17 Jesus said to them, “Come after me, and I will make you into fishers for men.”
(for they were fishermen, ) and Jesus said unto them, Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men:
18 Immediately they left their nets, and followed him.

19 Going on a little further from there, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who were also in the boat mending the 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:

24 saying, “Ha! What do we have to do with you, Jesus, you Nazarene? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you 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 Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be quiet, 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 The unclean spirit, convulsing him and crying with a loud voice, came out of him.
and roaring with a loud voice, came out of him.
27 They were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, “What is this? A new teaching? For 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 The report of him went out immediately everywhere into all the region of Galilee and its surrounding area.
And straitway his fame spread into all the country round about Galilee.
29 Immediately, when they had come out of the synagogue, they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.

32 At evening, when the sun had set, they brought to him all who were sick and those who were possessed by demons.

35 Early in the morning, while it was still dark, he rose up and went out, and departed into a deserted 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 those who were with him searched for him.
And Simon, and they that were with him, went in quest of Him:
37 They found him and told him, “Everyone is looking for you.”
and when they found Him, they said to Him, all the people are seeking for thee.
38 He said to them, “Let’s go elsewhere into the next towns, that I may preach there also, because I came out for this reason.”
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 He went into their synagogues throughout all Galilee, preaching and casting out demons.

40 A leper came to him, begging him, kneeling down to him, and saying to him, “If you want to, you 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 Being moved with compassion, he stretched out his hand, and touched him, and said to him, “I want to. 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 had said this, immediately the leprosy departed from him 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 He strictly warned him and immediately sent him out,
And he gave him a strict charge, and immediately dismissed him,
44 and said to him, “See that you say nothing to anybody, but go show yourself to the priest and offer for your cleansing the things which Moses commanded, for 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 he went out, and began to proclaim it much, and to spread about the matter, so that Jesus could no more openly enter into a city, but was outside in desert places. People came 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.
