Predicación de Juan el Bautista
(Mt. 3.1-12; Lc. 3.1-9,15-17; Jn. 1.19-28)
1 Principio del evangelio de Jesucristo, Hijo de Dios. 2 Como está escrito en Isaías el profeta:
He aquí yo envío mi mensajero delante de tu faz,
El cual preparará tu camino delante de ti.(A)
3 Voz del que clama en el desierto:
Preparad el camino del Señor;
Enderezad sus sendas.(B)
4 Bautizaba Juan en el desierto, y predicaba el bautismo de arrepentimiento para perdón de pecados. 5 Y salían a él toda la provincia de Judea, y todos los de Jerusalén; y eran bautizados por él en el río Jordán, confesando sus pecados. 6 Y Juan estaba vestido de pelo de camello, y tenía un cinto de cuero alrededor de sus lomos;(C) y comía langostas y miel silvestre. 7 Y predicaba, diciendo: Viene tras mí el que es más poderoso que yo, a quien no soy digno de desatar encorvado la correa de su calzado. 8 Yo a la verdad os he bautizado con agua; pero él os bautizará con Espíritu Santo.
El bautismo de Jesús
(Mt. 3.13-17; Lc. 3.21-22)
9 Aconteció en aquellos días, que Jesús vino de Nazaret de Galilea, y fue bautizado por Juan en el Jordán. 10 Y luego, cuando subía del agua, vio abrirse los cielos, y al Espíritu como paloma que descendía sobre él. 11 Y vino una voz de los cielos que decía: Tú eres mi Hijo amado; en ti tengo complacencia.(D)
Tentación de Jesús
(Mt. 4.1-11; Lc. 4.1-13)
12 Y luego el Espíritu le impulsó al desierto. 13 Y estuvo allí en el desierto cuarenta días, y era tentado por Satanás, y estaba con las fieras; y los ángeles le servían.
Jesús principia su ministerio
(Mt. 4.12-17; Lc. 4.14-15)
14 Después que Juan fue encarcelado, Jesús vino a Galilea predicando el evangelio del reino de Dios, 15 diciendo: El tiempo se ha cumplido, y el reino de Dios(E) se ha acercado; arrepentíos,(F) y creed en el evangelio.
Jesús llama a cuatro pescadores
(Mt. 4.18-22; Lc. 5.1-11)
16 Andando junto al mar de Galilea, vio a Simón y a Andrés su hermano, que echaban la red en el mar; porque eran pescadores. 17 Y les dijo Jesús: Venid en pos de mí, y haré que seáis pescadores de hombres. 18 Y dejando luego sus redes, le siguieron. 19 Pasando de allí un poco más adelante, vio a Jacobo hijo de Zebedeo, y a Juan su hermano, también ellos en la barca, que remendaban las redes. 20 Y luego los llamó; y dejando a su padre Zebedeo en la barca con los jornaleros, le siguieron.
Un hombre que tenía un espíritu inmundo
(Lc. 4.31-37)
21 Y entraron en Capernaum; y los días de reposo,[a] entrando en la sinagoga, enseñaba. 22 Y se admiraban de su doctrina; porque les enseñaba como quien tiene autoridad, y no como los escribas.(G) 23 Pero había en la sinagoga de ellos un hombre con espíritu inmundo, que dio voces, 24 diciendo: ¡Ah! ¿qué tienes con nosotros, Jesús nazareno? ¿Has venido para destruirnos? Sé quién eres, el Santo de Dios. 25 Pero Jesús le reprendió, diciendo: ¡Cállate, y sal de él! 26 Y el espíritu inmundo, sacudiéndole con violencia, y clamando a gran voz, salió de él. 27 Y todos se asombraron, de tal manera que discutían entre sí, diciendo: ¿Qué es esto? ¿Qué nueva doctrina es esta, que con autoridad manda aun a los espíritus inmundos, y le obedecen? 28 Y muy pronto se difundió su fama por toda la provincia alrededor de Galilea.
Jesús sana a la suegra de Pedro
(Mt. 8.14-15; Lc. 4.38-39)
29 Al salir de la sinagoga, vinieron a casa de Simón y Andrés, con Jacobo y Juan. 30 Y la suegra de Simón estaba acostada con fiebre; y en seguida le hablaron de ella. 31 Entonces él se acercó, y la tomó de la mano y la levantó; e inmediatamente le dejó la fiebre, y ella les servía.
