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, There cometh after me one mightier than I, the latchet of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and loose.
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 have baptized you with water; but he will baptize you in the Holy Spirit.
I, have immersed you, with water, —He, will immerse you, with the Holy Spirit.
9 And it came to pass that in those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John in the 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 coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens parted, and the Spirit descending as a dove 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 there was a voice from the heavens, “Thou art my beloved Son; with 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 driveth him forth 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 ministered to him.

14 But after John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the glad tidings of God,
And after John was delivered up, Jesus came into Galilee, proclaiming the glad-message of God,
15 [[saying, ]] The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent, and believe the glad tidings.

16 And as he was passing along by the lake of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew the brother of Simon dragging a net in the lake; for they were fishers.
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 cause you to become fishers of men.
and Jesus said unto them—Come after me, and I will make you become fishers of men;
18 And immediately they left their nets, and followed him.
and, straightway, leaving the nets, they followed him.
19 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;
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 boat with the hired men, 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 enter Capernaum; and immediately on the sabbath he was teaching in the synagogue.
And they journey into Capernaum. And, straightway, on the Sabbath, entering into the synagogue, he began teaching;
22 And they were astonished at his teaching; for he taught them as 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 immediately 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, 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.
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 convulsing him, and crying out 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 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!
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 immediately his fame spread abroad everywhere through the whole surrounding country of Galilee.
And forth went the report of him, straightway, on every hand, into the surrounding country of Galilee.
29 And having come out of the synagogue, they immediately entered 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 And Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever; and they immediately speak to him about her.
Now, the mother-in-law of Simon, was lying in a fever, and, straightway, they speak to him concerning her;
31 And he went to her, and took her by the hand, and raised her up; and the fever left her, and she waited on them.
and, coming near, he raised her up, grasping her hand, —and the fever left her, and she began ministering unto them.
32 And in the evening, when the sun had set, they brought to him all that were sick, and those who were possessed by demons;
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 assembled at the door.
and all the city was gathered unto the door;
34 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.
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 rising early, long before day, he went out, and withdrew 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 with him went in search of him,
and Simon, and they who were with him, went in quest of him,
37 and found him. And they say to him, All people are in search of thee.
and found him, and say unto him—All, are seeking thee;
38 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.
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 went, preaching in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and casting out the demons.
and he came, making proclamation, into their synagogues, throughout the whole of Galilee, —and, was casting the demons out.
40 And there cometh a leper to him beseeching him, and kneeling down, saying to him, If thou wilt, thou canst cleanse me.
And there cometh unto him, a leper, beseeching him and [kneeling], —saying unto him—If thou be willing, thou canst cleanse me;
41 And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched him, and saith, 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 immediately the leprosy left him, and he was cleansed.
and, straightway, the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed;
43 And sternly charging him, he immediately sent him away,
and, strictly charging him, straightway, he urged him forth;
44 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.
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 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.
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.
