1 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
The beginning of the gospel of JESUS CHRIST the Son of GOD.
2 As it is written in the Prophets, “Behold, I am sending my messenger ahead of yoʋ, who will prepare yoʋr way before yoʋ,
As it is written in the prophets, "Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee:"
3 the voice of one crying out in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord; make his paths straight,’”
and again, "The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight:" accordingly John came baptizing in the wilderness,
4 John came baptizing in the wilderness and preaching a baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.
and preaching the baptism of repentance in order to the remission of sins;
5 The whole Judean countryside was going out to him, and so were the people of Jerusalem. They were all being baptized by him in the Jordan River, confessing their sins.
and all the country of Judea, and those of Jerusalem, went out to him, and were all baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.
6 Now John was clothed with camel's hair and wore a leather belt around his waist; he ate locusts and wild honey.
And John was clothed with camels hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins, and he lived upon locusts and wild honey: and he preached,
7 He proclaimed, “After me comes one who is mightier than I, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie.
saying, There cometh after me one mightier than I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop and unloose.
8 I have baptized you with water, but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.”
I indeed have baptized you with water, but He will baptize you with the holy Spirit.
9 In those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan.
And in those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John in Jordan:
10 Immediately as he was coming up from the water, he saw the heavens being split apart and the Spirit descending on him like a dove.
and as soon as He came up from the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon Him.
11 Then a voice came from heaven: “Yoʋ are my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
And there was a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
12 Immediately the Spirit drove him out into the wilderness,
And immediately the Spirit taketh Him out into the wilderness:
13 and he was there in the wilderness for forty days, being tempted by Satan. He was with the wild beasts, and the angels ministered to him.
and He was there in the wilderness forty days tempted by Satan, and among the wild beasts: and angels ministred unto Him.
14 After John was put in prison, Jesus went to Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God
Now after John was cast into prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,
15 and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has drawn near. Repent and believe in the gospel.”
and saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent, and believe the gospel.
16 As Jesus was walking by the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother (that is, Simon's brother) casting a net in the sea, for they were fishermen.
And as He was walking by the sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea,
17 Jesus said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.”
(for they were fishermen, ) and Jesus said unto them, Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men:
18 So they immediately left their nets and followed him.
and immediately they left their nets and followed Him.
19 Going on a little farther from there, he saw James the son of Zebedee and John his brother as they were in the boat mending their nets.
And going a little farther, He saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship, mending their nets, and immediately called them likewise:
20 Immediately he called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men and followed him.
and they left their father Zebedee in the ship with the men he had hired, and went along with Him.
21 They went to Capernaum, and immediately on the Sabbath Jesus went into the synagogue and began teaching.
And they went into Capernaum: and going directly into the synagogue on the sabbath, He taught the people: and they were astonished at his doctrine;
22 The people were astonished at his teaching, because he was teaching them as one who had authority, and not as the scribes.
for He taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes.
23 Now in their synagogue there was a man possessed by an unclean spirit. He cried out,
And there was in their synagogue a man with an impure spirit,
24 “Leave us alone! What do yoʋ have to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have yoʋ come to destroy us? I know who yoʋ are—the Holy One of God.”
and he cried out, saying, Let us alone, what have we to do with thee, Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee, who thou art, the holy one of God.
25 But Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be silent, and come out of him!”
And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Be silent, and come out of him: and the impure spirit threw him into convulsions,
26 So the unclean spirit convulsed the man and came out of him, crying out with a loud voice.
and roaring with a loud voice, came out of him.
27 All the people were amazed so that they questioned among themselves, saying, “What is this? What new teaching is this that with authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him?”
And they were all amazed, so that they inquired of each other, saying, What is this, what new kind of doctrine is this? for He commands with authority even the impure spirits, and they obey Him.
28 And the news about him immediately spread throughout all the surrounding region of Galilee.
And straitway his fame spread into all the country round about Galilee.
29 After leaving the synagogue, they immediately went to the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
And as soon as they came out of the synagogue, they went into the house of Simon and Andrew, together with James and John.
30 Now Simon's mother-in-law lay sick with a fever, and they immediately told Jesus about her.
And Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever: and they immediately told Him of her:
31 So he went over to her and raised her up, taking hold of her hand. Immediately the fever left her, and she began to serve them.
and He came to her, and taking her by the hand raised her up; and immediately the fever left her, and she waited upon them.
32 When evening came, after the sun had set, they brought to Jesus all who were sick and those who were possessed by demons.
And in the evening, when the sun set, they brought to Him all that were ill, and demoniacs:
33 The whole city was gathered together at the door,
and the whole city was gathered together at the door;
34 and he healed many who were sick with various diseases. He also cast out many demons, but he would not allow the demons to speak, because they knew who he was.
and He healed many that were ill of various diseases, and cast out many devils, and suffered not the devils to say that they knew Him.
35 Early the next morning, while it was still very dark, Jesus rose and departed. He went off to a desolate place and prayed there.
And in the morning, before it was light, He rose up and went out, and retired into a solitary place, and there prayed.
36 Simon and his companions searched diligently for him,
And Simon, and they that were with him, went in quest of Him:
37 and when they found him, they said to him, “Everyone is looking for yoʋ.”
and when they found Him, they said to Him, all the people are seeking for thee.
38 Jesus said to them, “Let us go into the neighboring towns so that I may preach there also, for that is why I have come.”
And He saith unto them, Let us go into the neighbouring towns, that I may preach there also; for this was the end of my coming.
39 So he was preaching in their synagogues in all of Galilee and casting out demons.
And He went preaching in their synagogues, through all Galilee, and casting out devils.
40 Then a leper came up and knelt before him, begging him, “If yoʋ are willing, yoʋ 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 cleanse me:
41 Moved with compassion, Jesus stretched out his hand, touched the man, and said to him, “I am willing; be made clean.”
and Jesus, being moved with compassion, stretched out his hand and touched him, and saith unto Him, I will;
42 When he said this, the leprosy immediately departed from the man, and he was made clean.
be thou healed: and as soon as He had spoken, immediately the leprosy left him, and he was healed.
43 Then Jesus sternly warned him and immediately sent him away,
And he gave him a strict charge, and immediately dismissed him,
44 saying to him, “Be sure not to say anything to anyone, but go show yoʋrself to the priest and offer for yoʋr cleansing what Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”
and saith unto him, See thou tell no man: but go, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy purification what Moses has commanded, for a testimony to them.
45 But the man went out and began to proclaim it widely and to spread the news, so that Jesus could no longer openly enter a town, but was out in desolate places. Yet people were coming to him from everywhere.
But when he was gone he began to publish it much, and to spread abroad the report: so that Jesus could no more go openly into the city, but kept out in country places: and they came to Him from all parts.
