6 Now John was clothed with camel's hair and wore a leather belt around his waist; he ate locusts and wild honey.
And John was clothed with camel’s hair, and [had] a leathern girdle about his loins, and did eat locusts and wild honey.
7 He proclaimed, “After me comes one who is mightier than I, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie.

9 In those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan.

10 Immediately as he was coming up from the water, he saw the heavens being split apart and the Spirit descending on him like a dove.
And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens rent asunder, and the Spirit as a dove descending upon him:
11 Then a voice came from heaven: “Yoʋ are my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
And a voice came out of the heavens, Thou art my beloved Son, in thee I am well pleased.
12 Immediately the Spirit drove him out into the wilderness,

14 After John was put in prison, Jesus went to Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God

15 and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has drawn near. Repent and believe in the gospel.”

16 As Jesus was walking by the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother (that is, Simon's brother) casting a net in the sea, for they were fishermen.
And passing along by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew the brother of Simon casting a net in the sea: for they were fishers.
17 Jesus said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you become fishers of men.”
And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.
18 So they immediately left their nets and followed him.
And straightway they left the nets, and followed him.
19 Going on a little farther from there, he saw James the son of Zebedee and John his brother as they were in the boat mending their 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.
20 Immediately he called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men and followed him.
And straightway he called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, and went after him.
21 They went to Capernaum, and immediately on the Sabbath Jesus went into the synagogue and began teaching.
And they go into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath day he entered into the synagogue and taught.
22 The people were astonished at his teaching, because he was teaching them as one who had authority, and not as the scribes.
And they were astonished at his teaching: for he taught them as having authority, and not as the scribes.
23 Now in their synagogue there was a man who was possessed by an unclean spirit. He cried out,
And straightway there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,
24 “Leave us alone! What do yoʋ have to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have yoʋ come to destroy us? I know who yoʋ 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 But Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be silent, and come out of him!”
And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him.
26 So the unclean spirit convulsed the man and came out of him, crying out with a loud voice.
And the unclean spirit, tearing him and crying with a loud voice, came out of him.
27 All the people were amazed so that they questioned among themselves, saying, “What is this? What new teaching is this that with authority he commands even 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 news about him immediately spread throughout all the surrounding region of Galilee.
And the report of him went out straightway everywhere into all the region of Galilee round about.
29 After leaving the synagogue, they immediately went to the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.

30 Now Simon's mother-in-law lay sick with a fever, and they immediately told Jesus about her.

31 So he went over to her and raised her up, taking hold of her hand. Immediately the fever left her, and she began to serve them.
and he came and took her by the hand, and raised her up; and the fever left her, and she ministered unto them.
32 When evening came, after the sun had set, they brought to Jesus all who were sick and those who were possessed by demons.
And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all that were sick, and them that were possessed with devils.
33 The whole city was gathered together at the door,

34 and he healed many who were sick with various diseases. He also cast out many demons, but he would not allow the demons to speak, because they knew who he was.
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 Early the next morning, while it was still very dark, Jesus rose and departed. He went off to a desolate place and prayed 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 Simon and his companions searched diligently for him,
And Simon and they that were with him followed after him;
37 and when they found him, they said to him, “Everyone is looking for yoʋ.”
and they found him, and say unto him, All are seeking thee.
38 Jesus said to them, “Let us go into the neighboring towns so that I may preach there also, for that is why I have come.”
And he saith unto them, Let us go elsewhere into the next towns, that I may preach there also; for to this end came I forth.
39 So he was preaching in their synagogues in all of Galilee and casting out demons.
And he went into their synagogues throughout all Galilee, preaching and casting out devils.
40 Then a leper came up and knelt before him, begging him, “If yoʋ are willing, yoʋ can make me clean.”
And there cometh to him a leper, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
41 Moved with compassion, Jesus stretched out his hand, touched the man, and said to him, “I am willing; be made clean.”
And being moved with compassion, he stretched forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou made clean.
42 When he said this, the leprosy immediately departed from the man, and he was made clean.
And straightway the leprosy departed from him, and he was made clean.
43 Then Jesus sternly warned him and immediately sent him away,
And he strictly charged him, and straightway sent him out,
44 saying to him, “Be sure not to say anything to anyone, but go show yoʋrself to the priest and offer for yoʋr cleansing what Moses commanded, as 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 But the man went out and began to proclaim it widely and to spread the news, so that Jesus could no longer openly enter a town, but was out in desolate places. Yet people were coming to him from everywhere.
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.
