< Mark 1 >

1 The beginning of the Good News of Jesus Christ the Son of God.
Ἀρχὴ τοῦ εὐαγγελίου Ἰησοῦ ⸀χριστοῦ
2 As it is written in Isaiah the Prophet, "See, I am sending My messenger before Thee, Who will prepare Thy way";
⸀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 aloud: 'In the Desert prepare a road for the Lord: Make His highways straight.'"
φωνὴ βοῶντος ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ· Ἑτοιμάσατε τὴν ὁδὸν κυρίου, εὐθείας ποιεῖτε τὰς τρίβους αὐτοῦ,
4 So John the Baptizer came, and was in the Desert proclaiming a baptism of the penitent for forgiveness of sins.
ἐγένετο Ἰωάννης ⸀ὁβαπτίζων ἐν τῇ ⸀ἐρήμῳκηρύσσων βάπτισμα μετανοίας εἰς ἄφεσιν ἁμαρτιῶν.
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.
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 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.
⸂καὶ ἦν ὁ Ἰωάννης ἐνδεδυμένος τρίχας καμήλου καὶ ζώνην δερματίνην περὶ τὴν ὀσφὺν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔσθων ἀκρίδας καὶ μέλι ἄγριον.
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.
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 At that time Jesus came from Nazareth in 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 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;
καὶ ⸀εὐθὺςἀναβαίνων ⸀ἐκτοῦ ὕδατος εἶδεν σχιζομένους τοὺς οὐρανοὺς καὶ τὸ πνεῦμα ⸀ὡςπεριστερὰν καταβαῖνον ⸀εἰςαὐτόν·
11 and a voice came from the sky, saying, "Thou art My Son dearly loved: in Thee is My delight."
καὶ φωνὴ ἐγένετο ἐκ τῶν οὐρανῶν· Σὺ εἶ ὁ υἱός μου ὁ ἀγαπητός, ἐν ⸀σοὶεὐδόκησα.
12 At once the Spirit impelled Him to go out into the Desert,
Καὶ εὐθὺς τὸ πνεῦμα αὐτὸν ἐκβάλλει εἰς τὴν ἔρημον.
13 where He remained for forty days, tempted by Satan; and He was among the wild beasts, but the angels waited upon Him.
καὶ ⸀ἦνἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ ⸂τεσσεράκοντα ἡμέρας πειραζόμενος ὑπὸ τοῦ Σατανᾶ, καὶ ἦν μετὰ τῶν θηρίων, καὶ οἱ ἄγγελοι διηκόνουν αὐτῷ.
14 Then, after John had been thrown into prison, Jesus came into Galilee proclaiming God's Good News.
⸂Καὶ μετὰ τὸ παραδοθῆναι τὸν Ἰωάννην ἦλθεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἰς τὴν Γαλιλαίαν κηρύσσων τὸ ⸀εὐαγγέλιοντοῦ θεοῦ
15 "The time has fully come," He said, "and the Kingdom of God is close at hand: repent, and believe this Good News.
καὶ λέγων ὅτι Πεπλήρωται ὁ καιρὸς καὶ ἤγγικεν ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ θεοῦ· μετανοεῖτε καὶ πιστεύετε ἐν τῷ εὐαγγελίῳ.
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.
⸂Καὶ παράγων παρὰ τὴν θάλασσαν τῆς Γαλιλαίας εἶδεν Σίμωνα καὶ Ἀνδρέαν τὸν ⸀ἀδελφὸνΣίμωνος ⸀ἀμφιβάλλονταςἐν τῇ θαλάσσῃ, ἦσαν γὰρ ἁλιεῖς·
17 "Come and follow me," said Jesus, "and I will make you fishers for men."
καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς· Δεῦτε ὀπίσω μου, καὶ ποιήσω ὑμᾶς γενέσθαι ἁλιεῖς ἀνθρώπων.
18 At once they left their nets and followed Him.
καὶ ⸀εὐθὺςἀφέντες τὰ ⸀δίκτυαἠκολούθησαν αὐτῷ.
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.
καὶ ⸀προβὰςὀλίγον εἶδεν Ἰάκωβον τὸν τοῦ Ζεβεδαίου καὶ Ἰωάννην τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ, καὶ αὐτοὺς ἐν τῷ πλοίῳ καταρτίζοντας τὰ δίκτυα,
20 They therefore left their father Zabdi in the boat with the hired men, and went and followed Him.
καὶ ⸀εὐθὺςἐκάλεσεν αὐτούς. καὶ ἀφέντες τὸν πατέρα αὐτῶν Ζεβεδαῖον ἐν τῷ πλοίῳ μετὰ τῶν μισθωτῶν ἀπῆλθον ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ.
21 So they came to Capernaum, and on the next Sabbath He went to the synagogue and began to teach.
Καὶ εἰσπορεύονται εἰς Καφαρναούμ. καὶ ⸀εὐθὺςτοῖς σάββασιν ⸂ἐδίδασκεν εἰς τὴν συναγωγήν.
22 The people listened with amazement to His teaching--for there was authority about it: it was very different from that of the Scribes--
καὶ ἐξεπλήσσοντο ἐπὶ τῇ διδαχῇ αὐτοῦ, ἦν γὰρ διδάσκων αὐτοὺς ὡς ἐξουσίαν ἔχων καὶ οὐχ ὡς οἱ γραμματεῖς.
