6 And John was clothed with camel's hair, and a girdle of skin around his loins, and eating locusts and honey of the field,

7 and he proclaimed, saying, 'He doth come — who is mightier than I — after me, of whom I am not worthy — having stooped down — to loose the latchet of his sandals;
And he proclaimed, saying, One mightier than I comes after me, whose shoe-latchet I am unworthy to stoop down and untie.
8 I indeed did baptize you with water, but he shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit.'
I, indeed, have immersed you in water; but he will immerse you in the Holy Spirit.
9 And it came to pass in those days, Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John at the Jordan;
At that time Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee to the Jordan, and was immersed by John.
10 and immediately coming up from the water, he saw the heavens dividing, and the Spirit as a dove coming down upon him;
As soon as he arose out of the water, he saw the sky part asunder, and the Spirit descend upon him like a dove.
11 and a voice came out of the heavens, 'Thou art My Son — the Beloved, in whom I did delight.'

12 And immediately doth the Spirit put him forth to the wilderness,

16 And, walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon, and Andrew his brother, casting a drag into the sea, for they were fishers,

17 and Jesus said to them, 'Come ye after me, and I shall make you to become fishers of men;'
Jesus said to them, Come with me, and I will cause you to be fishers of men.
18 and immediately, having left their nets, they followed him.
Immediately they left their nets, and followed him.
19 And having gone on thence a little, he saw James of Zebedee, and John his brother, and they were in the boat refitting the nets,
Passing on a little, and seeing James, son of Zebedee, with John his brother, who were mending their nets in a bark,
20 and immediately he called them, and, having left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, they went away after him.
he immediately called them; and leaving their father Zebedee in the bark with the hired servants, they accompanied him.
21 And they go on to Capernaum, and immediately, on the sabbaths, having gone into the synagogue, he was teaching,

23 And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit, and he cried out,
Now there was in their synagogue a man possessed with an unclean spirit, who cried out,
24 saying, 'Away! what — to us and to thee, Jesus the Nazarene? thou didst come to destroy us; I have known thee who thou art — the Holy One of God.'
Ah! Jesus of Nazareth, what hast thou to do with us? Art thou come to destroy us? I know who thou art, the Holy One of God.
25 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, 'Be silenced, and come forth out of him,'
Jesus rebuking him, said, Be silent, and come out of him.
26 and the unclean spirit having torn him, and having cried with a great voice, came forth out of him,
Then the unclean spirit threw him into convulsions; and, raising loud cried, came out of him:
27 and they were all amazed, so as to reason among themselves, saying, 'What is this? what new teaching [is] this? that with authority also the unclean spirits he commandeth, and they obey him!'
at which they were all so amazed, that they asked one another, What does this mean? For he commands with authority even the unclean spirits, and they obey him.
28 And the fame of him went forth immediately to all the region, round about, of Galilee.
And thenceforth his fame spread through all the region of Galilee.
29 And immediately, having come forth out of the synagogue, they went to the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John,
As soon as they were come out of the synagogue, they went with James and John into the house of Simon and Andrew,
30 and the mother-in-law of Simon was lying fevered, and immediately they tell him about her,

31 and having come near, he raised her up, having laid hold of her hand, and the fever left her immediately, and she was ministering to them.
And he came, and taking her by the hand, raised her; instantly the fever left her, and she entertained them.
32 And evening having come, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all who were ill, and who were demoniacs,
In the evening, after sunset, they brought to him all the sick, and the demoniacs;
33 and the whole city was gathered together near the door,

34 and he healed many who were ill of manifold diseases, and many demons he cast forth, and was not suffering the demons to speak, because they knew him.
And he healed many persons affected with various diseases, and expelled many demons, whom he permitted not to speak, because they knew him.
35 And very early, it being yet night, having risen, he went forth, and went away to a desert place, and was there praying;
On the morrow, having risen before dawn, he went out, and retired to a solitary place, and prayed there.
36 and Simon and those with him went in quest of him,
And Simon and his company went in quest of him,
37 and having found him, they say to him, — 'All do seek thee;'
and having found him, said to him, Every person seeks you.
38 and he saith to them, 'We may go to the next towns, that there also I may preach, for for this I came forth.'
Jesus said, Let us go to the neighboring boroughs, to make proclamation there also: for I came out with this design.
39 And he was preaching in their synagogues, in all Galilee, and is casting out the demons,

40 and there doth come to him a leper, calling on him, and kneeling to him, and saying to him — 'If thou mayest will, thou art able to cleanse me.'
And a leper came to him, and on his knees entreated him, saying, If you will, you can cleanse me.
41 And Jesus having been moved with compassion, having stretched forth the hand, touched him, and saith to him, 'I will; be thou cleansed;'
Jesus had compassion, and stretching out his hand and touching him, said, I will, be you clean.
42 and he having spoken, immediately the leprosy went away from him, and he was cleansed.
This he had no sooner uttered, than the leprosy departed from the man, and he was cleansed.
43 And having sternly charged him, immediately he put him forth,
Then Jesus strictly charging him, and dismissing him,
44 and saith to him, 'See thou mayest say nothing to any one, but go away, thyself shew to the priest, and bring near for thy cleansing the things Moses directed, for a testimony to them.'
said, See you tell nothing of this to any man; but go, show yourself to the priest; and offer for your cleansing the things prescribed by Moses, that it may be notified to the people.
45 And he, having gone forth, began to proclaim much, and to spread abroad the thing, so that no more he was able openly to enter into the city, but he was without in desert places, and they were coming unto him from every quarter.
But the man, as soon as he was gone, began to blaze this story, talking openly everywhere, insomuch that Jesus could no longer publicly appear in the city; but remained without in solitary places, whither the people resorted to him from all parts.
