4 Yochanan came immersing in the wilderness and proclaiming the immersion of repentance for forgiveness of sins.
John started baptizing in the wilderness and proclaiming a baptism of repentance for forgiveness of sins.
5 All the country of Judea and all those of Jerusalem went out to him. They were immersed by him in the Jordan river, confessing their sins.
Well, the whole Judean countryside and the Jerusalemites started going out to him, and were all being baptized by him in the Jordan River, confessing their sins.
6 Yochanan was clothed with camel’s hair and a leather belt around his waist. He ate locusts and wild honey.
Now John was clothed with camel's hair and with a leather belt around his waist; and he was eating locusts and wild honey.
7 He preached, saying, “After me comes he who is mightier than I, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and loosen.
And he was proclaiming: “After me my Superior is coming, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to stoop down and loosen.
8 I immersed you in water, but he will immerse you in the Holy Spirit.”
I indeed baptized you with water, but He will baptize you with Holy Spirit.”
9 In those days, Yeshua came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was immersed by Yochanan in the Jordan.
Well it happened in those days that Jesus came from Natsareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan.
10 Immediately coming up from the water, he saw the heavens parting and the Spirit descending on him like a dove.

11 A voice came out of the sky, “You are my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”

16 Passing along by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew, the brother of Simon, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen.
Then, as He was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew his brother, of Simon, casting a circular net onto the water, for they were fishermen.
17 Yeshua said to them, “Come after me, and I will make you into fishers for men.”
So Jesus said to them: “Come, follow me and I will turn you into fishers of men.”
18 Immediately they left their nets, and followed him.
At once they left their nets and followed Him.
19 Going on a little further from there, he saw Jacob the son of Zebedee, and Yochanan his brother, who were also in the boat mending the nets.
And going on from there a little ways He saw James, son of Zebedee, and his brother John; they were in their boat mending their nets.
20 Immediately he called them, and they left their father, Zebedee, in the boat with the hired servants, and went after him.
Right away He called them, and leaving their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men they followed Him.
21 They went into Capernaum, and immediately on the Sabbath day he entered into the synagogue and taught.

22 They were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as having authority, and not as the scribes.
And they kept on being amazed at His teaching, because He was teaching them as one having authority, and not like the scribes.
23 Immediately there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit, and he cried out,
Now there was a man in their synagogue with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,
24 saying, “Ha! What do we have to do with you, Yeshua, you Nazarene? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are: the Holy One of God!”
saying: “Hey, what do you want with us, Jesus Natsarene?! Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God!”
25 Yeshua rebuked him, saying, “Be quiet, and come out of him!”
So Jesus rebuked him saying: “Shut up and get out of him!”
26 The unclean spirit, convulsing him and crying with a loud voice, came out of him.

27 They were all amazed, so that they questioned amongst themselves, saying, “What is this? A new teaching? For with authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him!”
And all were astounded, so that they questioned among themselves, saying: “What is this? What can this new doctrine be? Because with authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him!”
28 The report of him went out immediately everywhere into all the region of Galilee and its surrounding area.
So His fame spread directly into the whole surrounding area of Galilee.
29 Immediately, when they had come out of the synagogue, they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with Jacob and Yochanan.
Immediately upon exiting the synagogue they went into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
30 Now Simon’s wife’s mother lay sick with a fever, and immediately they told him about her.

33 All the city was gathered together at the door.
So much so that the whole town was gathered at the door,

and He healed many who were sick with various diseases and cast out many demons; and He did not allow the demons to speak, because they knew He was Messiah.
35 Early in the morning, while it was still dark, he rose up and went out, and departed into a deserted place, and prayed there.
Now very early, still night, He got up, slipped out, and went off to a solitary place, where He was praying.
36 Simon and those who were with him searched for him.
Simon and those with him hunted for Him,
37 They found him and told him, “Everyone is looking for you.”
and upon finding Him they said to Him, “Everyone is looking for you.”
38 He said to them, “Let’s go elsewhere into the next towns, that I may proclaim there also, because I came out for this reason.”
But He said to them: “Let us go to the neighboring towns, so I can preach there also; that is why I have come.”
39 He went into their synagogues throughout all Galilee, proclaiming and casting out demons.
He was constantly preaching in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and also casting out demons.
40 A leper came to him, begging him, kneeling down to him, and saying to him, “If you want to, you can make me clean.”
A leper came to Him, imploring Him, kneeling before Him and saying to Him, “If you want to, you are able to cleanse me.”
41 Being moved with compassion, he stretched out his hand, and touched him, and said to him, “I want to. Be made clean.”
So being moved with compassion, Jesus stretched out His hand and touched him, and said to him: “I want to; be cleansed!”
42 When he had said this, immediately the leprosy departed from him and he was made clean.
And when He said this, immediately the leprosy left him, and he was cleansed.
43 He strictly warned him and immediately sent him out,
And He sent him away at once, sternly warning him,
44 and said to him, “See that you say nothing to anybody, but go show yourself to the priest and offer for your cleansing the things which Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.”
by saying: “See that you say nothing to anyone; but go, show yourself to the priest and offer for your cleansing the things that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”
45 But he went out, and began to proclaim it much, and to spread about the matter, so that Yeshua could no more openly enter into a city, but was outside in desert places. People came to him from everywhere.
However he went out and began to proclaim it freely, spreading the news, so that He was no longer able to enter a town openly, but remained outside in deserted places; yet they kept coming to Him from all over.
