Mark 1

The Preaching of John the Baptist

(Matthew 3.1-12; Luke 3.1-18; John 1.19-28)

1This is the good news about Jesus Christ, the Son of God.#1.1 the Son of God: These words are not in some manuscripts. 2#Ml 3.1. It began just as God had said in the book written by Isaiah the prophet,

“I am sending my messenger

to get the way ready

for you.

3 # Is 40.3 (LXX). In the desert

someone is shouting,

‘Get the road ready

for the Lord!

Make a straight path

for him.’ ”

4So John the Baptist showed up in the desert and told everyone, “Turn back to God and be baptized! Then your sins will be forgiven.”

5From all Judea and Jerusalem crowds of people went to John. They told how sorry they were for their sins, and he baptized them in the Jordan River.

6 # 2 K 1.8. John wore clothes made of camel's hair. He had a leather strap around his waist and ate grasshoppers and wild honey.

7John also told the people, “Someone more powerful is going to come. And I am not good enough even to stoop down and untie his sandals.#1.7 untie his sandals: This was the duty of a slave. 8I baptize you with water, but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit!”

The Baptism of Jesus

(Matthew 3.13-17; Luke 3.21,22)

9About that time Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee, and John baptized him in the Jordan River. 10As soon as Jesus came out of the water, he saw the sky open and the Holy Spirit coming down to him like a dove. 11#Gn 22.2; Ps 2.7; Is 42.1; Mt 3.17; 12.18; Mk 9.7; Lk 3.22. A voice from heaven said, “You are my own dear Son, and I am pleased with you.”

Jesus and Satan

(Matthew 4.1-11; Luke 4.1-13)

12At once God's Spirit made Jesus go into the desert. 13He stayed there for 40 days while Satan tested him. Jesus was with the wild animals, but angels took care of him.

Jesus Begins His Work

(Matthew 4.12-17; Luke 4.14,15)

14After John was arrested, Jesus went to Galilee and told the good news that comes from God.#1.14 that comes from God: Or “that is about God.” 15#Mt 3.2. He said, “The time has come! God's kingdom will soon be here.#1.15 will soon be here: Or “is already here.” Turn back to God and believe the good news!”

Jesus Chooses Four Fishermen

(Matthew 4.18-22; Luke 5.1-11)

16As Jesus was walking along the shore of Lake Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew. They were fishermen and were casting their nets into the lake. 17Jesus said to them, “Follow me! I will teach you how to bring in people instead of fish.” 18Right then the two brothers dropped their nets and went with him.

19Jesus walked on and soon saw James and John, the sons of Zebedee. They were in a boat, mending their nets. 20At once Jesus asked them to come with him. They left their father in the boat with the hired workers and went with him.

A Man with an Evil Spirit

(Luke 4.31-37)

21Jesus and his disciples went to the town of Capernaum. Then on the next Sabbath he went into the synagogue and started teaching. 22#Mt 7.28,29. Everyone was amazed at his teaching. He taught with authority, and not like the teachers of the Law of Moses. 23Suddenly a man with an evil spirit#1.23 evil spirit: A Jewish person who had an evil spirit was considered “unclean” and was not allowed to eat or worship with other Jewish people. in him entered the synagogue and yelled, 24“Jesus from Nazareth, what do you want with us? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are! You are God's Holy One.”

25Jesus told the evil spirit, “Be quiet and come out of the man!” 26The spirit shook him. Then it gave a loud shout and left.

27Everyone was completely surprised and kept saying to each other, “What is this? It must be some new kind of powerful teaching! Even the evil spirits obey him.” 28News about Jesus quickly spread all over Galilee.

Jesus Heals Many People

(Matthew 8.14-17; Luke 4.38-41)

29As soon as Jesus left the synagogue with James and John, they went home with Simon and Andrew. 30When they got there, Jesus was told that Simon's mother-in-law was sick in bed with fever. 31Jesus went to her. He took hold of her hand and helped her up. The fever left her, and she served them a meal.

