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 the prophets, "Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee:"
3 “A voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for Him.’”
and again, "The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight:" accordingly John came baptizing in the wilderness,
4 John the Baptist appeared in the wilderness, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.
and preaching the baptism of repentance in order to the 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 all the country of Judea, and those of Jerusalem, went out to him, and were all baptized by him in the river 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 camels hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins, and he lived upon locusts and wild honey: and he preached,
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.
saying, There cometh after me one mightier than I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop and unloose.
8 I baptize you with water, but He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.”
I indeed have baptized you with water, but He will baptize you with the holy Spirit.
9 In those days Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan.
And in those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John in 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 as soon as He came up from the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon Him.
11 And a voice came from heaven: “You are My beloved Son; in You I am well pleased.”
And there was a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
12 At once the Spirit drove Jesus into the wilderness,
And immediately the Spirit taketh Him out into the wilderness:
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 there in the wilderness forty days tempted by Satan, and among the wild beasts: and angels ministred unto Him.
14 After the arrest of John, Jesus went into Galilee and proclaimed the gospel of God.
Now after John was cast into prison, 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 fulfilled, 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 as He was walking by the sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea,
17 “Come, follow Me,” Jesus said, “and I will make you fishers of men.”
(for they were fishermen, ) and Jesus said unto them, Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men:
18 And at once they left their nets and followed Him.
and immediately they left their nets and 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 a little farther, He saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship, mending their nets, and immediately called them likewise:
20 Immediately Jesus called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men and followed Him.
and they left their father Zebedee in the ship with the men he had hired, and went along with 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 went into Capernaum: and going directly into the synagogue on the sabbath, He taught the people: and they were astonished at his doctrine;
22 The people were astonished at His teaching, because He taught as one who had authority, and not as the scribes.
for He taught them as one that had authority, 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 impure spirit,
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!”
and he cried out, saying, Let us alone, what have we to do with thee, Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee, who thou art, the holy one of God.
25 But Jesus rebuked the spirit. “Be silent!” He said. “Come out of him!”
And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Be silent, and come out of him: and the impure spirit threw him into convulsions,
26 At this, the unclean spirit threw the man into convulsions and came out with a loud shriek.
and roaring with a loud voice, came 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, so that they inquired of each other, saying, What is this, what new kind of doctrine is this? for He commands with authority even the impure spirits, and they obey Him.
28 And the news about Jesus spread quickly through the whole region of Galilee.
And straitway his fame spread into all the country round about 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 as soon as they came out of the synagogue, they went into the house of Simon and Andrew, together 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 sick of a fever: and they immediately told 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 He came to her, and taking her by the hand raised her up; and immediately the fever left her, and she waited upon them.
32 That evening, after sunset, people brought to Jesus all who were sick and demon-possessed,
And in the evening, when the sun set, they brought to Him all that were ill, and demoniacs:
33 and the whole town gathered at the door.
and the whole 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 ill of various diseases, and cast out many devils, and suffered not the devils to say that 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 in the morning, before it was light, He rose up and went out, and retired into a solitary place, and there prayed.
36 Simon and his companions went to look for Him,
And Simon, and they that were with him, went in quest of Him:
37 and when they found Him, they said, “Everyone is looking for You!”
and when they found Him, they said to Him, all the people are seeking 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 unto them, Let us go into the neighbouring towns, that I may preach there also; for this was the end of my coming.
39 So He went throughout Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and driving out demons.
And He went preaching in their synagogues, through 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 to Him a leper, beseeching Him, and kneeling down to Him, and saying unto Him, If thou wilt, thou canst cleanse me:
41 Moved with compassion, Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” He said. “Be clean!”
and Jesus, being moved with compassion, stretched out his hand and touched him, and saith unto Him, I will;
42 And immediately the leprosy left him, and the man was cleansed.
be thou healed: and as soon as He had spoken, immediately the leprosy left him, and he was healed.
43 Jesus promptly sent him away with a stern warning:
And he gave him a strict charge, and immediately dismissed him,
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 saith unto him, See thou tell no man: but go, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy purification what Moses has 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 when he was gone he began to publish it much, and to spread abroad the report: so that Jesus could no more go openly into the city, but kept out in country places: and they came to Him from all parts.
