This is the beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

As it is written in Isaiah the prophet: “Behold, I will send My messenger ahead of You, who will prepare Your way.”

“A voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for Him.’”

John the Baptist appeared in the wilderness, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.

People went out to him from all of Jerusalem and the countryside of Judea. Confessing their sins, they were baptized by him in the Jordan River.

John was clothed in camel’s hair, with a leather belt around his waist. His food was locusts and wild honey.

And he began to proclaim: “After me will come One more powerful than I, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie.
8 aha. m yu. smaan jale majjitavaan kintu sa pavitra aatmaani sa. mmajjayi. syati|
I baptize you with water, but He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.”

In those days Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan.
10 sa jalaadutthitamaatro meghadvaara. m mukta. m kapotavat svasyopari avarohantamaatmaana nca d. r.s. tavaan|
As soon as Jesus came up out of the water, He saw the heavens breaking open and the Spirit descending on Him like a dove.
11 tva. m mama priya. h putrastvayyeva mamamahaasanto. sa iyamaakaa"siiyaa vaa. nii babhuuva|
And a voice came from heaven: “You are My beloved Son; in You I am well pleased.”
12 tasmin kaale aatmaa ta. m praantaramadhya. m ninaaya|
At once the Spirit drove Jesus into the wilderness,
13 atha sa catvaari. m"saddinaani tasmin sthaane vanyapa"subhi. h saha ti. s.than "saitaanaa pariik. sita. h; pa"scaat svargiiyaduutaasta. m si. sevire|
and He was there for forty days, being tempted by Satan. He was with the wild animals, and the angels ministered to Him.
14 anantara. m yohani bandhanaalaye baddhe sati yii"su rgaaliilprade"samaagatya ii"svararaajyasya susa. mvaada. m pracaarayan kathayaamaasa,
After the arrest of John, Jesus went into Galilee and proclaimed the gospel of God.
15 kaala. h sampuur. na ii"svararaajya nca samiipamaagata. m; atoheto ryuuya. m manaa. msi vyaavarttayadhva. m susa. mvaade ca vi"svaasita|
“The time is fulfilled,” He said, “and the kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe in the gospel!”
16 tadanantara. m sa gaaliiliiyasamudrasya tiire gacchan "simon tasya bhraataa andriyanaamaa ca imau dvau janau matsyadhaari. nau saagaramadhye jaala. m prak. sipantau d. r.s. tvaa taavavadat,
As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen.
17 yuvaa. m mama pa"scaadaagacchata. m, yuvaamaha. m manu. syadhaari. nau kari. syaami|
“Come, follow Me,” Jesus said, “and I will make you fishers of men.”
18 tatastau tatk. sa. nameva jaalaani parityajya tasya pa"scaat jagmatu. h|
And at once they left their nets and followed Him.
19 tata. h para. m tatsthaanaat ki ncid duura. m gatvaa sa sivadiiputrayaakuub tadbhraat. ryohan ca imau naukaayaa. m jaalaanaa. m jiir. namuddhaarayantau d. r.s. tvaa taavaahuuyat|
Going on a little farther, He saw James son of Zebedee and his brother John. They were in a boat, mending their nets.
20 tatastau naukaayaa. m vetanabhugbhi. h sahita. m svapitara. m vihaaya tatpa"scaadiiyatu. h|
Immediately Jesus called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men and followed Him.
21 tata. h para. m kapharnaahuumnaamaka. m nagaramupasthaaya sa vi"sraamadivase bhajanagraha. m pravi"sya samupadide"sa|
Then Jesus and His companions went to Capernaum, and right away Jesus entered the synagogue on the Sabbath and began to teach.
22 tasyopade"saallokaa aa"scaryya. m menire yata. h sodhyaapakaaiva nopadi"san prabhaavavaaniva propadide"sa|
The people were astonished at His teaching, because He taught as one who had authority, and not as the scribes.
23 apara nca tasmin bhajanag. rhe apavitrabhuutena grasta eko maanu. sa aasiit| sa ciit"sabda. m k. rtvaa kathayaa ncake
Suddenly a man with an unclean spirit cried out in the synagogue:
24 bho naasaratiiya yii"so tvamasmaan tyaja, tvayaa sahaasmaaka. m ka. h sambandha. h? tva. m kimasmaan naa"sayitu. m samaagata. h? tvamii"svarasya pavitraloka ityaha. m jaanaami|
“What do You want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are—the Holy One of God!”
25 tadaa yii"susta. m tarjayitvaa jagaada tuu. s.nii. m bhava ito bahirbhava ca|
But Jesus rebuked the spirit. “Be silent!” He said. “Come out of him!”
26 tata. h so. apavitrabhuutasta. m sampii. dya atyucai"sciitk. rtya nirjagaama|