Muchos sanados al ponerse el sol
(Mt. 8.16-17; Lc. 4.40-41)
32 Cuando llegó la noche, luego que el sol se puso, le trajeron todos los que tenían enfermedades, y a los endemoniados; 33 y toda la ciudad se agolpó a la puerta. 34 Y sanó a muchos que estaban enfermos de diversas enfermedades, y echó fuera muchos demonios; y no dejaba hablar a los demonios, porque le conocían.
Jesús recorre Galilea predicando
(Lc. 4.42-44)
35 Levantándose muy de mañana, siendo aún muy oscuro, salió y se fue a un lugar desierto, y allí oraba. 36 Y le buscó Simón, y los que con él estaban; 37 y hallándole, le dijeron: Todos te buscan. 38 Él les dijo: Vamos a los lugares vecinos, para que predique también allí; porque para esto he venido. 39 Y predicaba en las sinagogas de ellos en toda Galilea, y echaba fuera los demonios.(H)
Jesús sana a un leproso
(Mt. 8.1-4; Lc. 5.12-16)
40 Vino a él un leproso, rogándole; e hincada la rodilla, le dijo: Si quieres, puedes limpiarme. 41 Y Jesús, teniendo misericordia de él, extendió la mano y le tocó, y le dijo: Quiero, sé limpio. 42 Y así que él hubo hablado, al instante la lepra se fue de aquel, y quedó limpio. 43 Entonces le encargó rigurosamente, y le despidió luego, 44 y le dijo: Mira, no digas a nadie nada, sino ve, muéstrate al sacerdote, y ofrece por tu purificación lo que Moisés mandó,(I) para testimonio a ellos. 45 Pero ido él, comenzó a publicarlo mucho y a divulgar el hecho, de manera que ya Jesús no podía entrar abiertamente en la ciudad, sino que se quedaba fuera en los lugares desiertos; y venían a él de todas partes.

Predicación de Juan el Bautista
1 Principio del evangelio de Jesucristo, Hijo de Dios[a](A).
2 (B)Como está escrito en el profeta Isaías:
He aquí, yo envío mi mensajero delante de tu faz,
el cual preparará tu camino(C).
3 Voz del que clama en el desierto:
«Preparad el camino del Señor,
haced derechas sus sendas(D)».
4 Juan el Bautista apareció en el desierto predicando[b] el bautismo de arrepentimiento(E) para el perdón de pecados(F). 5 Y acudía a él toda la región de Judea, y toda la gente de Jerusalén, y confesando sus pecados, eran bautizados por él en el río Jordán. 6 Juan estaba vestido de pelo de camello, tenía[c] un cinto de cuero(G) a la cintura, y comía langostas[d] y miel silvestre. 7 Y predicaba[e], diciendo: Tras mí viene uno que es más poderoso que yo, a quien no soy digno de desatar, inclinándome, la correa de sus sandalias. 8 Yo os bauticé con[f] agua, pero Él os bautizará con[g] el Espíritu Santo.
Bautismo y tentación de Jesús
9 (H)Y sucedió en aquellos días que Jesús vino de Nazaret(I) de Galilea, y fue bautizado por Juan en el Jordán. 10 E inmediatamente, al salir del agua, vio que los cielos se abrían, y que el Espíritu como paloma descendía sobre Él; 11 y vino una voz de los cielos, que decía: Tú eres mi Hijo amado, en ti me he complacido(J).
12 (K)Enseguida el Espíritu le impulsó* a ir al desierto. 13 Y estuvo en el desierto cuarenta días, siendo tentado por Satanás(L); y estaba entre las fieras, y los ángeles le servían.
Jesús principia su ministerio
14 Después que Juan había sido encarcelado[h], Jesús vino a Galilea(M) proclamando el evangelio(N) de Dios, 15 y diciendo: El tiempo se ha cumplido(O) y el reino de Dios se ha acercado; arrepentíos y creed[i](P) en el evangelio.
