Mark 1
Good News Translation
The Preaching of John the Baptist(A)
1 This is the Good News about Jesus Christ, the Son of God.[a] 2 (B)It began as the prophet Isaiah had written:
“God said, ‘I will send my messenger ahead of you
to open the way for you.’
3 (C)Someone is shouting in the desert,
‘Get the road ready for the Lord;
make a straight path for him to travel!’”
4 So John appeared in the desert, baptizing and preaching.[b] “Turn away from your sins and be baptized,” he told the people, “and God will forgive your sins.” 5 Many people from the province of Judea and the city of Jerusalem went out to hear John. They confessed their sins, and he baptized them in the Jordan River.
6 (D)John wore clothes made of camel's hair, with a leather belt around his waist, and his food was locusts and wild honey. 7 He announced to the people, “The man who will come after me is much greater than I am. I am not good enough even to bend down and untie his sandals. 8 I baptize you with water, but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.”
The Baptism and Temptation of Jesus(E)
9 Not long afterward Jesus came from Nazareth in the province of Galilee, and was baptized by John in the Jordan. 10 As soon as Jesus came up out of the water, he saw heaven opening and the Spirit coming down on him like a dove. 11 (F)And a voice came from heaven, “You are my own dear Son. I am pleased with you.”
12 At once the Spirit made him go into the desert, 13 where he stayed forty days, being tempted by Satan. Wild animals were there also, but angels came and helped him.
Jesus Calls Four Fishermen(G)
14 After John had been put in prison, Jesus went to Galilee and preached the Good News from God. 15 (H)“The right time has come,” he said, “and the Kingdom of God is near! Turn away from your sins and believe the Good News!”
16 As Jesus walked along the shore of Lake Galilee, he saw two fishermen, Simon and his brother Andrew, catching fish with a net. 17 Jesus said to them, “Come with me, and I will teach you to catch people.” 18 At once they left their nets and went with him.
19 He went a little farther on and saw two other brothers, James and John, the sons of Zebedee. They were in their boat getting their nets ready. 20 As soon as Jesus saw them, he called them; they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men and went with Jesus.
A Man with an Evil Spirit(I)
21 Jesus and his disciples came to the town of Capernaum, and on the next Sabbath Jesus went to the synagogue and began to teach. 22 (J)The people who heard him were amazed at the way he taught, for he wasn't like the teachers of the Law; instead, he taught with authority.
23 Just then a man with an evil spirit came into the synagogue and screamed, 24 “What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Are you here to destroy us? I know who you are—you are God's holy messenger!”
25 Jesus ordered the spirit, “Be quiet, and come out of the man!”
26 The evil spirit shook the man hard, gave a loud scream, and came out of him. 27 The people were all so amazed that they started saying to one another, “What is this? Is it some kind of new teaching? This man has authority to give orders to the evil spirits, and they obey him!”
28 And so the news about Jesus spread quickly everywhere in the province of Galilee.
Jesus Heals Many People(K)
29 Jesus and his disciples, including James and John, left the synagogue and went straight to the home of Simon and Andrew. 30 Simon's mother-in-law was sick in bed with a fever, and as soon as Jesus arrived, he was told about her. 31 He went to her, took her by the hand, and helped her up. The fever left her, and she began to wait on them.
32 After the sun had set and evening had come, people brought to Jesus all the sick and those who had demons. 33 All the people of the town gathered in front of the house. 34 Jesus healed many who were sick with all kinds of diseases and drove out many demons. He would not let the demons say anything, because they knew who he was.
Jesus Preaches in Galilee(L)
35 Very early the next morning, long before daylight, Jesus got up and left the house. He went out of town to a lonely place, where he prayed. 36 But Simon and his companions went out searching for him, 37 and when they found him, they said, “Everyone is looking for you.”
38 But Jesus answered, “We must go on to the other villages around here. I have to preach in them also, because that is why I came.”
39 (M)So he traveled all over Galilee, preaching in the synagogues and driving out demons.
Jesus Heals a Man(N)
40 A man suffering from a dreaded skin disease came to Jesus, knelt down, and begged him for help. “If you want to,” he said, “you can make me clean.”[c]
41 Jesus was filled with pity,[d] and reached out and touched him. “I do want to,” he answered. “Be clean!” 42 At once the disease left the man, and he was clean. 43 Then Jesus spoke sternly to him and sent him away at once, 44 (O)after saying to him, “Listen, don't tell anyone about this. But go straight to the priest and let him examine you; then in order to prove to everyone that you are cured, offer the sacrifice that Moses ordered.”
45 But the man went away and began to spread the news everywhere. Indeed, he talked so much that Jesus could not go into a town publicly. Instead, he stayed out in lonely places, and people came to him from everywhere.

