施洗約翰(A)

 神的兒子(有些抄本無“ 神的兒子”一句)耶穌基督福音的開始。

正如以賽亞先知的書上寫著:

“看哪,我差遣我的使者在你面前,

預備你的道路;

在曠野有呼喊者的聲音:

‘預備主的道,

修直他的路!’”

照這話,施洗的約翰在曠野出現了,傳講悔改的洗禮,使罪得赦。 猶太全地和全耶路撒冷的人,都出來到他那裡去,承認自己的罪,在約旦河裡受了他的洗。 約翰身穿駱駝毛的衣服,腰束皮帶,吃的是蝗蟲和野蜜。 他傳講說:“有一位在我以後來的,能力比我大,我就是彎腰給他解鞋帶都沒有資格。 我用水給你們施洗,他卻要用聖靈給你們施洗。”

耶穌受洗(B)

那時候耶穌從加利利的拿撒勒來,在約旦河裡受了約翰的洗。 10 他從水裡一上來,就看見天裂開了,聖靈仿佛鴿子降在他身上。 11 又有聲音從天上來說:“你是我的愛子,我喜悅你。”

耶穌受試探(C)

12 聖靈隨即催促耶穌到曠野去。 13 他在那裡四十天,受撒但的試探,和野獸在一起,有天使來服事他。

在加利利傳道(D)

14 約翰被捕以後,耶穌來到加利利,宣講 神的福音, 15 說:“時候到了, 神的國近了,你們應當悔改,相信福音。”

呼召四個門徒(E)

16 耶穌沿著加利利海邊行走,看見西門和他弟弟安得烈在海上撒網;他們是漁夫。 17 耶穌就對他們說:“來跟從我,我要使你們成為得人的漁夫。” 18 他們立刻撇下網,跟從了他。 19 耶穌稍往前走,看見西庇太的兒子雅各,和雅各的弟弟約翰,正在船上整理魚網, 20 他立即呼召他們。他們撇下父親西庇太和雇工在船上,就跟從他去了。

在迦百農趕出污靈(F)

21 他們到了迦百農,耶穌隨即在安息日進入會堂教導人。 22 大家對他的教訓都很驚奇,因為他教導他們,像一個有權柄的人,不像經學家。 23 就在那時,會堂裡有一個被污靈附著的人,喊叫起來, 24 說:“拿撒勒人耶穌,我們跟你有甚麼關係呢?你來毀滅我們嗎?我知道你是誰,你是 神的聖者。” 25 耶穌斥責他說:“住口!從他身上出來!” 26 污靈使那人抽瘋,大聲喊叫,就從他身上出來了。 27 眾人都很驚訝,於是彼此對問說:“這是怎麼一回事?是個有權能的新道理啊!他吩咐污靈,污靈竟服從了他!” 28 耶穌的名聲立刻傳遍了加利利一帶。

治病趕鬼(G)

29 他們一出會堂,就和雅各、約翰到西門和安得烈的家裡去。 30 西門的岳母正在發燒躺著,他們立刻告訴耶穌。 31 耶穌走到她面前,拉著她的手,扶她起來,熱就退了,她就服事他們。 32 到了黃昏,有人不斷把生病的和被鬼附的,都帶到耶穌面前。 33 全城的人都聚集在門口。 34 耶穌醫好了各樣的病,也趕出許多的鬼,並且不許鬼說話,因為鬼認識他。

在加利利傳道趕鬼(H)

35 次日凌晨,天還沒有亮,耶穌起身出去,來到荒野的地方,在那裡禱告。 36 西門和那些跟他在一起的人就去尋找耶穌。 37 他們找到了,就對他說:“大家都在找你呢!” 38 耶穌對他們說:“我們到鄰近的鄉鎮去吧,我也好在那裡傳道,因為我就是為這事而來的。” 39 於是他走遍加利利全地,在他們的會堂裡傳道,並且趕鬼。

治好痲風病人(I)

40 有一個患痲風的人,來到耶穌跟前,跪下求他說:“如果你肯,必能使我潔淨。” 41 耶穌動了憐憫的心,就伸手摸他,說:“我肯,你潔淨了吧!” 42 痲風立刻離開了他,他就潔淨了。 43 耶穌打發那人離開以前,嚴厲地吩咐他, 44 說:“你千萬不可把這事告訴任何人,你只要去給祭司檢查,並且照著摩西所規定的,為你得潔淨獻祭,好向大家作證。” 45 但那人出來,竟任意傳講,就把這事傳開了,以致耶穌不能再公開進城,只好留在外邊荒野的地方;然而還是有人從各處到他那裡去。

John Prepares the Way(A)

This is the beginning of the Good News about Yeshua Christ, the Son of God.

