Mark 1
1
1 The beginning of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
2 As it has been written by the prophet Isaiah: "Behold, I send my Angel before your face, who shall prepare your way before you.
3 The voice of one crying out in the desert: Prepare the way of the Lord; make straight his paths."
4 John was in the desert, baptizing and preaching a baptism of repentance, as a remission of sins.
5 And there went out to him all the region of Judea and all those of Jerusalem, and they were baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.
6 And John was clothed with camel's hair and with a leather belt around his waist. And he ate locusts and wild honey.
7 And he preached, saying: "A stronger one comes after me. I am not worthy to reach down and loosen the laces of his shoes.
8 I have baptized you with water. Yet truly, he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit."
9 And it happened that, in those days, Jesus arrived from Nazareth of Galilee. And he was baptized by John in the Jordan.
10 And immediately, upon ascending from the water, he saw the heavens opened and the Spirit, like a dove, descending, and remaining with him.
11 And there was a voice from heaven: "You are my beloved Son; in you I am well pleased."
12 And immediately the Spirit prompted him into the desert.
13 And he was in the desert for forty days and forty nights. And he was tempted by Satan. And he was with the wild animals, and the Angels ministered to him.
14 Then, after John was handed over, Jesus went into Galilee, preaching the Gospel of the kingdom of God,
15 and saying: "For the time has been fulfilled and the kingdom of God has drawn near. Repent and believe in the Gospel."
16 And passing by the shore of the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew, casting nets into the sea, for they were fishermen.
17 And Jesus said to them, "Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men."
18 And at once abandoning their nets, they followed him.
19 And continuing on a little ways from there, he saw James of Zebedee and his brother John, and they were mending their nets in a boat.
20 And immediately he called them. And leaving behind their father Zebedee in the boat with his hired hands, they followed him.
21 And they entered into Capernaum. And entering into the synagogue promptly on the Sabbaths, he taught them.
22 And they were astonished over his doctrine. For he was teaching them as one who has authority, and not like the scribes.
23 And in their synagogue, there was a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,
24 saying: "What are we to you, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are: the Holy One of God."
25 And Jesus admonished him, saying, "Be silent, and depart from the man."
26 And the unclean spirit, convulsing him and crying out with a loud voice, departed from him.
27 And they were all so amazed that they inquired among themselves, saying: "What is this? And what is this new doctrine? For with authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him."
28 And his fame went out quickly, throughout the entire region of Galilee.
29 And soon after departing from the synagogue, they went into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
30 But the mother-in-law of Simon lay ill with a fever. And at once they told him about her.
31 And drawing near to her, he raised her up, taking her by the hand. And immediately the fever left her, and she ministered to them.
32 Then, when evening arrived, after the sun had set, they brought to him all who had maladies and those who had demons.
33 And the entire city was gathered together at the door.
34 And he healed many who were troubled with various illnesses. And he cast out many demons, but he would not permit them to speak, because they knew him.
35 And rising up very early, departing, he went out to a deserted place, and there he prayed.
36 And Simon, and those who were with him, followed after him.
37 And when they had found him, they said to him, "For everyone is seeking you."
38 And he said to them: "Let us go into the neighboring towns and cities, so that I may preach there also. Indeed, it was for this reason that I came."
39 And he was preaching in their synagogues and throughout all of Galilee, and casting out demons.
40 And a leper came to him, begging him. And kneeling down, he said to him, "If you are willing, you are able to cleanse me."
41 Then Jesus, taking pity on him, reached out his hand. And touching him, he said to him: "I am willing. Be cleansed."
42 And after he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed.
43 And he admonished him, and he promptly sent him away.
44 And he said to him: "See to it that you tell no one. But go and show yourself to the high priest, and offer for your cleansing that which Moses instructed, as a testimony for them."
45 But having departed, he began to preach and to disseminate the word, so that he was no longer able to openly enter a city, but had to remain outside, in deserted places. And they were gathered to him from every direction.

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.