Llamamiento de los primeros discípulos
16 (Q)Mientras caminaba junto al mar de Galilea, vio a Simón y a Andrés, hermano de Simón, echando una red en el mar, porque eran pescadores. 17 Y Jesús les dijo: Seguidme, y yo haré que seáis pescadores de hombres. 18 Y dejando al instante las redes, le siguieron. 19 Yendo un poco más adelante vio a Jacobo[j], el hijo de Zebedeo, y a su hermano Juan, los cuales estaban también en la barca, remendando las redes. 20 Y al instante los llamó; y ellos, dejando a su padre Zebedeo en la barca con los jornaleros, se fueron tras Él.
Jesús enseña en Capernaúm
21 (R)Entraron* en Capernaúm; y enseguida, en el día de reposo entrando Jesús en la sinagoga comenzó a enseñar(S). 22 Y se admiraban de su enseñanza(T); porque les enseñaba como quien tiene autoridad, y no como los escribas. 23 Y he aquí[k] estaba en la sinagoga de ellos un hombre con un espíritu inmundo, el cual comenzó a gritar, 24 diciendo: ¿Qué tenemos que ver contigo[l](U), Jesús de Nazaret[m](V)? ¿Has venido a destruirnos? Yo sé quién eres: el Santo de Dios(W). 25 Jesús lo reprendió, diciendo: ¡Cállate, y sal de él! 26 Entonces el espíritu inmundo, causándole convulsiones, gritó a gran voz y salió de él. 27 Y todos se asombraron(X) de tal manera que discutían entre sí, diciendo: ¿Qué es esto? ¡Una enseñanza nueva con autoridad! Él manda aun a los espíritus inmundos y le obedecen. 28 Y enseguida su fama se extendió por todas partes, por toda la región alrededor de Galilea.
Jesús sana a la suegra de Simón y a muchos otros
29 (Y)Inmediatamente después de haber salido de la sinagoga, fueron[n] a casa de Simón(Z) y Andrés, con Jacobo[o] y Juan. 30 Y la suegra de Simón yacía enferma con fiebre; y enseguida le hablaron* de ella. 31 Jesús se le acercó, y tomándola de la mano la levantó, y la fiebre la dejó; y ella les servía.
32 (AA)A la caída de la tarde, después de la puesta del sol(AB), le trajeron todos los que estaban enfermos y los endemoniados(AC). 33 Y toda la ciudad(AD) se había amontonado a la puerta. 34 Y sanó a muchos que estaban enfermos de diversas enfermedades(AE), y expulsó muchos demonios; y no dejaba hablar a los demonios, porque ellos sabían quién era Él[p].
Jesús recorre Galilea
35 (AF)Levantándose muy de mañana, cuando todavía estaba oscuro, salió, y se fue a un lugar solitario, y allí oraba(AG). 36 Y Simón y sus compañeros salieron a buscarle; 37 le encontraron y le dijeron*: Todos te buscan. 38 Y Él les dijo*: Vamos a otro lugar, a los pueblos vecinos, para que predique[q] también allí, porque para eso he venido. 39 Y fue por toda Galilea, predicando[r] en sus sinagogas(AH) y expulsando demonios.
Curación de un leproso
40 (AI)Y vino* a Él un leproso rogándole, y arrodillándose le dijo[s]: Si quieres, puedes limpiarme(AJ). 41 Movido a compasión, extendiendo Jesús la mano, lo tocó, y le dijo*: Quiero; sé limpio. 42 Y al instante la lepra lo dejó y quedó limpio. 43 Entonces Jesús lo amonestó severamente y enseguida lo despidió, 44 y le dijo*: Mira, no digas nada a nadie, sino ve, muéstrate al sacerdote y ofrece por tu limpieza lo que Moisés ordenó, para testimonio a ellos(AK). 45 Pero él, en cuanto salió, comenzó a proclamarlo abiertamente[t] y a divulgar el hecho(AL), a tal punto que Jesús[u] ya no podía entrar públicamente en ninguna ciudad, sino que se quedaba fuera en lugares despoblados; y venían a Él de todas partes(AM).

Mark 1
Authorized (King James) Version
1 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God; 2 as it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. 3 The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
4 John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins. 5 And there went out unto him all the land of Judæa, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized of him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins. 6 And John was clothed with camel’s hair, and with a girdle of a skin about his loins; and he did eat locusts and wild honey; 7 and preached, saying, There cometh one mightier than I after me, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose. 8 I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost.