The prophet Isaiah wrote,

“I am sending my messenger ahead of you
    to prepare the way for you.”
“A voice cries out in the desert:
    ‘Prepare the way for the Lord!
    Make his paths straight!’”

John the Baptizer was in the desert telling people about a baptism of repentance[a] for the forgiveness of sins. All Judea and all the people of Jerusalem went to him. As they confessed their sins, he baptized them in the Jordan River.

John was dressed in clothes made from camel’s hair. He wore a leather belt around his waist and ate locusts and wild honey.

He announced, “The one who comes after me is more powerful than I. I am not worthy to bend down and untie his sandal straps. I have baptized you with water, but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.”

John Baptizes Jesus(B)

At that time Yeshua came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan River. 10 As Yeshua came out of the water, he saw heaven split open and the Spirit coming down to him as a dove. 11 A voice from heaven said, “You are my Son, whom I love. I am pleased with you.”

Satan Tempts Jesus(C)

12 At once the Spirit brought him into the desert, 13 where he was tempted by Satan for 40 days. He was there with the wild animals, and the angels took care of him.

Calling of the First Disciples(D)

14 After John had been put in prison, Yeshua went to Galilee and told people the Good News of God. 15 He said, “The time has come, and the kingdom of God is near. Change the way you think and act, and believe the Good News.”

16 As he was going along the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew. They were throwing a net into the sea because they were fishermen. 17 Yeshua said to them, “Come, follow me! I will teach you how to catch people instead of fish.” 18 They immediately left their nets and followed him.

19 As Yeshua went on a little farther, he saw James and John, the sons of Zebedee. They were in a boat preparing their nets to go fishing. 20 He immediately called them, and they left their father Zebedee and the hired men in the boat and followed Yeshua.

Jesus Forces an Evil Spirit out of a Man(E)

21 Then they went to Capernaum. On the next day of worship, Yeshua went into the synagogue and began to teach. 22 The people were amazed at his teachings. Unlike their experts in Moses’ Teachings, he taught them with authority.

23 At that time there was a man in the synagogue who was controlled by an evil spirit. He shouted, 24 “What do you want with us, Yeshua from Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God!”

25 Yeshua ordered the spirit, “Keep quiet, and come out of him!” 26 The evil spirit threw the man into convulsions and came out of him with a loud shriek.

27 Everyone was stunned. They said to each other, “What is this? This is a new teaching that has authority behind it! He gives orders to evil spirits, and they obey him.”

28 The news about him spread quickly throughout the surrounding region of Galilee.

Jesus Cures Simon’s Mother-in-Law and Many Others(F)

29 After they left the synagogue, they went directly to the house of Simon and Andrew. James and John went with them. 30 Simon’s mother-in-law was in bed with a fever. The first thing they did was to tell Yeshua about her. 31 Yeshua went to her, took her hand, and helped her get up. The fever went away, and she prepared a meal for them.

32 In the evening, when the sun had set, people brought to him everyone who was sick and those possessed by demons. 33 The whole city had gathered at his door. 34 He cured many who were sick with various diseases and forced many demons out of people. However, he would not allow the demons to speak. After all, they knew who he was.

Spreading the Good News in Galilee(G)

35 In the morning, long before sunrise, Yeshua went to a place where he could be alone to pray. 36 Simon and his friends searched for him. 37 When they found him, they told him, “Everyone is looking for you.”

38 Yeshua said to them, “Let’s go somewhere else, to the small towns that are nearby. I have to spread the Good News in them also. This is why I have come.”

39 So he went to spread the Good News in the synagogues all over Galilee, and he forced demons out of people.

Jesus Cures a Man with a Skin Disease(H)

40 Then a man with a serious skin disease came to him. The man fell to his knees and begged Yeshua, “If you’re willing, you can make me clean.”[b]

41 Yeshua felt sorry for him, reached out, touched him, and said, “I’m willing. So be clean!”

42 Immediately, his skin disease went away, and he was clean.

43 Yeshua sent him away at once and warned him, 44 “Don’t tell anyone about this! Instead, show yourself to the priest. Then offer the sacrifices which Moses commanded as proof to people that you are clean.”

45 When the man left, he began to talk freely. He spread his story so widely that Yeshua could no longer enter any city openly. Instead, he stayed in places where he could be alone. But people still kept coming to him from everywhere.

Footnotes

  1. Mark 1:4 “Repentance” is turning to God with a complete change in the way a person thinks and acts.
  2. Mark 1:40 “Clean” refers to anything that Moses’ Teachings say is presentable to God.

