S. Mark 1
1
1The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. 2Even as it is written in Isaiah the prophet, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, Who shall prepare thy way; 3The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make ye ready the way of the Lord, Make his paths straight; 4John came, who baptized in the wilderness and preached the baptism of repentance unto remission of sins. 5And there went out unto him all the country of Judaea, and all they of Jerusalem; and they were baptized of him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins. 6And John was clothed with camel's hair, and had a leathern girdle about his loins, and did eat locusts and wild honey. 7And he preached, saying, There cometh after me he that is mightier than I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose. 8I baptized you with water; but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost.
9And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in the Jordan. 10And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens rent asunder, and the Spirit as a dove descending upon him: 11And a voice came out of the heavens, Thou art my beloved Son, in thee I am well pleased. 12And straightway the Spirit driveth him forth into the wilderness. 13And he was in the wilderness forty days tempted of Satan; and he was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto him.
14Now after that John was delivered up, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God, 15and saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe in the gospel. 16And passing along by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew the brother of Simon casting a net in the sea: for they were fishers. 17And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men. 18And straightway they left the nets, and followed him. 19And going on a little further, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the boat mending the nets. 20And straightway he called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, and went after him. 21And they go into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath day he entered into the synagogue and taught. 22And they were astonished at his teaching: for he taught them as having authority, and not as the scribes.
23And straightway there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out, 24saying, What have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God. 25And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. 26And the unclean spirit, tearing him and crying with a loud voice, came out of him. 27And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What is this? a new teaching! with authority he commandeth even the unclean spirits, and they obey him. 28And the report of him went out straightway everywhere into all the region of Galilee round about.
29And straightway, when they were come out of the synagogue, they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. 30Now Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever; and straightway they tell him of her: 31and he came and took her by the hand, and raised her up; and the fever left her, and she ministered unto them. 32And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all that were sick, and them that were possessed with devils. 33And all the city was gathered together at the door. 34And he healed many that were sick with divers diseases, and cast out many devils; and he suffered not the devils to speak, because they knew him. 35And in the morning, a great while before day, he rose up and went out, and departed into a desert place, and there prayed. 36And Simon and they that were with him followed after him; 37and they found him, and say unto him, All are seeking thee. 38And he saith unto them, Let us go elsewhere into the next towns, that I may preach there also; for to this end came I forth. 39And he went into their synagogues throughout all Galilee, preaching and casting out devils.
40And there cometh to him a leper, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. 41And being moved with compassion, he stretched forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou made clean. 42And straightway the leprosy departed from him, and he was made clean. 43And he strictly charged him, and straightway sent him out, 44and saith unto him, See thou say nothing to any man: but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing the things which Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them. 45But he went out, and began to publish it much, and to spread abroad the matter, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly enter into a city, but was without in desert places: and they came to him from every quarter.

The Baptism of Jesus
9In # Mt 3:13-17; Lk 3:21-23 those days Jesus came from Nazareth # Mt 2:23; 4:13; 21:11; Lk 1:26; 2:4,39,51; 4:16; Jn 1:45-46 in Galilee # Mt 17:22 and was baptized in the Jordan by John. 10As soon as He came up out of the water, He saw the heavens # Mt 24:35; Lk 12:33; Ac 17:24; Eph 6:9; Rv 21:10 being torn open and the Spirit descending to Him like a dove. 11And a voice # Jn 5:37 came from heaven: # Rv 14:13
You are My beloved # Lk 20:13; Eph 1:6; Phm 1 Son; # Ps 2:7
I take delight # Is 42:1 in You! # Or In You I am well pleased

Ministry in Galilee
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 preaching # Mk 13:10 the good news # Other mss add of the kingdom # Or gospel # Mk 1:1 of God: # Either from God or about 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 in the good news! ”
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.
17“Follow Me,” # Mt 4:19 Jesus told them, “and I will make you fish for # Lit 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 They were in their boat mending their nets. 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
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? I know who You are — the Holy # 1Co 7:14 One of God! ” # Lk 4:34; Jn 6:69; Eph 4:30
25But Jesus rebuked # 2Tm 4:2 him and said, “Be quiet, # Or Be muzzled # Mt 22:12 and come out of him! ” 26And the unclean spirit convulsed him, # Mk 9:26; Lk 9:39 shouted with a loud voice, and came out of him.
27Then they were all amazed, # Mk 10:24,32 so they began to argue # Mk 8:11 with one another, saying, “What is this? A new teaching # Mk 11:18; Ac 2:42 with authority! # 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.” 28News about Him then 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, # 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 began bringing to Him all those who were sick # Lk 5:31 and those who were 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 But 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 He was praying # Mt 5:44; Ac 12:12 there. 36Simon # Mt 16:17 and his companions went searching for Him. 37They found Him and said, “Everyone’s 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.” 39So He went into all of Galilee, # Mt 17:22 preaching in their synagogues # Mk 3:1 and driving out demons.
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
41Moved with compassion, # 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 disease # Lk 5:12 left him, and he was healed. # Lit 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 prescribed for your cleansing, # Lv 13–14; Heb 1:3 as a testimony # Mk 6:11; 1Tm 2:6 to 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 would come to Him from everywhere.
