Mark 1
1 A beginning of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, Son of God!
The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the 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 the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.
3 “A voice calling out: ‘In the wilderness prepare the way of the Lord, make His paths straight!’”—
The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye 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.
John was baptizing in the wilderness, and preaching the baptism of repentance for the 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 land of Judaea, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized 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 with camel’s hair, and with a leather belt around his loins; and he 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 preached, saying, There cometh after me one mightier than I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and loose.
8 I indeed baptized you with water, but He will baptize you with Holy Spirit.”
I indeed have baptized you in water: but he shall baptize you in 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 to Galilee, and was baptized by John in 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 immediately coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like 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 from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
12 Immediately the Spirit impelled Him into the wilderness.
And immediately the Spirit driveth him 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 there 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,
Now after John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel 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 is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
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.
Now as he was walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea: for they were fishermen.
17 So Jesus said to them: “Come, follow me and I will turn you into fishers of men.”
And Jesus said to them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.
18 At once they left their nets and followed Him.
And immediately they forsook their nets, and 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 when he had gone a little further from there, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the boat mending their nets.
20 Right away He called them, and leaving their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men they followed Him.
And immediately he called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, and went after him.
21 Then they went into Capernaum. The very next Sabbath He entered the synagogue and began to teach.
And they went into Capernaum; and immediately 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 one that had 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 with 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, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? 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 when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice, he 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 they were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, What thing is this? what new doctrine is this? for with authority he commandeth even the unclean spirits, and they obey him.
28 So His fame spread directly into the whole surrounding area of Galilee.
And immediately his fame spread abroad throughout all the region surrounding Galilee.
29 Immediately upon exiting the synagogue they went into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
And immediately, when they had come out of the synagogue, they entered into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
30 Simon's mother-in-law was lying down with a fever, so without delay they told Him about her.
But the mother of Simon’s wife lay sick with a fever, and immediately they tell him of 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 came and took her by the hand, and lifted her up; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered to them.
32 That evening, when the sun had set, they started bringing to Him all who were sick and the demonized.
And at evening, when the sun had set, they brought to him all that were diseased, and them that were possessed with demons.
33 So much so that the whole town was gathered at the door,
And all the 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 that were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons; and permitted not 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 in the morning, rising a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.
36 Simon and those with him hunted for Him,
And Simon and they that were with him followed after him.
37 and upon finding Him they said to Him, “Everyone is looking for you.”
And when they had found him, they said to him, All men seek for 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 said to them, Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also: for this purpose have I come.
39 He was constantly preaching in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and also casting out demons.
And he preached in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and cast 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 came a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying to him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
41 So being moved with compassion, Jesus stretched out His hand and touched him, and said to him: “I want to; be cleansed!”
And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched him, and saith to him, I will; be thou clean.
42 And when He said this, immediately the leprosy left him, and he was cleansed.
And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed.
43 And He sent him away at once, sternly warning him,
And he strictly charged him, and immediately 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 saith to him, See thou say nothing to any man: but go, show thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing those things which Moses commanded, 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 went out, and began to proclaim it freely, and to blaze abroad the matter, so that Jesus could no more openly enter into the city, but was without in desert places: and they came to him from every quarter.
