Mark 1
1
Preaching of John the Baptist
1The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
2As it is written in Isaiah the prophet:
“Behold, I send My messenger ahead of You,
Who will prepare Your way;
3The voice of one crying in the wilderness,
‘Make ready the way of the Lord,
Make His paths straight.’ ”
4John the Baptist appeared in the wilderness #Or proclaimingpreaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. 5And all the country of Judea was going out to him, and all the people of Jerusalem; and they were being baptized by him in the Jordan River, confessing their sins. 6John was clothed with camel’s hair and wore a leather belt around his waist, and his diet was locusts and wild honey. 7And he was preaching, and saying, “After me One is coming who is mightier than I, and I am not fit to stoop down and untie the thong of His sandals. 8I baptized you #The Gr here can be translated in, with or bywith water; but He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.”
The Baptism of Jesus
9In those days Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan. 10Immediately coming up out of the water, He saw the heavens opening, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon Him; 11and a voice came out of the heavens: “You are My beloved Son, in You I am well-pleased.”
12Immediately the Spirit *impelled Him to go out into the wilderness. 13And He was in the wilderness forty days being tempted by Satan; and He was with the wild beasts, and the angels were ministering to Him.
Jesus Preaches in Galilee
14Now after John had been taken into custody, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God, 15and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.”
16As He was going along by the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew, the brother of Simon, casting a net in the sea; for they were fishermen. 17And Jesus said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you become fishers of men.” 18Immediately they left their nets and followed Him. 19Going on a little farther, He saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who were also in the boat mending the nets. 20Immediately He called them; and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, and went away to follow Him.
21They *went into Capernaum; and immediately on the Sabbath He entered the synagogue and began to teach. 22They were amazed at His teaching; for He was teaching them as one having authority, and not as the scribes. 23Just then there was a man in their synagogue with an unclean spirit; and he cried out, 24saying, “What business do we have with each other, Jesus #Lit the Nazareneof Nazareth? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are—the Holy One of God!” 25And Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be quiet, and come out of him!” 26Throwing him into convulsions, the unclean spirit cried out with a loud voice and came out of him. 27They were all amazed, so that they debated among themselves, saying, “What is this? A new teaching with authority! He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey Him.” 28Immediately the news about Him spread everywhere into all the surrounding district of Galilee.
Crowds Healed
29And immediately after they came out of the synagogue, they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. 30Now Simon’s mother-in-law was lying sick with a fever; and immediately they *spoke to Jesus about her. 31And He came to her and raised her up, taking her by the hand, and the fever left her, and she #Or servedwaited on them.
32When evening came, after the sun had set, they began bringing to Him all who were ill and those who were demon-possessed. 33And the whole city had gathered at the door. 34And He healed many who were ill with various diseases, and cast out many demons; and He was not permitting the demons to speak, because they knew who He was.
35In the early morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house, and went away to a secluded place, and was praying there. 36Simon and his companions searched for Him; 37they found Him, and *said to Him, “Everyone is looking for You.” 38He *said to them, “Let us go somewhere else to the towns nearby, so that I may preach there also; for that is what I came for.” 39And He went into their synagogues throughout all Galilee, preaching and casting out the demons.
40And a leper *came to Jesus, beseeching Him and falling on his knees before Him, and saying, “If You are willing, You can make me clean.” 41Moved with compassion, Jesus stretched out His hand and touched him, and *said to him, “I am willing; be cleansed.” 42Immediately the leprosy left him and he was cleansed. 43And He sternly warned him and immediately sent him away, 44and He *said to him, “See that you say nothing to anyone; but go, show yourself to the priest and offer for your cleansing what Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.” 45But he went out and began to proclaim it freely and to spread the news around, to such an extent that Jesus could no longer publicly enter a city, but #Lit wasstayed out in unpopulated areas; and they were coming to Him from everywhere.

Mark 1
1
1A beginning of the good news of Jesus Christ, Son of God.
