8 I baptized you in water; but he shall baptize you in the Holy Spirit.

11 and a voice came out of the heavens, Thou art my beloved Son, in thee I am well pleased.

18 And straightway they left the nets, and followed him.
And at once abandoning their nets, they followed him.
19 And going on a little further, he saw James the [son] of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the boat mending the nets.
And continuing on a little ways from there, he saw James of Zebedee and his brother John, and they were mending their nets in a boat.

24 saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus thou Nazarene? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.
saying: “What are we to you, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are: the Holy One of God.”
25 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him.
And Jesus admonished him, saying, “Be silent, and depart from the man.”
26 And the unclean spirit, tearing him and crying with a loud voice, came out of him.
And the unclean spirit, convulsing him and crying out with a loud voice, departed from him.

And they were all so amazed that they inquired among themselves, saying: “What is this? And what is this new doctrine? For with authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him.”
28 And the report of him went out straightway everywhere into all the region of Galilee round about.

37 and they found him, and say unto him, All are seeking thee.
And when they had found him, they said to him, “For everyone is seeking you.”
38 And he saith unto them, Let us go elsewhere into the next towns, that I may preach there also; for to this end came I forth.
And he said to them: “Let us go into the neighboring towns and cities, so that I may preach there also. Indeed, it was for this reason that I came.”
39 And he went into their synagogues throughout all Galilee, preaching and casting out demons.

40 And there cometh to him a leper, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
And a leper came to him, begging him. And kneeling down, he said to him, “If you are willing, you are able to cleanse me.”
41 And being moved with compassion, he stretched forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou made clean.
Then Jesus, taking pity on him, reached out his hand. And touching him, he said to him: “I am willing. Be cleansed.”
42 And straightway the leprosy departed from him, and he was made clean.
And after he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed.
43 And he strictly charged him, and straightway sent him out,
And he admonished him, and he promptly sent him away.
44 and saith unto him, See thou say nothing to any man: but go show thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing the things which Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.
And he said to him: “See to it that you tell no one. But go and show yourself to the high priest, and offer for your cleansing that which Moses instructed, as a testimony for them.”
45 But he went out, and began to publish it much, and to spread abroad the matter, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly enter into a city, but was without in desert places: and they came to him from every quarter.
But having departed, he began to preach and to disseminate the word, so that he was no longer able to openly enter a city, but had to remain outside, in deserted places. And they were gathered to him from every direction.
