Κατα Μαρκον 1
1 αρχη του ευαγγελιου ιησου χριστου υιου του θεου
The beginning of the good news about Jesus Christ.
2 ως γεγραπται εν τοις προφηταις ιδου εγω αποστελλω τον αγγελον μου προ προσωπου σου ος κατασκευασει την οδον σου εμπροσθεν σου
It is said in the prophet Isaiah – “I am sending my messenger ahead of you; he will prepare your way.
3 φωνη βοωντος εν τη ερημω ετοιμασατε την οδον κυριου ευθειας ποιειτε τας τριβους αυτου
The voice of one crying aloud in the wilderness: ‘Prepare the road for the Lord, make a straight path for him.’”
4 εγενετο ιωαννης βαπτιζων εν τη ερημω και κηρυσσων βαπτισμα μετανοιας εις αφεσιν αμαρτιων
John the Baptizer appeared in the wilderness, proclaiming a baptism on repentance, for the forgiveness of sins.
5 και εξεπορευετο προς αυτον πασα η ιουδαια χωρα και οι ιεροσολυμιται και εβαπτιζοντο παντες εν τω ιορδανη ποταμω υπ αυτου εξομολογουμενοι τας αμαρτιας αυτων
The whole of Judea, as well as all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, went out to him; and they were baptized by him in the Jordan River, confessing their sins.
6 ην δε ιωαννης ενδεδυμενος τριχας καμηλου και ζωνην δερματινην περι την οσφυν αυτου και εσθιων ακριδας και μελι αγριον
John wore clothes made of camels’ hair, with a leather strap round his waist, and lived on locusts and wild honey;
7 και εκηρυσσεν λεγων ερχεται ο ισχυροτερος μου οπισω μου ου ουκ ειμι ικανος κυψας λυσαι τον ιμαντα των υποδηματων αυτου
and he proclaimed – ‘After me is coming someone more powerful than I am, and I am not fit even to stoop down and unfasten his sandals.
8 εγω μεν εβαπτισα υμας εν υδατι αυτος δε βαπτισει υμας εν πνευματι αγιω
I have baptized you with water, but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.’
9 και εγενετο εν εκειναις ταις ημεραις ηλθεν ιησους απο ναζαρεθ της γαλιλαιας και εβαπτισθη υπο ιωαννου εις τον ιορδανην
Now about that time Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee, and was baptized by John in the Jordan.
10 και ευθεως αναβαινων απο του υδατος ειδεν σχιζομενους τους ουρανους και το πνευμα ωσει περιστεραν καταβαινον επ αυτον
Just as he was coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens split open and the Spirit coming down to him like a dove,
11 και φωνη εγενετο εκ των ουρανων συ ει ο υιος μου ο αγαπητος εν ω ευδοκησα
and from the heavens came a voice – ‘You are my dearly loved son; you bring me great joy.’
12 και ευθυς το πνευμα αυτον εκβαλλει εις την ερημον
Immediately afterwards the Spirit drove Jesus out into the wilderness;
13 και ην εκει εν τη ερημω ημερας τεσσαρακοντα πειραζομενος υπο του σατανα και ην μετα των θηριων και οι αγγελοι διηκονουν αυτω
and he was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted by Satan, and among the wild beasts, while the angels helped him.
14 μετα δε το παραδοθηναι τον ιωαννην ηλθεν ο ιησους εις την γαλιλαιαν κηρυσσων το ευαγγελιον της βασιλειας του θεου
After John had been arrested, Jesus went to Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God –
15 και λεγων οτι πεπληρωται ο καιρος και ηγγικεν η βασιλεια του θεου μετανοειτε και πιστευετε εν τω ευαγγελιω
‘The time has come, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent, and believe the good news.’
16 περιπατων δε παρα την θαλασσαν της γαλιλαιας ειδεν σιμωνα και ανδρεαν τον αδελφον αυτου βαλλοντας αμφιβληστρον εν τη θαλασση ησαν γαρ αλιεις
As Jesus was going along the shore of the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting a net in the sea, for they were fishermen.
17 και ειπεν αυτοις ο ιησους δευτε οπισω μου και ποιησω υμας γενεσθαι αλιεις ανθρωπων
‘Come and follow me,’ Jesus said, ‘and I will teach you to fish for people.’
18 και ευθεως αφεντες τα δικτυα αυτων ηκολουθησαν αυτω
They left their nets at once, and followed him.
19 και προβας εκειθεν ολιγον ειδεν ιακωβον τον του ζεβεδαιου και ιωαννην τον αδελφον αυτου και αυτους εν τω πλοιω καταρτιζοντας τα δικτυα
Going on a little further, he saw James, Zebedee’s son, and his brother John, who were in their boat mending the nets.
20 και ευθεως εκαλεσεν αυτους και αφεντες τον πατερα αυτων ζεβεδαιον εν τω πλοιω μετα των μισθωτων απηλθον οπισω αυτου
Jesus called them at once, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the crew, and went after him.
21 και εισπορευονται εις καπερναουμ και ευθεως τοις σαββασιν εισελθων εις την συναγωγην εδιδασκεν
They walked to Capernaum. On the next Sabbath Jesus went into the synagogue and began to teach.
22 και εξεπλησσοντο επι τη διδαχη αυτου ην γαρ διδασκων αυτους ως εξουσιαν εχων και ουχ ως οι γραμματεις
The people were amazed at his teaching, for he taught them like one who had authority, and not like the teachers of the Law.
