Mark 1
1 Beginning of the glad-message of Jesus Christ.
THE beginning of the gospel of Jesus the Messiah, the Son of God.
2 According as it is written in Isaiah the prophet—Lo! I send my messenger before thy face, Who shall prepare thy way, —
As it is written in Isaiah the prophet: Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way.
3 A voice of one crying aloud—In the wilderness, prepare ye the way of the Lord, straight, be making his paths.
The voice of one crying in the wilderness: Prepare ye the way of the Lord; make smooth his paths.
4 John the Immerser came, in the wilderness, proclaiming an immersion of repentance for remission of sins;
John baptized in the wilderness, and proclaimed the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.
5 and there were going out unto him all the Judaea country and all they of Jerusalem, and were being immersed by him in the Jordan river, openly confessing their sins;
And there went out to him all the region of Judaea, and all the people of Jerusalem; and he baptized them in the river Jordan, while they confessed their sins.
6 and John was clothed with camel’s-hair and a leathern girdle about his loins, and was eating locusts and wild honey;
And this John was clad in raiment of camels' hair; and was girded with a cincture of skin about his loins; and his food was locusts and wild honey.
7 and he proclaimed, saying—He that is mightier than I cometh after [me], of whom I am not worthy to stoop and unloose the strap of his sandals:
And he proclaimed, and said: Behold, after me cometh one more powerful than I, of whom I am not worthy to stoop and untie the fastenings of his shoes.
8 I, have immersed you, with water, —He, will immerse you, with the Holy Spirit.
I have baptized you with water; but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.
9 And it came to pass, in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was immersed into the Jordan by John;
And it occurred, in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee, and was baptized in Jordan by John.
10 And, straightway, as he was coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens rending asunder, and, the Spirit, as a dove, descending unto him;
And immediately on his coming from the water, he saw the heavens cleft, and the Spirit descending like a dove upon him.
11 and a voice [came] out of the heavens—Thou, art my Son, the Beloved, —In thee, I delight.
And there was a voice from the heavens: Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I delight.
12 And, straightway, the Spirit urgeth him forth into the wilderness;
And directly the Spirit carried him into the wilderness:
13 and he was in the wilderness, forty days, tempted by Satan, and was with the wild beasts, —and, the messengers, were ministering unto him.
and he was there in the wilderness forty days, being tempted by Satan. And he was with the wild beasts; and angels ministered to him.
14 And after John was delivered up, Jesus came into Galilee, proclaiming the glad-message of God,
After John was delivered up, Jesus came into Galilee, and proclaimed the tidings, of the kingdom of God,
15 [and saying]—The season is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God hath drawn near, —Repent ye, and have faith in the glad-message.
and said: The time is completed, and the kingdom of God is near. Repent ye, and believe the tidings.
16 And, passing by near the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon, and Andrew the brother of Simon, casting a net in the sea, —for they were fishers;
And as he walked near the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen.
17 and Jesus said unto them—Come after me, and I will make you become fishers of men;
And Jesus said to them: Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.
18 and, straightway, leaving the nets, they followed him.
And immediately they left their nets, and went after him.
19 And, going forward a little, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, and them who were in the boat putting in order the nets;
And as he passed on a little, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in a ship, and mending their nets.
20 and, straightway, he called them, —and, leaving their father Zebedee in the boat, with the hired men, they came away after him.
And he called them: and immediately they left Zebedee their father in the ship, with the hired servants, and went after him.
21 And they journey into Capernaum. And, straightway, on the Sabbath, entering into the synagogue, he began teaching;
And when they entered Capernaum, he immediately taught on the sabbath in their synagogues.
22 and they were being struck with astonishment at his teaching, —for he was teaching them as one having authority, and, not as the Scribes.
And they were astonished at his doctrine; for he taught them, as having authority, and not as their Scribes.
