Mark 1
1 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, Son of God.
2 As it is written in Isaias the prophet: Behold I send my angel before thy face, who shall prepare the way before thee.
As it is written in Isaiah the Prophet, "Behold, I send my messenger before thee, who shall prepare thy way:"
3 A voice of one crying in the desert: Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight his paths.
"The voice of one proclaiming in the wilderness, Prepare a way for the Lord, make for him a straight passage:"
4 John was in the desert baptizing, and preaching the baptism of penance, unto remission of sins.
thus came John immersing in the wilderness, and publishing the immersion of reformation for the remission of sins.
5 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.
And all the country of Judea, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, resorted to him, and were immersed by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.
6 And John was clothed with camel’s hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and he ate locusts and wild honey.
Now John's clothing was of camel's hair, tied around his waist with a leather girdle: and he lived upon locusts and wild honey.
7 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.
And he proclaimed, saying, One mightier than I comes after me, whose shoe-latchet I am unworthy to stoop down and untie.
8 I have baptized you with water; but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost.
I, indeed, have immersed you in water; but he will immerse you in the Holy Spirit.
9 And it came to pass, in those days, Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John in the Jordan.
At that time Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee to the Jordan, and was immersed by John.
10 And forthwith coming up out of he water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit as a dove descending, and remaining on him.
As soon as he arose out of the water, he saw the sky part asunder, and the Spirit descend upon him like a dove.
11 And there came a voice from heaven: Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.
And a voice from heaven, which said, Thou art my Son, the beloved, in whom I delight.
12 And immediately the Spirit drove him out into the desert.
Immediately after this, the spirit conveyed him into the wilderness;
13 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.
and he continued in the wilderness forty days tempted by Satan; and was among the wild beasts; and the heavenly messengers ministered to him.
14 And after that John was delivered up, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,
But after John's imprisonment, Jesus went to Galilee, proclaiming the good tidings of the Reign of God.
15 And saying: The time is accomplished, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent, and believe the gospel.
The time, he said, is accomplished, the Reign of God approaches; reform, and believe the good tidings.
16 And passing by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother, casting nets into the sea (for they were fishermen).
Then walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon, and Andrew, Simon's brother, casting a drag net into the sea, for they were fishers.
17 And Jesus said to them: Come after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.
Jesus said to them, Come with me, and I will cause you to be fishers of men.
18 And immediately leaving their nets, they followed him.
Immediately they left their nets, and followed him.
19 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:
Passing on a little, and seeing James, son of Zebedee, with John his brother, who were mending their nets in a bark,
20 And forthwith he called them. And leaving their father Zebedee in the ship with his hired men, they followed him.
he immediately called them; and leaving their father Zebedee in the bark with the hired servants, they accompanied him.
21 And they entered into Capharnaum, and forthwith upon the sabbath days going into the synagogue, he taught them.
And they went to Capernaum; and on the Sabbath he repaired directly to the synagogue, and instructed the people,
22 And they were astonished at his doctrine. For he was teaching them as one having power, and not as the scribes.
who were filled with admiration at his manner of teaching; for he taught as one having authority, and not as the scribes.
23 And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,
Now there was in their synagogue a man possessed with an unclean spirit, who cried out,
24 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.
Ah! Jesus of Nazareth, what hast thou to do with us? Art thou come to destroy us? I know who thou art, the Holy One of God.
25 And Jesus threatened him, saying: Speak no more, and go out of the man.
Jesus rebuking him, said, Be silent, and come out of him.
26 And the unclean spirit tearing him, and crying out with a loud voice, went out of him.
Then the unclean spirit threw him into convulsions; and, raising loud cried, came out of him:
27 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.
at which they were all so amazed, that they asked one another, What does this mean? For he commands with authority even the unclean spirits, and they obey him.
28 And the fame of him was spread forthwith into all the country of Galilee.
And thenceforth his fame spread through all the region of Galilee.
29 And immediately going out of the synagogue they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
As soon as they were come out of the synagogue, they went with James and John into the house of Simon and Andrew,
30 And Simon’s wife’s mother lay in a fit of a fever: and forthwith they tell him of her.
where Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever, of which they immediately acquainted Jesus.
31 And coming to her, he lifted her up, taking her by the hand; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them.
And he came, and taking her by the hand, raised her; instantly the fever left her, and she entertained them.
32 And when it was evening, after sunset, they brought to him all that were ill and that were possessed with devils.
In the evening, after sunset, they brought to him all the sick, and the demoniacs;
33 And all the city was gathered together at the door.
the whole city being assembled at the door.
34 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.
And he healed many persons affected with various diseases, and expelled many demons, whom he permitted not to speak, because they knew him.
35 And rising very early, going out, he went into a desert place: and there he prayed.
On the morrow, having risen before dawn, he went out, and retired to a solitary place, and prayed there.
36 And Simon, and they that were with him, followed after him.
And Simon and his company went in quest of him,
37 And when they had found him, they said to him: All seek for thee.
and having found him, said to him, Every person seeks you.
38 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.
Jesus said, Let us go to the neighboring boroughs, to make proclamation there also: for I came out with this design.
39 And he was preaching in their synagogues, and in all Galilee, and casting out devils.
Accordingly he proclaimed in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and expelled demons.
40 And there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeling down said to him: If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
And a leper came to him, and on his knees entreated him, saying, If you will, you can cleanse me.
41 And Jesus having compassion on him, stretched forth his hand; and touching him, saith to him: I will. Be thou made clean.
Jesus had compassion, and stretching out his hand and touching him, said, I will, be you clean.
42 And when he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was made clean.
This he had no sooner uttered, than the leprosy departed from the man, and he was cleansed.
43 And he strictly charged him, and forthwith sent him away.
Then Jesus strictly charging him, and dismissing him,
44 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.
said, See you tell nothing of this to any man; but go, show yourself to the priest; and offer for your cleansing the things prescribed by Moses, that it may be notified to the people.
45 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.
But the man, as soon as he was gone, began to blaze this story, talking openly everywhere, insomuch that Jesus could no longer publicly appear in the city; but remained without in solitary places, whither the people resorted to him from all parts.
