Mark 1
1
1Beginning of the glad tidings of Jesus Christ, Son of God; 2as it is written in Isaiah the prophet, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way. 3Voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. 4There came John baptising in the wilderness, and preaching the baptism of repentance for remission of sins. 5And there went out to him all the district of Judaea, and all they of Jerusalem, and were baptised by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins. 6And John was clothed in camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins, and ate locusts and wild honey. 7And he preached, saying, There comes he that is mightier than I after me, the thong of whose sandals I am not fit to stoop down and unloose. 8I indeed have baptised you with water, but he shall baptise you with the Holy Spirit.
9And it came to pass in those days that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptised by John at the Jordan. 10And straightway going up from the water, he saw the heavens parting asunder, and the Spirit, as a dove, descending upon him. 11And there came a voice out of the heavens: Thou art my beloved Son, in thee I have found my delight. 12And immediately the Spirit drives him out into the wilderness. 13And he was in the wilderness forty days tempted by Satan, and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered to him.
14But after John was delivered up, Jesus came into Galilee preaching the glad tidings of the kingdom of God, 15and saying, The time is fulfilled and the kingdom of God has drawn nigh; repent and believe in the glad tidings. 16And walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon, and Andrew, Simon's brother, casting out a net in the sea, for they were fishers. 17And Jesus said to them, Come after me, and I will make you become fishers of men; 18and straightway leaving their trawl-nets they followed him. 19And going on thence a little, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, and these were in the ship repairing the trawl-nets; 20and straightway he called them; and leaving their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants, they went away after him. 21And they go into Capernaum. And straightway on the sabbath he entered into the synagogue and taught. 22And they were astonished at his doctrine, for he taught them as having authority, and not as the scribes.
23And there was in their synagogue a man possessed by an unclean spirit, and he cried out 24saying, Eh! what have we to do with thee, Jesus, Nazarene? 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, having torn him, and uttered a cry with a loud voice, came out of him. 27And all were amazed, so that they questioned together among themselves, saying, What is this? what new doctrine is this? for with authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him. 28And his fame went out straightway into the whole region of Galilee around.
29And straightway going out of the synagogue, they came with James and John into the house of Simon and Andrew. 30And the mother-in-law of Simon lay in a fever. And straightway they speak to him about her. 31And he went up to her and raised her up, having taken her by the hand, and straightway the fever left her, and she served them. 32But evening being come, when the sun had gone down, they brought to him all that were suffering, and those possessed by demons; 33and the whole city was gathered together at the door. 34And he healed many suffering from various diseases; and he cast out many demons, and did not suffer the demons to speak because they knew him. 35And rising in the morning long before day, he went out and went away into a desert place, and there prayed. 36And Simon and those with him went after him: 37and having found him, they say to him, All seek thee. 38And he says to them, Let us go elsewhere into the neighbouring country towns, that I may preach there also, for for this purpose am I come forth. 39And he was preaching in their synagogues in the whole of Galilee, and casting out demons.
40And there comes to him a leper, beseeching him, and falling on his knees to him, and saying to him, If thou wilt thou canst cleanse me. 41But Jesus, moved with compassion, having stretched out his hand, touched him, and says to him, I will, be thou cleansed. 42And as he spoke straightway the leprosy left him, and he was cleansed. 43And having sharply charged him, he straightway sent him away, 44and says to him, See thou say nothing to any one, but go, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing what Moses ordained, for a testimony to them. 45But he, having gone forth, began to proclaim it much, and to spread the matter abroad, so that he could no longer enter openly into the city, but was without in desert places, and they came to him from every side.

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.