Mark 1
Contemporary English Version
The Preaching of John the Baptist
(Matthew 3.1-12; Luke 3.1-18; John 1.19-28)
1 This is the good news about Jesus Christ, the Son of God.[a] 2 (A) It began just as God had said in the book written by Isaiah the prophet,
“I am sending my messenger
to get the way ready
for you.
3 (B) In the desert
someone is shouting,
‘Get the road ready
for the Lord!
Make a straight path
for him.’ ”
4 So John the Baptist showed up in the desert and told everyone, “Turn back to God and be baptized! Then your sins will be forgiven.”
5 From all Judea and Jerusalem crowds of people went to John. They told how sorry they were for their sins, and he baptized them in the Jordan River.
6 (C) John wore clothes made of camel's hair. He had a leather strap around his waist and ate grasshoppers and wild honey.
7 John also told the people, “Someone more powerful is going to come. And I am not good enough even to stoop down and untie his sandals.[b] 8 I baptize you with water, but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit!”
The Baptism of Jesus
(Matthew 3.13-17; Luke 3.21,22)
9 About that time Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee, and John baptized him in the Jordan River. 10 As soon as Jesus came out of the water, he saw the sky open and the Holy Spirit coming down to him like a dove. 11 (D) A voice from heaven said, “You are my own dear Son, and I am pleased with you.”
Jesus and Satan
(Matthew 4.1-11; Luke 4.1-13)
12 At once God's Spirit made Jesus go into the desert. 13 He stayed there for 40 days while Satan tested him. Jesus was with the wild animals, but angels took care of him.
Jesus Begins His Work
(Matthew 4.12-17; Luke 4.14,15)
14 After John was arrested, Jesus went to Galilee and told the good news that comes from God.[c] 15 (E) He said, “The time has come! God's kingdom will soon be here.[d] Turn back to God and believe the good news!”
Jesus Chooses Four Fishermen
(Matthew 4.18-22; Luke 5.1-11)
16 As Jesus was walking along the shore of Lake Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew. They were fishermen and were casting their nets into the lake. 17 Jesus said to them, “Follow me! I will teach you how to bring in people instead of fish.” 18 Right then the two brothers dropped their nets and went with him.
19 Jesus walked on and soon saw James and John, the sons of Zebedee. They were in a boat, mending their nets. 20 At once Jesus asked them to come with him. They left their father in the boat with the hired workers and went with him.
A Man with an Evil Spirit
(Luke 4.31-37)
21 Jesus and his disciples went to the town of Capernaum. Then on the next Sabbath he went into the synagogue and started teaching. 22 (F) Everyone was amazed at his teaching. He taught with authority, and not like the teachers of the Law of Moses. 23 Suddenly a man with an evil spirit[e] in him entered the synagogue and yelled, 24 “Jesus from Nazareth, what do you want with us? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are! You are God's Holy One.”
25 Jesus told the evil spirit, “Be quiet and come out of the man!” 26 The spirit shook him. Then it gave a loud shout and left.
27 Everyone was completely surprised and kept saying to each other, “What is this? It must be some new kind of powerful teaching! Even the evil spirits obey him.” 28 News about Jesus quickly spread all over Galilee.
Jesus Heals Many People
(Matthew 8.14-17; Luke 4.38-41)
29 As soon as Jesus left the synagogue with James and John, they went home with Simon and Andrew. 30 When they got there, Jesus was told that Simon's mother-in-law was sick in bed with fever. 31 Jesus went to her. He took hold of her hand and helped her up. The fever left her, and she served them a meal.
32 That evening after sunset,[f] all who were sick or had demons in them were brought to Jesus. 33 In fact, the whole town gathered around the door of the house. 34 Jesus healed all kinds of terrible diseases and forced out a lot of demons. But the demons knew who he was, and he did not let them speak.
35 Very early the next morning before daylight, Jesus got up and went to a place where he could be alone and pray. 36 Simon and the others started looking for him. 37 And when they found him, they said, “Everyone is looking for you!”
38 Jesus replied, “We must go to the nearby towns, so that I can tell the good news to those people. This is why I have come.” 39 (G) Then Jesus went to their synagogues everywhere in Galilee, where he preached and forced out demons.
Jesus Heals a Man
(Matthew 8.1-4; Luke 5.12-16)
40 A man with leprosy[g] came to Jesus and knelt down.[h] He begged, “You have the power to make me well, if only you wanted to.”
41 Jesus felt sorry for[i] the man. So he put his hand on him and said, “I want to! Now you are well.” 42 At once the man's leprosy disappeared, and he was well.
43 After Jesus strictly warned the man, he sent him on his way. 44 (H) He said, “Don't tell anyone about this. Just go and show the priest that you are well. Then take a gift to the temple as Moses commanded, and everyone will know that you have been healed.”[j]
45 The man talked about it so much and told so many people, that Jesus could no longer go openly into a town. He had to stay away from the towns, but people still came to him from everywhere.

