Beginning

1 The beginning archē of the ho gospel euangelion of Jesus Iēsous Christ Christos, the Son hyios of God theos.

² As kathōs it is written graphō in en · ho Isaiah ēsaias the ho prophet prophētēs, “ Behold idou, I am sending apostellō · ho my egō messenger angelos before pro your sy face prosōpon, who hos will prepare kataskeuazō · ho your sy way hodos, ³ a voice phōnē calling boaō out in en the ho wilderness erēmos: ‘ Prepare hetoimazō the ho way hodos of the Lord kyrios, make poieō · ho his autos paths tribos straight.’” ⁴ John Iōannēs the ho baptizer baptizō appeared ginomai in en the ho wilderness erēmos and kai began preaching kēryssō a baptism baptisma of repentance metanoia for eis the forgiveness aphesis of sins hamartia. ⁵ And kai all pas the ho Judean Ioudaia countryside chōra and kai all pas · ho Jerusalem Hierosolymitēs were going out ekporeuomai to pros him autos and kai were being baptized baptizō by hypo him autos in en the ho Jordan Iordanēs river potamos, confessing exomologeomai · ho their autos sins hamartia. ⁶ Now kai John Iōannēs was eimi · ho clothed endyō with camel’ s kamēlos hair thrix with kai a leather dermatinos belt zōnē around peri · ho his autos waist osphys, and kai he fed esthiō on locusts akris and kai wild agrios honey meli. ⁷ And kai he was proclaiming kēryssō, saying legō, “ The ho one who is more powerful ischuros than I egō is coming erchomai after opisō me egō; of whom hos I am eimi not ou worthy hikanos to stoop kyptō down and untie lyō the ho thong himas of ho his autos sandals hypodēma. ⁸ I egō baptize baptizō you hymeis with water hydōr, but de he autos will baptize baptizō you hymeis with en the Holy hagios Spirit pneuma.”

⁹ Now kai ginomai in en those ekeinos · ho days hēmera Jesus Iēsous came erchomai from apo Nazareth Nazaret of ho Galilee Galilaia and kai was baptized baptizō in eis the ho Jordan Iordanēs River by hypo John Iōannēs. ¹⁰ And kai just as he was coming anabainō up out ek of the ho water hydōr, he saw the ho heavens ouranos opening up schizō and kai the ho Spirit pneuma as hōs a dove peristera descending katabainō on eis him autos. ¹¹ Then kai a voice phōnē came ginomai from ek · ho heaven ouranos, “ You sy are eimi · ho my egō beloved agapētos Son hyios; · ho in en you sy I take delight eudokeō.” ¹² · kai At once the ho Spirit pneuma drove ekballō him autos out into eis the ho wilderness erēmos, ¹³ and kai he was eimi in en the ho wilderness erēmos for forty tesserakonta days hēmera, being tempted peirazō by hypo · ho Satan Satanas. · kai He was eimi there with meta the ho wild beasts thērion, and kai the ho angels angelos were ministering diakoneō to him autos.

¹⁴ Now de after meta · ho John Iōannēs had been taken into custody paradidōmi, · ho Jesus Iēsous went erchomai · ho into eis · ho Galilee Galilaia, proclaiming kēryssō the ho gospel euangelion of ho God theos, ¹⁵ and kai saying legō, “ The ho time kairos is fulfilled plēroō and kai the ho kingdom basileia of ho God theos is at hand engizō; repent metanoeō and kai believe pisteuō in en the ho gospel euangelion.” ¹⁶ · kai As Jesus was going paragō alongside para the ho Sea thalassa of ho Galilee Galilaia, he saw Simon Simōn and kai Andrew Andreas, the ho brother adelphos of Simon Simōn, casting amphiballō a net into en the ho lake thalassa, for gar they were eimi fishermen halieus. ¹⁷ And kai Jesus Iēsous said legō to them autos, · ho “ Come deute, follow opisō me egō, and kai I will make poieō you hymeis become ginomai fishers halieus of men anthrōpos.” ¹⁸ And kai immediately they left aphiēmi their ho nets diktyon and followed akoloutheō him autos. ¹⁹ And kai going probainō on a little oligos farther , he saw James Iakōbos the ho son of ho Zebedee Zebedaios and kai John Iōannēs · ho his autos brother adelphos, who autos also kai were in en their ho boat ploion mending katartizō · ho nets diktyon. ²⁰ And kai immediately he called kaleō them autos, and kai they left aphiēmi · ho their autos father patēr Zebedee Zebedaios in en the ho boat ploion with meta the ho hired misthōtos men and followed aperchomai him autos.

