Mark Quotes

Mark was not an Apostle; he was a follower (disciple) of Peter (his uncle) who later traveled with Paul and Barnabus. He wrote this Gospel around 70 AD making it one of the earliest written. It appears to be writing to all believers and narrates the ministry of Jesus from his baptism by John the Baptist to his death and resurrection. He quotes some scripture but mostly to tell the story of Jesus and his ministry. His writings may or may not have been firsthand accounts but they were inspired by the Holy Ghost. He quotes hardly any scripture writers, in fact only three, Malachi, Isaiah, and Psalm: (not including what Jesus quoted). However there are many references to OT Scripture if not Direct Quotes, obviously inspired by the H.S.

Mark 1:2-3 Matthew 3:3 Luke 3:4 John 1:23 As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
Malachi 3:1 Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the Lord of hosts.
Isaiah 40:3 The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.
Mark 11:9 Matthew 21:9 John 12:13 And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord:
Psalm 118:26 Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the Lord: we have blessed you out of the house of the Lord.
Mark 15:28 Luke 22:37 And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was numbered with the transgressors.
Isaiah 53:12 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors

Gospels Quotes Old Testament Books King James Version (KJV)
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John were considered unlearned and ignorant (Acts 4:13). They were never the less used by God (Holy Spirit) to preach, Quoting the Old Testament Scripture (Acts 1, 2, 3) and to write the Gospels to Document the ministry of Christ. Luke was used to document the transition from Jewish to Gentile ministries. Quoting O.T. scriptures, alluding to its teachings, also relying on many teachings of the Lord from the OT as they walked with Him over 3 years.

TONGUES – Part 2

Another occurrence of this sign is recorded in Acts 10 when Peter went to the (gentile) house of Cornelius. This occurrence of tongues appears to be a language that the Jews who accompanied Peter understood. It was to show the Jew that God was opening the door of Salvation to the Gentile. Acts 10:46 For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,
Another occurrence of this sign is Acts 19 when Paul was dealing with Jews who had not heard of the working of the Holy Spirit. Notice it doesn’t say unknown tongues. Acts 19:6 And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.

James, Peter and John write to the Jews about the tongue(s) but only how they should use it (and it has nothing to do with unknown tongues):

James 1:26 If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man’s religion is vain.
James 3:5-6 Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth! And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.
James 3:8 But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
1 Peter 3:10 For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:
1 John 3:18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.
And John writing about future mentions tongues (as a language). Revelation 5:9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; Revelation 14:6 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, Revelation 16:16 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.

Speaking in Tongues - 10 Things to Know From the Bible

(Please read all scripture in context)

Paul gives further use of speaking in tongues (other languages); there are liars:
Romans 3:13 Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:
Paul gives instruction of the use of this gift:
1 Corinthians 12:10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: 1 Corinthians 12:28 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues. 1 Corinthians 12:30 Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret? 1 Corinthians 13:1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. 1 Corinthians 13:8 Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
1 Corinthians 14:5-6 I would that ye all spake with tongues but rather that ye prophesied: for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying. Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine?
1 Corinthians 14:18 I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all:
1 Corinthians 14:21-23 In the law it is written, With men of other tongues and other lips will I speak unto this people; and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith the Lord. Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe. If therefore the whole church be come together into one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in those that are unlearned, or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad? 1 Corinthians 14:39 Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues.

Can We Speak in Tongues Today?

TONGUES

What are tongues? Should we speak in Tongues? What does the Bible say?

Acts 2:1-4 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

There were Jews in Jerusalem from all over the Roman empire to celebrate the Passover. They all spoke the language (tongue) of the countries they came from. (Acts 2:5 And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.)
And they heard the (120) disciples speak in their own language. (Acts 2:6-8 Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language. And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans? And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?

And what languages (tongues) did they hear? (Acts 2:9-11 Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia, Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes, Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God.)
The speaking in other tongues (languages) was of God, and it was sign to these Jews that God was again trying to reach them as a Nation. And the result?
(Acts 2:12 And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this?)

Paul writes to the Church in Corinthians about use and misuse of unknown tongues. The Corinthians had many problems and tongues was one of them. (It didn’t appear to be a problem anywhere else.) The following text address the problem. 1 Corinthians 14:2 For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries. 1 Corinthians 14:4 He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church. 1 Corinthians 14:9 So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye shall speak into the air. 1 Corinthians 14:13-14 Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret. For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful. 1 Corinthians 14:19 Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue. 1 Corinthians 14:26-27 How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying. If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret.
NOTE: the word, unknown, is in italitics. This means it was NOT in the original, but added by the translators, hopefully to help understand the text.
