Mark 1
- 1The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
- 2As it is written in the prophets, I send my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way before you.
- 3The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
- 4John baptized in the wilderness, and preached the baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.
- 5All the land of Judea went out to him, and the people of Jerusalem, and they were all baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.
- 6John was clothed with camel's hair, and with a leather belt around his waist. He ate locusts and wild honey.
- 7And he preached, saying, After me comes one mightier than I, the strap of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and untie.
- 8I have baptized you with water, but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.
- 9In those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John in the Jordan.
- 10And immediately coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending on him.
- 11And a voice came from heaven, saying, You are my beloved Son. I am well pleased with you.
- 12And immediately the Spirit drives him into the wilderness.
- 13He was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted by Satan. He was with the wild beasts, and the angels served him.
- 14Now after John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,
- 15Saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is near. Repent, and believe the gospel.
- 16Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea. They were fishermen.
- 17And Jesus said to them, Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.
- 18And immediately they left their nets, and followed him.
- 19And when 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. They left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, and went after him.
- 21They went into Capernaum. Immediately on the sabbath day he entered the synagogue, and taught.
- 22They were astonished at his teaching. He taught them as one who had authority, and not as the scribes.
- 23And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit, and he cried out,
- 24Saying, Leave us alone. What have we to do with you, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are, the Holy One of God.
- 25And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Be silent, and come out of him.
- 26And when the unclean spirit had shaken him violently, and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him.
- 27They were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, What is this? What new teaching is this? With authority he even commands the unclean spirits, and they obey him.
- 28And immediately his fame spread throughout all the region around Galilee.
- 29And immediately, when they had come out of the synagogue, they entered into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
- 30But Simon's wife's mother lay sick with a fever, and immediately they told him about her.
- 31He came and took her by the hand, and lifted her up. Immediately the fever left her, and she served them.
- 32And in the evening, when the sun had set, they brought to him all who were sick, and those who were possessed with demons.
- 33And all the city was gathered together at the door.
- 34He healed many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons. He did not let the demons speak, because they knew him.
- 35And in the morning, getting up long before daybreak, he went out to a solitary place, and there prayed.
- 36And Simon and those who were with him followed after him.
- 37And when they had found him, they said to him, Everyone is looking for you.
- 38And he said to them, Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also. That is why I came out.
- 39And he preached in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and cast out demons.
- 40A leper came to him, begging him, kneeling down, and saying, If you are willing, you can make me clean.
- 41And Jesus, moved with compassion, stretched out his hand, touched him, and says to him, I am willing. Be clean.
- 42And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy left him, and he was cleansed.
- 43He strictly charged him, and immediately sent him away.
- 44And he says to him, See that you say nothing to anyone. Go your way, show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing what Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.
- 45But he went out and began to spread it widely, and to tell the matter everywhere, so that Jesus could no longer openly enter the city, but stayed outside in deserted places. And they came to him from every direction.
