Κατα Μαρκον 1
1 Ἀρχὴ τοῦ εὐαγγελίου Ἰησοῦ ⸀χριστοῦ
A beginning of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, Son of God!
2 ⸀Καθὼςγέγραπται ἐν ⸂τῷ Ἠσαΐᾳ τῷ προφήτῃ· ⸀Ἰδοὺ ἀποστέλλω τὸν ἄγγελόν μου πρὸ προσώπου σου, ὃς κατασκευάσει τὴν ὁδόν ⸀σου·
As it is written in the prophets —“Take note, I am sending my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way before you.”
3 φωνὴ βοῶντος ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ· Ἑτοιμάσατε τὴν ὁδὸν κυρίου, εὐθείας ποιεῖτε τὰς τρίβους αὐτοῦ,
“A voice calling out: ‘In the wilderness prepare the way of the Lord, make His paths straight!’”—
4 ἐγένετο Ἰωάννης ⸀ὁβαπτίζων ἐν τῇ ⸀ἐρήμῳκηρύσσων βάπτισμα μετανοίας εἰς ἄφεσιν ἁμαρτιῶν.
John started baptizing in the wilderness and proclaiming a baptism of repentance for forgiveness of sins.
5 καὶ ἐξεπορεύετο πρὸς αὐτὸν πᾶσα ἡ Ἰουδαία χώρα καὶ οἱ Ἱεροσολυμῖται ⸂πάντες, καὶ ἐβαπτίζοντο⸃ ⸂ὑπʼ αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ Ἰορδάνῃ ποταμῷ⸃ ἐξομολογούμενοι τὰς ἁμαρτίας αὐτῶν.
Well, the whole Judean countryside and the Jerusalemites started going out to him, and were all being baptized by him in the Jordan River, confessing their sins.
6 ⸂καὶ ἦν ὁ Ἰωάννης ἐνδεδυμένος τρίχας καμήλου καὶ ζώνην δερματίνην περὶ τὴν ὀσφὺν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔσθων ἀκρίδας καὶ μέλι ἄγριον.
Now John was clothed with camel's hair and with a leather belt around his waist; and he was eating locusts and wild honey.
7 καὶ ἐκήρυσσεν λέγων· Ἔρχεται ὁ ἰσχυρότερός μου ὀπίσω μου, οὗ οὐκ εἰμὶ ἱκανὸς κύψας λῦσαι τὸν ἱμάντα τῶν ὑποδημάτων αὐτοῦ·
And he was proclaiming: “After me my Superior is coming, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to stoop down and loosen.
8 ⸀ἐγὼἐβάπτισα ⸀ὑμᾶςὕδατι, αὐτὸς δὲ βαπτίσει ὑμᾶς ⸀ἐνπνεύματι ἁγίῳ.
I indeed baptized you with water, but He will baptize you with Holy Spirit.”
9 Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν ἐκείναις ταῖς ἡμέραις ἦλθεν Ἰησοῦς ἀπὸ Ναζαρὲτ τῆς Γαλιλαίας καὶ ἐβαπτίσθη ⸂εἰς τὸν Ἰορδάνην ὑπὸ Ἰωάννου.
Well it happened in those days that Jesus came from Natsareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan.
10 καὶ ⸀εὐθὺςἀναβαίνων ⸀ἐκτοῦ ὕδατος εἶδεν σχιζομένους τοὺς οὐρανοὺς καὶ τὸ πνεῦμα ⸀ὡςπεριστερὰν καταβαῖνον ⸀εἰςαὐτόν·
And immediately upon coming up from the water He saw the heavens being torn open and the Spirit, like a dove, descending upon Him.
11 καὶ φωνὴ ἐγένετο ἐκ τῶν οὐρανῶν· Σὺ εἶ ὁ υἱός μου ὁ ἀγαπητός, ἐν ⸀σοὶεὐδόκησα.
And a Voice came from the heavens: “You are my Son, the beloved, in whom I am well pleased!”
12 Καὶ εὐθὺς τὸ πνεῦμα αὐτὸν ἐκβάλλει εἰς τὴν ἔρημον.
Immediately the Spirit impelled Him into the wilderness.
13 καὶ ⸀ἦνἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ ⸂τεσσεράκοντα ἡμέρας πειραζόμενος ὑπὸ τοῦ Σατανᾶ, καὶ ἦν μετὰ τῶν θηρίων, καὶ οἱ ἄγγελοι διηκόνουν αὐτῷ.
And He was there in the wilderness forty days being tested by Satan, and was with the wild animals; and the angels were ministering to Him.
14 ⸂Καὶ μετὰ τὸ παραδοθῆναι τὸν Ἰωάννην ἦλθεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἰς τὴν Γαλιλαίαν κηρύσσων τὸ ⸀εὐαγγέλιοντοῦ θεοῦ
Now after John was put in prison, Jesus went into Galilee proclaiming the Gospel of the Kingdom of God,
15 καὶ λέγων ὅτι Πεπλήρωται ὁ καιρὸς καὶ ἤγγικεν ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ θεοῦ· μετανοεῖτε καὶ πιστεύετε ἐν τῷ εὐαγγελίῳ.
and saying: “The time has been fulfilled and the Kingdom of God has approached. Repent and believe in the Gospel.”
