Mark 1
Lexham English Bible
John the Baptist Begins His Ministry
1 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ.[a] 2 Just as it is written in the prophet Isaiah,
“Behold, I am sending my messenger before your face,
who will prepare your way,
3 the voice of one shouting in the wilderness,
‘Prepare the way of the Lord,
make straight his paths!’”[b]
4 John was there baptizing in the wilderness, proclaiming[c] a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. 5 And all the Judean region and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem went out to him and were being baptized by him in the Jordan River, confessing their sins. 6 And John was dressed in camel’s hair and a belt made of leather around his waist, and he ate locusts and wild honey. 7 And he was preaching, saying, “One who is more powerful than I is coming after me, of whom I am not worthy to bend down and[d] untie the strap of his sandals. 8 I baptized you with water, but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.”
The Baptism of Jesus
9 And it happened that in those days Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized in the Jordan by John. 10 And immediately as he[e] was coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens being split apart and the Spirit descending like a dove on him. 11 And a voice came from heaven, “You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased.”
The Temptation of Jesus
12 And immediately the Spirit drove him out into the wilderness. 13 And he was in the wilderness forty days being tempted by Satan. And he was with the wild animals, and the angels were ministering to him.
Public Ministry in Galilee
14 And after[f] John had been taken into custody,[g] Jesus went into Galilee proclaiming the gospel of God 15 and saying, “The time is fulfilled and the kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe in the gospel!”
Jesus Calls His First Disciples
16 And as he[h] was passing by along the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew, Simon’s brother, casting a net[i] into the sea (for they were fishermen). 17 And Jesus said to them, “Follow[j] me and I will make you become fishers of people.” 18 And immediately they left their nets and[k] followed him. 19 And going on a little farther, he saw James the son of Zebedee and his brother John, and they were in the boat mending the nets. 20 And immediately he called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men and[l] went away after him. 21 And they went into Capernaum and immediately on the Sabbath he began to teach in the synagogue.[m]
A Man with an Unclean Spirit Healed
22 And they were amazed at his teaching, because he was teaching them like one who had authority, and not like the scribes. 23 And so then there was a man in their synagogue with an unclean spirit, and he cried out, 24 saying, “Leave us alone,[n] Jesus the Nazarene! Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God!” 25 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be silent, and come out of him!” 26 And after[o] convulsing him and crying out with a loud voice, the unclean spirit came out of him. 27 And they were all amazed, so that they began to discuss with one another, saying, “What is this? A new teaching with authority! He even commands the unclean spirits and they obey him.” 28 And the report about him then went out everywhere in the whole surrounding region of Galilee.
Many at Capernaum Are Healed
29 And so then he departed from the synagogue and[p] came into the house of Simon and Andrew with James and John. 30 Now Simon’s mother-in-law was lying down, suffering with a fever, and at once they told him about her. 31 And he came and[q] raised her up by[r] taking hold of her[s] hand, and the fever left her, and she began to serve them.
32 Now when it[t] was evening, when the sun had set, they began bringing[u] to him all those who were sick[v] and those who were demon-possessed. 33 And the whole town was gathered together at the door. 34 And he healed many who were sick[w] with various diseases and expelled many demons. And he did not permit the demons to speak, because they knew him.
Preaching Throughout Galilee
35 And getting up early in the morning while it was very dark, he departed and went to a deserted place, and there he was praying. 36 And Simon and those who were with him searched diligently for him. 37 And they found him and said to him, “Everyone is looking for you!” 38 And he said to them, “Let us go elsewhere, into the neighboring rural towns, so that I can preach there also, because I have come out for this very reason.” 39 And he went into all Galilee preaching in their synagogues and expelling demons.
A Leper Cleansed
40 And a leper came to him, entreating him and kneeling down, saying[x] to him, “If you are willing, you are able to make me clean.” 41 And becoming angry,[y] he stretched out his hand and[z] touched him[aa], and said to him, “I am willing; be made clean.” 42 And immediately the leprosy went away from him and he was made clean. 43 And warning him sternly, he sent him away at once. 44 And he said to him, “See to it that you say nothing to anyone, but go, show yourself to the priest and bring for your cleansing the things which Moses commanded, for a testimony to them. 45 But he went out and[ab] began to proclaim it[ac] freely and to spread abroad the account, so that he was no longer able to enter publicly into a town. But he was staying outside in deserted places, and they were coming to him from all directions.

