Mark 1
1 The beginning of the good news of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
The first words of the good news of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
2 As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my agent before thy face, who will prepare thy way before thee.
Even as it is said in the book of Isaiah the prophet, See, I send my servant before your face, who will make ready your way;
3 The voice of a man crying out in the wilderness: Prepare ye the way of the Lord. Make his paths straight.
The voice of one crying in the waste land, Make ready the way of the Lord, make his roads straight;
4 It came to pass, that John was immersing in the wilderness and preaching an immersion of repentance for remission of sins.
John came, and gave baptism in the waste land, preaching baptism as a sign of forgiveness of sin for those whose hearts were changed.
5 And all the land of Judea and the Jerusalemites went out to him, and they were all immersed by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.
And there went out to him all the people of Judaea, and all those of Jerusalem, and they were given baptism by him in the river Jordan, saying that they were sinners.
6 And John was clothed with camel's hair and a leather belt around his waist, and eating locusts and wild honey.
And John was clothed in camel's hair, with a leather band about him; and his food was locusts and honey.
7 And he preached, saying, A man mightier than I comes after me of whom I am not worthy, having stooped down, to loosen the strap of his shoes.
And he said to them all, There is one coming after me who is greater than I, whose shoes I am not good enough to undo.
8 I indeed immersed you in water, but he will immerse you in the Holy Spirit.
I have given you baptism with water, but he will give you baptism with the Holy Spirit.
9 And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was immersed by John in the Jordan.
And it came about in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was given baptism by John in the Jordan.
10 And straightaway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens divided, and the Spirit descending upon him as a dove.
And straight away, coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens broken open and the Spirit coming down on him as a dove:
11 And a voice occurred out of the heavens, Thou are my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
And a voice came out of heaven, You are my dearly loved Son, with whom I am well pleased.
12 And straightaway the Spirit drives him forth into the wilderness.
And straight away the Spirit sent him out into the waste land.
13 And he was there in the wilderness forty days tempted by Satan. And he was with the wild beasts. And the agents served him.
And he was in the waste land for forty days, being tested by Satan; and he was with the beasts; and the angels took care of him.
14 Now after John was delivered up, Jesus came into Galilee proclaiming the good news of God,
Now after John had been put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the good news of God,
15 and saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has come near. Repent ye, and believe in the good news.
And saying, The time has come, and the kingdom of God is near: let your hearts be turned from sin and have faith in the good news.
16 And walking beside the sea of Galilee he saw Simon and Andrew his brother, the son of Simon, casting a net in the sea, for they were fishermen.
And going by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon, and Andrew, the brother of Simon, putting a net into the sea: for they were fishermen.
17 And Jesus said to them, Come ye behind me, and I will make you to become fishermen of men.
And Jesus said to them, Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.
18 And straightaway they left the nets, and followed him.
And they went straight from their nets, and came after him.
19 And having advanced a little from there he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who were also in the boat mending the nets.
And going on a little farther, he saw James, the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who were in their boat stitching up their nets.
20 And straightaway he called them. And having left their father Zebedee in the boat with the workmen, they went behind him.
And he said, Come after me: and they went away from their father Zebedee, who was in the boat with the servants, and came after him.
21 And they entered into Capernaum, and straightaway on the sabbath day, having entered into the synagogue, he taught.
And they came to Capernaum; and on the Sabbath he went into the Synagogue and gave teaching.
22 And they were astonished at his teaching, for he was teaching them as having authority, and not as the scholars.
And they were full of wonder at his teaching, because he gave it as one having authority, and not like the scribes.
23 And a man was in their synagogue with an unclean spirit. And he cried out,
And there was in their Synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he gave a cry,
24 saying, Oh no! What is with us and with thee, Jesus of Nazareth? Did thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou are, the Holy man of God.
Saying, What have we to do with you, Jesus of Nazareth? have you come to put an end to us? I see well who you are, the Holy One of God.
25 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Be thou muzzled, and come out of him.
And Jesus said to him sharply, Be quiet, and come out of him.
26 And the unclean spirit, having convulsed him and having cried in a great voice, came out of him.
And the unclean spirit, shaking him violently, and crying with a loud voice, came out of him.
27 And they were all amazed, so as to question among themselves, saying, What is this? What is this new doctrine, that he commands with authority, and the unclean spirits also obey him?
And they were all greatly surprised, so that they put questions to one another, saying, What is this? a new teaching! with authority he gives orders even to the unclean spirits, and they do what he says.
28 And his fame went forth straightaway into the entire region around Galilee.
And news of him went out quickly everywhere into all parts of Galilee round about.
29 And straightaway, when they came forth out of the synagogue they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
And when they came out of the Synagogue, they went into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
30 But Simon's mother-in-law lay feverish, and straightaway they tell him about her.
Now Simon's wife's mother was ill, with a burning heat; and they gave him word of her:
31 And upon coming, having taken hold of her hand, he raised her up and the fever left her. And straightaway she served them.
And he came and took her by the hand, lifting her up; and she became well, and took care of their needs.
32 And having become evening when the sun set they brought to him all who were faring badly, and those who were demon-possessed.
And in the evening, at sundown, they took to him all who were diseased, and those who had evil spirits.
33 And the whole city was gathered together near the door.
And all the town had come together at the door.
34 And he healed many who were faring badly with various diseases, and cast out many demons. And he did not allow the demons to speak, because they had recognized him.
And a number, who were ill with different diseases, he made well, and sent out evil spirits; but he did not let the evil spirits say anything, because they had knowledge of him.
35 And having risen early, very much in the night, he came out and departed into a desolate place, and prayed there.
And in the morning, a long time before daylight, he got up and went out to a quiet place, and there he gave himself up to prayer.
36 And Simon and those with him searched for him.
And Simon and those who were with him came after him.
37 And having found him, they say to him, All are seeking thee.
And when they came up with him, they said to him, Everyone is looking for you.
38 And he says to them, Let us go into the nearby towns, so that I may preach there also. For I came forth for this.
And he said to them, Let us go to other parts into the nearest towns, so that I may give teaching there, because for this purpose I came.
39 And he was preaching in their synagogues in all Galilee, and casting out the demons.
And he went into their Synagogues in every part of Galilee, preaching and driving out evil spirits.
40 And a leper comes to him beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying to him, If thou will thou can make me clean.
And a leper came to him and, going down on his knees before him, made a request, saying, If it is your pleasure, you have the power to make me clean.
41 And Jesus, having felt compassion, having reached out his hand, he touched him, and says to him, I will, be thou clean.
And being moved with pity, he put out his hand, and touching him said to him, It is my pleasure; be made clean.
42 And after he spoke, straightaway the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed.
And straight away the disease went from him, and he was made clean.
43 And having strictly warned him, straightaway he sent him out.
And he sent him away, saying to him very sharply,
44 And he says to him, See thou say nothing to any man, but go, show thyself to the priest, and bring for thy cleansing the things that Moses commanded for a testimony to them.
See that you say nothing to any man: but go and let the priest see you, and make yourself clean by an offering of the things ordered by Moses, for a witness to them.
45 But having gone out, he began to proclaim it much, and to spread abroad the matter, so as for him to no longer be able to enter openly into a city, but was outside in desolate places. And they came to him from all directions.
But he went out, and made it public, giving an account of it everywhere, so that Jesus was no longer able to go openly into a town, but was outside in the waste land; and they came to him from every part.