马可福音 1
Chinese Standard Bible (Simplified)
基督的先驱
1 神的儿子耶稣基督福音的开始[a]。 2 正如先知以赛亚[b]书上所记载的：
4 于是约翰就来了。他在旷野施洗[g]，并宣讲为罪得赦免而悔改的洗礼。 5 全犹太地区和整个耶路撒冷的人，都出来到他那里，承认自己的罪孽，在约旦河里受他的洗礼[h]。 6 约翰穿的是骆驼毛的衣服[i]，腰束皮带，吃的是蝗虫和野蜜。 7 他宣讲，说：“在我之后，有一位比我更强有力的要来。我就是弯腰为他解鞋带也不配。 8 我用水[j]给你们施洗，但他要用圣灵给你们施洗。”
耶稣受洗
9 在那些日子里，耶稣从加利利的拿撒勒来，在约旦河里受约翰的洗礼[k]。 10 耶稣一从水里上来，就看见诸天裂开了，圣灵好像鸽子降临在他身上。 11 这时候，有声音从诸天传来，说：
“你是我的爱子，
我喜悦你。”
耶稣受试探
12 圣灵立刻催促耶稣到旷野里去。 13 他在旷野里四十天，受撒旦的试探。他与野兽在一起，并有天使们伺候他。
在加利利的服事
14 约翰被逮捕以后，耶稣来到加利利，传神的[l]福音， 15 说：“日期满了，神的国近了！你们应当悔改，相信福音！”
第一批门徒
16 耶稣从加利利湖边[m]经过[n]，看见西门和他弟弟[o]安得烈，正在湖里撒网；他们本来是渔夫。
17 耶稣就对他们说：“来跟从我！我将要使你们成为得人的渔夫。” 18 他们立刻舍弃渔网，跟从了耶稣。 19 稍往前走，耶稣看见西庇太的儿子雅各和他弟弟约翰。他们正在船上修补渔网。 20 耶稣随即召唤他们。他们就离开了在船上的父亲西庇太和雇工们，并且跟着耶稣去了。
驱赶污灵
21 他们来到迦百农。安息日一到，耶稣就进了会堂教导人。 22 众人对耶稣的教导都惊叹不已，因为他教导他们，就像有权柄的人，不像经文士们。
23 忽然[p]，在他们的会堂里，有一个被污灵附身的人喊叫， 24 说：“[q]拿撒勒人耶稣，我们与你有什么关系？你来毁灭我们吗？我知道你是谁，你是神的那位圣者。”
25 耶稣斥责污灵说：“住口！从这个人里面出来！” 26 污灵使那个人抽疯，然后大声喊叫着从他里面出来了。
27 结果大家都惊讶不已，彼此谈论说：“这是怎么回事？！一个带有权柄的新的教导！他命令污灵[r]，污灵就都听从他！” 28 于是耶稣的消息很快地传遍了加利利周围所有的地区。
在迦百农治病
29 他们从会堂出来，随即到西门和安得烈的家去，雅各和约翰也一起去。 30 西门的岳母正发烧躺着，他们立刻把她的事告诉耶稣。 31 耶稣上前去，握着她的手，扶她起来，烧就[s]退了。于是她就服事他们。
32 到了傍晚，日落的时候，人们带着所有患病的、有鬼魔附身的，到耶稣那里去。 33 全城的人都聚集在门前。 34 耶稣就使许多患有各种疾病的人痊愈，又驱赶了很多鬼魔。他不准鬼魔说话，因为那些鬼魔知道他是谁。
在加利利传道
35 大清早，天还没亮，耶稣就起来，走出去，到一个荒僻的地方，在那里祷告。 36 西门和那些与他在一起的人去寻找耶稣， 37 找到了，就对他说：“大家都在找你呢！”
38 耶稣对他们说：“我们往别的地方去，[t]到邻近的乡村去吧。我也好在那里传道，因为我是为此而来的。” 39 于是耶稣在全加利利往来[u]，在他们的会堂里传道，并且驱赶鬼魔。
洁净麻风病人
40 有一个麻风病人来到耶稣面前，跪下来[v]恳求他说：“如果你愿意，你就能洁净我。”
41 耶稣动了怜悯之心，就伸出手来摸他，说：“我愿意，你洁净了吧！” 42 麻风病立刻离开他，他就被洁净了。 43 耶稣当下催他离开，并严厉地告诫他， 44 说：“你要注意，对任何人都不要说什么，只要去把自己给祭司看，并且为了你的洁净，献上摩西所吩咐的祭物，好对他们做见证。” 45 但那个人一出去，就开始大加宣扬，把这件事传开了，结果耶稣不能再公开进城，只好留在外面荒僻的地方。可是人们还是从各处来到他那里。