²¹ Then kai they went eisporeuomai to eis Capernaum Kapharnaoum; and kai on the ho next Sabbath sabbaton Jesus went eiserchomai into eis the ho synagogue synagōgē and began to teach didaskō. ²² And kai they were astonished ekplēssō at epi · ho his autos teaching didachē, for gar he was eimi teaching didaskō them autos as hōs one having echō authority exousia, and kai not ou as hōs their ho scribes grammateus. ²³ · kai Suddenly there was eimi in en · ho their autos synagogue synagōgē a man anthrōpos with en an unclean akathartos spirit pneuma, and kai he cried anakrazō out , ²⁴ saying legō, “ What tis · kai do you sy have to do with us hēmeis, Jesus Iēsous of Nazareth Nazarēnos? Have you come erchomai to destroy apollymi us hēmeis? I know oida who tis you are eimi— the ho Holy hagios One of ho God theos!” ²⁵ But kai Jesus Iēsous rebuked epitimaō it autos, · ho saying legō, “ Be quiet phimoō and kai come exerchomai out of ek him autos!” ²⁶ Then kai the ho unclean akathartos spirit pneuma threw sparassō the man autos into convulsions, · ho · kai cried phōneō out with a loud megas voice phōnē, and came exerchomai out of ek him autos. ²⁷ · kai All hapas the people were amazed thambeō, so hōste that they asked syzēteō among pros themselves heautou, saying legō, “ What tis is eimi this houtos? A new kainos teaching didachē with kata authority exousia! He epitassō even kai gives orders epitassō to ho unclean akathartos spirits pneuma · ho and kai they obey hypakouō him autos.” ²⁸ And kai his autos fame akoē spread exerchomai · ho quickly everywhere pantachou throughout eis all holos the ho country perichōros round about · ho Galilee Galilaia. ²⁹ · kai As soon as they went exerchomai out of ek the ho synagogue synagōgē they went erchomai to eis the ho house oikia of Simon Simōn and kai Andrew Andreas, with meta James Iakōbos and kai John Iōannēs. ³⁰ Now de the ho mother-in-law penthera of Simon Simōn lay katakeimai sick pyressō with a fever , and kai without delay they spoke legō to Jesus autos about peri her autos. ³¹ So kai he came proserchomai and raised egeirō her autos up , taking krateō her by the ho hand cheir. Then kai the ho fever pyretos left aphiēmi her autos, and kai she began to wait diakoneō on them autos.

³² When evening opsia · de came ginomai, after hote the ho sun hēlios had gone down dynō, people were bringing pherō to pros him autos all pas who ho were echō sick kakōs as kai well as the ho demon-possessed daimonizomai. ³³ And kai the ho entire holos city polis was eimi gathered episynagō together at pros the ho door thura. ³⁴ So kai he healed therapeuō many polys who were echō sick kakōs with various poikilos diseases nosos, and kai drove out ekballō many polys demons daimonion. But kai he would not ou permit aphiēmi the ho demons daimonion to speak laleō, because hoti they knew oida him autos. ³⁵ · kai Very lian early in the morning prōi, while it was still dark ennychos, Jesus arose anistēmi, left exerchomai the house and kai went aperchomai out to eis a deserted erēmos place topos; and kai there he spent time in prayer proseuchomai. ³⁶ And kai Simon Simōn and kai those ho who were with meta him autos searched for katadiōkō him autos, ³⁷ · kai found heuriskō him autos, and kai said legō to him autos, “ Everyone pas is looking zēteō for you sy.” ³⁸ And kai he said legō to them autos, “ Let us go agō elsewhere allachou, into eis the ho nearby echō towns kōmopolis, so hina that I may preach kēryssō there ekei also kai, because gar that houtos is what I came exerchomai to eis do.” ³⁹ So kai he traveled erchomai throughout eis all holos Galilee Galilaia, preaching kēryssō in eis · ho their autos synagogues synagōgē · ho and kai driving out ekballō · ho demons daimonion.

⁴⁰ And kai a leper lepros came erchomai to pros him autos, pleading parakaleō for help from him autos, and kai falling gonypeteō on his knees · kai he exclaimed legō to him autos, “ If ean you are willing thelō, you can dynamai make me egō clean katharizō!” ⁴¹ · kai Moved splanchnizomai with compassion , Jesus stretched ekteinō out · ho his autos hand cheir and touched haptō him, · kai saying legō to him autos, “ I am willing thelō; be made clean katharizō.” ⁴² And kai at once the ho leprosy lepra left aperchomai him autos and kai he was cleansed katharizō. ⁴³ And kai after sternly warning embrimaomai him autos, Jesus sent ekballō him autos away at once, ⁴⁴ and kai said legō to him autos, “ See horaō that you say legō nothing to anyone mēdeis, but alla go hypagō, show deiknymi yourself seautou to the ho priest hiereus, and kai offer prospherō for peri · ho your sy cleansing katharismos what hos Moses Mōysēs commanded prostassō, as eis a testimony martyrion to them autos.”