9 And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan. 10 And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him: 11 and there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
12 And immediately the Spirit driveth him into the wilderness. 13 And he was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted of Satan; and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto him.
14 Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, 15 and saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. 16 Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers. 17 And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men. 18 And straightway they forsook their nets, and followed him. 19 And when he had gone a little further thence, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the ship mending their nets. 20 And straightway he called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants, and went after him.
21 And they went into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath day he entered into the synagogue, and taught. 22 And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes. 23 And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out, 24 saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God. 25 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. 26 And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him. 27 And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What thing is this? what new doctrine is this? for with authority commandeth he even the unclean spirits, and they do obey him. 28 And immediately his fame spread abroad throughout all the region round about Galilee.
29 And forthwith, when they were come out of the synagogue, they entered into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. 30 But Simon’s wife’s mother lay sick of a fever, and anon they tell him of her. 31 And he came and took her by the hand, and lifted her up; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them.
32 And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all that were diseased, and them that were possessed with devils. 33 And all the city was gathered together at the door. 34 And he healed many that were sick of divers diseases, and cast out many devils; and suffered not the devils to speak, because they knew him.
35 And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed. 36 And Simon and they that were with him followed after him. 37 And when they had found him, they said unto him, All men seek for thee. 38 And he said unto them, Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also: for therefore came I forth. 39 And he preached in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and cast out devils.
40 And there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. 41 And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean. 42 And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed. 43 And he straitly charged him, and forthwith sent him away; 44 and saith unto him, See thou say nothing to any man: but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing those things which Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them. 45 But he went out, and began to publish it much, and to blaze abroad the matter, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly enter into the city, but was without in desert places: and they came to him from every quarter.

The Preaching of John the Baptist
1 The beginning of the [facts regarding the] good news of [a]Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
2 As it is written and forever remains in the [writings of the] prophet Isaiah:
“Behold, I send My messenger ahead of You,
Who will prepare Your way—(A)
3
A voice of one shouting in the wilderness,
‘Prepare the way of the Lord,
[b]Make His paths straight!’”(B)
4 [c]John the Baptist appeared in the wilderness preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins [that is, requiring a change of one’s old way of thinking, turning away from sin and seeking God and His righteousness]. 5 And all the country of Judea and all the people of Jerusalem were continually going out to him; and they were being baptized by him in the Jordan River, as they confessed their sins. 6 John wore clothing made of camel’s hair and had a [wide] leather [d]band around his waist, and he ate locusts and wild honey.(C) 7 And he was preaching, saying, “After me comes He who is mightier [more powerful, more noble] than I, and I am not worthy to stoop down and untie the straps of His sandals [even as His slave]. 8 As for me, I baptized you [who came to me] with water [only]; but He will baptize you [who truly repent] [e]with the Holy Spirit.”
The Baptism of Jesus
9 In those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan.(D) 10 [f]Immediately coming up out of the water, he (John) saw the heavens torn open, and the [g]Spirit like a dove descending on Him (Jesus); 11 and a [h]voice came out of heaven saying: “You are My beloved Son, in You I am well-pleased and delighted!”(E)
12 Immediately the [Holy] Spirit forced Him out into the wilderness. 13 He was in the wilderness forty days being tempted [to do evil] by Satan; and He was with the wild animals, and the angels ministered continually to Him.
Jesus Preaches in Galilee
14 Now after John [the Baptist] was arrested and [i]taken into custody, Jesus went to Galilee, preaching the good news of [the kingdom of] God, 15 and saying, “The [appointed period of] time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent [change your inner self—your old way of thinking, regret past sins, live your life in a way that proves repentance; seek God’s purpose for your life] and believe [with a deep, abiding trust] in the good news [regarding salvation].”
16 As Jesus was walking by the shore of the [j]Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon [Peter] and Simon’s brother, [k]Andrew, casting a net in the sea; for they were fishermen. 17 And Jesus said to them, “[l]Follow Me [as My disciples, accepting Me as your Master and Teacher and walking the same path of life that I walk], and I will make you fishers of men.” 18 Immediately they left their nets and followed Him [becoming His disciples, believing and trusting in Him and following His example]. 19 Going on a little farther, He saw James the son of Zebedee, and his brother John, who were also in the boat mending and cleaning the nets. 20 Immediately Jesus called to them; and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired workers, and went away to follow Him [becoming His disciples, believing and trusting in Him and following His example].