马可福音 1
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
施洗者约翰预备道路
1 有关上帝的儿子耶稣基督的福音是这样开始的。
2 以赛亚先知书上说:
“看啊,
我要差遣我的使者在你前面为你预备道路。
3 他在旷野大声呼喊,
‘预备主的道,
修直祂的路。’”
4 果然,约翰出现了,他在旷野劝人悔改,接受洗礼,使罪得到赦免。 5 犹太全境和耶路撒冷的居民都到约翰面前承认他们的罪,在约旦河里接受他的洗礼。
6 约翰身穿骆驼毛的衣服,腰束皮带,吃的是蝗虫和野蜜。 7 他传道说:“在我之后,有一位能力比我更大的要来,我连弯腰替祂解鞋带也不配。 8 我是用水给你们施洗,但祂要用圣灵给你们施洗。”
耶稣受洗
9 那时,耶稣从加利利的拿撒勒来约旦河接受约翰的洗礼。 10 耶稣从水中一上来,就看见天开了,圣灵好像鸽子一样降在祂身上, 11 从天上有声音说:“你是我的爱子,我甚喜悦你。”
耶稣受试探
12 圣灵随即催促祂到旷野。 13 祂在旷野受撒旦的试探四十天。祂与野兽在一起,有天使服侍祂。
呼召四渔夫
14 约翰被捕后,耶稣来到加利利宣讲上帝的福音,说: 15 “时候到了,上帝的国临近了,你们要悔改,相信福音。”
16 耶稣沿着加利利湖边走,看见两个渔夫——西门和他的弟弟安得烈正在湖上撒网捕鱼。 17 耶稣对他们说:“来跟从我!我要使你们成为得人的渔夫。” 18 他们立刻抛下渔网,跟从了耶稣。
19 耶稣往前走了不远,又看见西庇太的两个儿子雅各和约翰正在船上补网, 20 便立刻呼召他们。他们就辞别父亲和船上的工人,跟从了耶稣。
传道赶鬼
21 他们到了迦百农,耶稣在安息日去会堂里讲道。 22 那里的人都很吃惊,因为祂教导他们时像个有权柄的人,不像律法教师。 23 当时会堂里有一个被污鬼附身的人喊道: 24 “拿撒勒的耶稣啊,我们和你有什么关系?你是来毁灭我们吗?我知道你是谁,你是上帝的圣者!”
25 耶稣责备它说:“住口,从他身上出来!”
26 污鬼使那人抽搐了一阵,大叫一声,就出来了。 27 在场的人十分惊讶,彼此议论说:“这是怎么回事?真是充满权柄的新教导啊!竟然连污鬼都服从祂的命令。” 28 于是,耶稣的名声立刻传遍了整个加利利。
医病赶鬼
29 耶稣同雅各和约翰离开会堂,来到西门和安得烈家。 30 当时西门的岳母正发烧,躺在床上,他们立刻把这事告诉耶稣。 31 耶稣走到她的床边,拉着她的手扶她起来,她的烧立刻退了,便起来服侍他们。
32 日落之后,有人把病人和被鬼附身的人都带来见耶稣。 33 全城的人都聚在门前。 34 耶稣医好了许多患各种疾病的人,又赶出很多鬼。祂不准鬼说话,因为鬼认识祂。
在加利利传道
35 第二天清早,天还没亮,耶稣就起来独自走到旷野去祷告。 36 西门和同伴们四处寻找耶稣, 37 找到了,便对祂说:“大家都在找你呢!”
38 耶稣却回答说:“我们到附近的乡镇去吧,我也好在那里传道,因为我就是为这事来的。”
39 于是,耶稣走遍加利利,在各会堂传道,赶鬼。
治好麻风病人
40 有一次,一个患麻风病的人来到耶稣面前,跪下央求:“只要你肯,一定能使我洁净。”
41 耶稣动了慈心,就伸手摸他,说:“我肯,你洁净了吧!” 42 那人的麻风病立即消失了,他就洁净了。 43 耶稣让他回去并郑重地叮嘱: 44 “不要把这事告诉别人,要去让祭司察看你的身体,并照摩西的规定献祭,向众人证明你已经洁净了。”
45 但那人离开之后,却到处传扬这件事,以致耶稣无法再公开进城。祂只能待在城外的旷野,可是人们仍从各处来找祂。