⁴⁵ However de, he ho went exerchomai out and began archō to announce kēryssō it publicly polys and kai spread diaphēmizō abroad the ho news logos, so hōste that Jesus autos could dynamai no longer mēketi openly phanerōs enter eiserchomai a town polis, but alla stayed eimi out exō in epi unpopulated erēmos areas topos. Yet kai people kept coming erchomai to pros him autos from every pantothen quarter .

2 And kai when , after dia several days hēmera, Jesus had returned eiserchomai to eis Capernaum Kapharnaoum, it was reported akouō that hoti he was eimi at en home oikos. ² · kai Many polys people gathered synagō so hōste that there was no mēketi longer any room chōreō, not mēde even · ho at pros the ho entrance thura; and kai he began speaking laleō the ho word logos to them autos. ³ And kai some men came erchomai, bringing pherō to pros him autos a paralytic paralytikos carried airō by hypo four tessares of them. ⁴ · kai When they were not mē able dynamai to carry prospherō him autos in because dia of the ho crowd ochlos, they broke apostegazō through the ho roof stegē above hopou Jesus eimi, and kai when they had dug exoryssō out an opening , they lowered chalaō the ho mat krabattos on which hopou the ho paralytic paralytikos was lying katakeimai. ⁵ · kai When Jesus Iēsous saw · ho · ho their autos faith pistis, he said legō to the ho paralytic paralytikos, “My son teknon, your sy · ho sins hamartia are forgiven aphiēmi.” ⁶ Now de some tis of the ho scribes grammateus were eimi sitting kathēmai there ekei, · kai reasoning dialogizomai in en · ho their autos hearts kardia, ⁷ “ Why tis does this houtos man speak laleō like that houtōs? It is blasphemy blasphēmeō! Who tis can dynamai forgive aphiēmi sins hamartia except ei mē the ho One heis God theos?” ⁸ And kai Jesus Iēsous, knowing epiginōskō immediately · ho in ho his autos spirit pneuma that hoti they were reasoning dialogizomai in that way houtōs within en themselves heautou, said legō to them autos, “ Why tis are you contemplating dialogizomai these things houtos in en · ho your hymeis hearts kardia? ⁹ Which tis is eimi easier eukopos, to say legō to the ho paralytic paralytikos, ‘ Your sy · ho sins hamartia are forgiven aphiēmi,’ or ē to say legō, ‘ Get egeirō up , · kai pick airō up · ho your sy mat krabattos, and kai walk peripateō’? ¹⁰ But de so that hina you may know oida that hoti the ho Son hyios of ho Man anthrōpos has echō authority exousia on epi the ho earth gē to forgive aphiēmi sins hamartia”— he said legō to the ho paralytic paralytikos, ¹¹ “ I say legō to you sy, get egeirō up , pick airō up · ho your sy mat krabattos, and kai go hypagō to eis · ho your sy home oikos.” ¹² And kai · kai immediately the man got up egeirō, picked airō up his ho mat krabattos, and went exerchomai out in full view emprosthen of them all pas, so hōste they were all pas amazed existēmi and kai praised doxazō · ho God theos, saying legō, “We have never oudepote seen anything like this houtōs!” ¹³ · kai Once again palin Jesus went exerchomai out alongside para the ho lake thalassa. · kai A large pas · ho crowd ochlos was coming erchomai to pros him autos, and kai he was teaching didaskō them autos. ¹⁴ · kai As he was walking paragō along , he saw Levi Leui, the ho son of ho Alphaeus Halphaios, sitting kathēmai at epi the ho tax telōnion booth , and kai he said legō to him autos, “ Follow akoloutheō me egō.” So kai Levi got anistēmi up and followed akoloutheō him autos.