32That evening after sunset,#1.32 after sunset: The Sabbath was over, and a new day began at sunset. all who were sick or had demons in them were brought to Jesus. 33In fact, the whole town gathered around the door of the house. 34Jesus healed all kinds of terrible diseases and forced out a lot of demons. But the demons knew who he was, and he did not let them speak.

35Very early the next morning before daylight, Jesus got up and went to a place where he could be alone and pray. 36Simon and the others started looking for him. 37And when they found him, they said, “Everyone is looking for you!”

38Jesus replied, “We must go to the nearby towns, so that I can tell the good news to those people. This is why I have come.” 39#Mt 4.23; 9.35. Then Jesus went to their synagogues everywhere in Galilee, where he preached and forced out demons.

Jesus Heals a Man

(Matthew 8.1-4; Luke 5.12-16)

40A man with leprosy#1.40 leprosy: In biblical times the word “leprosy” was used for many different kinds of skin diseases. came to Jesus and knelt down.#1.40 and knelt down: These words are not in some manuscripts. He begged, “You have the power to make me well, if only you wanted to.”

41Jesus felt sorry for#1.41 felt sorry for: Some manuscripts have “was angry with.” the man. So he put his hand on him and said, “I want to! Now you are well.” 42At once the man's leprosy disappeared, and he was well.

43After Jesus strictly warned the man, he sent him on his way. 44#Lv 14.1-32. He said, “Don't tell anyone about this. Just go and show the priest that you are well. Then take a gift to the temple as Moses commanded, and everyone will know that you have been healed.”#1.44 everyone will know that you have been healed: People with leprosy had to be examined by a priest and told that they were well (that is, “clean”) before they could once again live a normal life in the Jewish community. The gift that Moses commanded was the sacrifice of some lambs together with flour mixed with olive oil.

45The man talked about it so much and told so many people, that Jesus could no longer go openly into a town. He had to stay away from the towns, but people still came to him from everywhere.

Marcos 1

Ang Pangangaral ni Juan na Tagapagbautismo

(Mt. 3:1-12; Lu. 3:1-18; Jn. 1:19-28)

1Ito ang simula ng Magandang Balita tungkol kay Jesu-Cristo, [ang Anak ng Diyos].#1:1 ang Anak ng Diyos: Sa ibang manuskrito'y hindi nakasulat ang mga salitang ito. 2Tulad#Mal. 3:1. ng nakasulat sa aklat ni propeta Isaias,

“Narito ang sugo ko na aking ipadadalang mauuna sa iyo;

ihahanda niya ang iyong daraanan.

3Ito#Isa. 40:3 (LXX). ang pahayag ng isang taong sumisigaw sa ilang:

‘Ihanda ninyo ang daraanan ng Panginoon,

gumawa kayo ng mga tuwid na landas na kanyang lalakaran!’”

4At dumating nga sa ilang si Juan na Tagapagbautismo na nangangaral,#1:4 At dumating…na nangangaral: Sa ibang manuskrito'y At dumating nga sa ilang si Juan, na nagbabautismo at nangangaral. “Pagsisihan ninyo't talikuran ang inyong mga kasalanan at pabautismo kayo, upang kayo'y patawarin ng Diyos.” 5Halos lahat ng taga-Judea at taga-Jerusalem ay pumunta kay Juan. Ipinahayag nila ang kanilang mga kasalanan at sila'y binautismuhan niya sa Ilog Jordan.

6Ang#2 Ha. 1:8. damit ni Juan ay yari sa balahibo ng kamelyo, at balat naman ng hayop ang kanyang sinturon. Ang kanya namang pagkain ay balang at pulot-pukyutan. 7Ito ang ipinapahayag niya sa mga tao, “Ang darating na kasunod ko ay higit na makapangyarihan kaysa sa akin. Ni hindi ako karapat-dapat yumukod at magkalas man lamang ng tali ng kanyang sandalyas.#1:7 Ni hindi…ng kanyang sandalyas: o kaya'y Ni hindi man lamang ako karapat-dapat na maging kanyang alipin. 8Binautismuhan ko kayo sa tubig, ngunit babautismuhan niya kayo sa Espiritu Santo.”

