The Base Code

The basis for the Mercy Code.

His Story From the Gospels

The Gospels translated into English

The Code Base is where it all starts.
No theology degrees. No middlemen. Just the words and actions of Jesus from the Gospel of Mark — the earliest and most direct account we have. These are the roots of The Mercy Code. One document holds everything he said. The other shows what he did. Together, they form the foundation for how we live, treat others, and make sense of mercy in a world that desperately needs it.
