2 As it is written in Isaiah the prophet, "Look, I send my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way before you.
as it is written in the prophets; “Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, he shall prepare thy way before thee.
3 The voice of one crying in the wilderness, 'Prepare the way of the Lord. Make his roads straight.'"

7 And he preached, saying, "After me comes he who is mightier than I, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and loosen.
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.
8 I baptized you in water, but he will baptize you in the Holy Spirit."
I indeed baptise you with water; but he shall baptise you with the Holy Ghost.
9 And it happened in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John in the Jordan.
And it came to pass in those days, Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee, and was baptised of John in Jordan.
10 Immediately coming up from the water, he saw the heavens parting, and the Spirit descending on him like a dove.
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:
11 And a voice came out of the sky, "You are my beloved Son, with you I am well pleased."
and a voice came from heaven, Thou art my beloved Son, in thee I am well pleased.
12 And immediately the Spirit drove him out into the wilderness.
And immediately the Spirit impelled him to go into the wilderness.
13 He was in the wilderness forty days tempted by Satan. He was with the wild animals; and the angels were serving him.

16 And passing along by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew the brother of Simon casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen.
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.
17 Jesus said to them, "Come, follow me, and I will make you into fishers of people."
And Jesus said to them, Come after me, and I will appoint you to be fishers of men:
18 And immediately they left the nets, and followed him.
and immediately leaving their nets, they followed him.
19 And going on a little further, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John, his brother, who were also in the boat mending the nets.
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.
20 And immediately he called them, and they left their father, Zebedee, in the boat with the hired servants, and went after him.

21 And they went into Capernaum, and immediately on the Sabbath day he entered into the synagogue and taught.

24 saying, "What do we have to do with you, Jesus, Nazarene? Have you come to destroy us? I know you who you are: the Holy One of God."
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.
25 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, "Be quiet, and come out of him."
And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Be silent, and come out of him.
26 And the unclean spirit, convulsing him and crying with a loud voice, came out of him.
And the unclean spirit threw him into convulsions, and crying with a loud voice, came out of him.
27 And they were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, "What is this? A new teaching? For with authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him."
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?
28 And at once the news of him went out everywhere into all the region of Galilee and its surrounding area.
And there went out a report of him immediately into all the region of Galilee round about.
29 And Immediately, when they had come out of the synagogue, they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.

32 At evening, when the sun had set, they brought to him all who were sick, and those who were possessed by demons.

34 And he healed many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons. He did not allow the demons to speak, because they knew him.
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.
35 And early in the morning, while it was still dark, he rose up and went out, and departed into a deserted place, and prayed there.
And very early (the night being far advanced towards morning) rising up, he went forth, and retired into a desert place, and there prayed.
36 And Simon and those who were with him followed after him;
And Simon, and those who were with him, eagerly pursued him;
37 and they found him, and told him, "Everyone is looking for you."
and when they had found him, they say unto him, All men are inquiring after thee.
38 And he said to them, "Let us go somewhere else into the next towns, that I may preach there also, because I came out for this reason."
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.
39 And he went into their synagogues throughout all Galilee, preaching and casting out demons.
And he was preaching in their synagogues, through all Galilee, and casting out devils.
40 And a leper came to him, begging him, and knelt down and said to him, "Lord, if you want to, 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 make me clean.
41 And being moved with compassion, he stretched out his hand, and touched him, and said to him, "I am willing. Be cleansed."
Then Jesus, moved with compassion, stretching out his hand, touched him, and said to him, I will; be thou cleansed.
42 And immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was made clean.
And as he spake, the leprosy instantly departed from him, and he was cleansed.
43 And he strictly warned him, and immediately sent him out,
And giving him a strict charge, he immediately sent him away;
44 and said to him, "See you say nothing to anyone, but go show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing the things which Moses commanded, for a testimony to them."
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.
45 But he went out, and began to proclaim it freely, and to spread about the matter, so that Jesus could no more openly enter into a city, but was outside in desert places: and they came to him from everywhere.
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.
