Mark 1
1 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
Ἀρχὴ τοῦ εὐαγγελίου Ἰησοῦ ⸀χριστοῦ
2 As it is written in the Prophets, “Behold, I am sending my messenger ahead of yoʋ, who will prepare yoʋr way before yoʋ,
⸀Καθὼςγέγραπται ἐν ⸂τῷ Ἠσαΐᾳ τῷ προφήτῃ· ⸀Ἰδοὺ ἀποστέλλω τὸν ἄγγελόν μου πρὸ προσώπου σου, ὃς κατασκευάσει τὴν ὁδόν ⸀σου·
3 the voice of one crying out in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way of the Lord; make his paths straight,’”
φωνὴ βοῶντος ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ· Ἑτοιμάσατε τὴν ὁδὸν κυρίου, εὐθείας ποιεῖτε τὰς τρίβους αὐτοῦ,
4 John came baptizing in the wilderness and preaching a baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.
ἐγένετο Ἰωάννης ⸀ὁβαπτίζων ἐν τῇ ⸀ἐρήμῳκηρύσσων βάπτισμα μετανοίας εἰς ἄφεσιν ἁμαρτιῶν.
5 The whole Judean countryside was going out to him, and so were the people of Jerusalem. They were all being baptized by him in the Jordan River, confessing their sins.
καὶ ἐξεπορεύετο πρὸς αὐτὸν πᾶσα ἡ Ἰουδαία χώρα καὶ οἱ Ἱεροσολυμῖται ⸂πάντες, καὶ ἐβαπτίζοντο⸃ ⸂ὑπʼ αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ Ἰορδάνῃ ποταμῷ⸃ ἐξομολογούμενοι τὰς ἁμαρτίας αὐτῶν.
6 Now John was clothed with camel's hair and wore a leather belt around his waist; he ate locusts and wild honey.
⸂καὶ ἦν ὁ Ἰωάννης ἐνδεδυμένος τρίχας καμήλου καὶ ζώνην δερματίνην περὶ τὴν ὀσφὺν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔσθων ἀκρίδας καὶ μέλι ἄγριον.
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.
καὶ ἐκήρυσσεν λέγων· Ἔρχεται ὁ ἰσχυρότερός μου ὀπίσω μου, οὗ οὐκ εἰμὶ ἱκανὸς κύψας λῦσαι τὸν ἱμάντα τῶν ὑποδημάτων αὐτοῦ·
8 I have baptized you with water, but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.”
⸀ἐγὼἐβάπτισα ⸀ὑμᾶςὕδατι, αὐτὸς δὲ βαπτίσει ὑμᾶς ⸀ἐνπνεύματι ἁγίῳ.
9 In those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan.
Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν ἐκείναις ταῖς ἡμέραις ἦλθεν Ἰησοῦς ἀπὸ Ναζαρὲτ τῆς Γαλιλαίας καὶ ἐβαπτίσθη ⸂εἰς τὸν Ἰορδάνην ὑπὸ Ἰωάννου.
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.
καὶ ⸀εὐθὺςἀναβαίνων ⸀ἐκτοῦ ὕδατος εἶδεν σχιζομένους τοὺς οὐρανοὺς καὶ τὸ πνεῦμα ⸀ὡςπεριστερὰν καταβαῖνον ⸀εἰςαὐτόν·
11 Then a voice came from heaven: “Yoʋ are my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
καὶ φωνὴ ἐγένετο ἐκ τῶν οὐρανῶν· Σὺ εἶ ὁ υἱός μου ὁ ἀγαπητός, ἐν ⸀σοὶεὐδόκησα.
12 Immediately the Spirit drove him out into the wilderness,
Καὶ εὐθὺς τὸ πνεῦμα αὐτὸν ἐκβάλλει εἰς τὴν ἔρημον.
13 and he was there in the wilderness for forty days, being tempted by Satan. He was with the wild beasts, and the angels ministered to him.
καὶ ⸀ἦνἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ ⸂τεσσεράκοντα ἡμέρας πειραζόμενος ὑπὸ τοῦ Σατανᾶ, καὶ ἦν μετὰ τῶν θηρίων, καὶ οἱ ἄγγελοι διηκόνουν αὐτῷ.
14 After John was put in prison, Jesus went to Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God
⸂Καὶ μετὰ τὸ παραδοθῆναι τὸν Ἰωάννην ἦλθεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἰς τὴν Γαλιλαίαν κηρύσσων τὸ ⸀εὐαγγέλιοντοῦ θεοῦ
15 and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has drawn near. Repent and believe in the gospel.”
