The Preaching of John the Baptist
Mt 3:1–12; Lk 3:1–9, 15–17; Jn 1:19–28
1#Mt 14:33The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. 2#Mal 3:1; Mt 11:10; Lk 1:76As it is written in the Prophets:
“Look, I am sending My messenger before Your face,
who will prepare Your way before You.”#Mal 3:1.
3#Mt 3:3 “The voice of one crying in the wilderness:
‘Prepare the way of the Lord,
make His paths straight.’ ”#Isa 40:3.
4#Lk 1:77John came baptizing in the wilderness and preaching a baptism of repentance for the remission of sins. 5#Ac 19:18The whole region of Judea and all the people of Jerusalem went out to him and were all baptized by him in the Jordan River, confessing their sins. 6#Lev 11:22; 2Ki 1:8John was clothed with camel’s hair and with a leather belt around his waist. And he ate locusts and wild honey. 7#Ac 13:25; Jn 1:27He preached saying, “After me is coming One mightier than I, the straps of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and untie. 8#Ac 1:5; Isa 44:3I indeed have baptized you with water, but He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.”
The Baptism of Jesus
Mt 3:13–17; Lk 3:21–22
9#Mt 2:23In those days Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan. 10#Isa 64:1; Mt 3:16Coming up out of the water, He immediately saw the heavens opened and the Spirit descending on Him like a dove. 11#Ps 2:7; Isa 42:1And a voice came from heaven, saying, “You are My beloved Son in whom I am well pleased.”
The Temptation of Jesus
Mt 4:1–11; Lk 4:1–13
12#Mt 4:1–11The Spirit immediately drove Him into the wilderness. 13#Mt 26:53; Heb 4:15And He was there in the wilderness for forty days, tempted by Satan, and was with the wild beasts. And the angels ministered to Him.
The Beginning of the Galilean Ministry
Mt 4:12–17; Lk 4:14–15
14#Mt 4:12; 4:23After John was put in prison, Jesus came to Galilee preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, 15#Gal 4:4; Ac 20:21; Eph 1:10saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent and believe the gospel.”
The Calling of the First Disciples
Mt 4:18–22; Lk 5:1–11
16#Mt 4:18–22; Jn 1:40–42As He walked by the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew, his brother, throwing a net into the sea, for they were fishermen. 17Jesus said to them, “Come, follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.” 18Immediately they 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. 20Immediately He called them. And they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants and followed Him.
The Man With an Unclean Spirit
Lk 4:31–37
21#Mt 4:23; Mk 1:39They went to Capernaum, and immediately on the Sabbath He entered the synagogue and taught. 22#Mt 7:28–29They were astonished at His teaching, for He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes. 23In their synagogue there was a man with an unclean spirit. 24#Ac 3:14; Mt 8:29; Lk 4:34And he cried out, “Leave us alone! What do You have to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are, the Holy One of God.”
25#Mk 1:34Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be silent and come out of him!” 26#Mk 9:20; 9:26When the unclean spirit had convulsed him and cried out with a loud voice, it came out of him.
27They were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, “What is this? What new teaching is this? With authority He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey Him.” 28Immediately His fame spread everywhere throughout the region surrounding Galilee.
The Healing of Many People
Mt 8:14–17; Lk 4:38–41
29#Mt 8:14–15; Lk 4:38–39When He came out of the synagogue with James and John, they went directly to the house of Simon and Andrew. 30#1Co 9:5The mother of Simon’s wife lay sick with a fever, and immediately they told Him of her. 31#Ac 9:41So He came and took her by the hand and lifted her up, and immediately the fever left her. And she served them.
32#Mt 8:16; Lk 4:40In the evening, when the sun had set, they brought to Him all who were sick and those who were possessed with demons. 33The whole city was gathered at the door, 34#Mk 3:12; Mt 4:23and He healed many who were sick with various diseases and cast out many demons. And He did not let the demons speak, because they knew Him.
A Preaching Tour
Lk 4:42–44
35#Lk 6:12; Eph 6:18In the morning, rising up a great while before sunrise, He went out and departed to a solitary place. And there He prayed. 36Simon and those who were with Him followed Him, 37#Jn 12:19and when they found Him, they said to Him, “Everyone is searching for You.”
38He said to them, “Let us go into the nearby towns, that I may preach there also. For that is why I have come.” 39#Mt 4:23; Mk 1:21So He preached in their synagogues throughout Galilee and cast out demons.
The Cleansing of a Leper
Mt 8:1–4; Lk 5:12–16
40#Mk 10:17; Mt 8:2–4A leper came to Him, pleading with Him and kneeling before Him, saying, “If You are willing, You can make me clean.”
41Then Jesus, moved with compassion, extended His hand and touched him, and said to him, “I will. Be clean.” 42As soon as He had spoken, the leprosy immediately departed from him, and he was cleansed.
43#Mt 9:30He sternly warned him, and sent him away at once, 44#Mt 8:4; Lk 17:14saying, “See that you say nothing to anyone. But go your way, show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing what Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.” 45#Mk 2:13; Mt 9:31Instead he went out and began to proclaim it widely and to spread the news around, so that Jesus could no more openly enter the city, but was out in remote places. And they came to Him from every quarter.

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.
