Mark 1
1 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, Son of God.
The beginning of the good news of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
2 As it is written in Isaiah the Prophet, "Behold, I send my messenger before thee, who shall prepare thy way:"
As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my agent before thy face, who will prepare thy way before thee.
3 "The voice of one proclaiming in the wilderness, Prepare a way for the Lord, make for him a straight passage:"
The voice of a man crying out in the wilderness: Prepare ye the way of the Lord. Make his paths straight.
4 thus came John immersing in the wilderness, and publishing the immersion of reformation for the remission of sins.
It came to pass, that John was immersing in the wilderness and preaching an immersion of repentance for remission of sins.
5 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.
And all the land of Judea and the Jerusalemites went out to him, and they were all immersed by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.
6 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.
And John was clothed with camel's hair and a leather belt around his waist, and eating locusts and wild honey.
7 And he proclaimed, saying, One mightier than I comes after me, whose shoe-latchet I am unworthy to stoop down and untie.
And he preached, saying, A man mightier than I comes after me of whom I am not worthy, having stooped down, to loosen the strap of his shoes.
8 I, indeed, have immersed you in water; but he will immerse you in the Holy Spirit.
I indeed immersed you in water, but he will immerse you in the Holy Spirit.
9 At that time Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee to the Jordan, and was immersed by John.
And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was immersed by John in the Jordan.
10 As soon as he arose out of the water, he saw the sky part asunder, and the Spirit descend upon him like a dove.
And straightaway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens divided, and the Spirit descending upon him as a dove.
11 And a voice from heaven, which said, Thou art my Son, the beloved, in whom I delight.
And a voice occurred out of the heavens, Thou are my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
12 Immediately after this, the spirit conveyed him into the wilderness;
And straightaway the Spirit drives him forth into the wilderness.
13 and he continued in the wilderness forty days tempted by Satan; and was among the wild beasts; and the heavenly messengers ministered to him.
And he was there in the wilderness forty days tempted by Satan. And he was with the wild beasts. And the agents served him.
14 But after John's imprisonment, Jesus went to Galilee, proclaiming the good tidings of the Reign of God.
Now after John was delivered up, Jesus came into Galilee proclaiming the good news of God,
15 The time, he said, is accomplished, the Reign of God approaches; reform, and believe the good tidings.
and saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has come near. Repent ye, and believe in the good news.
16 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.
And walking beside the sea of Galilee he saw Simon and Andrew his brother, the son of Simon, casting a net in the sea, for they were fishermen.
17 Jesus said to them, Come with me, and I will cause you to be fishers of men.
And Jesus said to them, Come ye behind me, and I will make you to become fishermen of men.
18 Immediately they left their nets, and followed him.
And straightaway they left the nets, and followed him.
19 Passing on a little, and seeing James, son of Zebedee, with John his brother, who were mending their nets in a bark,
And having advanced a little from there he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who were also in the boat mending the nets.
20 he immediately called them; and leaving their father Zebedee in the bark with the hired servants, they accompanied him.
And straightaway he called them. And having left their father Zebedee in the boat with the workmen, they went behind him.
21 And they went to Capernaum; and on the Sabbath he repaired directly to the synagogue, and instructed the people,
And they entered into Capernaum, and straightaway on the sabbath day, having entered into the synagogue, he taught.
22 who were filled with admiration at his manner of teaching; for he taught as one having authority, and not as the scribes.
And they were astonished at his teaching, for he was teaching them as having authority, and not as the scholars.
23 Now there was in their synagogue a man possessed with an unclean spirit, who cried out,
And a man was in their synagogue with an unclean spirit. And he cried out,
24 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.
saying, Oh no! What is with us and with thee, Jesus of Nazareth? Did thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou are, the Holy man of God.
25 Jesus rebuking him, said, Be silent, and come out of him.
And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Be thou muzzled, and come out of him.
26 Then the unclean spirit threw him into convulsions; and, raising loud cried, came out of him:
And the unclean spirit, having convulsed him and having cried in a great voice, came out of him.
27 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.
And they were all amazed, so as to question among themselves, saying, What is this? What is this new doctrine, that he commands with authority, and the unclean spirits also obey him?
28 And thenceforth his fame spread through all the region of Galilee.
And his fame went forth straightaway into the entire region around Galilee.
29 As soon as they were come out of the synagogue, they went with James and John into the house of Simon and Andrew,
And straightaway, when they came forth out of the synagogue they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
30 where Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever, of which they immediately acquainted Jesus.
But Simon's mother-in-law lay feverish, and straightaway they tell him about her.
31 And he came, and taking her by the hand, raised her; instantly the fever left her, and she entertained them.
And upon coming, having taken hold of her hand, he raised her up and the fever left her. And straightaway she served them.
32 In the evening, after sunset, they brought to him all the sick, and the demoniacs;
And having become evening when the sun set they brought to him all who were faring badly, and those who were demon-possessed.
33 the whole city being assembled at the door.
And the whole city was gathered together near the door.
34 And he healed many persons affected with various diseases, and expelled many demons, whom he permitted not to speak, because they knew him.
And he healed many who were faring badly with various diseases, and cast out many demons. And he did not allow the demons to speak, because they had recognized him.
35 On the morrow, having risen before dawn, he went out, and retired to a solitary place, and prayed there.
And having risen early, very much in the night, he came out and departed into a desolate place, and prayed there.
36 And Simon and his company went in quest of him,
And Simon and those with him searched for him.
37 and having found him, said to him, Every person seeks you.
And having found him, they say to him, All are seeking thee.
38 Jesus said, Let us go to the neighboring boroughs, to make proclamation there also: for I came out with this design.
And he says to them, Let us go into the nearby towns, so that I may preach there also. For I came forth for this.
39 Accordingly he proclaimed in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and expelled demons.
And he was preaching in their synagogues in all Galilee, and casting out the demons.
40 And a leper came to him, and on his knees entreated him, saying, If you will, you can cleanse me.
And a leper comes to him beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying to him, If thou will thou can make me clean.
41 Jesus had compassion, and stretching out his hand and touching him, said, I will, be you clean.
And Jesus, having felt compassion, having reached out his hand, he touched him, and says to him, I will, be thou clean.
42 This he had no sooner uttered, than the leprosy departed from the man, and he was cleansed.
And after he spoke, straightaway the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed.
43 Then Jesus strictly charging him, and dismissing him,
And having strictly warned him, straightaway he sent him out.
44 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.
And he says to him, See thou say nothing to any man, but go, show thyself to the priest, and bring for thy cleansing the things that Moses commanded for a testimony to them.
45 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.
But having gone out, he began to proclaim it much, and to spread abroad the matter, so as for him to no longer be able to enter openly into a city, but was outside in desolate places. And they came to him from all directions.