καὶ λέγων ὅτι Πεπλήρωται ὁ καιρὸς καὶ ἤγγικεν ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ θεοῦ· μετανοεῖτε καὶ πιστεύετε ἐν τῷ εὐαγγελίῳ.
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.
⸂Καὶ παράγων παρὰ τὴν θάλασσαν τῆς Γαλιλαίας εἶδεν Σίμωνα καὶ Ἀνδρέαν τὸν ⸀ἀδελφὸνΣίμωνος ⸀ἀμφιβάλλονταςἐν τῇ θαλάσσῃ, ἦσαν γὰρ ἁλιεῖς·
17 Jesus said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you become fishers of men.”
καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς· Δεῦτε ὀπίσω μου, καὶ ποιήσω ὑμᾶς γενέσθαι ἁλιεῖς ἀνθρώπων.
18 So they immediately left their nets and followed him.
καὶ ⸀εὐθὺςἀφέντες τὰ ⸀δίκτυαἠκολούθησαν αὐτῷ.
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.
καὶ ⸀προβὰςὀλίγον εἶδεν Ἰάκωβον τὸν τοῦ Ζεβεδαίου καὶ Ἰωάννην τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ, καὶ αὐτοὺς ἐν τῷ πλοίῳ καταρτίζοντας τὰ δίκτυα,
20 Immediately he called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men and followed him.
καὶ ⸀εὐθὺςἐκάλεσεν αὐτούς. καὶ ἀφέντες τὸν πατέρα αὐτῶν Ζεβεδαῖον ἐν τῷ πλοίῳ μετὰ τῶν μισθωτῶν ἀπῆλθον ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ.
21 They went to Capernaum, and immediately on the Sabbath Jesus went into the synagogue and began teaching.
Καὶ εἰσπορεύονται εἰς Καφαρναούμ. καὶ ⸀εὐθὺςτοῖς σάββασιν ⸂ἐδίδασκεν εἰς τὴν συναγωγήν.
22 The people were astonished at his teaching, because he was teaching them as one who had authority, and not as the scribes.
καὶ ἐξεπλήσσοντο ἐπὶ τῇ διδαχῇ αὐτοῦ, ἦν γὰρ διδάσκων αὐτοὺς ὡς ἐξουσίαν ἔχων καὶ οὐχ ὡς οἱ γραμματεῖς.
23 Now in their synagogue there was a man who was possessed by an unclean spirit. He cried out,
καὶ ⸀εὐθὺςἦν ἐν τῇ συναγωγῇ αὐτῶν ἄνθρωπος ἐν πνεύματι ἀκαθάρτῳ καὶ ἀνέκραξεν
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.”
λέγων· ⸀Τίἡμῖν καὶ σοί, Ἰησοῦ Ναζαρηνέ; ἦλθες ἀπολέσαι ἡμᾶς; οἶδά σε τίς εἶ, ὁ ἅγιος τοῦ θεοῦ.
25 But Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be silent, and come out of him!”
καὶ ἐπετίμησεν αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς λέγων· Φιμώθητι καὶ ἔξελθε ἐξ αὐτοῦ.
26 So the unclean spirit convulsed the man and came out of him, crying out with a loud voice.
καὶ σπαράξαν αὐτὸν τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ ἀκάθαρτον καὶ ⸀φωνῆσανφωνῇ μεγάλῃ ἐξῆλθεν ἐξ αὐτοῦ.
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?”
καὶ ἐθαμβήθησαν ⸀ἅπαντες ὥστε συζητεῖν ⸂πρὸς ἑαυτοὺς λέγοντας· Τί ἐστιν τοῦτο; ⸂διδαχὴ καινή· κατʼ ἐξουσίαν καὶ τοῖς πνεύμασι τοῖς ἀκαθάρτοις ἐπιτάσσει, καὶ ὑπακούουσιν αὐτῷ.
28 And the news about him immediately spread throughout all the surrounding region of Galilee.
⸂καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ἡ ἀκοὴ αὐτοῦ εὐθὺς ⸀πανταχοῦεἰς ὅλην τὴν περίχωρον τῆς Γαλιλαίας.
29 After leaving the synagogue, they immediately went to the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
Καὶ ⸀εὐθὺςἐκ τῆς συναγωγῆς ⸂ἐξελθόντες ἦλθον εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν Σίμωνος καὶ Ἀνδρέου μετὰ Ἰακώβου καὶ Ἰωάννου.
