14After#Mt 4:17; Jn 4:45 John was arrested,#Mt 3:12; Lk 3:20; 9:7–9; Jn 3:24 Jesus went to Galilee,#Mt 17:22 proclaiming#Mk 13:10 the good news#1:14 Other mss add of the kingdom#1:14 Or gospel#Mk 1:1 of God:#Rm 15:16; 1Th 2:2,8–9 15“The time#Ps 37:39; Lk 20:10; Jn 7:8 is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God#Mt 3:2; 6:33; 12:28; 19:24; 21:31,43; Mk 4:11; 9:1; 10:14; 12:34; 14:25; 15:43 has come#Mk 9:1 near.#Rm 13:11; 1Pt 4:7 Repent#Ac 3:19; 26:20 and believe#Mk 11:24; Jn 3:16; Ac 10:43; Rm 10:9; 1Pt 1:8–10 the good news!”
The First Disciples
16As#Mt 4:18–22; Lk 5:1–11 he passed alongside the Sea of Galilee,#Mt 4:18; 15:29; Jn 6:1 he saw Simon#Mt 16:17 and Andrew,#Jn 6:8 Simon’s brother, casting a net into the sea#Mk 7:31 — for they were fishermen. 17“Follow me,” #Mt 4:19 Jesus told them, “and I will make you fish for#1:17 Or you to become fishers of#Mt 4:18–19; Lk 5:2 people.”#Mt 4:19 18Immediately they left their nets and followed#Lk 5:11; Jn 8:12 him.#Lk 18:28 19Going on a little farther, he saw James#Ac 12:2 the son of Zebedee#Jn 21:2 and his brother John#Jn 21:7 in a boat putting their nets in order. 20Immediately he called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men and followed him.#Lk 18:28
Driving Out an Unclean Spirit
21They#Lk 4:31–35 went into Capernaum,#Lk 10:15 and right away he entered the synagogue#Mk 3:1; Jms 2:2 on the Sabbath#Mk 2:23; Lk 13:10 and began to teach.#Mt 28:20; Ac 4:2; 2Tm 4:11 22They were astonished#Mk 6:2 at his teaching#Mt 7:28; 22:33; Mk 11:18; Lk 4:32; Ac 2:42; 17:19 because he was teaching them as one who had authority, and not like the scribes.
23Just then a man with an unclean#2Co 6:17 spirit#Lk 11:24 was in their synagogue.#Jms 2:2 He cried out, 24“What do you have to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth?#Mk 14:67 Have you come to destroy#Jn 6:27 us? I know who you are — the Holy#1Co 7:14 One of God!” #Lk 4:34; Jn 6:69; Eph 4:30
25Jesus rebuked#2Tm 4:2 him saying, “Be silent,#Mt 22:12 and come out of him!” 26And the unclean spirit threw him into convulsions,#Mk 9:26; Lk 9:39 shouted with a loud voice, and came out of him.
27They were all amazed,#Mk 10:24,32 and so they began to ask#Mk 8:11 each other, “What is this? A new teaching#Mk 11:18; Ac 2:42 with authority!#1:27 Other mss read “What is this? What is this new teaching? For with authority#Jd 25 He commands even the unclean#2Co 6:17 spirits,#Lk 11:24 and they obey him.” 28At once the news about him spread throughout the entire vicinity of Galilee.#Mt 17:22
Healings at Capernaum
29As#Mt 8:14–15; Lk 4:38–39 soon as they left the synagogue,#Jms 2:2 they went into Simon#Mt 16:17 and Andrew’s#Jn 6:8 house#Mk 9:33 with James#Ac 12:2 and John.#Jn 21:7 30Simon’s mother-in-law was lying in bed with a fever, and they told him about her at once. 31So he went to her, took her by the hand, and raised her up.#Mk 5:41 The fever#Lk 4:38 left her,#1:31 Other mss add at once and she began to serve#Phm 13 them.#Rm 12:13
32When#Mt 8:16–17; Lk 4:40–41 evening came, after the sun had set, they brought to him all those who were sick#Lk 5:31 and demon-possessed.#Mt 9:32 33The whole town was assembled at the door, 34and he healed#Ac 8:7 many who were sick with various diseases#Ac 19:12 and drove out#3Jn 10 many demons.#Rv 9:20; 18:2 And he would not permit the demons to speak, because they knew him.#Mk 3:11–12; 5:7
Preaching in Galilee
35Very#Mt 4:23–25; Lk 4:42–44 early in the morning, while it was still dark, he got up, went out, and made his way to a deserted place;#Mt 14:13; Mk 6:31–32; Lk 4:42; 9:12; Rv 12:6 and there he was praying.#Mt 5:44; Ac 12:12 36Simon#Mt 16:17 and his companions searched for him, 37and when they found him they said, “Everyone is looking for you.”
38And he said to them, “Let’s go on to the neighboring villages so that I may preach#Mk 1:4 there too. This is why I have come.”
A Man Cleansed
39He went into all of Galilee,#Mt 17:22 preaching in their synagogues#Mk 3:1 and driving out demons. 40Then#Mt 8:2–4; Lk 5:12–14 a man with leprosy#1:40 Gk lepros; a term for various skin diseases, also in v. 42; see Lv 13–14#Mt 11:5 came to him and, on his knees,#1:40 Other mss omit on his knees#Mt 17:14 begged him, “If you are willing, you can make me clean.”#1Jn 1:7 41Moved with compassion,#1:41 Other mss Moved with indignation#Lk 15:20 Jesus reached out his hand and touched#Jn 20:17 him. “I am willing,” he told him. “Be made clean.” 42Immediately the leprosy#Lk 5:12 left him, and he was made clean. 43Then he sternly warned#Mt 9:30; Mk 14:5; Jn 11:33,38 him and sent him away#3Jn 10 at once, 44telling him, “See that you say nothing to anyone;#Mk 5:43; 7:36; 8:26,30; 9:9; 16:8; Lk 5:14 but go and show#Rv 1:1 yourself to the priest,#Ac 4:1 and offer#Heb 5:1; 8:3 what Moses commanded for your cleansing,#Lv 13:1–14:57; Heb 1:3 as a testimony#Mk 6:11; 1Tm 2:6 to them.”#1:44 Or against them 45Yet he went out and began to proclaim#Mk 1:4; Jn 18:32 it widely and to spread the news,#Mk 4:14 with the result that Jesus could no longer enter a town openly. But he was out in deserted places, and they came to him from everywhere.