16 ⸂Καὶ παράγων παρὰ τὴν θάλασσαν τῆς Γαλιλαίας εἶδεν Σίμωνα καὶ Ἀνδρέαν τὸν ⸀ἀδελφὸνΣίμωνος ⸀ἀμφιβάλλονταςἐν τῇ θαλάσσῃ, ἦσαν γὰρ ἁλιεῖς·
Then, as He was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew his brother, of Simon, casting a circular net onto the water, for they were fishermen.
17 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς· Δεῦτε ὀπίσω μου, καὶ ποιήσω ὑμᾶς γενέσθαι ἁλιεῖς ἀνθρώπων.
So Jesus said to them: “Come, follow me and I will turn you into fishers of men.”
18 καὶ ⸀εὐθὺςἀφέντες τὰ ⸀δίκτυαἠκολούθησαν αὐτῷ.
At once they left their nets and followed Him.
19 καὶ ⸀προβὰςὀλίγον εἶδεν Ἰάκωβον τὸν τοῦ Ζεβεδαίου καὶ Ἰωάννην τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ, καὶ αὐτοὺς ἐν τῷ πλοίῳ καταρτίζοντας τὰ δίκτυα,
And going on from there a little ways He saw James, son of Zebedee, and his brother John; they were in their boat mending their nets.
20 καὶ ⸀εὐθὺςἐκάλεσεν αὐτούς. καὶ ἀφέντες τὸν πατέρα αὐτῶν Ζεβεδαῖον ἐν τῷ πλοίῳ μετὰ τῶν μισθωτῶν ἀπῆλθον ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ.
Right away He called them, and leaving their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men they followed Him.
21 Καὶ εἰσπορεύονται εἰς Καφαρναούμ. καὶ ⸀εὐθὺςτοῖς σάββασιν ⸂ἐδίδασκεν εἰς τὴν συναγωγήν.
Then they went into Capernaum. The very next Sabbath He entered the synagogue and began to teach.
22 καὶ ἐξεπλήσσοντο ἐπὶ τῇ διδαχῇ αὐτοῦ, ἦν γὰρ διδάσκων αὐτοὺς ὡς ἐξουσίαν ἔχων καὶ οὐχ ὡς οἱ γραμματεῖς.
And they kept on being amazed at His teaching, because He was teaching them as one having authority, and not like the scribes.
23 καὶ ⸀εὐθὺςἦν ἐν τῇ συναγωγῇ αὐτῶν ἄνθρωπος ἐν πνεύματι ἀκαθάρτῳ καὶ ἀνέκραξεν
Now there was a man in their synagogue with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,
24 λέγων· ⸀Τίἡμῖν καὶ σοί, Ἰησοῦ Ναζαρηνέ; ἦλθες ἀπολέσαι ἡμᾶς; οἶδά σε τίς εἶ, ὁ ἅγιος τοῦ θεοῦ.
saying: “Hey, what do you want with us, Jesus Natsarene?! Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God!”
25 καὶ ἐπετίμησεν αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς λέγων· Φιμώθητι καὶ ἔξελθε ἐξ αὐτοῦ.
So Jesus rebuked him saying: “Shut up and get out of him!”
26 καὶ σπαράξαν αὐτὸν τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ ἀκάθαρτον καὶ ⸀φωνῆσανφωνῇ μεγάλῃ ἐξῆλθεν ἐξ αὐτοῦ.
The unclean spirit, convulsing him and crying with a loud voice, came out of him.
27 καὶ ἐθαμβήθησαν ⸀ἅπαντες ὥστε συζητεῖν ⸂πρὸς ἑαυτοὺς λέγοντας· Τί ἐστιν τοῦτο; ⸂διδαχὴ καινή· κατʼ ἐξουσίαν καὶ τοῖς πνεύμασι τοῖς ἀκαθάρτοις ἐπιτάσσει, καὶ ὑπακούουσιν αὐτῷ.
And all were astounded, so that they questioned among themselves, saying: “What is this? What can this new doctrine be? Because with authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him!”
28 ⸂καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ἡ ἀκοὴ αὐτοῦ εὐθὺς ⸀πανταχοῦεἰς ὅλην τὴν περίχωρον τῆς Γαλιλαίας.
So His fame spread directly into the whole surrounding area of Galilee.
29 Καὶ ⸀εὐθὺςἐκ τῆς συναγωγῆς ⸂ἐξελθόντες ἦλθον εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν Σίμωνος καὶ Ἀνδρέου μετὰ Ἰακώβου καὶ Ἰωάννου.
Immediately upon exiting the synagogue they went into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
30 ἡ δὲ πενθερὰ Σίμωνος κατέκειτο πυρέσσουσα, καὶ ⸀εὐθὺςλέγουσιν αὐτῷ περὶ αὐτῆς.