23 και ην εν τη συναγωγη αυτων ανθρωπος εν πνευματι ακαθαρτω και ανεκραξεν
Now there was in their synagogue at the time a man under the power of a foul spirit, who called out,
24 λεγων εα τι ημιν και σοι ιησου ναζαρηνε ηλθες απολεσαι ημας οιδα σε τις ει ο αγιος του θεου
‘What do you want with us, Jesus the Nazarene? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are – the Holy One of God!’
25 και επετιμησεν αυτω ο ιησους λεγων φιμωθητι και εξελθε εξ αυτου
But Jesus rebuked the spirit, ‘Be silent! Come out from him.’
26 και σπαραξαν αυτον το πνευμα το ακαθαρτον και κραξαν φωνη μεγαλη εξηλθεν εξ αυτου
The foul spirit threw the man into a fit, and with a loud cry came out from him.
27 και εθαμβηθησαν παντες ωστε συζητειν προς αυτους λεγοντας τι εστιν τουτο τις η διδαχη η καινη αυτη οτι κατ εξουσιαν και τοις πνευμασιν τοις ακαθαρτοις επιτασσει και υπακουουσιν αυτω
They were all so amazed that they kept asking each other, ‘What is this? What is this, a new kind of teaching? He gives his commands with authority even to the foul spirits, and they obey him!’
28 εξηλθεν δε η ακοη αυτου ευθυς εις ολην την περιχωρον της γαλιλαιας
His fame spread at once in all directions, through the whole region of Galilee.
29 και ευθεως εκ της συναγωγης εξελθοντες ηλθον εις την οικιαν σιμωνος και ανδρεου μετα ιακωβου και ιωαννου
As soon as they had left the synagogue, they went to the house of Simon and Andrew, along with James and John.
30 η δε πενθερα σιμωνος κατεκειτο πυρεσσουσα και ευθεως λεγουσιν αυτω περι αυτης
Now Simon’s mother-in-law was lying ill with a fever, and they at once told Jesus about her.
31 και προσελθων ηγειρεν αυτην κρατησας της χειρος αυτης και αφηκεν αυτην ο πυρετος ευθεως και διηκονει αυτοις
Jesus went up to her and, grasping her hand, raised her up; the fever left her, and she began to take care of them.
32 οψιας δε γενομενης οτε εδυ ο ηλιος εφερον προς αυτον παντας τους κακως εχοντας και τους δαιμονιζομενους
In the evening, after sunset, the people brought to Jesus all who were ill or possessed by demons;
33 και η πολις ολη επισυνηγμενη ην προς την θυραν
and the whole city was gathered round the door.
34 και εθεραπευσεν πολλους κακως εχοντας ποικιλαις νοσοις και δαιμονια πολλα εξεβαλεν και ουκ ηφιεν λαλειν τα δαιμονια οτι ηδεισαν αυτον
Jesus cured many who were ill with various diseases, and drove out many demons, and would not permit them to speak, because they knew him to be the Christ.
35 και πρωι εννυχον λιαν αναστας εξηλθεν και απηλθεν εις ερημον τοπον κακει προσηυχετο
In the morning, long before daylight, Jesus got up and went out to a lonely spot, where he began to pray.
36 και κατεδιωξαν αυτον ο σιμων και οι μετ αυτου
But Simon and his companions went out searching for him;
37 και ευροντες αυτον λεγουσιν αυτω οτι παντες ζητουσιν σε
and, when they found him, they exclaimed, ‘Everyone is looking for you!’
38 και λεγει αυτοις αγωμεν εις τας εχομενας κωμοπολεις ινα κακει κηρυξω εις τουτο γαρ εξεληλυθα
But Jesus said to them, ‘Let us go somewhere else, into the country towns nearby so that I can make my proclamation in them also; for that was why I came.’
39 και ην κηρυσσων εν ταις συναγωγαις αυτων εις ολην την γαλιλαιαν και τα δαιμονια εκβαλλων
And he went about making his proclamation in their synagogues all through Galilee, and driving out the demons.
40 και ερχεται προς αυτον λεπρος παρακαλων αυτον και γονυπετων αυτον και λεγων αυτω οτι εαν θελης δυνασαι με καθαρισαι
One day a leper came to Jesus and, falling on his knees, begged him for help. ‘If only you are willing,’ he said, ‘you are able to make me clean.’
41 ο δε ιησους σπλαγχνισθεις εκτεινας την χειρα ηψατο αυτου και λεγει αυτω θελω καθαρισθητι
Moved with compassion, Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him, saying as he did so, ‘I am willing; become clean.’
42 και ειποντος αυτου ευθεως απηλθεν απ αυτου η λεπρα και εκαθαρισθη
Instantly the leprosy left the man, and he became clean;
43 και εμβριμησαμενος αυτω ευθεως εξεβαλεν αυτον
and then Jesus, after sternly warning him, immediately sent him away,
44 και λεγει αυτω ορα μηδενι μηδεν ειπης αλλ υπαγε σεαυτον δειξον τω ιερει και προσενεγκε περι του καθαρισμου σου α προσεταξεν μωσης εις μαρτυριον αυτοις
and said to him, ‘Be careful not to say anything to anyone; but go and show yourself to the priest, and make the offerings for your cleansing directed by Moses, as evidence of your cure.’
45 ο δε εξελθων ηρξατο κηρυσσειν πολλα και διαφημιζειν τον λογον ωστε μηκετι αυτον δυνασθαι φανερως εις πολιν εισελθειν αλλ εξω εν ερημοις τοποις ην και ηρχοντο προς αυτον πανταχοθεν
The man, however, went away, and began to speak about it publicly, and to spread the story so widely, that Jesus could no longer go openly into a town, but stayed outside in lonely places; and people came to him from every direction.
