Mark 1
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 Judaea, 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 farther 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.
Mark 1
English Standard Version
John the Baptist Prepares the Way
1 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, (A)the Son of God.[a]
2 (B)As it is written in Isaiah the prophet,[b]
(C)“Behold, I send my messenger before your face,
who will prepare your way,
3 (D)the voice of one crying in the wilderness:
(E)‘Prepare[c] the way of the Lord,
make his paths straight,’”
4 (F)John appeared, baptizing in (G)the wilderness and proclaiming (H)a baptism of (I)repentance (J)for the forgiveness of sins. 5 And all the country of Judea and all Jerusalem were going out to him and were being baptized by him in the river Jordan, (K)confessing their sins. 6 Now John was (L)clothed with camel's hair and (M)wore a leather belt around his waist and ate (N)locusts and (O)wild honey. 7 And he preached, saying, (P)“After me comes he who is mightier than I, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie. 8 (Q)I have baptized you with water, but (R)he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.”
The Baptism of Jesus
9 (S)In those days Jesus (T)came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan. 10 And when he came up out of the water, immediately he (U)saw (V)the heavens being torn open (W)and the Spirit descending on him like a dove. 11 And (X)a voice came from heaven, (Y)“You are my beloved Son;[d] with you I am well pleased.”
The Temptation of Jesus
12 (Z)The Spirit immediately drove him out into the wilderness. 13 (AA)And he was in the wilderness forty days, being (AB)tempted by (AC)Satan. And he was with the wild animals, and (AD)the angels were ministering to him.
Jesus Begins His Ministry
14 (AE)Now after John was arrested, Jesus (AF)came into Galilee, proclaiming the gospel of God, 15 and saying, (AG)“The time is fulfilled, and (AH)the kingdom of God is at hand;[e] (AI)repent and believe in the gospel.”
Jesus Calls the First Disciples
16 (AJ)Passing alongside the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew the brother of Simon casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen. 17 And Jesus said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you become (AK)fishers of men.”[f] 18 And immediately they left their nets and followed him. 19 And going on a little farther, he saw James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, who were in their boat mending the nets. 20 And immediately he called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants and followed him.
Jesus Heals a Man with an Unclean Spirit
21 (AL)And they went into Capernaum, and immediately (AM)on the Sabbath (AN)he entered the synagogue and was teaching. 22 And (AO)they were astonished at his teaching, (AP)for he taught them as one who had authority, and not as the scribes. 23 And immediately there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit. And he cried out, 24 (AQ)“What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? (AR)I know who you are—(AS)the Holy One of God.” 25 But Jesus (AT)rebuked him, saying, “Be silent, and come out of him!” 26 And the unclean spirit, (AU)convulsing him and (AV)crying out with a loud voice, came out of him. 27 And they were all (AW)amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, “What is this? (AX)A new teaching with authority! He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him.” 28 And at once his fame spread everywhere throughout all the surrounding region of Galilee.
Jesus Heals Many
29 (AY)And immediately he[g] (AZ)left the synagogue and entered the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. 30 Now (BA)Simon's mother-in-law lay ill with a fever, and immediately they told him about her. 31 And he came and (BB)took her by the hand and lifted her up, and the fever left her, and she began to serve them.
32 That evening at sundown they brought to him all who were sick or (BC)oppressed by demons. 33 And the whole city was gathered together at the door. 34 (BD)And he healed many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons. And (BE)he would not permit the demons to speak, because they knew him.
Jesus Preaches in Galilee
35 (BF)And rising very early in the morning, while it was still dark, he departed and went out to a desolate place, and (BG)there he prayed. 36 And Simon and those who were with him searched for him, 37 and they found him and said to him, (BH)“Everyone is looking for you.” 38 And he said to them, “Let us go on to the next towns, that I may preach there also, for (BI)that is why I came out.” 39 (BJ)And (BK)he went throughout all Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and casting out demons.
Jesus Cleanses a Leper
40 (BL)And a leper[h] came to him, imploring him, and (BM)kneeling said to him, (BN)“If you will, you can make me clean.” 41 Moved with pity, he stretched out his hand and touched him and said to him, “I will; be clean.” 42 And immediately the leprosy left him, and he was made clean. 43 And (BO)Jesus[i] sternly charged him and sent him away at once, 44 and said to him, (BP)“See that you say nothing to anyone, but go, (BQ)show yourself to the priest and (BR)offer for your cleansing what Moses commanded, (BS)for a proof to them.” 45 (BT)But he went out and began to talk freely about it, and to spread the news, so that Jesus could no longer openly enter (BU)a town, but was out in (BV)desolate places, and (BW)people were coming to him from every quarter.

Marcos 1
Reina Valera Contemporánea
Predicación de Juan el Bautista(A)
1 Principio del evangelio de Jesucristo, el Hijo de Dios. 2 Como está escrito en el profeta Isaías:
«Yo envío a mi mensajero delante de ti,
El cual preparará tu camino.(B)
3 Una voz clama en el desierto:
“Preparen el camino del Señor;
Enderecen sus sendas.”»(C)
4 Juan se presentó en el desierto, y bautizaba y proclamaba el bautismo de arrepentimiento para el perdón de pecados. 5 Toda la gente de la provincia de Judea y de Jerusalén acudía a él, y allí en el río Jordán confesaban sus pecados, y Juan los bautizaba. 6 La ropa de Juan era de pelo de camello, alrededor de la cintura llevaba un cinto de cuero,(D) y se alimentaba de langostas y miel silvestre. 7 Al predicar, Juan decía: «Después de mí viene uno más poderoso que yo. ¡Yo no soy digno de inclinarme ante él para desatarle la correa de su calzado! 8 A ustedes yo los he bautizado con agua, pero él los bautizará con el Espíritu Santo.»