Ang Pagbautismo kay Jesus

(Mt. 3:13-17; Lu. 3:21-22)

9Nang panahong iyon, dumating si Jesus mula sa Nazaret sa Galilea, at siya'y binautismuhan ni Juan sa Ilog Jordan. 10Pagkaahung-pagkaahon ni Jesus sa tubig, nakita niyang bumukas ang kalangitan at bumababa sa kanya ang Espiritu na tulad ng isang kalapati. 11Narinig#Gen. 22:2; Awit 2:7; Isa. 42:1; Mt. 3:17; 12:18; Mc. 9:7; Lu. 3:22. niya ang isang tinig na mula sa langit at nagsasabing, “Ikaw ang minamahal kong Anak; lubos kitang kinalulugdan.”

Ang Pagtukso kay Jesus

(Mt. 4:1-11; Lu. 4:1-13)

12Pagkatapos, dinala agad ng Espiritu si Jesus sa ilang. 13Nanatili siya roon nang apatnapung araw, at doo'y tinukso siya ni Satanas.#1:13 Nanatili siya…Satanas: o kaya'y Nanatili siya roon nang apatnapung araw habang siya'y tinutukso ni Satanas. Doon ay may mababangis na hayop ngunit si Jesus ay pinaglingkuran ng mga anghel.

Ang Simula ng Pangangaral sa Galilea

(Mt. 4:12-17; Lu. 4:14-15)

14Nang ibinilanggo si Juan, nagpunta si Jesus sa Galilea at ipinangaral doon ang Magandang Balitang mula sa Diyos. 15Sinabi#Mt. 3:2. niya, “Dumating na ang takdang panahon. Malapit nang maghari ang Diyos!#1:15 Malapit nang maghari ang Diyos!: o kaya'y Naghahari na ang Diyos. Kaya magsisi na kayo't talikuran ang inyong mga kasalanan. Paniwalaan ninyo ang Magandang Balita!”

Ang Pagtawag sa Apat na Mangingisda

(Mt. 4:18-22; Lu. 5:1-11)

16Habang naglalakad si Jesus sa tabi ng Lawa ng Galilea, nakita niya ang magkapatid na Simon at Andres na nanghuhuli ng isda sa pamamagitan ng lambat. Sila'y kapwa mga mangingisda. 17Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanila, “Sumunod kayo sa akin at kayo'y gagawin kong mangingisda ng mga tao.” 18Pagkasabi niya nito'y agad iniwan ng magkapatid ang kanilang mga lambat at sumunod sa kanya.

19Nagpatuloy siya sa paglalakad, at sa di-kalayuan ay nakita naman niya ang magkapatid na Santiago at Juan, na mga anak ni Zebedeo. Sila'y nasa kanilang bangka at nag-aayos ng mga lambat. 20Tinawag din sila agad ni Jesus at sila ay sumunod din sa kanya. Iniwan nila sa bangka ang kanilang ama na kasama ang kanilang mga upahang manggagawa.

Pinagaling ang Sinasapian ng Masamang Espiritu

(Lu. 4:31-37)

21Nagpunta sina Jesus sa Capernaum, at nang sumunod na Araw ng Pamamahinga ay pumasok si Jesus sa sinagoga at nagturo. 22Namangha#Mt. 7:28-29. ang mga tao sapagkat nagtuturo siya nang may kapangyarihan, hindi tulad ng mga tagapagturo ng Kautusan.

23Bigla namang pumasok sa sinagoga ang isang lalaking sinasapian ng masamang espiritu. Ito'y sumigaw, 24“Ano ang pakay mo sa amin, Jesus na taga-Nazaret? Naparito ka ba upang kami'y puksain? Kilala kita! Ikaw ang Banal na mula sa Diyos.”

25Ngunit iniutos ni Jesus sa masamang espiritu, “Tumahimik ka! Lumabas ka sa kanya!”

