1:1 The beginning of the good news of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
1:2 Even as it is written in Isaiah the prophet, Look, I send my messenger before your face, Who will prepare your way; 1:3 The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make+ ready the way of Yahweh, Make his paths straight; 1:4 John the Baptist came in the wilderness and was preaching a baptism of repentance to remission of sins. 1:5 And all the country of Judea, and all those of Jerusalem went out to him; and they were baptized of him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins. 1:6 And John was clothed with camel's hair, and [had] a leather loincloth about his loins, and ate locusts and wild honey. 1:7 And he preached, saying, There comes after me he who is mightier than I, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose. 1:8 I baptized you+ in water; but he will baptize you+ in the Holy Spirit. 1:9 And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in the Jordan. 1:10 And immediately coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens rent apart, and the Spirit as a dove descending on him: 1:11 and a voice came out of the heavens, You are my beloved Son, in you I am well pleased. 1:12 And right away the Spirit drives him forth into the wilderness. 1:13 And he was in the wilderness forty days tried by Satan; and he was with the wild beasts; and the angels were serving him. 1:14 Now after John was delivered up, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the good news of God, 1:15 and saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent+, and believe+ in the good news. 1:16 And passing along by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew the brother of Simon casting a net in the sea; for they were fishers. 1:17 And Jesus said to them, Come+ after me, and I will make you+ to become fishers of men. 1:18 And immediately they left the nets, and followed him. 1:19 And going on a little further, he saw James the [son] of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the boat preparing the nets. 1:20 And immediately he called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired workers, and went after him. 1:21 And they go into Capernaum; and right away on the Sabbath day he entered into the synagogue and taught. 1:22 And they were astonished at his teaching: for he taught them as having authority, and not as the scribes. 1:23 And right away there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out, 1:24 saying, What do we have to do with you, Jesus you Nazarene? Have you come to destroy us? I know you who you are, the Holy One of God. 1:25 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold your peace, and come out of him. 1:26 And the unclean spirit, tearing him and crying with a loud voice, came out of him. 1:27 And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What is this? A new teaching! With authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him. 1:28 And the report of him went out right away everywhere into all the region around Galilee. 1:29 And right away, when they had come out of the synagogue, they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. 1:30 Now Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever; and right away they tell him of her: 1:31 and he came and took her by the hand, and raised her up; and the fever left her, and she served them. 1:32 And at evening, when the sun set, they brought to him all who were sick, and those who were possessed with demons. 1:33 And all the city was gathered together at the door. 1:34 And he healed many who were sick with diverse diseases, and cast out many demons; and he didn't allow the demons to speak, because they knew him. 1:35 And in the morning, a great while before day, he rose up and went out, and departed into a desert place, and there prayed. 1:36 And Simon and those who were with him followed after him; 1:37 and they found him, and say to him, All are seeking you. 1:38 And he says to them, Let us go elsewhere into the next towns, that I may preach there also; for to this end I came forth. 1:39 And he went into their synagogues throughout all Galilee, preaching and casting out demons. 1:40 And there comes to him a leper, imploring him, and kneeling down, and saying to him, If you will, you can make me clean. 1:41 And being moved with compassion, he stretched forth his hand, and touched him, and says to him, I will; be made clean. 1:42 And immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was made clean. 1:43 And he strictly charged him, and immediately sent him out, 1:44 and says to him, See [that] you say nothing to any man: but go show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing the things which Moses commanded, for a testimony to them. 1:45 But he went out, and began to publish it much, and to spread abroad the matter, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly enter into a city, but was outside in desert places: and they came to him from every quarter. |
