The Kyle File

1 And when the Sabbath day was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, bought sweet ointments, that they might come and anoint him.
2 Therefore early in the morning, the first day of the week, they came to the tomb, when the Sun was now risen.
3 And they said one to another, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the tomb?
4 And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away (for it was a very great one)
5 So they went into the tomb, and saw a young man sitting at the right side, clothed in a long white robe: and they were greatly troubled.
6 But he said to them, “Do not be so troubled: you seek Jesus of Nazareth, who has been crucified: he is risen, he is not here: behold the place where they put him.
7 But go your way, and tell his disciples, and Peter, that he will go before you into Galilee: there you shall see him, as he said to you.”
8 And they went out quickly, and fled from the tomb: for they trembled, and were amazed: neither did they say any thing to any man: for they were afraid.
9 And when Jesus was risen again, early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils:
10 And she went and told them that had been with him, which mourned and wept.
11 And when they heard that he was alive, and had appeared to her, they did not believe it.
12 After that, he appeared to two of them in another form, as they walked and went into the country.
13 And they went, and told it to the remnant, neither did they believe them.
14 Finally, he appeared to the eleven as they sat together, and rebuked them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe them that had seen him, being risen up again.
15 And he said to them, “Go into all the world, and preach the Gospel to every creature.
16 He that shall believe and be baptized shall be saved: but he that will not believe shall be damned.
17 And these tokens shall follow them that believe, In my Name they shall cast out devils, and shall speak with new tongues,
18 And shall take away serpents, and if they shall drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them: they shall lay their hands on the sick, and they shall recover.”
19 So after the Lord had spoken to them, he was received into heaven, and sat at the right hand of God.
20 And they went forth, and preached everywhere. And the Lord worked with them, and confirmed the word with signs that followed. Amen.

Mark 16, THE HOLY BIBLE

Psalm 23
A Psalm of David.

1 The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.
2 He makes me to rest in green pasture, and leads me by the still waters.
3 He restores my soul, and leads me in the paths of righteousness for his Name’s sake.
4 Yes, though I should walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for you are with me: your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
5 You prepare a table before me in the sight of my adversaries: you anoint my head with oil, and my cup runs over.
6 Doubtless kindness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall remain a long season in the house of the Lord.

For God so loved the world, that he has given his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God did not send his Son into the world that he should condemn the world, but that the world through him might be saved.

I have told you these things, that in me you may have peace. In the world you have oppression; but cheer up! I have overcome the world.

1 Now it happened in those days, that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be enrolled. 2 This was the first enrollment made when Quirinius was governor of Syria. 3 All went to enroll themselves, everyone to his own city. 4 Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David; 5 to enroll himself with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him as wife, being pregnant. 6 It happened, while they were there, that the day had come that she should give birth. 7 She brought forth her firstborn son, and she wrapped him in bands of cloth, and laid him in a feeding trough, because there was no room for them in the inn. 8 There were shepherds in the same country staying in the field, and keeping watch by night over their flock. 9 Behold, an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. 10 The angel said to them, “Don’t be afraid, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be to all the people. 11 For there is born to you, this day, in the city of David, a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. 12 This is the sign to you: you will find a baby wrapped in strips of cloth, lying in a feeding trough.” 13 Suddenly, there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly army praising God, and saying, 14 “Glory to God in the highest, on earth peace, good will toward men.” 15 It happened, when the angels went away from them into the sky, that the shepherds said one to another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem, now, and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us.” 16 They came with haste, and found both Mary and Joseph, and the baby was lying in the feeding trough. 17 When they saw it, they publicized widely the saying which was spoken to them about this child. 18 All who heard it wondered at the things which were spoken to them by the shepherds. 19 But Mary kept all these sayings, pondering them in her heart. 20 The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, just as it was told them. 21 When eight days were fulfilled for the circumcision of the child, his name was called Jesus, which was given by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.