30 Now Simon's mother-in-law lay sick with a fever, and they immediately told Jesus about her.
ἡ δὲ πενθερὰ Σίμωνος κατέκειτο πυρέσσουσα, καὶ ⸀εὐθὺςλέγουσιν αὐτῷ περὶ αὐτῆς.
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.
καὶ προσελθὼν ἤγειρεν αὐτὴν κρατήσας τῆς ⸀χειρός καὶ ἀφῆκεν αὐτὴν ὁ ⸀πυρετός καὶ διηκόνει αὐτοῖς.
32 When evening came, after the sun had set, they brought to Jesus all who were sick and those who were possessed by demons.
Ὀψίας δὲ γενομένης, ὅτε ⸀ἔδυὁ ἥλιος, ἔφερον πρὸς αὐτὸν πάντας τοὺς κακῶς ἔχοντας καὶ τοὺς δαιμονιζομένους·
33 The whole city was gathered together at the door,
καὶ ⸂ἦν ὅλη ἡ πόλις ἐπισυνηγμένη πρὸς τὴν θύραν.
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.
καὶ ἐθεράπευσεν πολλοὺς κακῶς ἔχοντας ποικίλαις νόσοις, καὶ δαιμόνια πολλὰ ἐξέβαλεν, καὶ οὐκ ἤφιεν λαλεῖν τὰ δαιμόνια, ὅτι ᾔδεισαν ⸀αὐτόν
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.
Καὶ πρωῒ ἔννυχα λίαν ἀναστὰς ἐξῆλθεν καὶ ἀπῆλθεν εἰς ἔρημον τόπον κἀκεῖ προσηύχετο.
36 Simon and his companions searched diligently for him,
καὶ ⸀κατεδίωξεναὐτὸν ⸀Σίμωνκαὶ οἱ μετʼ αὐτοῦ,
37 and when they found him, they said to him, “Everyone is looking for yoʋ.”
καὶ ⸂εὗρον αὐτὸν καὶ λέγουσιν αὐτῷ ὅτι Πάντες ⸂ζητοῦσίν σε.
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.”
καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς· Ἄγωμεν ⸀ἀλλαχοῦεἰς τὰς ἐχομένας κωμοπόλεις, ἵνα καὶ ἐκεῖ κηρύξω, εἰς τοῦτο γὰρ ⸀ἐξῆλθον
39 So he was preaching in their synagogues in all of Galilee and casting out demons.
καὶ ⸀ἦλθενκηρύσσων ⸂εἰς τὰς συναγωγὰς αὐτῶν εἰς ὅλην τὴν Γαλιλαίαν καὶ τὰ δαιμόνια ἐκβάλλων.
40 Then a leper came up and knelt before him, begging him, “If yoʋ are willing, yoʋ can make me clean.”
Καὶ ἔρχεται πρὸς αὐτὸν λεπρὸς παρακαλῶν αὐτὸν καὶ ⸀γονυπετῶνλέγων αὐτῷ ὅτι Ἐὰν θέλῃς δύνασαί με καθαρίσαι.
41 Moved with compassion, Jesus stretched out his hand, touched the man, and said to him, “I am willing; be made clean.”
⸀καὶ⸀ὀργισθεὶςἐκτείνας τὴν χεῖρα ⸂αὐτοῦ ἥψατο καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ· Θέλω, καθαρίσθητι·
42 When he said this, the leprosy immediately departed from the man, and he was made clean.
καὶ ⸀εὐθὺςἀπῆλθεν ἀπʼ αὐτοῦ ἡ λέπρα, καὶ ἐκαθαρίσθη.
43 Then Jesus sternly warned him and immediately sent him away,
καὶ ἐμβριμησάμενος αὐτῷ ⸀εὐθὺςἐξέβαλεν αὐτόν,
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.”
καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ· Ὅρα μηδενὶ μηδὲν εἴπῃς, ἀλλὰ ὕπαγε σεαυτὸν δεῖξον τῷ ἱερεῖ καὶ προσένεγκε περὶ τοῦ καθαρισμοῦ σου ἃ προσέταξεν Μωϋσῆς εἰς μαρτύριον αὐτοῖς.
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.
ὁ δὲ ἐξελθὼν ἤρξατο κηρύσσειν πολλὰ καὶ διαφημίζειν τὸν λόγον, ὥστε μηκέτι αὐτὸν δύνασθαι φανερῶς εἰς πόλιν εἰσελθεῖν, ἀλλὰ ἔξω ⸀ἐπʼἐρήμοις τόποις ἦν· καὶ ἤρχοντο πρὸς αὐτὸν ⸀πάντοθεν
