The Bible, Douay-Rheims, Book 48: Mark: The Challoner Revision
Bible. Mark
4:29. And when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the
sickle, because the harvest is come.
4:30. And he said: To what shall we liken the kingdom of God? or to what
parable shall we compare it?
4:31. It is as a grain of mustard seed: which when it is sown in the
earth, is less than all the seeds that are in the earth:
4:32. And when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all
herbs, and shooteth out great branches, so that the birds of the air may
dwell under the shadow thereof.
4:33. And with many such parables, he spoke to them the word, according
as they were able to hear.
4:34. And without parable he did not speak unto them; but apart, he
explained all things to his disciples.
4:35. And he saith to them that day, when evening was come: Let us pass
over to the other side.
4:36. And sending away the multitude, they take him even as he was in
the ship: and there were other ships with him.
4:37. And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the
ship, so that the ship was filled.
4:38. And he was in the hinder part of the ship, sleeping upon a pillow;
and they awake him, and say to him: Master, doth, it not concern thee
that we perish?
4:39. And rising up, he rebuked the wind, and said to the sea: Peace, be
still. And the wind ceased: and there was made a great calm.
4:40. And he said to them: Why are you fearful? have you not faith yet?
And they feared exceedingly: and they said one to another: Who is this
(thinkest thou) that both wind and sea obey him?
Mark Chapter 5
Christ casts out a legion of devils: he heals the issue of blood, and
raises the daughter of Jairus to life.
5:1. And they came over the strait of the sea, into the country of the
Gerasens.
5:2. And as he went out of the ship, immediately there met him out of
the monuments a man with an unclean spirit,
5:3. Who had his dwelling in the tombs, and no man now could bind him,
not even with chains.
5:4. For having been often bound with fetters and chains, he had burst
the chains, and broken the fetters in pieces, and no one could tame him.
5:5. And he was always day and night in the monuments and in the
mountains, crying and cutting himself with stones.
5:6. And seeing Jesus afar off, he ran and adored him.
5:7. And crying with a loud voice, he said: What have I to do with thee,
Jesus the Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God that thou
torment me not.
5:8. For he said unto him: Go out of the man, thou unclean spirit.
5:9. And he asked him: What is thy name? And he saith to him: My name is
Legion, for we are many.
5:10. And he besought him much, that he would not drive him away out of
the country.
5:11. And there was there near the mountain a great herd of swine,
feeding.
5:12. And the spirits besought him, saying: Send us into the swine, that
we may enter into them.
