Mark 1
1 Beginning of the glad-message of Jesus Christ.
The beginning of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, 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 has been written by the prophet Isaiah: “Behold, I send my Angel before your face, who shall prepare your way before you.
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 out in the desert: Prepare the way of the Lord; make straight his paths.”
4 John the Immerser came, in the wilderness, proclaiming an immersion of repentance for remission of sins;
John was in the desert, baptizing and preaching a baptism of repentance, as a 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 Judea and all those of Jerusalem, and they were baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing 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 John was clothed with camel’s hair and with a leather belt around his waist. And he ate 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 preached, saying: “One stronger than me comes after me. I am not worthy to reach down and loosen the laces of his shoes.
8 I, have immersed you, with water, —He, will immerse you, with the Holy Spirit.
I have baptized you with water. Yet truly, 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 happened that, in those days, Jesus arrived from Nazareth of Galilee. And he was baptized by John in the Jordan.
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, upon ascending from the water, he saw the heavens opened and the Spirit, like a dove, descending, and remaining with 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 heaven: “You are my beloved Son; in you I am well pleased.”
12 And, straightway, the Spirit urgeth him forth into the wilderness;
And immediately the Spirit prompted him into the desert.
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 in the desert for forty days and forty nights. And he was tempted by Satan. And he was with the wild animals, and the Angels ministered to him.
14 And after John was delivered up, Jesus came into Galilee, proclaiming the glad-message of God,
Then, after John was handed over, Jesus went into Galilee, preaching the Gospel 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 saying: “For the time has been fulfilled and the kingdom of God has drawn near. Repent and believe in the Gospel.”
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 passing by the shore of the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew, casting nets 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 at once abandoning their nets, they followed 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 continuing on a little ways from there, he saw James of Zebedee and his brother John, and they were mending their nets in a boat.
20 and, straightway, he called them, —and, leaving their father Zebedee in the boat, with the hired men, they came away after him.
And immediately he called them. And leaving behind their father Zebedee in the boat with his hired hands, they followed him.
21 And they journey into Capernaum. And, straightway, on the Sabbath, entering into the synagogue, he began teaching;
And they entered into Capernaum. And entering into the synagogue promptly on the Sabbaths, he taught them.
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 over his doctrine. For he was teaching them as one who has authority, and not like the scribes.
23 And, straightway, there was in their synagogue, a man in an impure spirit, —and he cried out aloud,
And in their synagogue, there was a man with 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.
saying: “What are we to you, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are: the Holy One of God.”
25 And Jesus rebuked him, [saying]—Be silenced, and come forth out of him!
And Jesus admonished him, saying, “Be silent, and depart from the man.”
26 And the impure spirit, tearing him, and calling out with a loud voice, came forth out of him;
And the unclean spirit, convulsing him and crying out with a loud voice, departed from 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 so amazed that they inquired among themselves, saying: “What is this? And what is this new doctrine? For with authority he commands even 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 his fame went out quickly, throughout the entire region 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 soon after departing from the synagogue, they went 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;
But the mother-in-law of Simon lay ill with a fever. And at once 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 drawing near to her, he raised her up, taking her by the hand. 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;
Then, when evening arrived, after the sun had set, they brought to him all who had maladies and those who had demons.
33 and all the city was gathered unto the door;
And the entire city was gathered together 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 were troubled with various illnesses. And he cast out many demons, but he would not permit them 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 rising up very early, departing, he went out to a deserted place, and there he prayed.
36 and Simon, and they who were with him, went in quest of him,
And Simon, and those who were with him, followed after him.
37 and found him, and say unto him—All, are seeking thee;
And when they had found him, they said to him, “For everyone is seeking you.”
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: “Let us go into the neighboring towns and cities, so that I may preach there also. Indeed, it was for this reason that I came.”
39 and he came, making proclamation, into their synagogues, throughout the whole of Galilee, —and, was casting the demons out.
And he was preaching in their synagogues and throughout all of Galilee, and casting 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, begging him. And kneeling down, he said to him, “If you are willing, you are able to cleanse me.”
41 and, moved with compassion, he stretched forth the hand, and touched him, and saith unto him—I am willing, Be cleansed!
Then Jesus, taking pity on him, reached out his hand. And touching him, he said to him: “I am willing. Be cleansed.”
42 and, straightway, the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed;
And after he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed.
43 and, strictly charging him, straightway, he urged him forth;
And he admonished him, and he promptly 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 to it that you tell no one. But go and show yourself to the high priest, and offer for your cleansing that which Moses instructed, as a testimony for 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.
But having departed, he began to preach and to disseminate the word, so that he was no longer able to openly enter a city, but had to remain outside, in deserted places. And they were gathered to him from every direction.