26Pinangisay ng masamang espiritu ang lalaki at sumisigaw itong lumabas sa kanya. 27Ang lahat ay namangha kaya't sila'y nagtanungan sa isa't isa, “Paanong nangyari iyon? Ito ay isang kakaibang katuruan! Makapangyarihan niyang nauutusan ang masasamang espiritu, at sumusunod naman ang mga ito sa kanya.”

28Dahil dito, mabilis na kumalat sa buong Galilea ang balita tungkol kay Jesus.

Ang Pagpapagaling sa Maraming Tao

(Mt. 8:14-17; Lu. 4:38-41)

29Mula sa sinagoga ay nagtungo agad si Jesus at ang kanyang mga alagad, kasama sina Santiago at Juan, sa bahay nina Simon at Andres. 30Noon ay nakahiga dahil nilalagnat ang biyenan ni Simon at ito'y agad nilang sinabi kay Jesus. 31Kaya't nilapitan ni Jesus ang babae, hinawakan ito sa kamay at ibinangon. Noon di'y gumaling ito at naghanda ng pagkain para sa kanila.

32Pagsapit ng gabi, pagkalubog ng araw, dinala kay Jesus ang lahat ng maysakit at ang mga sinasapian ng demonyo. 33Halos lahat ng mga tagaroon ay nagkatipon sa harap ng bahay. 34Pinagaling ni Jesus ang maraming maysakit, anuman ang kanilang karamdaman. Pinalayas din niya ang mga demonyo, at hindi niya hinayaang magsalita ang mga ito sapagkat alam nila kung sino siya.

Ang Pangangaral ni Jesus sa Galilea

(Lu. 4:42-44)

35Madaling-araw pa'y bumangon na si Jesus at nagpunta sa isang lugar na walang tao at doon ay nanalangin siya. 36Hinanap siya ni Simon at ng mga kasama nito, at 37nang matagpuan siya ay sinabi nila, “Hinahanap po kayo ng mga tao.”

38Ngunit sinabi niya sa kanila, “Kailangang pumunta rin tayo sa mga karatig-bayan upang makapangaral ako roon. Ito ang dahilan ng pagparito ko.”#1:38 Ito ang dahilan ng pagparito ko: o kaya'y Ito ang dahilan ng aking pag-alis sa Capernaum.

39Nilibot#Mt. 4:23; 9:35. nga ni Jesus ang buong Galilea. Nangaral siya sa kanilang mga sinagoga at nagpalayas ng mga demonyo.

Pinagaling ni Jesus ang Isang Ketongin

(Mt. 8:1-4; Lu. 5:12-16)

40Isang taong may ketong#1:40 KETONG: Ang salitang ito ay tumutukoy sa maraming uri ng sakit sa balat. ang lumapit kay Jesus. [Lumuhod ito]#1:40 Lumuhod ito: Sa ibang manuskrito'y hindi nakasulat ang mga salitang ito. at nagmakaawa, “Kung nais po ninyo, ako'y inyong mapapagaling at magagawang malinis.”

41Nahabag si Jesus sa ketongin kaya't hinawakan niya ito at sinabi, “Oo, nais ko! Gumaling ka!” 42Noon di'y nawala ang ketong ng lalaki at siya'y naging malinis. 43Matapos mapagbilinan, agad siyang pinaalis ni Jesus 44at#Lev. 14:1-32. pinagsabihan ng ganito: “Huwag mong sasabihin ito kaninuman. Sa halip ay magpunta ka at magpasuri sa pari. Pagkatapos, mag-alay ka ng handog para sa Diyos ayon sa iniutos ni Moises bilang patunay sa mga tao na ikaw ay magaling at malinis na.”

45Ngunit pagkaalis ng lalaki ay kanyang ipinamalita ang nangyari sa kanya. Dahil dito, hindi na nakapasok pa ng bayan si Jesus. Nanatili na lamang siya sa mga hindi mataong lugar, subalit pinupuntahan pa rin siya ng mga tao mula sa iba't ibang dako.