The First Disciples
16As # Mt 4:18-22; Lk 5:1-11 He was passing along by the Sea of Galilee, # Mt 4:18; 15:29; Jn 6:1 He saw Simon # Mt 16:17 and Andrew, # Jn 6:8 Simon’s brother. They were casting a net into the sea, # Mk 7:31 since they were fishermen.

Driving Out an Unclean Spirit
21Then # Lk 4:31-35 they went into Capernaum, # Lk 10:15 and right away He entered the synagogue # Mk 3:1; Jms 2:2 on the Sabbath # Mk 2:23; Lk 13:10 and began to teach. # Mt 28:20; Ac 4:2; 2Tm 4:11 22They were astonished # Mk 6:2 at His teaching # Mt 7:28; 22:33; Mk 11:18; Lk 4:32; Ac 2:42; 17:19 because, unlike the scribes, # Mt 2:4 He was teaching them as one having authority.
23Just then a man with an unclean # 2Co 6:17 spirit # Lk 11:24 was in their synagogue. # Jms 2:2 He cried out, # Other mss add to the beginning of v. 24: “Leave us alone. 24“What do You have to do with us, # Lit What to us and to You Jesus — Nazarene? # Mk 14:67 Have You come to destroy # Jn 6:27 us?

A Man Cleansed
40Then # Mt 8:2-4; Lk 5:12-14 a man with a serious skin disease # Mt 11:5 came to Him and, on his knees, # Other mss omit on his knees # Mt 17:14 begged Him: “If You are willing, You can make me clean.” # 1Jn 1:7