El bautismo de Jesús(E)
9 Por esos días llegó Jesús desde Nazaret de Galilea, y fue bautizado por Juan en el Jordán. 10 En cuanto Jesús salió del agua, vio que los cielos se abrían y que el Espíritu descendía sobre él como una paloma. 11 Y desde los cielos se oyó una voz que decía: «Tú eres mi Hijo amado, en quien me complazco.»(F)
Tentación de Jesús(G)
12 Enseguida, el Espíritu llevó a Jesús al desierto, 13 y allí fue puesto a prueba por Satanás durante cuarenta días. Estaba entre las fieras, y los ángeles lo servían.
Jesús principia su ministerio(H)
14 Después de que Juan fue encarcelado, Jesús fue a Galilea para proclamar el evangelio del reino de Dios. 15 Decía: «El tiempo se ha cumplido, y el reino de Dios(I) se ha acercado. ¡Arrepiéntanse,(J) y crean en el evangelio!»
Jesús llama a cuatro pescadores(K)
16 Mientras Jesús caminaba junto al lago de Galilea, vio a Simón y a su hermano Andrés. Estaban echando la red al agua, porque eran pescadores. 17 Jesús les dijo: «Síganme, y yo haré de ustedes pescadores de hombres.» 18 Enseguida, ellos dejaron sus redes y lo siguieron. 19 Un poco más adelante, Jesús vio a otros dos hermanos, Jacobo y Juan, hijos de Zebedeo, quienes estaban en la barca y remendaban sus redes. 20 Enseguida Jesús los llamó, y ellos dejaron a su padre Zebedeo en la barca con los jornaleros, y lo siguieron.
Un hombre con un espíritu impuro(L)
21 Llegaron a Cafarnaún, y en cuanto llegó el día de reposo, Jesús fue a la sinagoga y se dedicó a enseñar. 22 La gente se admiraba de sus enseñanzas, porque enseñaba como corresponde a quien tiene autoridad, y no como los escribas.(M) 23 De pronto, un hombre que tenía un espíritu impuro comenzó a gritar en la sinagoga: 24 «Oye, Jesús de Nazaret, ¿qué tienes contra nosotros? ¿Has venido a destruirnos? ¡Yo sé quién eres tú! ¡Eres el Santo de Dios!» 25 Pero Jesús lo reprendió, y le dijo: «¡Cállate, y sal de ese hombre!» 26 El espíritu impuro sacudió al hombre con violencia y, gritando con todas sus fuerzas, salió de aquel hombre. 27 Todos quedaron muy asombrados, y se preguntaban unos a otros: «¿Y esto qué es? ¿Acaso es una nueva enseñanza? ¡Con toda autoridad manda incluso a los espíritus impuros, y éstos lo obedecen!» 28 Y muy pronto la fama de Jesús se difundió por toda la provincia de Galilea.
Jesús sana a la suegra de Pedro(N)
29 En cuanto salieron de la sinagoga, Jesús fue con Jacobo y Juan a la casa de Simón y Andrés. 30 La suegra de Simón estaba en cama porque tenía fiebre, y enseguida le hablaron de ella. 31 Jesús se acercó y, tomándola de la mano, la ayudó a levantarse. Al instante la fiebre se le fue, y ella comenzó a atenderlos.
Muchos sanados al ponerse el sol(O)
32 Al anochecer, cuando el sol se puso, llevaron a Jesús a todos los que estaban enfermos y endemoniados. 33 Toda la ciudad se agolpaba ante la puerta, 34 y Jesús sanó a muchos que sufrían de diversas enfermedades, y también expulsó a muchos demonios, aunque no los dejaba hablar porque lo conocían.
Jesús predica en Galilea(P)
35 Muy de mañana, cuando todavía estaba muy oscuro, Jesús se levantó y se fue a un lugar apartado para orar. 36 Simón y los que estaban con él comenzaron a buscarlo, 37 y cuando lo encontraron le dijeron: «Todos te están buscando.» 38 Él les dijo: «Vayamos a las aldeas vecinas, para que también allí predique, porque para esto he venido.» 39 Y Jesús recorrió toda Galilea; predicaba en las sinagogas y expulsaba demonios.(Q)
Jesús sana a un leproso(R)
40 Un leproso se acercó a Jesús, se arrodilló ante él y le dijo: «Si quieres, puedes limpiarme.» 41 Jesús tuvo compasión de él, así que extendió la mano, lo tocó y le dijo: «Quiero. Ya has quedado limpio.» 42 En cuanto Jesús pronunció estas palabras, la lepra desapareció y aquel hombre quedó limpio. 43 Enseguida Jesús le pidió que se fuera, pero antes le hizo una clara advertencia. 44 Le dijo: «Ten cuidado de no decírselo a nadie. Más bien, ve y preséntate ante el sacerdote, y ofrece por tu purificación lo que Moisés mandó,(S) para que les sirva de testimonio.» 45 Pero una vez que aquel hombre se fue, dio a conocer ampliamente lo sucedido, y de tal manera lo divulgó que Jesús ya no podía entrar abiertamente en ninguna ciudad, sino que se quedaba afuera, en lugares apartados. Pero aun así, de todas partes la gente acudía a él.
