< Mark 1 >

1 The beginning of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
A beginning of the good news of Jesus Christ, Son of God.
2 As it has been written by the prophet Isaiah: “Behold, I send my Angel before your face, who shall prepare your way before you.
As it hath been written in the prophets, 'Lo, I send My messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee,' —
3 The voice of one crying out in the desert: Prepare the way of the Lord; make straight his paths.”
'A voice of one calling in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, straight make ye his paths,' —
4 John was in the desert, baptizing and preaching a baptism of repentance, as a remission of sins.
John came baptizing in the wilderness, and proclaiming a baptism of reformation — to remission of sins,
5 And there went out to him all the region of Judea and all those of Jerusalem, and they were baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.
and there were going forth to him all the region of Judea, and they of Jerusalem, and they were all baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.
6 And John was clothed with camel’s hair and with a leather belt around his waist. And he ate locusts and wild honey.
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 preached, saying: “One stronger than me comes after me. I am not worthy to reach down and loosen the laces of his shoes.
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;
8 I have baptized you with water. Yet truly, he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.”
I indeed did baptize you with water, but he shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit.'
9 And it happened that, in those days, Jesus arrived from Nazareth of Galilee. And he was baptized by John in the Jordan.
And it came to pass in those days, Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John at the Jordan;
10 And immediately, upon ascending from the water, he saw the heavens opened and the Spirit, like a dove, descending, and remaining with him.
and immediately coming up from the water, he saw the heavens dividing, and the Spirit as a dove coming down upon him;
11 And there was a voice from heaven: “You are my beloved Son; in you I am well pleased.”
and a voice came out of the heavens, 'Thou art My Son — the Beloved, in whom I did delight.'
12 And immediately the Spirit prompted him into the desert.
And immediately doth the Spirit put him forth to the wilderness,
13 And he was in the desert for forty days and forty nights. And he was tempted by Satan. And he was with the wild animals, and the Angels ministered to him.
and he was there in the wilderness forty days, being tempted by the Adversary, and he was with the beasts, and the messengers were ministering to him.
14 Then, after John was handed over, Jesus went into Galilee, preaching the Gospel of the kingdom of God,
And after the delivering up of John, Jesus came to Galilee, proclaiming the good news of the reign of God,
15 and saying: “For the time has been fulfilled and the kingdom of God has drawn near. Repent and believe in the Gospel.”
and saying — 'Fulfilled hath been the time, and the reign of God hath come nigh, reform ye, and believe in the good news.'
16 And passing by the shore of the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew, casting nets into the sea, for they were fishermen.
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 after me, and I will make you fishers of men.”
and Jesus said to them, 'Come ye after me, and I shall make you to become fishers of men;'
18 And at once abandoning their nets, they followed him.
and immediately, having left their nets, they followed him.
19 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.
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,
20 And immediately he called them. And leaving behind their father Zebedee in the boat with his hired hands, they followed him.
and immediately he called them, and, having left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, they went away after him.
21 And they entered into Capernaum. And entering into the synagogue promptly on the Sabbaths, he taught them.
And they go on to Capernaum, and immediately, on the sabbaths, having gone into the synagogue, he was teaching,
22 And they were astonished over his doctrine. For he was teaching them as one who has authority, and not like the scribes.
and they were astonished at his teaching, for he was teaching them as having authority, and not as the scribes.
23 And in their synagogue, there was a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,
And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit, and he cried out,
24 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.”
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.'
25 And Jesus admonished him, saying, “Be silent, and depart from the man.”
And Jesus rebuked him, saying, 'Be silenced, and come forth out of him,'
26 And the unclean spirit, convulsing him and crying out with a loud voice, departed from him.
and the unclean spirit having torn him, and having cried with a great voice, came forth out of him,
27 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.”
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!'
28 And his fame went out quickly, throughout the entire region of Galilee.
And the fame of him went forth immediately to all the region, round about, of Galilee.
29 And soon after departing from the synagogue, they went into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
And immediately, having come forth out of the synagogue, they went to the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John,
30 But the mother-in-law of Simon lay ill with a fever. And at once they told him about her.
and the mother-in-law of Simon was lying fevered, and immediately they tell him about her,
31 And drawing near to her, he raised her up, taking her by the hand. And immediately the fever left her, and she ministered to them.
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.
32 Then, when evening arrived, after the sun had set, they brought to him all who had maladies and those who had demons.
And evening having come, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all who were ill, and who were demoniacs,
33 And the entire city was gathered together at the door.
and the whole city was gathered together near the door,
34 And he healed many who were troubled with various illnesses. And he cast out many demons, but he would not permit them to speak, because they knew him.
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.
35 And rising up very early, departing, he went out to a deserted place, and there he prayed.
And very early, it being yet night, having risen, he went forth, and went away to a desert place, and was there praying;
36 And Simon, and those who were with him, followed after him.
and Simon and those with him went in quest of him,
37 And when they had found him, they said to him, “For everyone is seeking you.”
and having found him, they say to him, — 'All do seek thee;'
38 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.”
and he saith to them, 'We may go to the next towns, that there also I may preach, for for this I came forth.'
39 And he was preaching in their synagogues and throughout all of Galilee, and casting out demons.
And he was preaching in their synagogues, in all Galilee, and is casting out the demons,
40 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.”
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.'
41 Then Jesus, taking pity on him, reached out his hand. And touching him, he said to him: “I am willing. Be cleansed.”
And Jesus having been moved with compassion, having stretched forth the hand, touched him, and saith to him, 'I will; be thou cleansed;'
42 And after he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed.
and he having spoken, immediately the leprosy went away from him, and he was cleansed.
43 And he admonished him, and he promptly sent him away.
And having sternly charged him, immediately he put him forth,
44 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.”
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.'
45 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.
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.
