Mark 1
1 The beginning of the Good News of Jesus Christ the Son of God.
Beginning of the glad-message of Jesus Christ.
2 As it is written in Isaiah the Prophet, "See, I am sending My messenger before Thee, Who will prepare Thy way";
According 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 prepare a road for the Lord: Make His highways straight.'"
A voice of one crying aloud—In the wilderness, prepare ye the way of the Lord, straight, be making his paths.
4 So John the Baptizer came, and was in the Desert proclaiming a baptism of the penitent for forgiveness of sins.
John the Immerser came, in the wilderness, proclaiming an immersion of repentance for remission of sins;
5 There went out to him people of all classes from Judaea, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem of all ranks, and were baptized by him in the river Jordan, making open confession of their sins.
and there were going out unto him all the Judaea country and all they of Jerusalem, and were being immersed by him in the Jordan river, openly confessing their sins;
6 As for John, his garment was of camel's hair, and he wore a loincloth of leather; and his food was locusts and wild honey.
and John was clothed with camel’s-hair and a leathern girdle about his loins, and was eating locusts and wild honey;
7 His announcement was, "There is One coming after me mightier than I--One whose sandal-strap I am unworthy to stoop down and unfasten.
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 with the Holy Spirit."
I, have immersed you, with water, —He, will immerse you, with the Holy Spirit.
9 At that time Jesus came from Nazareth in 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 His coming up out of the water He saw an opening in the sky, and the Spirit like a dove coming down to 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 a voice came from the sky, saying, "Thou art My Son dearly loved: in Thee is My delight."
and a voice [came] out of the heavens—Thou, art my Son, the Beloved, —In thee, I delight.
12 At once the Spirit impelled Him to go out into the Desert,
And, straightway, the Spirit urgeth him forth into the wilderness;
13 where He remained for forty days, tempted by Satan; and He was among the wild beasts, but the angels waited upon Him.
and he was in the wilderness, forty days, tempted by Satan, and was with the wild beasts, —and, the messengers, were ministering unto him.
14 Then, after John had been thrown into prison, Jesus came into Galilee proclaiming God's Good News.
And after John was delivered up, Jesus came into Galilee, proclaiming the glad-message of God,
15 "The time has fully come," He said, "and the Kingdom of God is close at hand: repent, and believe this Good News.
[and saying]—The season is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God hath drawn near, —Repent ye, and have faith in the glad-message.
16 One day, passing along the shore of the Lake of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew, Simon's brother, throwing their nets in the Lake; for they were fisherman.
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 "Come and follow me," said Jesus, "and I will make you fishers for men."
and Jesus said unto them—Come after me, and I will make you become fishers of men;
18 At once they left their nets and followed Him.
and, straightway, leaving the nets, they followed him.
19 Going on a little further He saw James the son of Zabdi and his brother John: they also were in the boat mending the nets, and He immediately called them.
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 They therefore left their father Zabdi in the boat with the hired men, and went and followed Him.
and, straightway, he called them, —and, leaving their father Zebedee in the boat, with the hired men, they came away after him.
21 So they came to Capernaum, and on the next Sabbath He went to the synagogue and began to teach.
And they journey into Capernaum. And, straightway, on the Sabbath, entering into the synagogue, he began teaching;
22 The people listened with amazement to His teaching--for there was authority about it: it was very different from that of 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 when all at once, there in their synagogue, a man under the power of a foul spirit screamed out:
And, straightway, there was in their synagogue, a man in an impure spirit, —and he cried out aloud,
24 "What have you to do with us, Jesus the Nazarene? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are--God's Holy One."
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 But Jesus reprimanded him, saying, "Silence! come out of him."
And Jesus rebuked him, [saying]—Be silenced, and come forth out of him!
26 So the foul spirit, after throwing the man into convulsions, came out of him with a loud cry.
And the impure spirit, tearing him, and calling out with a loud voice, came forth out of him;
27 And all were amazed and awe-struck, so they began to ask one another, "What does this mean? Here is a new sort of teaching--and a tone of authority! And even to foul spirits he issues orders 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 His fame spread at once everywhere in all that part of Galilee.
And forth went the report of him, straightway, on every hand, into the surrounding country of Galilee.
29 Then on leaving the synagogue they came at once, with James and John, to the house of Simon and Andrew.
And, straightway, out of the synagogue, going forth, he went unto the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
30 Now Simon's mother-in-law was ill in bed with a fever, and without delay they informed Him about her.
Now, the mother-in-law of Simon, was lying in a fever, and, straightway, they speak to him concerning her;
31 So He went to her, and taking her hand He raised her to her feet: the fever left her, and she began to wait upon them.
and, coming near, he raised her up, grasping her hand, —and the fever left her, and she began ministering unto them.
32 When it was evening, after sunset people came bringing Him all who were sick and the demoniacs;
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 town was assembled at the door.
and all the city was gathered unto the door;
34 Then He cured numbers of people who were ill with various diseases, and He drove out many demons; not allowing the demons to speak, because they knew who He was.
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 In the morning He rose early, while it was still quite dark, and leaving the house He went away to a solitary 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 the others searched everywhere for Him.
and Simon, and they who were with him, went in quest of him,
37 When they found Him they said, "Every one is looking for you."
and found him, and say unto him—All, are seeking thee;
38 "Let us go elsewhere, to the neighbouring country towns," He replied, "that I may proclaim my Message there also; because for that purpose I came from God."
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 through all Galilee, preaching in the synagogues and expelling the demons.
and he came, making proclamation, into their synagogues, throughout the whole of Galilee, —and, was casting the demons out.
40 One day there came a leper to Jesus entreating Him, and pleading on his knees. "If you are willing," he said, "you are able to 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 Moved with pity Jesus reached out His hand and touched him. "I am willing," He said; "be cleansed."
and, moved with compassion, he stretched forth the hand, and touched him, and saith unto him—I am willing, Be cleansed!
42 The leprosy at once left him, and he was cleansed.
and, straightway, the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed;
43 Jesus at once sent him away, strictly charging him,
and, strictly charging him, straightway, he urged him forth;
44 and saying, "Be careful not to tell any one, but go and show yourself to the Priest, and for your purification present the offerings that Moses appointed as evidence for 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 the man, when he went out, began to tell every one and to publish the matter abroad, so that it was no longer possible for Jesus to go openly into any town; but He had to remain outside in unfrequented places, where people came to Him from all parts.
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.
