John the Baptist Prepares the Way
1The #Matt. 1:1; 3:1; Luke 3:22beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, #Ps. 2:7; Matt. 14:33; Luke 1:35the Son of God. 2As it is written in the Prophets:
#Mal. 3:1; Matt. 11:10; Luke 7:27“Behold, I send My messenger before Your face,
Who will prepare Your way before You.”
3“The#Is. 40:3; Matt. 3:3; Luke 3:4; John 1:23 voice of one crying in the wilderness:
‘Prepare the way of the Lord;
Make His paths straight.’ ”
4#Mal. 4:6; Matt. 3:1; Luke 3:3John came baptizing in the wilderness and preaching a baptism of repentance for the remission of sins. 5#Matt. 3:5Then all the land of Judea, and those from Jerusalem, went out to him and were all baptized by him in the Jordan River, confessing their sins.
6Now John was #Matt. 3:4clothed with camel’s hair and with a leather belt around his waist, and he ate locusts and wild honey. 7And he preached, saying, #Matt. 3:11; John 1:27; Acts 13:25“There comes One after me who is mightier than I, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to stoop down and loose. 8#Acts 1:5; 11:16I indeed baptized you with water, but He will baptize you #Is. 44:3; John 20:22; (Acts 2:4; 10:45, 46; 1 Cor. 12:13)with the Holy Spirit.”
John Baptizes Jesus
9#Matt. 3:13–17; Luke 3:21, 22It came to pass in those days that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John in the Jordan. 10#Ezek. 1:1; Matt. 3:16; John 1:32And immediately, coming up from the water, He saw the heavens parting and the Spirit #Is. 11:2; 61:1; Acts 10:38descending upon Him like a dove. 11Then a voice came from heaven, #(Ps. 2:7); Is. 42:1; Matt. 3:17; 12:18; Mark 9:7; Luke 3:22“You are My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
Satan Tempts Jesus
12#Matt. 4:1–11; Luke 4:1–13Immediately the Spirit drove Him into the wilderness. 13And He was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted by Satan, and was with the wild beasts; #Matt. 4:10, 11and the angels ministered to Him.
Jesus Begins His Galilean Ministry
14#Matt. 4:12Now after John was put in prison, Jesus came to Galilee, #Matt. 4:23preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, 15and saying, #Dan. 9:25; (Gal. 4:4; Eph. 1:10; 1 Tim. 2:6); Titus 1:3“The time is fulfilled, and #Matt. 3:2; 4:17; (Acts 20:21)the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel.”
Four Fishermen Called as Disciples
16#Matt. 4:18–22; Luke 5:2–11; John 1:40–42And as He walked by the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen. 17Then Jesus said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you become #Matt. 13:47, 48fishers of men.” 18#Matt. 19:27; (Luke 14:26)They immediately left their nets and followed Him.
19When He had gone a little farther from there, He saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the boat mending their nets. 20And immediately He called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, and went after Him.
Jesus Casts Out an Unclean Spirit
21#Matt. 4:13; Luke 4:31–37Then they went into Capernaum, and immediately on the Sabbath He entered the #Ps. 22:22; Matt. 4:23; Luke 4:16; 13:10synagogue and taught. 22#Matt. 7:28, 29; 13:54And they were astonished at His teaching, for He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.
23Now there was a man in their synagogue with an #(Matt. 12:43); Mark 5:2; 7:25; Luke 4:33unclean spirit. And he cried out, 24saying, “Let us alone! #Matt. 8:28, 29; Mark 5:7, 8; Luke 8:28What have we to do with You, Jesus of Nazareth? Did You come to destroy us? I #Mark 3:11; Luke 4:41; James 2:19know who You are—the #Ps. 16:10Holy One of God!”
25But Jesus #(Luke 4:39)rebuked him, saying, “Be quiet, and come out of him!” 26And when the unclean spirit #Mark 9:20had convulsed him and cried out with a loud voice, he came out of him. 27Then they were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, “What is this? What new doctrine is this? For with authority He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey Him.” 28And immediately His #Matt. 4:24; 9:31fame spread throughout all the region around Galilee.
Peter’s Mother-in-Law Healed
29#Matt. 8:14, 15; Luke 4:38, 39Now as soon as they had come out of the synagogue, they entered the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. 30But Simon’s wife’s mother lay sick with a fever, and they told Him about her at once. 31So He came and took her by the hand and lifted her up, and immediately the fever left her. And she served them.
