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.

19When He had gone a little farther from there, He saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the boat mending their nets. 20And immediately He called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, and went after Him.

21#Matt. 4:13; Luke 4:31–37Then they went into Capernaum, and immediately on the Sabbath He entered the #Ps. 22:22; Matt. 4:23; Luke 4:16; 13:10synagogue and taught. 22#Matt. 7:28, 29; 13:54And they were astonished at His teaching, for He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.
23Now there was a man in their synagogue with an #(Matt. 12:43); Mark 5:2; 7:25; Luke 4:33unclean spirit. And he cried out, 24saying, “Let us alone! #Matt. 8:28, 29; Mark 5:7, 8; Luke 8:28What have we to do with You, Jesus of Nazareth? Did You come to destroy us? I #Mark 3:11; Luke 4:41; James 2:19know who You are—the #Ps. 16:10Holy One of God!”
25But Jesus #(Luke 4:39)rebuked him, saying, “Be quiet, and come out of him!” 26And when the unclean spirit #Mark 9:20had convulsed him and cried out with a loud voice, he came out of him. 27Then they were all amazed, so that they questioned 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 immediately His #Matt. 4:24; 9:31fame spread throughout all the region around Galilee.

29#Matt. 8:14, 15; Luke 4:38, 39Now as soon as they had come out of the synagogue, they entered the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. 30But Simon’s wife’s mother lay sick with a fever, and they told Him about her at once. 31So He came and took her by the hand and lifted her up, and immediately the fever left her.

38But He said to them, #Luke 4:43“Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also, because #(Is. 61:1, 2; Mark 10:45; John 16:28; 17:4, 8)for this purpose I have come forth.”

45#Matt. 28:15; Luke 5:15However, he went out and began to proclaim it freely, and to spread the matter, so that Jesus could no longer openly enter the city, but was outside in deserted places; #Mark 2:2, 13; 3:7; Luke 5:17; John 6:2and they came to Him from every direction.