23 And, straightway, there was in their synagogue, a man in an impure spirit, —and he cried out aloud,
And in their synagogue was a man, in whom was an unclean spirit; and he cried out,
24 saying—What have we in common with thee, Jesus of Nazareth? Hast thou come to destroy us? I know thee, who thou art, The Holy One of God.
and said: What have we to do with thee? Jesus thou Nazarean. Hast 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, and said: Shut thy mouth, and come out of him.
26 And the impure spirit, tearing him, and calling out with a loud voice, came forth out of him;
And the unclean spirit threw him down, and cried with a loud voice, and came out of him.
27 and they were amazed, one and all, so that they began to discuss among themselves, saying—What is this? New teaching! With authority, to the impure spirits also, he giveth orders, and they obey him!
And they were all amazed, and inquired one of another, and said: What is this? What new doctrine is this? For with authority he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they obey him.
28 And forth went the report of him, straightway, on every hand, into the surrounding country of Galilee.
And immediately his fame spread into all the land of Galilee.
29 And, straightway, out of the synagogue, going forth, he went unto the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
And he retired from the synagogue, and entered into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
30 Now, the mother-in-law of Simon, was lying in a fever, and, straightway, they speak to him concerning her;
And Simon's mother-in-law was lying sick with a fever: and they told him about her.
31 and, coming near, he raised her up, grasping her hand, —and the fever left her, and she began ministering unto them.
And he came, and took her hand, and raised her up; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered to them.
32 And, evening arriving, when the sun went in, they were bearing unto him all who were sick, and them who were demonized;
And in the evening at the setting of the sun, they brought to him all them that were diseased, and demoniacs.
33 and all the city was gathered unto the door;
And all the city was collected at the door.
34 and he cured many that were sick with divers diseases, and, many demons, he cast out, and suffered not the demons to be talking, —because they knew him [to be Christ].
And he healed many who labored under divers diseases, and cast out many demons; and he suffered not the demons to speak, because they knew him.
35 And, very early by night arising, he went out [and departed] into a desert place, and, there, was praying;
And in the morning, he rose much before others, and retired to a solitary place, and there prayed.
36 and Simon, and they who were with him, went in quest of him,
And Simon and his associates sought for him.
37 and found him, and say unto him—All, are seeking thee;
And when they found him, they said to him: Every body is seeking for thee.
38 and he saith unto them—Let us be going elsewhere, into the neighbouring country-towns, in order that, there also, I may be making proclamation, —for, to this end, came I forth;
And he said to them: Go into the adjacent villages and towns; for there also I will preach, because therefore have I come.
39 and he came, making proclamation, into their synagogues, throughout the whole of Galilee, —and, was casting the demons out.
And he preached in all their synagogues, in all Galilee, and cast out demons.
40 And there cometh unto him, a leper, beseeching him and [kneeling], —saying unto him—If thou be willing, thou canst cleanse me;
And a leper came to him, and fell at his feet, and entreated him, and said to him: If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
41 and, moved with compassion, he stretched forth the hand, and touched him, and saith unto him—I am willing, Be cleansed!
And Jesus had compassion on him, and stretched out his hand, and touched him, and said: I will; be thou clean.
42 and, straightway, the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed;
And in that hour, his leprosy departed from him, and he became clean.
43 and, strictly charging him, straightway, he urged him forth;
And he charged him, and sent him away,
44 and saith unto him—Mind! unto no one, say aught, —but withdraw, thyself, show unto the priest, and offer for thy cleansing what things Moses enjoined, for a witness unto them.
and he said to him: See that thou tell no person; but go, show thyself to the priests, and offer an oblation on account of thy purification, as Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.
45 But, he, going forth, began to be proclaiming many things, and blazing abroad the story, so that, no longer, was it possible for him, openly, into a city, to enter, —but, outside, in desert places, [was he], and they were coming unto him from every quarter.
And he, as he went out, began to proclaim it much, and to divulge the matter; so that Jesus could not openly go into the city, but was without, in desert places; and they came to him from every quarter.
