And he cried out, 24#See Matt. 8:29 “What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? #[ver. 34; Acts 19:15; James 2:19] I know who you are—#John 6:69; Acts 3:14; Rev. 3:7; [Luke 1:35; Heb. 7:26; 1 John 2:20]the Holy One of God.” 25But Jesus #See Matt. 12:16rebuked him, saying, “Be silent, and come out of him!” 26And the unclean spirit, #ch. 9:26 convulsing him and #ch. 5:7; Acts 8:7crying out with a loud voice, came out of him. 27And they were all #[Matt. 8:27] amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, “What is this? #Acts 17:19A new teaching with authority! He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him.” 28And at once his fame spread everywhere throughout all the surrounding region of Galilee.
Jesus Heals Many
29 # For ver. 29-34, see Matt. 8:14-16; Luke 4:38-41 And immediately he#1:29 Some manuscripts they #ver. 21, 23left the synagogue and entered the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. 30Now #1 Cor. 9:5Simon’s mother-in-law lay ill with a fever, and immediately they told him about her. 31And he came and #ch. 9:27; Acts 3:7; 9:41took her by the hand and lifted her up, and the fever left her, and she began to serve them.
32That evening at sundown they brought to him all who were sick or #See Matt. 4:24oppressed by demons. 33And the whole city was gathered together at the door. 34#See Matt. 4:23 And he healed many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons. And #ch. 3:11, 12; [Acts 16:17, 18]he would not permit the demons to speak, because they knew him.

Jesus Cleanses a Leper
40 # For ver. 40-44, see Matt. 8:2-4; Luke 5:12-14 And a leper#1:40 Leprosy was a term for several skin diseases; see Leviticus 13 came to him, imploring him, and #ch. 10:17; Matt. 17:14; 27:29 kneeling said to him, #[ch. 9:22, 23; Matt. 9:28]“If you will, you can make me clean.” 41Moved with pity, he stretched out his hand and touched him and said to him, “I will; be clean.” 42And immediately the leprosy left him, and he was made clean. 43And #Matt. 9:30Jesus#1:43 Greek he; also verse 45 sternly charged him and sent him away at once, 44and said to him, #ver. 34; ch. 5:43; 7:36; 8:26; Matt. 9:30; 17:9; See Matt. 12:16 “See that you say nothing to anyone, but go, #Luke 17:14 show yourself to the priest and #Lev. 14:2-32 offer for your cleansing what Moses commanded, #ch. 6:11; Luke 9:5; James 5:3for a proof to them.” 45#ch. 7:36; Matt. 9:31; [Luke 5:15, 16] But he went out and began to talk freely about it, and to spread the news, so that Jesus could no longer openly enter #2 Cor. 11:26 a town, but was out in #2 Cor. 11:26 desolate places, and #ch. 2:2, 13; 3:7; [John 6:2]people were coming to him from every quarter.

1The Beginning of the Besuras HaGeulah (the Good News of Redemption) of Yehoshua, Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach [the] Ben HaElohim.
2Just as it has been written in Yeshayah HaNavi, HINNENI SHOLEIACH MALACHI (Behold, I send my messenger) before your face, UPINNAH DERECH LEFANAI (and he will prepare the way before me),#1:2 Ex 23:20; Mal 3:1 he will prepare your way.
3KOL KOREY BAMIDBAR#1:3 TARGUM HASHIVIM Isa 40:3 (A voice of one shouting in the wilderness): Prepare the Derech Hashem (the way of the L-rd). Make his paths yashar (straight)!
4Yochanan came with a mikveh mayim in the midbar, preaching a tevilah of teshuva for the selichat avon.
5And all Yehudah and all Yerushalayim were going out to him, and they were submitted to a tevilah using the Yarden River as a mikveh mayim, making vidduy#1:5 to Hashem of their averos (sins).
6And Yochanan had camel hair clothing and a leather belt around his waist, and his food was arbe and devash.#1:6 2Kgs 1:8; Lv 11:22
7And he was preaching, [crying out as a maggid],#1:7 for the Moshiach saying, Hu Habah (He who Comes)#1:7 i.e. Moshiach after me has more chozek (strength) than me. I am not worthy to stoop down and remove his sandals.
8I give you a tevilah in a mikveh mayim, but he#1:8 Moshiach will give you a tevilah in the Ruach Hakodesh.
9And it was during that period that Yehoshua from Natzeret of the Galil came and submitted to Yochananʼs tevilah in the mikveh mayim of the Yarden.
10And ofen ort Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach came up out of the mikveh mayim, and he saw Shomayim being torn open, the Ruach Hakodesh of Hashem descending like a yonah on him.