Many Healed After Sabbath Sunset
32#Matt. 8:16, 17; Luke 4:40, 41At evening, when the sun had set, they brought to Him all who were sick and those who were demon-possessed. 33And the whole city was gathered together at the door. 34Then He healed many who were sick with various diseases, and #Matt. 9:33; Luke 13:32cast out many demons; and He #Mark 3:12; Luke 4:41; Acts 16:17, 18did not allow the demons to speak, because they knew Him.
Preaching in Galilee
35Now #Luke 4:42, 43in the morning, having risen a long while before daylight, He went out and departed to a solitary place; and there He #Matt. 26:39, 44; Mark 6:46; Luke 5:16; 6:12; 9:28, 29; Heb. 5:7prayed. 36And Simon and those who were with Him searched for Him. 37When they found Him, they said to Him, #Matt. 4:25; John 3:26; 12:19“Everyone #(Heb. 11:6)is looking for You.”
38But He said to them, #Luke 4:43“Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also, because #(Is. 61:1, 2; Mark 10:45; John 16:28; 17:4, 8)for this purpose I have come forth.”
39#Ps. 22:22; Matt. 4:23; 9:35; Mark 1:21; 3:1; Luke 4:44And He was preaching in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and #Mark 5:8, 13; 7:29, 30casting out demons.
Jesus Cleanses a Leper
40#Matt. 8:2–4; Luke 5:12–14Now a leper came to Him, imploring Him, kneeling down to Him and saying to Him, “If You are willing, You can make me clean.”
41Then Jesus, moved with #Luke 7:13compassion, stretched out His hand and touched him, and said to him, “I am willing; be cleansed.” 42As soon as He had spoken, #Matt. 15:28; Mark 5:29immediately the leprosy left him, and he was cleansed. 43And He strictly warned him and sent him away at once, 44and said to him, “See that you say nothing to anyone; but go your way, show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing those things #Lev. 14:1–32which Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”
45#Matt. 28:15; Luke 5:15However, he went out and began to proclaim it freely, and to spread the matter, so that Jesus could no longer openly enter the city, but was outside in deserted places; #Mark 2:2, 13; 3:7; Luke 5:17; John 6:2and they came to Him from every direction.

Markos 1
1
1The Beginning of the Besuras HaGeulah (the Good News of Redemption) of Yehoshua, Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach [the] Ben HaElohim.
2Just as it has been written in Yeshayah HaNavi, HINNENI SHOLEIACH MALACHI (Behold, I send my messenger) before your face, UPINNAH DERECH LEFANAI (and he will prepare the way before me),#1:2 Ex 23:20; Mal 3:1 he will prepare your way.
3KOL KOREY BAMIDBAR#1:3 TARGUM HASHIVIM Isa 40:3 (A voice of one shouting in the wilderness): Prepare the Derech Hashem (the way of the L-rd). Make his paths yashar (straight)!
4Yochanan came with a mikveh mayim in the midbar, preaching a tevilah of teshuva for the selichat avon.
5And all Yehudah and all Yerushalayim were going out to him, and they were submitted to a tevilah using the Yarden River as a mikveh mayim, making vidduy#1:5 to Hashem of their averos (sins).
6And Yochanan had camel hair clothing and a leather belt around his waist, and his food was arbe and devash.#1:6 2Kgs 1:8; Lv 11:22
7And he was preaching, [crying out as a maggid],#1:7 for the Moshiach saying, Hu Habah (He who Comes)#1:7 i.e. Moshiach after me has more chozek (strength) than me. I am not worthy to stoop down and remove his sandals.
8I give you a tevilah in a mikveh mayim, but he#1:8 Moshiach will give you a tevilah in the Ruach Hakodesh.
9And it was during that period that Yehoshua from Natzeret of the Galil came and submitted to Yochananʼs tevilah in the mikveh mayim of the Yarden.
10And ofen ort Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach came up out of the mikveh mayim, and he saw Shomayim being torn open, the Ruach Hakodesh of Hashem descending like a yonah on him.
11And there was a bat kol out of Shomayim, ATAH BNI AHUVI ASHER BCHA CHAFATSTI (You are my Son, the beloved, with whom I am well pleased).
12Then the Ruach Hakodesh ofen ort thrusts him out into the midbar.
