2 even as it is written in the prophet Isaiah, Behold, I am sending my messenger before your face to prepare your way.
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 aloud. In the desert make ready a road for the Lord. Make his paths straight.
“The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare the way of the Lord, make straight his paths!”
4 In the desert came Johnwho baptized, and preached a baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;

And he preached, saying, There cometh after me one mightier than I, the latchet of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and loose.
8 I have baptized you in water, but he shall baptize you in the Holy Spirit."

9 It was at that time that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by Johnin the Jordan;

10 and as soon as he rose from the water he saw the sky cleft asunder, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him,

11 and a voice from the sky. "Thou art my Son, my beloved; in thee is my delight."
And there was a voice from the heavens, “Thou art my beloved Son; with thee I am well pleased.”
12 Then the Spirit drove him at once into the desert,

13 and he remained in the desert for forty days, tempted by Satan; and he was among the wild beasts, but the angels were ministering to him.

14 After Johnhad been thrown into prison Jesus came into Galilee preaching the gospel of God.

15 "The time is now come," he said, "and the kingdom of God is near! Repent and believe the gospel."

16 And as he was passing along by the sea of Galilee he saw Simon and Andrew, Simon’s brother, casting their net into the sea, for they were fishermen;

17 so Jesus said to them, "Come after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men."
And Jesus said to them, Come after me, and I will cause you to become fishers of men.
18 At once they left their nets and followed him.
And immediately they left their nets, and followed him.
19 As he went a little farther on he saw James, the son of Zebedee, and Johnhis brother, who also were in their boat mending the nets.
And going on a little farther, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the boat mending the nets;
20 Straightway he called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants and went after him.
and immediately he called them. And leaving their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men, they went after him.
21 So they came to Capernaum, and as soon as the Sabbath Day came he went into the synagogue and began to teach.
And they enter Capernaum; and immediately on the sabbath he was teaching in the synagogue.
22 They were astonished at his teaching, for he was teaching them with authority, not like the Scribes.

23 And at that very moment, there in their synagogue, a man in the grip of an unclean spirit shrieked out.
And immediately there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit, and he cried out,
24 "What business have you with us, you Jesus of Nazareth? Are you come to destroy us? I know you who you are, the Holy One of God."
saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus of Nazareth? Thou hast come to destroy us; we know who thou art, the Holy One of God.
25 But Jesus rebuked him, saying. "Be quit! Come out of him."
And Jesus rebuked him, [[saying, ]] Be silent, and come out of him.
26 So the unclean spirit, after tearing him, came out of him with a loud cry;
And the unclean spirit convulsing him, and crying out with a loud voice, came out of him.
27 and every one was amazed so that they began questioning among themselves. "What does this mean? A new teaching with authority? He lays commands even upon unclean spirits and they obey him."
And they were all amazed, so that they questioned each other, saying, What is this? New teaching with authority; even the unclean spirits doth he command, and they obey him!
28 And at once his fame spread everywhere through that part of Galilee.
And immediately his fame spread abroad everywhere through the whole surrounding country of Galilee.
29 On leaving the synagogue they went at once with Jamesand Johnto the house of Simon and Andrew.

31 So he came and took her hand and raised her up. The fever left her at once, and she began to wait upon them.

32 At evening when the sun had set, people came and brought to him all the sick and demon-possessed,
And in the evening, when the sun had set, they brought to him all that were sick, and those who were possessed by demons;
33 and the whole town was gathered at the door.

34 He cured many who were ill with various diseases, and drove out many demons. But he did not allow the demons to speak, because they knew who he was.
And he healed many that were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons; and he suffered not the demons to speak, because they knew him.
35 In the morning he rose a great while before day and went out to a desert place, and there prayed.
And rising early, long before day, he went out, and withdrew into a desert place, and there prayed.
36 And Simon and his companions hunted him up,
And Simon and those with him went in search of him,
37 and told him, "Every one is looking for you."
and found him. And they say to him, All people are in search of thee.
38 "Let us go away," he answered, "to the neighboring country towns, that I may preach there, too; because for that purpose I came forth."
And he saith to them, Let us go elsewhere into the neighboring towns, that I may preach there also; for, for this I came forth.
39 So he went throughout Galilee, preaching in the synagogues and driving out demons.

40 One day a leper cane to him and besought him as he knelt down to him, saying, "If you choose, you are able to cleanse me."

41 Jesus, moved with compassion, put out his hand and touched him, saying, "I do choose, be clean!"
And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched him, and saith, I will; be thou cleansed.
42 The leprosy at once left him, and he was made clean.
And immediately the leprosy left him, and he was cleansed.
43 Jesus immediately sent him away, charging him sternly and saying.
And sternly charging him, he immediately sent him away,
44 "See you say nothing to any one; but go your way, show yourself to the priest, and offer for your purification what Moses commanded for a testimony to them."
saying to him, See that thou say nothing to any one; but go, show thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing what Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.
45 But he went out and began to tell every one and to publish it broadcast, so that Jesus could no longer enter any town openly; but he had to remain outside in lonely places, and people kept coming to him from every quarter.
But he went away, and began to publish it constantly, and to spread the matter abroad, so that Jesus could no more enter a city openly, but was without in desert places; and they came to him from every quarter.
