John

Now had Absalom commanded his seruants, saying, Marke now when Amnons heart is merry with wine, and when I say vnto you, Smite Amnon, kill him, feare not, for haue not I commanded you? be bold therefore, and play the men.

Then the King of Israel sent for all the Elders of the land, and sayd, Take heede, I pray you, and see how he seeketh mischiefe: for he sent vnto me for my wiues, and for my children, and for my siluer, and for my golde, and I denyed him not.

Marke mee, and be abashed, and lay your hand vpon your mouth.

Marke well, O Iob, and heare me: keepe silence, and I will speake.

Marke the vpright man, and beholde the iust: for the end of that man is peace.

Marke well the wall thereof: beholde her towres, that ye may tell your posteritie.

And as he considered the thing, he came to the house of Marie, the mother of Iohn, whose surname was Marke, where many were gathered together, and prayed.

So Barnabas and Saul returned from Hierusalem, when they had fulfilled their office, and tooke with them Iohn, whose surname was Marke.

And when they were at Salamis, they preached the worde of God in the Synagogues of the Iewes: and they had also Iohn to their minister.

Nowe when Paul and they that were with him were departed by shippe from Paphus, they came to Perga a citie of Pamphylia: then Iohn departed from them, and returned to Hierusalem.

And Barnabas counselled to take with them Iohn, called Marke.

Then were they so stirred, that they departed asunder one from the other, so that Barnabas tooke Marke, and sailed vnto Cyprus.

Aristarchus my prison fellow saluteth you, and Marcus, Barnabas cousin (touching whom ye receiued commandements. If he come vnto you, receiue him)

Onely Luke is with me. Take Marke and bring him with thee: for he is profitable vnto me to minister.

Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas and Luke, my felowe helpers.

The Church that is at Babylon elected together with you, saluteth you, and Marcus my sonne.