2As it hath been written in the prophets, ‘Lo, I send My messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee,’ —
3‘A voice of one calling in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, straight make ye his paths,’ —
4John came baptizing in the wilderness, and proclaiming a baptism of reformation — to remission of sins,
5and there were going forth to him all the region of Judea, and they of Jerusalem, and they were all baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.
6And John was clothed with camel's hair, and a girdle of skin around his loins, and eating locusts and honey of the field,
7and he proclaimed, saying, ‘He doth come — who is mightier than I — after me, of whom I am not worthy — having stooped down — to loose the latchet of his sandals;
8I indeed did baptize you with water, but he shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit.’
9And it came to pass in those days, Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John at the Jordan;
10and immediately coming up from the water, he saw the heavens dividing, and the Spirit as a dove coming down upon him;
11and a voice came out of the heavens, ‘Thou art My Son — the Beloved, in whom I did delight.’
12And immediately doth the Spirit put him forth to the wilderness,
13and he was there in the wilderness forty days, being tempted by the Adversary, and he was with the beasts, and the messengers were ministering to him.
14And after the delivering up of John, Jesus came to Galilee, proclaiming the good news of the reign of God,
15and saying — ‘Fulfilled hath been the time, and the reign of God hath come nigh, reform ye, and believe in the good news.’
16And, walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon, and Andrew his brother, casting a drag into the sea, for they were fishers,
17and Jesus said to them, ‘Come ye after me, and I shall make you to become fishers of men;’
18and immediately, having left their nets, they followed him.
19And having gone on thence a little, he saw James of Zebedee, and John his brother, and they were in the boat refitting the nets,
20and immediately he called them, and, having left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, they went away after him.
21And they go on to Capernaum, and immediately, on the sabbaths, having gone into the synagogue, he was teaching,
22and they were astonished at his teaching, for he was teaching them as having authority, and not as the scribes.
23And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit, and he cried out,
24saying, ‘Away! what — to us and to thee, Jesus the Nazarene? thou didst come to destroy us; I have known thee who thou art — the Holy One of God.’
25And Jesus rebuked him, saying, ‘Be silenced, and come forth out of him,’
26and the unclean spirit having torn him, and having cried with a great voice, came forth out of him,
27and they were all amazed, so as to reason among themselves, saying, ‘What is this? what new teaching [is] this? that with authority also the unclean spirits he commandeth, and they obey him!’
28And the fame of him went forth immediately to all the region, round about, of Galilee.
29And immediately, having come forth out of the synagogue, they went to the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John,
30and the mother-in-law of Simon was lying fevered, and immediately they tell him about her,
31and having come near, he raised her up, having laid hold of her hand, and the fever left her immediately, and she was ministering to them.
32And evening having come, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all who were ill, and who were demoniacs,
33and the whole city was gathered together near the door,
34and he healed many who were ill of manifold diseases, and many demons he cast forth, and was not suffering the demons to speak, because they knew him.
35And very early, it being yet night, having risen, he went forth, and went away to a desert place, and was there praying;
36and Simon and those with him went in quest of him,
37and having found him, they say to him, — ‘All do seek thee;’
38and he saith to them, ‘We may go to the next towns, that there also I may preach, for for this I came forth.’
39And he was preaching in their synagogues, in all Galilee, and is casting out the demons,
40and there doth come to him a leper, calling on him, and kneeling to him, and saying to him — ‘If thou mayest will, thou art able to cleanse me.’
41And Jesus having been moved with compassion, having stretched forth the hand, touched him, and saith to him, ‘I will; be thou cleansed;’
42and he having spoken, immediately the leprosy went away from him, and he was cleansed.
43And having sternly charged him, immediately he put him forth,
44and saith to him, ‘See thou mayest say nothing to any one, but go away, thyself shew to the priest, and bring near for thy cleansing the things Moses directed, for a testimony to them.’
45And he, having gone forth, began to proclaim much, and to spread abroad the thing, so that no more he was able openly to enter into the city, but he was without in desert places, and they were coming unto him from every quarter.
