And he preached, saying, There cometh after me he that is mightier than I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose.
8 I indeed immersed you in water, but He will immerse you in the Holy Spirit.”
I baptized you with water; but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost.
9 And it came to pass in those days, Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was immersed by John in the Jordan;

10 and immediately coming up from the water, He saw the heavens dividing, and the Spirit coming down on Him as a dove;

11 and a voice came out of the heavens, “You are My Son, the Beloved, in whom I delighted.”
And a voice came out of the heavens, Thou art my beloved Son, in thee I am well pleased.
12 And immediately the Spirit puts Him forth into the wilderness,

18 and immediately, having left their nets, they followed Him.

19 And having gone on there a little, He saw James of Zebedee, and his brother John, and they were in the boat refitting the nets,
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.

24 saying, “What [regards] us and You, Jesus the Nazarene? You came to destroy us; I have known You, who You are—the Holy One of God.”
saying, 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 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be silenced, and come forth out of him,”
And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him.
26 and the unclean spirit having convulsed him, and having cried with a great voice, came forth out of him,
And the unclean spirit, tearing him and crying with a loud voice, came out of him.
27 and they were all amazed, so as to reason among themselves, saying, “What is this? What new teaching [is] this? That with authority He also commands the unclean spirits, and they obey Him!”
And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What is this? a new teaching! with authority he commandeth even the unclean spirits, and they obey him.
28 And the fame of Him went forth immediately to all the region of Galilee.

32 And evening having come, when the sun set, they brought to Him all who were ill and who were demoniacs,
And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all that were sick, and them that were possessed with devils.
33 and the whole city was gathered together near the door,

And he healed many that were sick with divers diseases, and cast out many devils; and he suffered not the devils to speak, because they knew him.
35 And very early, it being yet night, having risen, He went forth, and went away to a desolate place, and was praying there;
And in the morning, a great while before day, he rose up and went out, and departed into a desert place, and there prayed.
36 and Simon and those with him went in quest of Him,
And Simon and they that were with him followed after him;
37 and having found Him, they say to Him, “All seek You”;
and they found him, and say unto him, All are seeking thee.
38 and He says to them, “We may go into the next towns, that there also I may preach, for—for this I came forth.”

And being moved with compassion, he stretched forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou made clean.
42 and He having spoken, immediately the leprosy went away from him, and he was cleansed.
And straightway the leprosy departed from him, and he was made clean.
43 And having sternly charged him, immediately He put him forth,
And he strictly charged him, and straightway sent him out,
44 and says to him, “See [that] you may say nothing to anyone, but go away, show yourself to the priest, and bring near for your cleansing the things Moses directed, for a testimony to them.”
and saith unto him, See thou say nothing to any man: but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing the things which Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.
45 And he, having gone forth, began to proclaim much, and to spread the thing abroad, so that He was no longer able to openly enter into the city, but He was outside in desolate places, and they were coming to Him from every quarter.
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.