John the Baptist Prepares the Way(A)

The (B)beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, (C)the Son of God. As it is written in [a]the Prophets:

(D)“Behold, I send My messenger before Your face,
Who will prepare Your way before You.”
“The(E) voice of one crying in the wilderness:
‘Prepare the way of the Lord;
Make His paths straight.’ ”

(F)John came baptizing in the wilderness and preaching a baptism of repentance [b]for the remission of sins. (G)Then all the land of Judea, and those from Jerusalem, went out to him and were all baptized by him in the Jordan River, confessing their sins.

Now John was (H)clothed with camel’s hair and with a leather belt around his waist, and he ate locusts and wild honey. And he preached, saying, (I)“There comes One after me who is mightier than I, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to stoop down and loose. (J)I indeed baptized you with water, but He will baptize you (K)with the Holy Spirit.”

John Baptizes Jesus(L)

(M)It came to pass in those days that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John in the Jordan. 10 (N)And immediately, coming up [c]from the water, He saw the heavens [d]parting and the Spirit (O)descending upon Him like a dove. 11 Then a voice came from heaven, (P)“You are My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”

Satan Tempts Jesus(Q)

12 (R)Immediately the Spirit [e]drove Him into the wilderness. 13 And He was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted by Satan, and was with the wild beasts; (S)and the angels ministered to Him.

Jesus Begins His Galilean Ministry(T)

14 (U)Now after John was put in prison, Jesus came to Galilee, (V)preaching the gospel [f]of the kingdom of God, 15 and saying, (W)“The time is fulfilled, and (X)the kingdom of God [g]is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel.”

Four Fishermen Called as Disciples(Y)

16 (Z)And as He walked by the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen. 17 Then Jesus said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you become (AA)fishers of men.” 18 (AB)They immediately left their nets and followed Him.

19 When He had gone a little farther from there, He saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the boat mending their nets. 20 And immediately He called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, and went after Him.

Jesus Casts Out an Unclean Spirit(AC)

21 (AD)Then they went into Capernaum, and immediately on the Sabbath He entered the (AE)synagogue and taught. 22 (AF)And they were astonished at His teaching, for He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

23 Now there was a man in their synagogue with an (AG)unclean spirit. And he cried out, 24 saying, “Let us alone! (AH)What have we to do with You, Jesus of Nazareth? Did You come to destroy us? I (AI)know who You are—the (AJ)Holy One of God!”

25 But Jesus (AK)rebuked him, saying, [h]“Be quiet, and come out of him!” 26 And when the unclean spirit (AL)had convulsed him and cried out with a loud voice, he came out of him. 27 Then they were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, [i]“What is this? What new [j]doctrine is this? For with authority He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey Him.” 28 And immediately His (AM)fame spread throughout all the region around Galilee.

Peter’s Mother-in-Law Healed(AN)

29 (AO)Now as soon as they had come out of the synagogue, they entered the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. 30 But Simon’s wife’s mother lay sick with a fever, and they told Him about her at once. 31 So He came and took her by the hand and lifted her up, and immediately the fever left her. And she served them.

Many Healed After Sabbath Sunset(AP)

32 (AQ)At evening, when the sun had set, they brought to Him all who were sick and those who were demon-possessed. 33 And the whole city was gathered together at the door. 34 Then He healed many who were sick with various diseases, and (AR)cast out many demons; and He (AS)did not allow the demons to speak, because they knew Him.

Preaching in Galilee(AT)

35 Now (AU)in the morning, having risen a long while before daylight, He went out and departed to a [k]solitary place; and there He (AV)prayed. 36 And Simon and those who were with Him searched for Him. 37 When they found Him, they said to Him, (AW)“Everyone (AX)is looking for You.”

38 But He said to them, (AY)“Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also, because (AZ)for this purpose I have come forth.”

39 (BA)And He was preaching in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and (BB)casting out demons.

Jesus Cleanses a Leper(BC)

40 (BD)Now a leper came to Him, imploring Him, kneeling down to Him and saying to Him, “If You are willing, You can make me clean.”

41 Then Jesus, moved with (BE)compassion, stretched out His hand and touched him, and said to him, “I am willing; be cleansed.” 42 As soon as He had spoken, (BF)immediately the leprosy left him, and he was cleansed. 43 And He strictly warned him and sent him away at once, 44 and said to him, “See that you say nothing to anyone; but go your way, show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing those things (BG)which Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”

45 (BH)However, he went out and began to proclaim it freely, and to spread the matter, so that Jesus could no longer openly enter the city, but was outside in deserted places; (BI)and they came to Him from every direction.
