Mark 1
Christian Standard Bible
The Messiah’s Herald
1 The beginning(A) of the gospel(B) of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.[a](C) 2 As it is written in Isaiah(D) the prophet:[b](E)
See, I am sending my messenger(F) ahead of you;
he will prepare your way.[c][d] (G)
3 A voice of one crying out in the wilderness:(H)
Prepare the way for the Lord;(I)
make his paths straight
4 John came baptizing[f](K) in the wilderness(L) and proclaiming a baptism of repentance(M) for the forgiveness(N) of sins.(O) 5 The whole Judean countryside and all the people of Jerusalem(P) were going out to him, and they were baptized by him in the Jordan(Q) River, confessing(R) their sins.(S) 6 John wore a camel-hair garment with a leather belt around his waist and ate locusts(T) and wild honey.(U)
7 He proclaimed, “One who is more powerful(V) than I am is coming after me.(W) I am not worthy(X) to stoop down and untie the strap of his sandals.(Y) 8 I baptize you with[g] water,(Z) but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.”(AA)
The Baptism of Jesus
9 In(AB) those days Jesus came from Nazareth(AC) in Galilee(AD) and was baptized in the Jordan by John. 10 As soon as he came up out of the water, he saw the heavens(AE) being torn open and the Spirit descending on him like a dove. 11 And a voice(AF) came from heaven:(AG) “You are my beloved(AH) Son;(AI) with you I am well-pleased.”(AJ)
The Temptation of Jesus
12 Immediately(AK) the Spirit(AL) drove(AM) him into the wilderness.(AN) 13 He was in the wilderness forty days, being tempted(AO) by Satan.(AP) He was with the wild animals,(AQ) and the angels(AR) were serving him.
Ministry in Galilee
14 After(AS) John was arrested,(AT) Jesus went to Galilee,(AU) proclaiming(AV) the good news[h][i](AW) of God:(AX) 15 “The time(AY) is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God(AZ) has come(BA) near.(BB) Repent(BC) and believe(BD) the good news!”
The First Disciples
16 As(BE) he passed alongside the Sea of Galilee,(BF) he saw Simon(BG) and Andrew,(BH) Simon’s brother, casting a net into the sea(BI)—for they were fishermen. 17 “Follow me,”(BJ) Jesus told them, “and I will make you fish for[j](BK) people.”(BL) 18 Immediately they left their nets and followed(BM) him.(BN) 19 Going on a little farther, he saw James(BO) the son of Zebedee(BP) and his brother John(BQ) in a boat putting their nets in order. 20 Immediately he called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men and followed him.(BR)
Driving Out an Unclean Spirit
21 They(BS) went into Capernaum,(BT) and right away he entered the synagogue(BU) on the Sabbath(BV) and began to teach.(BW) 22 They were astonished(BX) at his teaching(BY) because he was teaching them as one who had authority, and not like the scribes.
23 Just then a man with an unclean(BZ) spirit(CA) was in their synagogue.(CB) He cried out, 24 “What do you have to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth?(CC) Have you come to destroy(CD) us? I know who you are—the Holy(CE) One of God!” (CF)
25 Jesus rebuked(CG) him saying, “Be silent,(CH) and come out of him!” 26 And the unclean spirit threw him into convulsions,(CI) shouted with a loud voice, and came out of him.
27 They were all amazed,(CJ) and so they began to ask(CK) each other, “What is this? A new teaching(CL) with authority He commands even the unclean(CN) spirits,(CO) and they obey him.” 28 At once the news about him spread throughout the entire vicinity of Galilee.(CP)
Healings at Capernaum
29 As(CQ) soon as they left the synagogue,(CR) they went into Simon(CS) and Andrew’s(CT) house(CU) with James(CV) and John.(CW) 30 Simon’s mother-in-law was lying in bed with a fever, and they told him about her at once. 31 So he went to her, took her by the hand, and raised her up.(CX) The fever(CY) left her,[l] and she began to serve(CZ) them.(DA)
32 When(DB) evening came, after the sun had set, they brought to him all those who were sick(DC) and demon-possessed.(DD) 33 The whole town was assembled at the door, 34 and he healed(DE) many who were sick with various diseases(DF) and drove out(DG) many demons.(DH) And he would not permit the demons to speak, because they knew him.(DI)
Preaching in Galilee
35 Very(DJ) early in the morning, while it was still dark, he got up, went out, and made his way to a deserted place;(DK) and there he was praying.(DL) 36 Simon(DM) and his companions searched for him, 37 and when they found him they said, “Everyone is looking for you.”
38 And he said to them, “Let’s go on to the neighboring villages so that I may preach(DN) there too. This is why I have come.”
A Man Cleansed
39 He went into all of Galilee,(DO) preaching in their synagogues(DP) and driving out demons. 40 Then(DQ) a man with leprosy[m](DR) came to him and, on his knees,[n](DS) begged him, “If you are willing, you can make me clean.”(DT) 41 Moved with compassion,[o](DU) Jesus reached out his hand and touched(DV) him. “I am willing,” he told him. “Be made clean.” 42 Immediately the leprosy(DW) left him, and he was made clean. 43 Then he sternly warned(DX) him and sent him away(DY) at once, 44 telling him, “See that you say nothing to anyone;(DZ) but go and show(EA) yourself to the priest,(EB) and offer(EC) what Moses commanded for your cleansing,(ED) as a testimony(EE) to them.”[p] 45 Yet he went out and began to proclaim(EF) it widely and to spread the news,(EG) with the result that Jesus could no longer enter a town openly. But he was out in deserted places, and they came to him from everywhere.

