Mark 1
1 The beginning of the Good News of Jesus Christ the Son of God.
The beginning of the gospel of JESUS CHRIST the Son of GOD.
2 As it is written in Isaiah the Prophet, "See, I am sending My messenger before Thee, Who will prepare Thy 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 prepare a road for the Lord: Make His highways straight.'"
and again, "The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight:" accordingly John came baptizing in the wilderness,
4 So John the Baptizer came, and was in the Desert proclaiming a baptism of the penitent for forgiveness of sins.
and preaching the baptism of repentance in order to the remission of sins;
5 There went out to him people of all classes from Judaea, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem of all ranks, and were baptized by him in the river Jordan, making open confession of their sins.
and all the country of Judea, and those of Jerusalem, went out to him, and were all baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.
6 As for John, his garment was of camel's hair, and he wore a loincloth of leather; and his food was locusts and wild honey.
And John was clothed with camels hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins, and he lived upon locusts and wild honey: and he preached,
7 His announcement was, "There is One coming after me mightier than I--One whose sandal-strap I am unworthy to stoop down and unfasten.
saying, There cometh after me one mightier than I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop and unloose.
8 I have baptized you with water, but He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit."
I indeed have baptized you with water, but He will baptize you with the holy Spirit.
9 At that time Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan;
And in those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John in Jordan:
10 and immediately on His coming up out of the water He saw an opening in the sky, and the Spirit like a dove coming down to Him;
and as soon as He came up from the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon Him.
11 and a voice came from the sky, saying, "Thou art My Son dearly loved: in Thee is My delight."
And there was a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
12 At once the Spirit impelled Him to go out into the Desert,
And immediately the Spirit taketh Him out into the wilderness:
13 where He remained for forty days, tempted by Satan; and He was among the wild beasts, but the angels waited upon Him.
and He was there in the wilderness forty days tempted by Satan, and among the wild beasts: and angels ministred unto Him.
14 Then, after John had been thrown into prison, Jesus came into Galilee proclaiming God's Good News.
Now after John was cast into prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,
15 "The time has fully come," He said, "and the Kingdom of God is close at hand: repent, and believe this Good News.
and saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent, and believe the gospel.
16 One day, passing along the shore of the Lake of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew, Simon's brother, throwing their nets in the Lake; for they were fisherman.
And as He was walking by the sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea,
17 "Come and follow me," said Jesus, "and I will make you fishers for men."
(for they were fishermen, ) and Jesus said unto them, Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men:
18 At once they left their nets and followed Him.
and immediately they left their nets and followed Him.
19 Going on a little further He saw James the son of Zabdi and his brother John: they also were in the boat mending the nets, and He immediately called them.
And going a little farther, He saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship, mending their nets, and immediately called them likewise:
20 They therefore left their father Zabdi in the boat with the hired men, and went and followed Him.
and they left their father Zebedee in the ship with the men he had hired, and went along with Him.
21 So they came to Capernaum, and on the next Sabbath He went to the synagogue and began to teach.
And they went into Capernaum: and going directly into the synagogue on the sabbath, He taught the people: and they were astonished at his doctrine;
22 The people listened with amazement to His teaching--for there was authority about it: it was very different from that of the Scribes--
for He taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes.
23 when all at once, there in their synagogue, a man under the power of a foul spirit screamed out:
And there was in their synagogue a man with an impure spirit,
24 "What have you to do with us, Jesus the Nazarene? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are--God's Holy One."
and he cried out, saying, Let us alone, what have we to do with thee, Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee, who thou art, the holy one of God.
25 But Jesus reprimanded him, saying, "Silence! come out of him."
And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Be silent, and come out of him: and the impure spirit threw him into convulsions,
26 So the foul spirit, after throwing the man into convulsions, came out of him with a loud cry.
and roaring with a loud voice, came out of him.
27 And all were amazed and awe-struck, so they began to ask one another, "What does this mean? Here is a new sort of teaching--and a tone of authority! And even to foul spirits he issues orders and they obey him!"
And they were all amazed, so that they inquired of each other, saying, What is this, what new kind of doctrine is this? for He commands with authority even the impure spirits, and they obey Him.
28 And His fame spread at once everywhere in all that part of Galilee.
And straitway his fame spread into all the country round about Galilee.
29 Then on leaving the synagogue they came at once, with James and John, to the house of Simon and Andrew.
And as soon as they came out of the synagogue, they went into the house of Simon and Andrew, together with James and John.
30 Now Simon's mother-in-law was ill in bed with a fever, and without delay they informed Him about her.
And Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever: and they immediately told Him of her:
31 So He went to her, and taking her hand He raised her to her feet: the fever left her, and she began to wait upon them.
and He came to her, and taking her by the hand raised her up; and immediately the fever left her, and she waited upon them.
32 When it was evening, after sunset people came bringing Him all who were sick and the demoniacs;
And in the evening, when the sun set, they brought to Him all that were ill, and demoniacs:
33 and the whole town was assembled at the door.
and the whole city was gathered together at the door;
34 Then He cured numbers of people who were ill with various diseases, and He drove out many demons; not allowing the demons to speak, because they knew who He was.
and He healed many that were ill of various diseases, and cast out many devils, and suffered not the devils to say that they knew Him.
35 In the morning He rose early, while it was still quite dark, and leaving the house He went away to a solitary place and there prayed.
And in the morning, before it was light, He rose up and went out, and retired into a solitary place, and there prayed.
36 And Simon and the others searched everywhere for Him.
And Simon, and they that were with him, went in quest of Him:
37 When they found Him they said, "Every one is looking for you."
and when they found Him, they said to Him, all the people are seeking for thee.
38 "Let us go elsewhere, to the neighbouring country towns," He replied, "that I may proclaim my Message there also; because for that purpose I came from God."
And He saith unto them, Let us go into the neighbouring towns, that I may preach there also; for this was the end of my coming.
39 And He went through all Galilee, preaching in the synagogues and expelling the demons.
And He went preaching in their synagogues, through all Galilee, and casting out devils.
40 One day there came a leper to Jesus entreating Him, and pleading on his knees. "If you are willing," he said, "you are able to cleanse me."
And there came to Him a leper, beseeching Him, and kneeling down to Him, and saying unto Him, If thou wilt, thou canst cleanse me:
41 Moved with pity Jesus reached out His hand and touched him. "I am willing," He said; "be cleansed."
and Jesus, being moved with compassion, stretched out his hand and touched him, and saith unto Him, I will;
42 The leprosy at once left him, and he was cleansed.
be thou healed: and as soon as He had spoken, immediately the leprosy left him, and he was healed.
43 Jesus at once sent him away, strictly charging him,
And he gave him a strict charge, and immediately dismissed him,
44 and saying, "Be careful not to tell any one, but go and show yourself to the Priest, and for your purification present the offerings that Moses appointed as evidence for them."
and saith unto him, See thou tell no man: but go, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy purification what Moses has commanded, for a testimony to them.
45 But the man, when he went out, began to tell every one and to publish the matter abroad, so that it was no longer possible for Jesus to go openly into any town; but He had to remain outside in unfrequented places, where people came to Him from all parts.
But when he was gone he began to publish it much, and to spread abroad the report: so that Jesus could no more go openly into the city, but kept out in country places: and they came to Him from all parts.
