Mark 1
1 This is the beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
2 As it is written in Isaiah the prophet: “Behold, I will send My messenger ahead of You, who will prepare Your way.”
As it is written in Isaias the prophet: Behold I send my angel before thy face, who shall prepare the way before thee.
3 “A voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for Him.’”
A voice of one crying in the desert: Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight his paths.
4 John the Baptist appeared in the wilderness, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.
John was in the desert baptizing, and preaching the baptism of penance, unto remission of sins.
5 People went out to him from all of Jerusalem and the countryside of Judea. Confessing their sins, they were baptized by him in the Jordan River.
And there went out to him all the country of Judea, and all they of Jerusalem, and were baptized by him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins.
6 John was clothed in camel’s hair, with a leather belt around his waist. His food was locusts and wild honey.
And John was clothed with camel’s hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and he ate locusts and wild honey.
7 And he began to proclaim: “After me will come One more powerful than I, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie.
And he preached, saying: There cometh after me one mightier than I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and loose.
8 I baptize you with water, but He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.”
I have baptized you with water; but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost.
9 In those days Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan.
And it came to pass, in those days, Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John in the Jordan.
10 As soon as Jesus came up out of the water, He saw the heavens breaking open and the Spirit descending on Him like a dove.
And forthwith coming up out of he water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit as a dove descending, and remaining on him.
11 And a voice came from heaven: “You are My beloved Son; in You I am well pleased.”
And there came a voice from heaven: Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.
12 At once the Spirit drove Jesus into the wilderness,
And immediately the Spirit drove him out into the desert.
13 and He was there for forty days, being tempted by Satan. He was with the wild animals, and the angels ministered to Him.
And he was in the desert forty days and forty nights, and was tempted by Satan; and he was with beasts, and the angels ministered to him.
14 After the arrest of John, Jesus went into Galilee and proclaimed the gospel of God.
And after that John was delivered up, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,
15 “The time is fulfilled,” He said, “and the kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe in the gospel!”
And saying: The time is accomplished, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent, and believe the gospel.
16 As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen.
And passing by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother, casting nets into the sea (for they were fishermen).
17 “Come, follow Me,” Jesus said, “and I will make you fishers of men.”
And Jesus said to them: Come after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.
18 And at once they left their nets and followed Him.
And immediately leaving their nets, they followed him.
19 Going on a little farther, He saw James son of Zebedee and his brother John. They were in a boat, mending their nets.
And going on from thence a little farther, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were mending their nets in the ship:
20 Immediately Jesus called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men and followed Him.
And forthwith he called them. And leaving their father Zebedee in the ship with his hired men, they followed him.
21 Then Jesus and His companions went to Capernaum, and right away Jesus entered the synagogue on the Sabbath and began to teach.
And they entered into Capharnaum, and forthwith upon the sabbath days going into the synagogue, he taught them.
22 The people were astonished at His teaching, because He taught as one who had authority, and not as the scribes.
And they were astonished at his doctrine. For he was teaching them as one having power, and not as the scribes.
23 Suddenly a man with an unclean spirit cried out in the synagogue:
And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,
24 “What do You want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are—the Holy One of God!”
Saying: What have we to do with thee, Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know who thou art, the Holy One of God.
25 But Jesus rebuked the spirit. “Be silent!” He said. “Come out of him!”
And Jesus threatened him, saying: Speak no more, and go out of the man.
26 At this, the unclean spirit threw the man into convulsions and came out with a loud shriek.
And the unclean spirit tearing him, and crying out with a loud voice, went out of him.
27 All the people were amazed and began to ask one another, “What is this? A new teaching with authority! He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey Him!”
And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying: What thing is this? what is this new doctrine? for with power he commandeth even the unclean spirits, and they obey him.
28 And the news about Jesus spread quickly through the whole region of Galilee.
And the fame of him was spread forthwith into all the country of Galilee.
29 As soon as Jesus and His companions had left the synagogue, they went with James and John to the home of Simon and Andrew.
And immediately going out of the synagogue they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
30 Simon’s mother-in-law was sick in bed with a fever, and they promptly told Jesus about her.
And Simon’s wife’s mother lay in a fit of a fever: and forthwith they tell him of her.
31 So He went to her, took her by the hand, and helped her up. The fever left her, and she began to serve them.
And coming to her, he lifted her up, taking her by the hand; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them.
32 That evening, after sunset, people brought to Jesus all who were sick and demon-possessed,
And when it was evening, after sunset, they brought to him all that were ill and that were possessed with devils.
33 and the whole town gathered at the door.
And all the city was gathered together at the door.
34 And He healed many who were ill with various diseases and drove out many demons. But He would not allow the demons to speak, because they knew who He was.
And he healed many that were troubled with divers diseases; and he cast out many devils, and he suffered them not to speak, because they knew him.
35 Early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up and slipped out to a solitary place to pray.
And rising very early, going out, he went into a desert place: and there he prayed.
36 Simon and his companions went to look for Him,
And Simon, and they that were with him, followed after him.
37 and when they found Him, they said, “Everyone is looking for You!”
And when they had found him, they said to him: All seek for thee.
38 But Jesus answered, “Let us go on to the neighboring towns so I can preach there as well, for that is why I have come.”
And he saith to them: Let us go into the neighbouring towns and cities, that I may preach there also; for to this purpose am I come.
39 So He went throughout Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and driving out demons.
And he was preaching in their synagogues, and in all Galilee, and casting out devils.
40 Then a leper came to Jesus, begging on his knees: “If You are willing, You can make me clean.”
And there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeling down said to him: If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
41 Moved with compassion, Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” He said. “Be clean!”
And Jesus having compassion on him, stretched forth his hand; and touching him, saith to him: I will. Be thou made clean.
42 And immediately the leprosy left him, and the man was cleansed.
And when he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was made clean.
43 Jesus promptly sent him away with a stern warning:
And he strictly charged him, and forthwith sent him away.
44 “See that you don’t tell anyone. But go, show yourself to the priest and present the offering Moses prescribed for your cleansing, as a testimony to them.”
And he saith to him: See thou tell no one; but go, shew thyself to the high priest, and offer for thy cleansing the things that Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.
45 But the man went out and openly began to proclaim and spread the news. Consequently, Jesus could no longer enter a town in plain view, but He stayed out in solitary places. Yet people came to Him from every quarter.
But he being gone out, began to publish and to blaze abroad the word: so that he could not openly go into the city, but was without in desert places: and they flocked to him from all sides.
