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.

Mark (Mrk) 1
1
1The beginning of the Good News of Yeshua the Messiah, the Son of God:
2It is written in the prophet Yesha‘yahu,
“See, I am sending my messenger ahead of you;
he will prepare the way before you.”
3“The voice of someone crying out:
‘In the desert prepare the way for Adonai!
Make straight paths for him!’”
4So it was that Yochanan the Immerser appeared in the desert, proclaiming an immersion involving turning to God from sin in order to be forgiven. 5People went out to him from all over Y’hudah, as did all the inhabitants of Yerushalayim. Confessing their sins, they were immersed by him in the Yarden River. 6Yochanan wore clothes of camel’s hair, with a leather belt around his waist; he ate locusts and wild honey. 7He proclaimed: “After me is coming someone who is more powerful than I — I’m not worthy even to bend down and untie his sandals. 8I have immersed you in water, but he will immerse you in the Ruach HaKodesh.”
9Shortly thereafter, Yeshua came from Natzeret in the Galil and was immersed in the Yarden by Yochanan. 10Immediately upon coming up out of the water, he saw heaven torn open and the Spirit descending upon him like a dove; 11then a voice came from heaven, “You are my Son, whom I love; I am well pleased with you.”
12Immediately the Spirit drove him out into the wilderness, 13and he was in the wilderness forty days being tempted by the Adversary. He was with the wild animals, and the angels took care of him.
14After Yochanan had been arrested, Yeshua came into the Galil proclaiming the Good News from God:
15“The time has come,
God’s Kingdom is near!
Turn to God from your sins
and believe the Good News!”
16As he walked beside Lake Kinneret, he saw Shim‘on and Andrew, Shim‘on’s brother, casting a net into the lake; for they were fishermen. 17Yeshua said to them, “Come, follow me, and I will make you into fishers for men!” 18At once they left their nets and followed him.
19Going on a little farther, he saw Ya‘akov Ben-Zavdai and Yochanan, his brother, in their boat, repairing their nets. 20Immediately he called them, and they left their father Zavdai in the boat with the hired men and went after Yeshua.
21They entered K’far-Nachum, and on Shabbat Yeshua went into the synagogue and began teaching. 22They were amazed at the way he taught, for he did not instruct them like the Torah-teachers but as one who had authority himself.
23In their synagogue just then was a man with an unclean spirit in him, who shouted, 24“What do you want with us, Yeshua from Natzeret? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are — the Holy One of God!” 25But Yeshua rebuked the unclean spirit, “Be quiet and come out of him!” 26Throwing the man into a convulsion, it gave a loud shriek and came out of him. 27They were all so astounded that they began asking each other, “What is this? A new teaching, one with authority behind it! He gives orders even to the unclean spirits, and they obey him!” 28And the news about him spread quickly through the whole region of the Galil.
29They left the synagogue and went with Ya‘akov and Yochanan to the home of Shim‘on and Andrew. 30Shim‘on’s mother-in-law was lying sick with a fever, and they told Yeshua about her. 31He came, took her by the hand and lifted her onto her feet. The fever left her, and she began helping them.
32That evening after sundown, they brought to Yeshua all who were ill or held in the power of demons, 33and the whole town came crowding around the door. 34He healed many who were ill with various diseases and expelled many demons, but he did not allow the demons to speak, because they knew who he was.
35Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Yeshua got up, left, went away to a lonely spot and stayed there praying. 36But Shim‘on and those with him went after him; 37and when they found him, they said, “Everybody is looking for you.” 38He answered, “Let’s go somewhere else — to the other villages around here. I have to proclaim the message there too — in fact this is why I came out.” 39So he traveled all through the Galil, preaching in their synagogues and expelling demons.
40A man afflicted with tzara‘at came to Yeshua and begged him on his knees, “If you are willing, you can make me clean.” 41Moved with pity, Yeshua reached out his hand, touched him and said to him, “I am willing! Be cleansed!” 42Instantly the tzara‘at left him, and he was cleansed. 43Yeshua sent him away with this stern warning: 44“See to it that you tell no one; instead, as a testimony to the people, go and let the cohen examine you, and offer for your cleansing what Moshe commanded.” 45But he went out and began spreading the news, talking freely about it; so that Yeshua could no longer enter a town openly but stayed out in the country, where people continued coming to him from all around.
