Mark 1
1 THE beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God;
Beginning of the glad-message of Jesus Christ.
2 as it is written in the prophets; “Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, he shall prepare thy way before thee.
According as it is written in Isaiah the prophet—Lo! I send my messenger before thy face, Who shall prepare thy way, —
3 The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths strait.”
A voice of one crying aloud—In the wilderness, prepare ye the way of the Lord, straight, be making his paths.
4 John was baptising in the wilderness, and preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.
John the Immerser came, in the wilderness, proclaiming an immersion of repentance for remission of sins;
5 And all the country of Judea went out to him, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptised by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.
and there were going out unto him all the Judaea country and all they of Jerusalem, and were being immersed by him in the Jordan river, openly confessing their sins;
6 Now John was clothed with a camel’s hair garment, and a girdle of leather about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey.
and John was clothed with camel’s-hair and a leathern girdle about his loins, and was eating locusts and wild honey;
7 And he preached, saying, One mightier than I is coming after me, the string of whose shoes I am not worthy, stooping down, to unloose.
and he proclaimed, saying—He that is mightier than I cometh after [me], of whom I am not worthy to stoop and unloose the strap of his sandals:
8 I indeed baptise you with water; but he shall baptise you with the Holy Ghost.
I, have immersed you, with water, —He, will immerse you, with the Holy Spirit.
9 And it came to pass in those days, Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee, and was baptised of John in Jordan.
And it came to pass, in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was immersed into the Jordan by John;
10 And immediately on going up from the water, he saw the heavens divided by a chasm, and the Spirit as a dove descending upon him:
And, straightway, as he was coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens rending asunder, and, the Spirit, as a dove, descending unto him;
11 and a voice came from heaven, Thou art my beloved Son, in thee I am well pleased.
and a voice [came] out of the heavens—Thou, art my Son, the Beloved, —In thee, I delight.
12 And immediately the Spirit impelled him to go into the wilderness.
And, straightway, the Spirit urgeth him forth into the wilderness;
13 And he was in the wilderness forty days, tempted by Satan; and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministred unto him.
and he was in the wilderness, forty days, tempted by Satan, and was with the wild beasts, —and, the messengers, were ministering unto him.
14 But after John was delivered up, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God:
And after John was delivered up, Jesus came into Galilee, proclaiming the glad-message of God,
15 and saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God draweth nigh: repent, and believe the gospel.
[and saying]—The season is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God hath drawn near, —Repent ye, and have faith in the glad-message.
16 And as he walked near the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen.
And, passing by near the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon, and Andrew the brother of Simon, casting a net in the sea, —for they were fishers;
17 And Jesus said to them, Come after me, and I will appoint you to be fishers of men:
and Jesus said unto them—Come after me, and I will make you become fishers of men;
18 and immediately leaving their nets, they followed him.
and, straightway, leaving the nets, they followed him.
19 And going from thence a little farther, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, and others in the vessel mending the nets.
And, going forward a little, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, and them who were in the boat putting in order the nets;
20 And immediately he called them: and leaving their father Zebedee in the vessel with the hirelings, they went after him.
and, straightway, he called them, —and, leaving their father Zebedee in the boat, with the hired men, they came away after him.
21 And they entered into Capernaum; and immediately on the sabbath going into the synagogue, he taught.
And they journey into Capernaum. And, straightway, on the Sabbath, entering into the synagogue, he began teaching;
22 And they were struck with astonishment at his doctrine; for he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.
and they were being struck with astonishment at his teaching, —for he was teaching them 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,
And, straightway, there was in their synagogue, a man in an impure spirit, —and he cried out aloud,
24 saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.
saying—What have we in common with thee, Jesus of Nazareth? Hast thou come to destroy us? I know thee, who thou art, The Holy One of God.
25 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Be silent, and come out of him.
And Jesus rebuked him, [saying]—Be silenced, and come forth out of him!
26 And the unclean spirit threw him into convulsions, and crying with a loud voice, came out of him.
And the impure spirit, tearing him, and calling out with a loud voice, came forth out of him;
27 And they were all in astonishment, so that they questioned one another, saying, What is this? what is this new doctrine? that with authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him?
and they were amazed, one and all, so that they began to discuss among themselves, saying—What is this? New teaching! With authority, to the impure spirits also, he giveth orders, and they obey him!
28 And there went out a report of him immediately into all the region of Galilee round about.
And forth went the report of him, straightway, on every hand, into the surrounding country of Galilee.
29 Then straitway going out of the synagogue, they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
And, straightway, out of the synagogue, going forth, he went unto the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
30 But Simon’s wife’s mother lay in a fever, and immediately they informed him of her.
Now, the mother-in-law of Simon, was lying in a fever, and, straightway, they speak to him concerning her;
31 And he came and raised her up, and the fever left her immediately, and she waited upon them.
and, coming near, he raised her up, grasping her hand, —and the fever left her, and she began ministering unto them.
32 But when the evening was come, after the sun was set, they brought unto him all that had illnesses, and the demoniacs.
And, evening arriving, when the sun went in, they were bearing unto him all who were sick, and them who were demonized;
33 And the whole city was gathered together about the door;
and all the city was gathered unto the door;
34 and he healed many who were grievously afflicted with a variety of diseases; and he cast out many devils; and suffered not the devils to speak for they knew him.
and he cured many that were sick with divers diseases, and, many demons, he cast out, and suffered not the demons to be talking, —because they knew him [to be Christ].
35 And very early (the night being far advanced towards morning) rising up, he went forth, and retired into a desert place, and there prayed.
And, very early by night arising, he went out [and departed] into a desert place, and, there, was praying;
36 And Simon, and those who were with him, eagerly pursued him;
and Simon, and they who were with him, went in quest of him,
37 and when they had found him, they say unto him, All men are inquiring after thee.
and found him, and say unto him—All, are seeking thee;
38 And he said unto them, Let us go into the neighbouring towns, that I may preach there also; for unto this purpose came I forth.
and he saith unto them—Let us be going elsewhere, into the neighbouring country-towns, in order that, there also, I may be making proclamation, —for, to this end, came I forth;
39 And he was preaching in their synagogues, through all Galilee, and casting out devils.
and he came, making proclamation, into their synagogues, throughout the whole of Galilee, —and, was casting the demons out.
40 And there came to him a leper, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
And there cometh unto him, a leper, beseeching him and [kneeling], —saying unto him—If thou be willing, thou canst cleanse me;
41 Then Jesus, moved with compassion, stretching out his hand, touched him, and said to him, I will; be thou cleansed.
and, moved with compassion, he stretched forth the hand, and touched him, and saith unto him—I am willing, Be cleansed!
42 And as he spake, the leprosy instantly departed from him, and he was cleansed.
and, straightway, the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed;
43 And giving him a strict charge, he immediately sent him away;
and, strictly charging him, straightway, he urged him forth;
44 and said to him, Take care, that thou speak not a word to any man: but go, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy purification, what Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.
and saith unto him—Mind! unto no one, say aught, —but withdraw, thyself, show unto the priest, and offer for thy cleansing what things Moses enjoined, for a witness unto them.
45 But he going out, began to proclaim it much, and to publish abroad an account of it, so that he could no more openly come into the city; but was without in desert places; and they came to him from all parts of the country.
But, he, going forth, began to be proclaiming many things, and blazing abroad the story, so that, no longer, was it possible for him, openly, into a city, to enter, —but, outside, in desert places, [was he], and they were coming unto him from every quarter.
