirit in them.) 23 And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out (Right in the synagogue and still do today.), 24 Saying, Let us alone (Many times many demons can occupy one person.); 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. (The Bible tells us 29 And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? Art thou come hither to torment us before the time? Matthew 8:29) (The Bible tells us 69 And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God. John 6:69) (The Bible tells us 14 But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you; 15 And killed the Prince of life, whom God hath raised from the dead; whereof we are witnesses. Acts 3:14-15) (The Bible tells us 19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. James 2:19) 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. (The Bible tells us 20 And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him, straightway the spirit tare him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming. Mark 9:20) 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. (Why shouldn t they-jesus is the boss.) 28 And immediately his fame spread abroad throughout all the region round about Galilee.

8 JESUS HEALS PETER S MOTER-IN-LAW AND MANY OTHERS 29 And forthwith, when they were come out of the synagogue, they entered into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. (The Bible tells us 14 And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother laid, and sick of a fever. 15 And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them. 16 When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick: 17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses. Matthew 8:14-17) (The Bible tells us 1 8 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, 19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. 20 And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him. 21 And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears. 22 And all bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this Joseph's son? 23 And he said unto them, Ye will surely say unto me this proverb, Physician, heal thyself: whatsoever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in thy country. 24 And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own country. 25 But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land; 26 But unto none of them was Elias sent, save unto Sarepta, a city of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow. 27 And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian. 28 And all they in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath, 29 And rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might cast him down headlong. 30 But he passing through the midst of them went his way, 31 And came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them on the sabbath days. Luke 4:18-31) 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 (After the Sabbath), they brought unto him all that were diseased, and them that were possessed with devils. (The Bible tells us 16 When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and

9 healed all that were sick: 17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses. Matthew 8:16-17) (The Bible tells us 40 Now when the sun was setting, all they that had any sick with divers diseases brought them unto him; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them. 41 And devils also came out of many, crying out, and saying, Thou art Christ the Son of God. And he rebuking them suffered them not to speak: for they knew that he was Christ. Luke 4:40-41) 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. (The Bible tells us 12 And he straitly charged them that they should not make him known. Mark 3:12) (The Bible tells us 16 And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying: 17 The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, which shew unto us the way of salvation. Acts 16:16-17) (The Bible tells us 12 And he straitly charged them that they should not make him known. Mark 3:12) (The Bible tells us 16 And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying: 17 The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, which shew unto us the way of salvation. Acts 16:16-17) JESUS PREACHES THROUGHOUT GALILEE 35 And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed. (Total privacy) (The Bible tells us 42 And when it was day, he departed and went into a desert place: and the people sought him, and came unto him, and stayed him, that he should not depart from them (He had brought so much and done so much for them.). 43 And he said unto them, I must preach the kingdom of God to other cities also: for therefore am I sent. 44 And he preached in the synagogues of Galilee. Luke 4:42-44) (The Bible tells us 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. Mark 1:35-39) (The Bible tells us 7 Who in the days of his

10 flesh (Christ), when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared (Godly fear.); 8 Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered (obey unto death-why very few make it); Hebrews 5:7-8) 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. (That was His message to bring the message to His people.) (The Bible tells us 61 The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; Isaiah 61:1) 39 And he preached in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and cast out devils (Only day was Saturday; the Temple was open everyday but only in the morning and evening sacrifices.). (The Bible tells us 23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people. Matthew 4:23) JESUS HEALS A MAN WITH LEPROSY 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. (The Bible tells us 17 Ah Lord GOD! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee: 18 Thou shewest lovingkindness unto thousands, and recompensest the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them: the Great, the Mighty God, the LORD of hosts, is his name, Jeremiah 32:17-18) (The Bible tells us 2 And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. 3 And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed. 4 And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them. Matthew 8:2-4) 41 And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean. (The Bible tells us 17 Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people. Hebrews 2:17) (The Bible tells us 15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the