Simon's mother-in-law was lying down with a fever, so without delay they told Him about her.
31 καὶ προσελθὼν ἤγειρεν αὐτὴν κρατήσας τῆς ⸀χειρός καὶ ἀφῆκεν αὐτὴν ὁ ⸀πυρετός καὶ διηκόνει αὐτοῖς.
So He went and grasping her hand lifted her up; immediately the fever left her and she began to serve them.
32 Ὀψίας δὲ γενομένης, ὅτε ⸀ἔδυὁ ἥλιος, ἔφερον πρὸς αὐτὸν πάντας τοὺς κακῶς ἔχοντας καὶ τοὺς δαιμονιζομένους·
That evening, when the sun had set, they started bringing to Him all who were sick and the demonized.
33 καὶ ⸂ἦν ὅλη ἡ πόλις ἐπισυνηγμένη πρὸς τὴν θύραν.
So much so that the whole town was gathered at the door,
34 καὶ ἐθεράπευσεν πολλοὺς κακῶς ἔχοντας ποικίλαις νόσοις, καὶ δαιμόνια πολλὰ ἐξέβαλεν, καὶ οὐκ ἤφιεν λαλεῖν τὰ δαιμόνια, ὅτι ᾔδεισαν ⸀αὐτόν
and He healed many who were sick with various diseases and cast out many demons; and He did not allow the demons to speak, because they knew He was Messiah.
35 Καὶ πρωῒ ἔννυχα λίαν ἀναστὰς ἐξῆλθεν καὶ ἀπῆλθεν εἰς ἔρημον τόπον κἀκεῖ προσηύχετο.
Now very early, still night, He got up, slipped out, and went off to a solitary place, where He was praying.
36 καὶ ⸀κατεδίωξεναὐτὸν ⸀Σίμωνκαὶ οἱ μετʼ αὐτοῦ,
Simon and those with him hunted for Him,
37 καὶ ⸂εὗρον αὐτὸν καὶ λέγουσιν αὐτῷ ὅτι Πάντες ⸂ζητοῦσίν σε.
and upon finding Him they said to Him, “Everyone is looking for you.”
38 καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς· Ἄγωμεν ⸀ἀλλαχοῦεἰς τὰς ἐχομένας κωμοπόλεις, ἵνα καὶ ἐκεῖ κηρύξω, εἰς τοῦτο γὰρ ⸀ἐξῆλθον
But He said to them: “Let us go to the neighboring towns, so I can preach there also; that is why I have come.”
39 καὶ ⸀ἦλθενκηρύσσων ⸂εἰς τὰς συναγωγὰς αὐτῶν εἰς ὅλην τὴν Γαλιλαίαν καὶ τὰ δαιμόνια ἐκβάλλων.
He was constantly preaching in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and also casting out demons.
40 Καὶ ἔρχεται πρὸς αὐτὸν λεπρὸς παρακαλῶν αὐτὸν καὶ ⸀γονυπετῶνλέγων αὐτῷ ὅτι Ἐὰν θέλῃς δύνασαί με καθαρίσαι.
A leper came to Him, imploring Him, kneeling before Him and saying to Him, “If you want to, you are able to cleanse me.”
41 ⸀καὶ⸀ὀργισθεὶςἐκτείνας τὴν χεῖρα ⸂αὐτοῦ ἥψατο καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ· Θέλω, καθαρίσθητι·
So being moved with compassion, Jesus stretched out His hand and touched him, and said to him: “I want to; be cleansed!”
42 καὶ ⸀εὐθὺςἀπῆλθεν ἀπʼ αὐτοῦ ἡ λέπρα, καὶ ἐκαθαρίσθη.
And when He said this, immediately the leprosy left him, and he was cleansed.
43 καὶ ἐμβριμησάμενος αὐτῷ ⸀εὐθὺςἐξέβαλεν αὐτόν,
And He sent him away at once, sternly warning him,
44 καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ· Ὅρα μηδενὶ μηδὲν εἴπῃς, ἀλλὰ ὕπαγε σεαυτὸν δεῖξον τῷ ἱερεῖ καὶ προσένεγκε περὶ τοῦ καθαρισμοῦ σου ἃ προσέταξεν Μωϋσῆς εἰς μαρτύριον αὐτοῖς.
by saying: “See that you say nothing to anyone; but go, show yourself to the priest and offer for your cleansing the things that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”
45 ὁ δὲ ἐξελθὼν ἤρξατο κηρύσσειν πολλὰ καὶ διαφημίζειν τὸν λόγον, ὥστε μηκέτι αὐτὸν δύνασθαι φανερῶς εἰς πόλιν εἰσελθεῖν, ἀλλὰ ἔξω ⸀ἐπʼἐρήμοις τόποις ἦν· καὶ ἤρχοντο πρὸς αὐτὸν ⸀πάντοθεν
However he went out and began to proclaim it freely, spreading the news, so that He was no longer able to enter a town openly, but remained outside in deserted places; yet they kept coming to Him from all over.
