‘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

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

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.

St Mark 1
1
1THE beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
2As it is written in Isaias the prophet: Behold I send my angel before thy face, who shall prepare the way before thee.
3A voice of one crying in the desert: Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight his paths.
4John was in the desert baptizing, and preaching the baptism of penance, unto remission of sins.
5And there went out to him all the country of Judea, and all they of Jerusalem, and were baptized by him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins.
6And John was clothed with camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and he ate locusts and wild honey.
7And he preached, saying: There cometh after me one mightier than I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and loose.
8I have baptized you with water; but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost.
9And it came to pass, in those days, Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John in the Jordan.
10And forthwith coming up out of he water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit as a dove descending, and remaining on him.
11And there came a voice from heaven: Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.
12And immediately the Spirit drove him out into the desert.
13And he was in the desert forty days and forty nights, and was tempted by Satan; and he was with beasts, and the angels ministered to him.
14And after that John was delivered up, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,
15And saying: The time is accomplished, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent, and believe the gospel.
16And passing by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother, casting nets into the sea (for they were fishermen).
17And Jesus said to them: Come after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.
18And immediately leaving their nets, they followed him.
19And going on from thence a little farther, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were mending their nets in the ship:
20And forthwith he called them. And leaving their father Zebedee in the ship with his hired men, they followed him.
21And they entered into Capharnaum, and forthwith upon the sabbath days going into the synagogue, he taught them.
22And they were astonished at his doctrine. For he was teaching them as one having power, and not as the scribes.
23And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,
24Saying: What have we to do with thee, Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know who thou art, the Holy One of God.
25And Jesus threatened him, saying: Speak no more, and go out of the man.
26And the unclean spirit tearing him, and crying out with a loud voice, went out of him.
27And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying: What thing is this? what is this new doctrine? for with power he commandeth even the unclean spirits, and they obey him.
28And the fame of him was spread forthwith into all the country of Galilee.
29And immediately going out of the synagogue they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
30And Simon's wife's mother lay in a fit of a fever: and forthwith they tell him of her.
31And coming to her, he lifted her up, taking her by the hand; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them.
32And when it was evening, after sunset, they brought to him all that were ill and that were possessed with devils.
33And all the city was gathered together at the door.
34And he healed many that were troubled with divers diseases; and he cast out many devils, and he suffered them not to speak, because they knew him.
35And rising very early, going out, he went into a desert place: and there he prayed.
36And Simon, and they that were with him, followed after him.
37And when they had found him, they said to him: All seek for thee.
38And he saith to them: Let us go into the neighbouring towns and cities, that I may preach there also; for to this purpose am I come.
39And he was preaching in their synagogues, and in all Galilee, and casting out devils.
40And there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeling down said to him: If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
41And Jesus having compassion on him, stretched forth his hand; and touching him, saith to him: I will. Be thou made clean.
42And when he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was made clean.
43And he strictly charged him, and forthwith sent him away.
44And he saith to him: See thou tell no one; but go, shew thyself to the high priest, and offer for thy cleansing the things that Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.
45But he being gone out, began to publish and to blaze abroad the word: so that he could not openly go into the city, but was without in desert places: and they flocked to him from all sides.
