John

Now Absalom had commanded his servants, saying, Mark ye now when Amnon's heart is merry with wine, and when I say unto you, Smite Amnon; then kill him, fear not: have not I commanded you? be courageous, and be valiant.

Then the king of Israel called all the elders of the land, and said, Mark, I pray you, and see how this man seeketh mischief: for he sent unto me for my wives, and for my children, and for my silver, and for my gold; and I denied him not.

Mark me, and be astonished, and lay your hand upon your mouth.

Mark well, O Job, hearken unto me: hold thy peace, and I will speak.

Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace.

Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her palaces; that ye may tell it to the generation following.

And when he had considered the thing, he came to the house of Mary the mother of John, whose surname was Mark; where many were gathered together praying.

And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, when they had fulfilled their ministry, and took with them John, whose surname was Mark.

And when they were at Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews: and they had also John to their minister.

Now when Paul and his company loosed from Paphos, they came to Perga in Pamphylia: and John departing from them returned to Jerusalem.

And Barnabas determined to take with them John, whose surname was Mark.

And the contention was so sharp between them, that they departed asunder one from the other: and so Barnabas took Mark, and sailed unto Cyprus;

Aristarchus my fellowprisoner saluteth you, and Marcus, sister's son to Barnabas, (touching whom ye received commandments: if he come unto you, receive him;)

Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is profitable to me for the ministry.

Marcus, Aristarchus, Demas, Lucas, my fellowlabourers.

The church that is at Babylon, elected together with you, saluteth you; and so doth Marcus my son.
