Mark 1
1
The Kingdom Is Coming Now
1The beginning of the Good News of Yeshua ha-Mashiach, Ben-Elohim.
2As Isaiah the prophet has written, “Behold, I send My messenger before You, who will prepare Your way.
3The voice of one crying in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way of Adonai, and make His paths straight.’”
4John appeared, immersing in the wilderness, proclaiming an immersion involving repentance for the removal of sins.
5All the Judean countryside was going out to him, and all the Jerusalemites. As they confessed their sins, they were being immersed by him in the Jordan River.
6John wore clothes made from camel’s hair, with a leather belt around his waist, and he ate locusts and wild honey.
7“After me comes One who is mightier than I am,” he proclaimed. “I’m not worthy to stoop down and untie the strap of His sandals!
8I immersed you with water, but He will immerse you in the Ruach ha-Kodesh.”
The Spirit Rests on Yeshua
9In those days, Yeshua came from Natzeret in the Galilee and was immersed by John in the Jordan.
10Just as He was coming up out of the water, He saw the heavens ripping open and the Ruach as a dove coming down upon Him.
11And there came a voice from the heavens: “You are My Son, whom I love; with You I am well pleased!”
12That instant, the Ruach drives Him into the wilderness.
13He was in the wilderness forty days, being tempted by satan. And He was with the wild beasts, and the angels were taking care of Him.
Fishermen Follow Him
14Now after John was put in jail, Yeshua came into the Galilee, proclaiming the Good News of God.
15“Now is the fullness of time,” He said, “and the kingdom of God is near! Turn away from your sins, and believe in the Good News!”
16Passing along by the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and Simon’s brother Andrew casting a net in the sea, for they were fishermen.
17And Yeshua said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you become fishers of men.”
18Immediately they left their nets and followed Him.
19Going a little farther, He saw Jacob the son of Zebedee and John his brother, who were in their boat mending the nets.
20Immediately He called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired hands and followed Him.
Demons Flee at His Command
21And they went into Capernaum. Right away, on Shabbat, He entered the synagogue and began to teach.
22And they were astounded at His teaching, for He was teaching them as one having authority and not as the Torah scholars.
23Just then there was a man in their synagogue with an unclean spirit. And he cried out,
24“What have we to do with You, Yeshua of Natzeret? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are! You’re the Holy One of God!”
25Yeshua rebuked him, saying, “Quiet! Come out of him!”
26And the unclean spirit, after throwing the man into convulsions and crying out with a loud voice, came out of him.
27They were all so amazed that they asked among themselves, “What is this? A new teaching with authority! He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey Him!”
28And immediately news about Him spread throughout the region surrounding Galilee.
The Hurting Become Whole
29As soon as they left the synagogue, they went with Jacob and John to the house of Simon and Andrew.
30Now Simon’s mother-in-law was lying sick with a fever. Right away, they told Yeshua about her.
31He came and raised her up by taking her hand. The fever left her, and she began to take care of them.
32When evening came, at sunset, the people brought to Him all the sick and those who were afflicted by demons.
33The whole town gathered together at the door.
34He healed many who were sick with various diseases and drove out many demons. And He would not allow the demons to speak, because they knew who He was.
35Very early, while it was still night, Yeshua got up, left, and went away to a place in the wilderness; and there He was praying.
36Then Simon and those with him hunted for Yeshua.
37And when they found Him, they said to Him, “Everybody’s looking for You.”
38He said to them, “Let’s go somewhere else, to the neighboring towns, so that I may proclaim the message there also—this is what I came for.”
39And He went throughout all the Galilee, proclaiming the message in their synagogues and driving out demons.
40A man with tza'arat comes to Him, begging Him and falling on his knees, saying, “If You are willing, You can make me clean.”
41Moved with compassion, Yeshua stretched out His hand and touched him. He said, “I am willing. Be cleansed.”
42Immediately, the tza'arat left him, and he was cleansed.
43Yeshua sent him away at once, sternly warning him.
44He said to him, “See that you say nothing to anyone, but go show yourself to the kohen. Then, for your cleansing, offer what Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”
45But he went out and began to proclaim and spread the word, so much that Yeshua could no longer enter a town openly but had to stay out in wilderness areas. Still, they kept on coming to Him from everywhere.

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.