13And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was in the midbar arba'im yom varbaim lailah, undergoing nisyonos by HaSatan; and he was with the chayyat hassadeh#1:13 Job 5:23 (wild beasts), and the malachim were the meshartei Hashem ministering to Moshiach.
14Now after Yochanan was arrested, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach came to the Galil, darshenen (preaching) the Besuras HaGeulah of Hashem,
15And saying, The appointed time has been fulfilled and the Malchut Hashem has come near. Make teshuva, and have emunah in the Besuras HaGeulah.
16And passing along beside Sea of Galilee, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach saw Shim'on and Andrew, the brother of Shim'on, casting a reshet into the sea, for they were daiyagim (fishermen).
17And he said to them, Come, follow me,#1:17 as my talmidim and I will make you to become daiyagei adam.
18And ofen ort, leaving their nets, they followed Moshiach.
19And going on a little, he saw Ya'akov Ben Zavdai and Yochanan his brother, who were also in the sirah (boat) repairing the nets.
20And ofen ort he summoned them; and, leaving Zavdai their father in the sirah with the sachirim (hired workers), they went away to follow Moshiach.
21And they enter into K'far-Nachum, and ofen ort on Shabbos, entering into the shul, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach exercised the ministry of moreh (teacher).
22And they were astounded at Moshiachʼs torah (teaching), for he was teaching them as one having samchut, and not as the Sofrim.
23And, ofen ort, there was in their shul a man with a ruach hatameh, and he shouted,
24Saying, Yehoshua of Natzeret, mah lanu vlach? (What to us and to you?) Have you come to bring us churban (destruction)? I have daas#1:24 of the raz, secret, mystery of who you are, HaKadosh of Hashem (the Holy One of G-d).
25But he rebuked the shed, saying, Shekit! Gey zich! And come out of him.
26And, the ruach hatumah, throwing him into convulsions, let out a shrai and came out of him.
27And all were astounded so that they began to discuss with each other, saying, What is this? Torah Chadasha with samchut? He gives orders to the shedim and they obey him?
28And the besuroh (news) of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach ofen ort (immediately) went forth everywhere into the surrounding region of the Galil.
29And ofen ort (immediately), coming out of shul, they went into the bais (house) of Shim'on and Andrew with Ya'akov and Yochanan.
30And the chamot (shviger, mother-in-law) of Shim'on was bedridden and fever-stricken, and ofen ort (immediately) they tell Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach about her.
31And approaching, holding her hand, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach lifted her up, and the kaddachat#1:31 Dt 28:22 (fever) left her, and she then began functioning as their mesharetet (servant, keli kodesh, lady minister), waiting on them.
32When erev (evening) came, with the setting of the shemesh (sun), they brought to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach all the cholim (sick persons) and all those possessed by shedim (demons).
33And the whole shtetl gathered together at the delet (door).
34And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach administered refuah (healing) to many cholim (sick persons) suffering from various machlot (illnessess), and he cast out many shedim (demons). And he did not permit the shedim to give utterance, for the shedim knew the raz (mystery, secret) of his identity, that he was the Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach.
35And very early, while it was still dark, having got up, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach went out and away to a desolate place, and was davening shacharis there.
36And Shim'on and those with him searched for Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach.
37And they found Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach and they say to him, Everyone is seeking you.#1:37 Song 1:4; Hag 2:7
38And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to them, Let us go elsewhere into the neighboring shtetlach, so that also there I may preach. For it was for this [purpose, tachlis] I came.#1:38 Isa 61:1
39And he came preaching in their shuls (synagogues) and casting out shedim in [the] whole [region of] the Galil.
40And an ish metzorah (leper) comes to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach begging him and kneeling down and saying, If you are willing, you are able to make me tahor (clean).
41And being filled with rachmei Shomayim [and] stretching out his hand, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach touched [the man] and says to him, I am willing. Be made tahor.
42And ofen ort (immediately) the ish metzorah (leper) went away from Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach and he was made tahor.
43And having sternly warned him, ofen ort (immediately) Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach sent him away.
44And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to him, See [that] you say nothing to anyone, but rather go show yourself to the kohen and offer [the korban] for the tohorah (purification) of you which Moshe (Rabbeinu) gave mitzvah, for an edut (testimony) to them.#1:44 Lv 13:49; 14:1-32
45But the one having gone out began to preach many things and to spread the dvar, so that no longer was Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach able to openly enter into [the] shtetl, but he was outside in desolate places. And they were coming to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach from every direction.