At this, the unclean spirit threw the man into convulsions and came out with a loud shriek.
27 tenaiva sarvve camatk. rtya paraspara. m kathayaa ncakrire, aho kimida. m? kiid. r"so. aya. m navya upade"sa. h? anena prabhaavenaapavitrabhuute. svaaj naapite. su te tadaaj naanuvarttino bhavanti|
All the people were amazed and began to ask one another, “What is this? A new teaching with authority! He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey Him!”
28 tadaa tasya ya"so gaaliila"scaturdiksthasarvvade"saan vyaapnot|
And the news about Jesus spread quickly through the whole region of Galilee.
29 apara nca te bhajanag. rhaad bahi rbhuutvaa yaakuubyohanbhyaa. m saha "simona aandriyasya ca nive"sana. m pravivi"su. h|
As soon as Jesus and His companions had left the synagogue, they went with James and John to the home of Simon and Andrew.
30 tadaa pitarasya "sva"sruurjvarapii. ditaa "sayyaayaamaasta iti te ta. m jha. titi vij naapayaa ncakru. h|
Simon’s mother-in-law was sick in bed with a fever, and they promptly told Jesus about her.
31 tata. h sa aagatya tasyaa hasta. m dh. rtvaa taamudasthaapayat; tadaiva taa. m jvaro. atyaak. siit tata. h para. m saa taan si. seve|
So He went to her, took her by the hand, and helped her up. The fever left her, and she began to serve them.
32 athaasta. m gate ravau sandhyaakaale sati lokaastatsamiipa. m sarvvaan rogi. no bhuutadh. rtaa. m"sca samaaninyu. h|
That evening, after sunset, people brought to Jesus all who were sick and demon-possessed,
33 sarvve naagarikaa lokaa dvaari sa. mmilitaa"sca|
and the whole town gathered at the door.
34 tata. h sa naanaavidharogi. no bahuun manujaanarogi. na"scakaara tathaa bahuun bhuutaan tyaajayaa ncakaara taan bhuutaan kimapi vaakya. m vaktu. m ni. si. sedha ca yatohetoste tamajaanan|
And He healed many who were ill with various diseases and drove out many demons. But He would not allow the demons to speak, because they knew who He was.
35 apara nca so. atipratyuu. se vastutastu raatri"se. se samutthaaya bahirbhuuya nirjana. m sthaana. m gatvaa tatra praarthayaa ncakre|
Early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up and slipped out to a solitary place to pray.
36 anantara. m "simon tatsa"ngina"sca tasya pa"scaad gatavanta. h|
Simon and his companions went to look for Him,
37 tadudde"sa. m praapya tamavadan sarvve lokaastvaa. m m. rgayante|
and when they found Him, they said, “Everyone is looking for You!”
38 tadaa so. akathayat aagacchata vaya. m samiipasthaani nagaraa. ni yaama. h, yato. aha. m tatra kathaa. m pracaarayitu. m bahiraagamam|
But Jesus answered, “Let us go on to the neighboring towns so I can preach there as well, for that is why I have come.”
39 atha sa te. saa. m gaaliilprade"sasya sarvve. su bhajanag. rhe. su kathaa. h pracaarayaa ncakre bhuutaanatyaajaya nca|
So He went throughout Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and driving out demons.
40 anantarameka. h ku. s.thii samaagatya tatsammukhe jaanupaata. m vinaya nca k. rtvaa kathitavaan yadi bhavaan icchati tarhi maa. m pari. skarttu. m "saknoti|
Then a leper came to Jesus, begging on his knees: “If You are willing, You can make me clean.”
41 tata. h k. rpaalu ryii"su. h karau prasaaryya ta. m spa. s.tvaa kathayaamaasa
Moved with compassion, Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” He said. “Be clean!”
42 mamecchaa vidyate tva. m pari. sk. rto bhava| etatkathaayaa. h kathanamaatraat sa ku. s.thii rogaanmukta. h pari. sk. rto. abhavat|
And immediately the leprosy left him, and the man was cleansed.
43 tadaa sa ta. m vis. rjan gaa. dhamaadi"sya jagaada
Jesus promptly sent him away with a stern warning:
44 saavadhaano bhava kathaamimaa. m kamapi maa vada; svaatmaana. m yaajaka. m dar"saya, lokebhya. h svapari. sk. rte. h pramaa. nadaanaaya muusaanir. niita. m yaddaana. m taduts. rjasva ca|
“See that you don’t tell anyone. But go, show yourself to the priest and present the offering Moses prescribed for your cleansing, as a testimony to them.”
45 kintu sa gatvaa tat karmma ittha. m vistaaryya pracaarayitu. m praarebhe tenaiva yii"su. h puna. h saprakaa"sa. m nagara. m prave. s.tu. m naa"saknot tatohetorbahi. h kaananasthaane tasyau; tathaapi caturddigbhyo lokaastasya samiipamaayayu. h|
But the man went out and openly began to proclaim and spread the news. Consequently, Jesus could no longer enter a town in plain view, but He stayed out in solitary places. Yet people came to Him from every quarter.