21 They went into Capernaum, and immediately on the Sabbath Jesus went into the synagogue and began to teach.(F) 22 They were completely amazed at His teaching; because He was teaching them as one having [God-given] authority, and not as the scribes. 23 Just then there was a man in their synagogue with an unclean spirit; and he cried out [terribly from the depths of his throat], 24 saying, “[m]What business do You have with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are—the Holy One of God!” 25 Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be quiet (muzzled, silenced), and come out of him!” 26 The unclean spirit threw the man into convulsions, and screeching with a loud voice, came out of him. 27 They were all so amazed that they debated and questioned each other, saying, “What is this? A new teaching with authority! He commands even the unclean spirits (demons), and they obey Him.” 28 Immediately the news about Him spread everywhere throughout the district surrounding Galilee.
Healing the Crowds
29 And immediately they left the synagogue and went into the house of Simon [Peter] and Andrew, accompanied by James and John.(G) 30 Now Simon’s mother-in-law was lying sick with a fever; and immediately they told Him about her. 31 Jesus went to her, and taking her by the hand, raised her up; and the fever left her, and she began to serve them [as her guests].
32 Now when evening came, after the sun had set [and the Sabbath Day had ended, in a steady stream] they were bringing to Him all who were sick and those who were under the power of demons, 33 until the whole city had gathered together at the door. 34 And Jesus healed many who were suffering with various diseases; and He drove out many demons, but would not allow the demons to speak, because they knew Him [recognizing Him as the Son of God].
35 Early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left [the house], and went out to a secluded place, and was praying there. 36 Simon [Peter] and his companions searched [everywhere, looking anxiously] for Him, 37 and they found Him and said, “Everybody is looking for You!” 38 He replied, “Let us go on to the neighboring towns, so I may preach there also; that is why I came [from the Father].” 39 So He went throughout Galilee, preaching [the gospel] in their synagogues and casting out demons.
40 And a leper came to Him, begging Him and falling on his knees before Him, saying, “If You are willing, You are able to make me [n]clean.”(H) 41 Moved with compassion [for his suffering], Jesus reached out with His hand and touched him, and said to him, “I am willing; be cleansed.” 42 The leprosy left him immediately and he was cleansed [completely healed and restored to health]. 43 And Jesus [deeply moved] admonished him sternly and sent him away immediately, 44 saying to him, “See that you tell no one anything [about this]; but go, show yourself to the priest and offer for your purification what Moses commanded, as proof to them [that you are really healed].”(I) 45 But he went out and began to proclaim it freely and to spread the news [of his healing], to such an extent that Jesus could no longer openly enter a city [where He was known], but stayed out in the unpopulated places; yet people were still coming to Him from everywhere.
Footnotes
- Mark 1:1 Mark’s gospel is believed to be directed primarily to Gentile believers in Rome. Since Gentiles would not necessarily be familiar with the Jewish title Messiah, he emphasizes instead the fact that Jesus is the Son of God.
- Mark 1:3 A ruler or nobleman traveling in the wilderness would have a crew of workmen preparing and clearing the road ahead of him. In spiritual terms, John the Baptist was clearing the way for the arrival of the Messiah by preparing the hearts of his followers.
- Mark 1:4 Considered the last of the Old Testament prophets, John the Baptist was the son of Zecharias (Zechariah) the priest and his wife, Elizabeth. Elizabeth and Mary, the mother of Jesus, were related (Luke 1:36), and Mary may have been with Elizabeth at the time John was born (Luke 1:56). John the Baptist is not to be confused with John the Apostle who, along with his brother James, was among the twelve disciples of Jesus.

- Mark 1:17 The concept of “follow” can represent three separate possibilities: in the early stages of His ministry, (1) walking with Him physically (literally), that is merely being in His presence regardless of personal belief or commitment; (2) accepting and identifying with the salvation He offered; and later on (3) being identified with Him by being subject to the scorn and rejection of unbelievers because of personal belief and commitment to Him.
- Mark 1:24 Lit What to me and to you, originally a Hebrew idiom which does not translate well into English. The idiom is meant to inform the other person that the speaker is not aware of any obligation between them and does not wish to deal with the other person (cf 2 Sam 16:10).