23 when all at once, there in their synagogue, a man under the power of a foul spirit screamed out:
καὶ ⸀εὐθὺςἦν ἐν τῇ συναγωγῇ αὐτῶν ἄνθρωπος ἐν πνεύματι ἀκαθάρτῳ καὶ ἀνέκραξεν
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."
λέγων· ⸀Τίἡμῖν καὶ σοί, Ἰησοῦ Ναζαρηνέ; ἦλθες ἀπολέσαι ἡμᾶς; οἶδά σε τίς εἶ, ὁ ἅγιος τοῦ θεοῦ.
25 But Jesus reprimanded him, saying, "Silence! come out of him."
καὶ ἐπετίμησεν αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς λέγων· Φιμώθητι καὶ ἔξελθε ἐξ αὐτοῦ.
26 So the foul spirit, after throwing the man into convulsions, came out of him with a loud cry.
καὶ σπαράξαν αὐτὸν τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ ἀκάθαρτον καὶ ⸀φωνῆσανφωνῇ μεγάλῃ ἐξῆλθεν ἐξ αὐτοῦ.
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!"
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 His fame spread at once everywhere in all that part of Galilee.
⸂καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ἡ ἀκοὴ αὐτοῦ εὐθὺς ⸀πανταχοῦεἰς ὅλην τὴν περίχωρον τῆς Γαλιλαίας.
29 Then on leaving the synagogue they came at once, with James and John, to the house of Simon and Andrew.
Καὶ ⸀εὐθὺςἐκ τῆς συναγωγῆς ⸂ἐξελθόντες ἦλθον εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν Σίμωνος καὶ Ἀνδρέου μετὰ Ἰακώβου καὶ Ἰωάννου.
30 Now Simon's mother-in-law was ill in bed with a fever, and without delay they informed Him about her.
ἡ δὲ πενθερὰ Σίμωνος κατέκειτο πυρέσσουσα, καὶ ⸀εὐθὺςλέγουσιν αὐτῷ περὶ αὐτῆς.
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.
καὶ προσελθὼν ἤγειρεν αὐτὴν κρατήσας τῆς ⸀χειρός καὶ ἀφῆκεν αὐτὴν ὁ ⸀πυρετός καὶ διηκόνει αὐτοῖς.
32 When it was evening, after sunset people came bringing Him all who were sick and the demoniacs;
Ὀψίας δὲ γενομένης, ὅτε ⸀ἔδυὁ ἥλιος, ἔφερον πρὸς αὐτὸν πάντας τοὺς κακῶς ἔχοντας καὶ τοὺς δαιμονιζομένους·
33 and the whole town was assembled at the door.
καὶ ⸂ἦν ὅλη ἡ πόλις ἐπισυνηγμένη πρὸς τὴν θύραν.
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.
καὶ ἐθεράπευσεν πολλοὺς κακῶς ἔχοντας ποικίλαις νόσοις, καὶ δαιμόνια πολλὰ ἐξέβαλεν, καὶ οὐκ ἤφιεν λαλεῖν τὰ δαιμόνια, ὅτι ᾔδεισαν ⸀αὐτόν
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.
Καὶ πρωῒ ἔννυχα λίαν ἀναστὰς ἐξῆλθεν καὶ ἀπῆλθεν εἰς ἔρημον τόπον κἀκεῖ προσηύχετο.
36 And Simon and the others searched everywhere for Him.
καὶ ⸀κατεδίωξεναὐτὸν ⸀Σίμωνκαὶ οἱ μετʼ αὐτοῦ,
37 When they found Him they said, "Every one is looking for you."
καὶ ⸂εὗρον αὐτὸν καὶ λέγουσιν αὐτῷ ὅτι Πάντες ⸂ζητοῦσίν σε.
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."
καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς· Ἄγωμεν ⸀ἀλλαχοῦεἰς τὰς ἐχομένας κωμοπόλεις, ἵνα καὶ ἐκεῖ κηρύξω, εἰς τοῦτο γὰρ ⸀ἐξῆλθον
39 And He went through all Galilee, preaching in the synagogues and expelling the demons.
καὶ ⸀ἦλθενκηρύσσων ⸂εἰς τὰς συναγωγὰς αὐτῶν εἰς ὅλην τὴν Γαλιλαίαν καὶ τὰ δαιμόνια ἐκβάλλων.
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."
Καὶ ἔρχεται πρὸς αὐτὸν λεπρὸς παρακαλῶν αὐτὸν καὶ ⸀γονυπετῶνλέγων αὐτῷ ὅτι Ἐὰν θέλῃς δύνασαί με καθαρίσαι.
41 Moved with pity Jesus reached out His hand and touched him. "I am willing," He said; "be cleansed."
⸀καὶ⸀ὀργισθεὶςἐκτείνας τὴν χεῖρα ⸂αὐτοῦ ἥψατο καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ· Θέλω, καθαρίσθητι·
42 The leprosy at once left him, and he was cleansed.
καὶ ⸀εὐθὺςἀπῆλθεν ἀπʼ αὐτοῦ ἡ λέπρα, καὶ ἐκαθαρίσθη.
43 Jesus at once sent him away, strictly charging him,
καὶ ἐμβριμησάμενος αὐτῷ ⸀εὐθὺςἐξέβαλεν αὐτόν,
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."
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, 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.
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