11And there was a bat kol out of Shomayim, ATAH BNI AHUVI ASHER BCHA CHAFATSTI (You are my Son, the beloved, with whom I am well pleased).
12Then the Ruach Hakodesh ofen ort thrusts him out into the midbar.
13And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was in the midbar arba'im yom varbaim lailah, undergoing nisyonos by HaSatan; and he was with the chayyat hassadeh#1:13 Job 5:23 (wild beasts), and the malachim were the meshartei Hashem ministering to Moshiach.
14Now after Yochanan was arrested, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach came to the Galil, darshenen (preaching) the Besuras HaGeulah of Hashem,
15And saying, The appointed time has been fulfilled and the Malchut Hashem has come near. Make teshuva, and have emunah in the Besuras HaGeulah.
16And passing along beside Sea of Galilee, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach saw Shim'on and Andrew, the brother of Shim'on, casting a reshet into the sea, for they were daiyagim (fishermen).
17And he said to them, Come, follow me,#1:17 as my talmidim and I will make you to become daiyagei adam.
18And ofen ort, leaving their nets, they followed Moshiach.
19And going on a little, he saw Ya'akov Ben Zavdai and Yochanan his brother, who were also in the sirah (boat) repairing the nets.
20And ofen ort he summoned them; and, leaving Zavdai their father in the sirah with the sachirim (hired workers), they went away to follow Moshiach.
21And they enter into K'far-Nachum, and ofen ort on Shabbos, entering into the shul, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach exercised the ministry of moreh (teacher).
22And they were astounded at Moshiachʼs torah (teaching), for he was teaching them as one having samchut, and not as the Sofrim.
23And, ofen ort, there was in their shul a man with a ruach hatameh, and he shouted,
24Saying, Yehoshua of Natzeret, mah lanu vlach? (What to us and to you?) Have you come to bring us churban (destruction)? I have daas#1:24 of the raz, secret, mystery of who you are, HaKadosh of Hashem (the Holy One of G-d).
25But he rebuked the shed, saying, Shekit! Gey zich! And come out of him.
26And, the ruach hatumah, throwing him into convulsions, let out a shrai and came out of him.
27And all were astounded so that they began to discuss with each other, saying, What is this? Torah Chadasha with samchut? He gives orders to the shedim and they obey him?
28And the besuroh (news) of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach ofen ort (immediately) went forth everywhere into the surrounding region of the Galil.
29And ofen ort (immediately), coming out of shul, they went into the bais (house) of Shim'on and Andrew with Ya'akov and Yochanan.
30And the chamot (shviger, mother-in-law) of Shim'on was bedridden and fever-stricken, and ofen ort (immediately) they tell Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach about her.
31And approaching, holding her hand, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach lifted her up, and the kaddachat#1:31 Dt 28:22 (fever) left her, and she then began functioning as their mesharetet (servant, keli kodesh, lady minister), waiting on them.
32When erev (evening) came, with the setting of the shemesh (sun), they brought to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach all the cholim (sick persons) and all those possessed by shedim (demons).
33And the whole shtetl gathered together at the delet (door).
34And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach administered refuah (healing) to many cholim (sick persons) suffering from various machlot (illnessess), and he cast out many shedim (demons). And he did not permit the shedim to give utterance, for the shedim knew the raz (mystery, secret) of his identity, that he was the Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach.
35And very early, while it was still dark, having got up, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach went out and away to a desolate place, and was davening shacharis there.
36And Shim'on and those with him searched for Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach.
37And they found Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach and they say to him, Everyone is seeking you.#1:37 Song 1:4; Hag 2:7
38And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to them, Let us go elsewhere into the neighboring shtetlach, so that also there I may preach. For it was for this [purpose, tachlis] I came.#1:38 Isa 61:1
39And he came preaching in their shuls (synagogues) and casting out shedim in [the] whole [region of] the Galil.
40And an ish metzorah (leper) comes to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach begging him and kneeling down and saying, If you are willing, you are able to make me tahor (clean).
41And being filled with rachmei Shomayim [and] stretching out his hand, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach touched [the man] and says to him, I am willing. Be made tahor.
42And ofen ort (immediately) the ish metzorah (leper) went away from Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach and he was made tahor.
43And having sternly warned him, ofen ort (immediately) Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach sent him away.
44And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to him, See [that] you say nothing to anyone, but rather go show yourself to the kohen and offer [the korban] for the tohorah (purification) of you which Moshe (Rabbeinu) gave mitzvah, for an edut (testimony) to them.#1:44 Lv 13:49; 14:1-32
45But the one having gone out began to preach many things and to spread the dvar, so that no longer was Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach able to openly enter into [the] shtetl, but he was outside in desolate places. And they were coming to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach from every direction.
