Mark 1
1 A beginning of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, Son of God!
Beginning of the glad tidings of Jesus Christ, Son of God;
2 As it is written in the prophets —“Take note, I am sending my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way before you.”
as it is written in [Isaiah] the prophet, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way.
3 “A voice calling out: ‘In the wilderness prepare the way of the Lord, make His paths straight!’”—
Voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare the way of [the] Lord, make his paths straight.
4 John started baptizing in the wilderness and proclaiming a baptism of repentance for forgiveness of sins.
There came John baptising in the wilderness, and preaching [the] baptism of repentance for remission of sins.
5 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.
And there went out to him all the district of Judaea, and all they of Jerusalem, and were baptised by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.
6 Now John was clothed with camel's hair and with a leather belt around his waist; and he was eating locusts and wild honey.
And John was clothed in camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins, and ate locusts and wild honey.
7 And he was proclaiming: “After me my Superior is coming, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to stoop down and loosen.
And he preached, saying, There comes he that is mightier than I after me, the thong of whose sandals I am not fit to stoop down and unloose.
8 I indeed baptized you with water, but He will baptize you with Holy Spirit.”
I indeed have baptised you with water, but he shall baptise you with [the] Holy Spirit.
9 Well it happened in those days that Jesus came from Natsareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan.
And it came to pass in those days [that] Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptised by John at the Jordan.
10 And immediately upon coming up from the water He saw the heavens being torn open and the Spirit, like a dove, descending upon Him.
And straightway going up from the water, he saw the heavens parting asunder, and the Spirit, as a dove, descending upon him.
11 And a Voice came from the heavens: “You are my Son, the beloved, in whom I am well pleased!”
And there came a voice out of the heavens: Thou art my beloved Son, in thee I have found my delight.
12 Immediately the Spirit impelled Him into the wilderness.
And immediately the Spirit drives him out into the wilderness.
13 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.
And he was in the wilderness forty days tempted by Satan, and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered to him.
14 Now after John was put in prison, Jesus went into Galilee proclaiming the Gospel of the Kingdom of God,
But after John was delivered up, Jesus came into Galilee preaching the glad tidings of the kingdom of God,
15 and saying: “The time has been fulfilled and the Kingdom of God has approached. Repent and believe in the Gospel.”
and saying, The time is fulfilled and the kingdom of God has drawn nigh; repent and believe in the glad tidings.
16 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.
And walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon, and Andrew, [Simon's] brother, casting out a net in the sea, for they were fishers.
17 So Jesus said to them: “Come, follow me and I will turn you into fishers of men.”
And Jesus said to them, Come after me, and I will make you become fishers of men;
18 At once they left their nets and followed Him.
and straightway leaving their trawl-nets they followed him.
19 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.
And going on thence a little, he saw James the [son] of Zebedee, and John his brother, and these [were] in the ship repairing the trawl-nets;
20 Right away He called them, and leaving their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men they followed Him.
and straightway he called them; and leaving their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants, they went away after him.
21 Then they went into Capernaum. The very next Sabbath He entered the synagogue and began to teach.
And they go into Capernaum. And straightway on the sabbath he entered into the synagogue and taught.
22 And they kept on being amazed at His teaching, because He was teaching them as one having authority, and not like the scribes.
And they were astonished at his doctrine, for he taught them as having authority, and not as the scribes.
23 Now there was a man in their synagogue with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,
And there was in their synagogue a man [possessed] by an unclean spirit, and he cried out
24 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!”
saying, Eh! what have we to do with thee, Jesus, Nazarene? Art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the holy one of God.
25 So Jesus rebuked him saying: “Shut up and get out of him!”
And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace and come out of him.
26 The unclean spirit, convulsing him and crying with a loud voice, came out of him.
And the unclean spirit, having torn him, and uttered a cry with a loud voice, came out of him.
27 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!”
And all were amazed, so that they questioned together among themselves, saying, What is this? what new doctrine is this? for with authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him.
28 So His fame spread directly into the whole surrounding area of Galilee.
And his fame went out straightway into the whole region of Galilee around.
29 Immediately upon exiting the synagogue they went into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
And straightway going out of the synagogue, they came with James and John into the house of Simon and Andrew.
30 Simon's mother-in-law was lying down with a fever, so without delay they told Him about her.
And the mother-in-law of Simon lay in a fever. And straightway they speak to him about her.
31 So He went and grasping her hand lifted her up; immediately the fever left her and she began to serve them.
And he went up to [her] and raised her up, having taken her by the hand, and straightway the fever left her, and she served them.
32 That evening, when the sun had set, they started bringing to Him all who were sick and the demonized.
But evening being come, when the sun had gone down, they brought to him all that were suffering, and those possessed by demons;
33 So much so that the whole town was gathered at the door,
and the whole city was gathered together at the door.
34 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.
And he healed many suffering from various diseases; and he cast out many demons, and did not suffer the demons to speak because they knew him.
35 Now very early, still night, He got up, slipped out, and went off to a solitary place, where He was praying.
And rising in the morning long before day, he went out and went away into a desert place, and there prayed.
36 Simon and those with him hunted for Him,
And Simon and those with him went after him:
37 and upon finding Him they said to Him, “Everyone is looking for you.”
and having found him, they say to him, All seek thee.
38 But He said to them: “Let us go to the neighboring towns, so I can preach there also; that is why I have come.”
And he says to them, Let us go elsewhere into the neighbouring country towns, that I may preach there also, for for this purpose am I come forth.
39 He was constantly preaching in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and also casting out demons.
And he was preaching in their synagogues in the whole of Galilee, and casting out demons.
40 A leper came to Him, imploring Him, kneeling before Him and saying to Him, “If you want to, you are able to cleanse me.”
And there comes to him a leper, beseeching him, and falling on his knees to him, and saying to him, If thou wilt thou canst cleanse me.
41 So being moved with compassion, Jesus stretched out His hand and touched him, and said to him: “I want to; be cleansed!”
But Jesus, moved with compassion, having stretched out his hand, touched him, and says to him, I will, be thou cleansed.
42 And when He said this, immediately the leprosy left him, and he was cleansed.
And as he spoke straightway the leprosy left him, and he was cleansed.
43 And He sent him away at once, sternly warning him,
And having sharply charged him, he straightway sent him away,
44 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.”
and says to him, See thou say nothing to any one, but go, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing what Moses ordained, for a testimony to them.
45 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.
But he, having gone forth, began to proclaim [it] much, and to spread the matter abroad, so that he could no longer enter openly into the city, but was without in desert places, and they came to him from every side.