11 feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Hebrews 4:15) 42 And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed. (His word is spirit-power.) 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. (Didn t say forget the law of Moses.) (The Bible tells us 14 And the LORD (Jesus) spake unto Moses, saying, 2 This shall be the law of the leper in the day of his cleansing: He shall be brought unto the priest: 3 And the priest shall go forth out of the camp; and the priest shall look, and, behold, if the plague of leprosy be healed in the leper; 4 Then shall the priest command to take for him that is to be cleansed two birds alive and clean, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop: 5 And the priest shall command that one of the birds be killed in an earthen vessel over running water: 6 As for the living bird, he shall take it, and the cedar wood, and the scarlet, and the hyssop, and shall dip them and the living bird in the blood of the bird that was killed over the running water: 7 And he shall sprinkle upon him that is to be cleansed from the leprosy seven times, and shall pronounce him clean, and shall let the living bird loose into the open field. 8 And he that is to be cleansed shall wash his clothes, and shave off all his hair, and wash himself in water, that he may be clean: and after that he shall come into the camp, and shall tarry abroad out of his tent seven days. 9 But it shall be on the seventh day, that he shall shave all his hair off his head and his beard and his eyebrows, even all his hair he shall shave off: and he shall wash his clothes, also he shall wash his flesh in water, and he shall be clean. 10 And on the eighth day he shall take two he lambs without blemish, and one ewe lamb of the first year without blemish, and three tenth deals of fine flour for a meat offering, mingled with oil, and one log of oil. 11 And the priest that maketh him clean shall present the man that is to be made clean, and those things, before the LORD, at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: 12 And the priest shall take one he lamb, and offer him for a trespass offering, and the log of oil, and wave them for a wave offering before the LORD: 13 And he shall slay the lamb in the place where he shall kill the sin offering and the burnt offering, in the holy place: for as the sin offering is the priest's, so is the trespass offering: it is most holy: 14 And the priest shall take some of the blood of the trespass offering, and the priest shall put it upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot: 15 And the priest shall take some of the log of oil, and pour it into the palm of his own left hand: 16 And the priest shall dip his right finger in the oil that is in his left hand, and shall sprinkle of the oil with his finger seven times before the LORD: 17 And of the rest of the oil that is in his hand shall the priest put upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot, upon the blood of the trespass offering: 18 And the remnant of the oil that is in the priest's hand he shall pour upon the head of him that is to be cleansed: and the priest shall make an atonement for him before the LORD. 19 And the priest shall offer the sin offering, and make an atonement for him that is to be cleansed from his uncleanness; and afterward he shall kill the burnt offering: 20 And the priest shall offer the burnt offering

12 and the meat offering upon the altar: and the priest shall make an atonement for him, and he shall be clean. 21 And if he be poor, and cannot get so much; then he shall take one lamb for a trespass offering to be waved, to make an atonement for him, and one tenth deal of fine flour mingled with oil for a meat offering, and a log of oil; 22 And two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, such as he is able to get; and the one shall be a sin offering, and the other a burnt offering. 23 And he shall bring them on the eighth day for his cleansing unto the priest, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, before the LORD. 24 And the priest shall take the lamb of the trespass offering, and the log of oil, and the priest shall wave them for a wave offering before the LORD: 25 And he shall kill the lamb of the trespass offering, and the priest shall take some of the blood of the trespass offering, and put it upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot: 26 And the priest shall pour of the oil into the palm of his own left hand: 27 And the priest shall sprinkle with his right finger some of the oil that is in his left hand seven times before the LORD: 28 And the priest shall put of the oil that is in his hand upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot, upon the place of the blood of the trespass offering: 29 And the rest of the oil that is in the priest's hand he shall put upon the head of him that is to be cleansed, to make an atonement for him before the LORD. 30 And he shall offer the one of the turtledoves, or of the young pigeons, such as he can get; 31 Even such as he is able to get, the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, with the meat offering: and the priest shall make an atonement for him that is to be cleansed before the LORD. 32 This is the law of him in whom is the plague of leprosy, whose hand is not able to get that which pertaineth to his cleansing. Leviticus 14:1-32) 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 (Even though warned not to do it not say a wordk to anyone and this why. When we disobey God we are a rebel, wicked, lawless.). (The Bible tell us 7 But Jesus withdrew himself with his disciples to the sea: and a great multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judaea, Mark 3:7) (The Bible tells us 31 And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while: for there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat. 32 And they departed into a desert place by ship privately. 33 And the people saw them departing, and many knew him, and ran afoot thither out of all cities, and outwent them, and came together unto him. 34 And Jesus, when he came out, saw much people, and was moved with compassion toward them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd: and he began to teach them many things. Mark 6:31-34) MEMORY VERSE: AND THERE CAME A VOICE FROM HEAVEN, SAYING, THOU ART MY BELOVED SON, IN WHOM I AM WELL PLEASED. MARK 1:11 BELOW IS THE SABBATH SCHOOL LESSON FOR TOTS