New King James Version
John the Baptist Prepares the Way(A)
1 The (B)beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, (C)the Son of God. 2 As it is written in [a]the Prophets:
(D)“Behold, I send My messenger before Your face,
Who will prepare Your way before You.”
3 “The(E) voice of one crying in the wilderness:
‘Prepare the way of the Lord;
Make His paths straight.’ ”
4 (F)John came baptizing in the wilderness and preaching a baptism of repentance [b]for the remission of sins. 5 (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.
6 Now John was (H)clothed with camel’s hair and with a leather belt around his waist, and he ate locusts and wild honey. 7 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. 8 (J)I indeed baptized you with water, but He will baptize you (K)with the Holy Spirit.”
John Baptizes Jesus(L)
9 (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.

Reina-Valera 1995
Predicación de Juan el Bautista(A)
1 Principio del evangelio de Jesucristo, Hijo de Dios. 2 Como está escrito en el profeta Isaías:
«Yo envío mi mensajero delante de tu faz,
el cual preparará tu camino delante de ti.
3 Voz del que clama en el desierto:
“Preparad el camino del Señor.
¡Enderezad sus sendas!”»
4 Bautizaba Juan en el desierto y predicaba el bautismo de arrepentimiento para perdón de pecados. 5 Acudía 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 Juan estaba vestido de pelo de camello, tenía un cinto de cuero alrededor de su cintura, 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, agachado, 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(B)
9 Aconteció en aquellos días que Jesús vino de Nazaret de Galilea, y fue bautizado por Juan en el Jordán. 10 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.»
Tentación de Jesús(C)
12 Luego el Espíritu lo impulsó al desierto. 13 Y estuvo allí en el desierto cuarenta días. Era tentado por Satanás y estaba con las fieras, y los ángeles lo servían.
Jesús principia su ministerio(D)
14 Después que Juan fue encarcelado, Jesús fue a Galilea predicando el evangelio del reino de Dios. 15 Decía: «El tiempo se ha cumplido y el reino de Dios se ha acercado. ¡Arrepentíos y creed en el evangelio!»
Jesús llama a cuatro pescadores(E)
16 Andando junto al Mar de Galilea, vio a Simón y a su hermano Andrés que echaban la red en el mar, porque eran pescadores. 17 Jesús les dijo:
—Venid en pos de mí, y haré que seáis pescadores de hombres.
18 Y dejando al instante sus redes, lo siguieron.
19 Pasando de allí un poco más adelante, vio a Jacobo, hijo de Zebedeo, y a su hermano Juan, que estaban en la barca remendando las redes; 20 y en seguida los llamó. Entonces, dejando a su padre, Zebedeo, en la barca con los jornaleros, lo siguieron.
Un hombre que tenía un espíritu impuro(F)
21 Entraron en Capernaúm, y el sábado entró Jesús en la sinagoga y comenzó a enseñar. 22 Y se admiraban de su doctrina, porque les enseñaba como quien tiene autoridad, y no como los escribas. 23 Pero había en la sinagoga de ellos un hombre con espíritu impuro, que gritó:
24 —¡Ah! ¿Qué tienes con nosotros, Jesús nazareno? ¿Has venido a destruirnos? Sé quién eres: el Santo de Dios.
25 Entonces Jesús lo reprendió, diciendo:
—¡Cállate y sal de él!
26 Y el espíritu impuro, sacudiéndolo con violencia y dando un alarido, salió de él. 27 Todos se asombraron, de tal manera que discutían entre sí, diciendo:
—¿Qué es esto? ¿Qué nueva doctrina es ésta, que con autoridad manda aun a los espíritus impuros, y lo obedecen? 28 Muy pronto se difundió su fama por toda la provincia alrededor de Galilea.
Jesús sana a la suegra de Pedro(G)
29 Al salir de la sinagoga, fueron a casa de Simón y Andrés, con Jacobo y Juan. 30 La suegra de Simón estaba acostada con fiebre, y en seguida le hablaron de ella. 31 Entonces él se acercó, la tomó de la mano y la levantó; e inmediatamente se le pasó la fiebre y los servía.
Jesús sana a muchos enfermos(H)
32 Cuando llegó la noche, luego que el sol se puso, le llevaron a todos los enfermos y endemoniados. 33 Toda la ciudad se agolpó a la puerta. 34 Y sanó a muchos que padecían de diversas enfermedades, y echó fuera muchos demonios; y no dejaba hablar a los demonios, porque lo conocían.
Jesús recorre Galilea predicando(I)
35 Levantándose muy de mañana, siendo aún muy oscuro, salió y se fue a un lugar desierto, y allí oraba. 36 Lo buscó Simón y los que con él estaban, 37 y hallándolo, 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.
Jesús sana a un leproso(J)
40 Vino a él un leproso que, de rodillas, le dijo:
—Si quieres, puedes limpiarme.
41 Jesús, teniendo misericordia de él, extendió la mano, lo tocó y le dijo:
—Quiero, sé limpio.
42 Tan pronto terminó de hablar, la lepra desapareció del hombre, y quedó limpio. 43 Entonces lo despidió en seguida, y le ordenó estrictamente:
44 —Mira, no digas a nadie nada, sino ve, muéstrate al sacerdote y ofrece por tu purificación lo que Moisés mandó, para testimonio a ellos.
45 Pero, al salir, comenzó a publicar y a divulgar mucho 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.