- Mark 1:40 Lepers were ceremonially unclean according to OT law (Lev 13:45, etc.) and were not to come into physical contact with other people. The leper’s request was the same as asking for healing.

1 A beginning of the good news of Jesus Christ, Son of God.
2 As it hath been written in the prophets, `Lo, I send My messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee,' --
3 `A voice of one calling in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, straight make ye his paths,' --
4 John came baptizing in the wilderness, and proclaiming a baptism of reformation -- to remission of sins,
5 and there were going forth to him all the region of Judea, and they of Jerusalem, and they were all baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.
6 And John was clothed with camel's hair, and a girdle of skin around his loins, and eating locusts and honey of the field,
7 and he proclaimed, saying, `He doth come -- who is mightier than I -- after me, of whom I am not worthy -- having stooped down -- to loose the latchet of his sandals;
8 I indeed did baptize you with water, but he shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit.'
9 And it came to pass in those days, Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John at the Jordan;
10 and immediately coming up from the water, he saw the heavens dividing, and the Spirit as a dove coming down upon him;
11 and a voice came out of the heavens, `Thou art My Son -- the Beloved, in whom I did delight.'
12 And immediately doth the Spirit put him forth to the wilderness,
13 and he was there in the wilderness forty days, being tempted by the Adversary, and he was with the beasts, and the messengers were ministering to him.
14 And after the delivering up of John, Jesus came to Galilee, proclaiming the good news of the reign of God,
15 and saying -- `Fulfilled hath been the time, and the reign of God hath come nigh, reform ye, and believe in the good news.'
16 And, walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon, and Andrew his brother, casting a drag into the sea, for they were fishers,
17 and Jesus said to them, `Come ye after me, and I shall make you to become fishers of men;'
18 and immediately, having left their nets, they followed him.
19 And having gone on thence a little, he saw James of Zebedee, and John his brother, and they were in the boat refitting the nets,
20 and immediately he called them, and, having left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, they went away after him.
21 And they go on to Capernaum, and immediately, on the sabbaths, having gone into the synagogue, he was teaching,
22 and they were astonished at his teaching, for he was teaching them as having authority, and not as the scribes.
23 And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit, and he cried out,
24 saying, `Away! what -- to us and to thee, Jesus the Nazarene? thou didst come to destroy us; I have known thee who thou art -- the Holy One of God.'
25 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, `Be silenced, and come forth out of him,'
26 and the unclean spirit having torn him, and having cried with a great voice, came forth out of him,
27 and they were all amazed, so as to reason among themselves, saying, `What is this? what new teaching [is] this? that with authority also the unclean spirits he commandeth, and they obey him!'
28 And the fame of him went forth immediately to all the region, round about, of Galilee.
29 And immediately, having come forth out of the synagogue, they went to the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John,
30 and the mother-in-law of Simon was lying fevered, and immediately they tell him about her,
31 and having come near, he raised her up, having laid hold of her hand, and the fever left her immediately, and she was ministering to them.
32 And evening having come, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all who were ill, and who were demoniacs,
33 and the whole city was gathered together near the door,
34 and he healed many who were ill of manifold diseases, and many demons he cast forth, and was not suffering the demons to speak, because they knew him.
35 And very early, it being yet night, having risen, he went forth, and went away to a desert place, and was there praying;
36 and Simon and those with him went in quest of him,
37 and having found him, they say to him, -- `All do seek thee;'
38 and he saith to them, `We may go to the next towns, that there also I may preach, for for this I came forth.'
39 And he was preaching in their synagogues, in all Galilee, and is casting out the demons,
40 and there doth come to him a leper, calling on him, and kneeling to him, and saying to him -- `If thou mayest will, thou art able to cleanse me.'
41 And Jesus having been moved with compassion, having stretched forth the hand, touched him, and saith to him, `I will; be thou cleansed;'
42 and he having spoken, immediately the leprosy went away from him, and he was cleansed.
43 And having sternly charged him, immediately he put him forth,
44 and saith to him, `See thou mayest say nothing to any one, but go away, thyself shew to the priest, and bring near for thy cleansing the things Moses directed, for a testimony to them.'
45 And he, having gone forth, began to proclaim much, and to spread abroad the thing, so that no more he was able openly to enter into the city, but he was without in desert places, and they were coming unto him from every quarter.
