2 even as it is written in the prophet Isaiah, Behold, I am sending my messenger before your face to prepare your way.
As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.
3 The voice of one crying aloud. In the desert make ready a road for 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 In the desert came Johnwho baptized, and preached a baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;

6 And Johnwas clothed with camel’s hair, and he had a leather girdle round his loins, and he ate locusts, and "honey of the wood."
And John was clothed with camel’s hair, and with a leather belt around his loins; and he ate locusts and wild honey;
7 He made proclamation. "There is One mightier than I coming after me, and I am not worthy to stoop down and unfasten his sandal strap;
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 have baptized you in water, but he shall baptize you in the Holy Spirit."

9 It was at that time that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by Johnin the Jordan;

10 and as soon as he rose from the water he saw the sky cleft asunder, 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 from the sky. "Thou art my Son, my beloved; in thee is my delight."
And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
12 Then the Spirit drove him at once into the desert,
And immediately the Spirit driveth him into the wilderness.
13 and he remained in the desert for forty days, tempted by Satan; and he was among the wild beasts, but the angels were ministering to him.

14 After Johnhad been thrown into prison Jesus came into Galilee preaching the gospel of God.

16 And as he was passing along by the sea of Galilee he saw Simon and Andrew, Simon’s brother, casting their net into the sea, for they were fishermen;

17 so Jesus said to them, "Come after me, and I will make you to become 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 As he went a little farther on he saw James, the son of Zebedee, and Johnhis brother, who also were in their boat mending the 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 Straightway he called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants and went after him.
And immediately he called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, and went after him.
21 So they came to Capernaum, and as soon as the Sabbath Day came he went into the synagogue and began to teach.
And they went into Capernaum; and immediately on the sabbath he entered into the synagogue, and taught.
22 They were astonished at his teaching, for he was teaching them with authority, not like the Scribes.

23 And at that very moment, there in their synagogue, a man in the grip of an unclean spirit shrieked out.
And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,
24 "What business have you with us, you Jesus of Nazareth? Are you come to destroy us? I know you 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 But Jesus rebuked him, saying. "Be quit! Come out of him."
And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him.
26 So the unclean spirit, after tearing him, came out of him with a loud cry;
And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him.
27 and every one was amazed so that they began questioning among themselves. "What does this mean? A new teaching with authority? He lays commands even upon 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 And at once his fame spread everywhere through that part of Galilee.
And immediately his fame spread abroad throughout all the region surrounding Galilee.
29 On leaving the synagogue they went at once with Jamesand Johnto the house of Simon and Andrew.
And immediately, when they had come out of the synagogue, they entered into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
30 Now Simon’s mother-in-law lay sick of fever, and 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 came and took her hand and raised her up. The fever left her at once, and she began to wait upon them.

32 At evening when the sun had set, people came and brought to him all the sick and demon-possessed,

33 and the whole town was gathered at the door.
And all the city was gathered together at the door.
34 He cured many who were ill with various diseases, and drove out many demons. But he did not allow the demons to speak, because they knew who he was.
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 In the morning he rose a great while before day and went out to a desert place, and there prayed.
And in the morning, rising a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.
36 And Simon and his companions hunted him up,
And Simon and they that were with him followed after him.
37 and told him, "Every one is looking for you."
And when they had found him, they said to him, All men seek for thee.
38 "Let us go away," he answered, "to the neighboring country towns, that I may preach there, too; because for that purpose I came forth."
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 So he went throughout Galilee, preaching in the synagogues and driving out demons.
And he preached in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and cast out demons.
40 One day a leper cane to him and besought him as he knelt down to him, saying, "If you choose, 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 Jesus, moved with compassion, put out his hand and touched him, saying, "I do choose, be clean!"
And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched him, and saith to him, I will; be thou clean.
42 The leprosy at once left him, and he was made clean.
And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed.
43 Jesus immediately sent him away, charging him sternly and saying.
And he strictly charged him, and immediately sent him away;
44 "See you say nothing to any one; but go your way, show yourself to the priest, and offer for your purification what Moses commanded for 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 But he went out and began to tell every one and to publish it broadcast, so that Jesus could no longer enter any town openly; but he had to remain outside in lonely places, and people kept coming to him from every quarter.
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.
