Saint Mark the Evangelist

5In like manner, ye young men, be subject to the ancients. And do you all insinuate humility one to another, for God resisteth the proud, but to the humble he giveth grace. 6Be you humbled therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in the time of visitation: 7Casting all your care upon him, for he hath care of you. 8Be sober and watch: because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, goeth about seeking whom he may devour. 9Whom resist ye, strong in faith: knowing that the same affliction befalls your brethren who are in the world. 10But the God of all grace, who hath called us into his eternal glory in Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a little, will himself perfect you, and confirm you, and establish you. 11To him be glory and empire for ever and ever. Amen. 12By Sylvanus, a faithful brother unto you, as I think, I have written briefly: beseeching and testifying that this is the true grace of God, wherein you stand. 13The church that is in Babylon, elected together with you, saluteth you: and so doth my son Mark. 14Salute one another with a holy kiss. Grace be to all you, who are in Christ Jesus. Amen.

2The mercies of the Lord I will sing for ever. I will shew forth thy truth with my mouth to generation and generation.

3For thou hast said: Mercy shall be built up for ever in the heavens: thy truth shall be prepared in them.

…

6The heavens shall confess thy wonders, O Lord: and thy truth in the church of the saints.

7For who in the clouds can be compared to the Lord: or who among the sons of God shall be like to God?

…

16Blessed is the people that knoweth jubilation. They shall walk, O Lord, in the light of thy countenance:

17And in thy name they shall rejoice all the day, and in thy justice they shall be exalted.

15And he said to them: Go ye into the whole world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16He that believeth and is baptized, shall be saved: but he that believeth not shall be condemned. 17And these signs shall follow them that believe: In my name they shall cast out devils: they shall speak with new tongues. 18They shall take up serpents; and if they shall drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them: they shall lay their hands upon the sick, and they shall recover. 19And the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God. 20But they going forth preached every where: the Lord working withal, and confirming the word with signs that followed.