13 JOHN BAPTISES JESUS AND IT CAME TO PASS IN THOSE DAYS, THAT JESUS CAME FROM NAZARETH OF GALILEE, AND WAS BAPTIZED OF JOHN IN THE JORDAN. THE VOICE OF HIM THAT CRIETH IN THE WILDERNESS, PREPARE YE THE WAY OF THE LORD, MAKE STRAIGHT IN THE DESERT A HIGHWAY FOR OUR GOD. AND THE SAME JOHN HAD HIS RAIMENT OF CAMEL S HAIR, AND LEATHERN GIRDLE ABOUT HIS LOINS; AND HIS MEAT WAS LOCUSTS AND WILD HONEY. THEN WENT OUT TO HIM JERUSALEM, AND ALL JUDEA, AND ALL THE REGION ROUND ABOUT JORDAN AND THEY RESPONDED. (GOD WAS CALLING THEM TO REPENTANCE AND THEY RESPONDED.) AND WERE BAPTIZED OF HIM IN THE JORDAN, CONFESSING THEIR SINS. BUT WHEN HE SAW MANY OF THE PHARISEES AND SADDUCEES COME TO HIS BAPTISM, HE SAID UNTO THEM, O GEERATION OF VIPERS WHO HATH WARNED YOU TO FLEE FROM THE THE WRATH TO COME?

14 I INDEED BAPTIZE YOU WITH WATER UNTO REPENTANCE. BUT HE THAT COMETH AFTER ME IS MIGHTIER THAN I, WHOSE SHOES I AM NOT WORTHY TO BEAR: HE SHALL BAPTIZE YOU WITH THE HOLY GHOST (SPIRIT), AND WITH FIRE. AND THERE CAME A VOICE FROM HEAVEN, SAYING, THOU ART MY BELOVED SON, IN WHOM I AM WELL PLEASED. AND IMMEDIATELY THE SPIRIT DRIVETH HIM INTO THE WILDERNESS. AND STRAIGHWAY COMING UP OUT OF THE WATER, HE SAW THE HEAVENS OPENED, AND THE SPIRIT OF LIKE A DOVE DESENDING UPON HIM: (THE POWER OF GOD DESCENDING IN THE SHAPE OF A DOVE.) AND THERE WAS A VOICE FROM HEAVEN (GOD THE FATHER) SAYING, THOU ART MY BELOVED SON, IN WHOM I AM WELL PLEASED.

15 JOHN BAPTISES JESUS AND STRAITHWAY COMING UP OUT OF THE WATER HE SAW THE HEAVENS OPENED, AND THE SPIRIT LIKE A DOVE DESENDING UPON HIM (The power of God in The shape of a dove.) AND THERE A VOICE FROM HEAVEN (God the father) SAYING, THOU ART MY BELOVED SON, IN WHOM I AM WELL PLEASED. MARK 10-11