¹⁵ And kai as he autos reclined katakeimai at table in en · ho Levi’ s autos house oikia, · kai many polys tax telōnēs collectors and kai sinners hamartōlos were reclining synanakeimai with ho Jesus Iēsous and kai · ho his autos disciples mathētēs, for gar there were eimi many polys · kai who followed akoloutheō him autos. ¹⁶ And kai the ho scribes grammateus of the ho Pharisees Pharisaios, when they saw that hoti he was eating esthiō with meta · ho sinners hamartōlos and kai tax telōnēs collectors , said legō to ho his autos disciples mathētēs, “Why is he eating esthiō with meta · ho tax telōnēs collectors and kai sinners hamartōlos?” ¹⁷ · kai When Jesus Iēsous heard akouō · ho this he said legō to them autos, “ Those ho who are in good health ischuō have echō no ou need chreia of a doctor iatros, but alla those ho who are echō physically ill kakōs. I have not ou come erchomai to call kaleō the pious dikaios, but alla sinners hamartōlos, to repentance.”

¹⁸ · kai The ho disciples mathētēs of John Iōannēs and kai of the ho Pharisees Pharisaios were eimi fasting nēsteuō. · kai Some people came erchomai and kai said legō to him autos, “ Why dia tis do the ho disciples mathētēs of John Iōannēs and kai the ho disciples mathētēs of the ho Pharisees Pharisaios fast nēsteuō, · ho but de your sos disciples mathētēs do not ou fast nēsteuō?” ¹⁹ And kai Jesus Iēsous said legō to them autos, · ho “ Do dynamai the ho friends hyios of the ho bridegroom nymphōn fast nēsteuō while en hos the ho bridegroom nymphios is eimi with meta them autos? No mē, as long as hosos they have echō the ho bridegroom nymphios with meta them autos, they do dynamai not ou fast nēsteuō. ²⁰ But de days hēmera will come erchomai when hotan the ho bridegroom nymphios will be taken apairō from apo them autos, and kai then tote they will fast nēsteuō in en that ekeinos · ho day hēmera.

²¹ “ No one oudeis sews epiraptō a piece epiblēma of unshrunk agnaphos cloth rhakos on epi an old palaios garment himation. If he does ei, · de the ho patch plērōma pulls away airō from apo it autos, the ho new kainos from the ho old palaios, and kai the tear schisma becomes ginomai worse cheirōn. ²² And kai no one oudeis puts ballō new neos wine oinos into eis old palaios wineskins askos. If he does ei, · de the ho wine oinos will burst rhēgnymi the ho skins askos and kai the ho wine oinos will be wasted apollymi as kai well as the ho skins askos. But alla new neos wine oinos is poured into eis fresh kainos wineskins askos.” ²³ · kai It happened ginomai that on en the ho Sabbath sabbaton Jesus autos was going paraporeuomai through dia the ho grainfields sporimos, and kai · ho his autos disciples mathētēs began archō to make poieō their way hodos along, plucking tillō · ho heads stachus of grain . ²⁴ So kai the ho Pharisees Pharisaios said legō to him autos, “ Look ide, why tis are they doing poieō what hos is not ou lawful on the ho Sabbath sabbaton?” ²⁵ · kai He said legō to them autos, “ Have you never oudepote read anaginōskō what tis David Dauid did poieō when hote he was echō in need chreia and kai became hungry peinaō, he autos and kai those ho who were with meta him autos? ²⁶ How pōs he went eiserchomai into eis the ho house oikos of ho God theos when epi Abiathar Abiathar was high priest archiereus and kai ate esthiō the ho sacred prothesis bread artos, · ho which hos is not ou lawful to eat esthiō, except ei mē for the ho priests hiereus, and kai he also kai gave didōmi it to those ho who were eimi with syn him autos?” ²⁷ And kai he said legō to them autos, “ The ho Sabbath sabbaton was made ginomai for dia · ho man anthrōpos, · kai not ou · ho man anthrōpos for dia the ho Sabbath sabbaton. ²⁸ So hōste the ho Son hyios of ho Man anthrōpos is eimi lord kyrios even kai of the ho Sabbath sabbaton.”

3 · kai Jesus entered eiserchomai again palin into eis a ho synagogue synagōgē, and kai a man anthrōpos with echō a withered xērainō · ho hand cheir was eimi there ekei. ² And kai they were watching paratēreō him autos carefully to see if ei he would heal therapeuō him autos on the ho Sabbath sabbaton, so hina they could accuse katēgoreō him autos. ³ And kai he said legō to the ho man anthrōpos who ho had echō the ho withered xēros hand cheir, “ Get egeirō up and step eis · ho forward mesos.” ⁴ And kai he said legō to them autos, “Is it lawful on the ho Sabbath sabbaton to do poieō good agathos or ē to do evil kakopoieō, to save sōzō life psychē or ē to destroy apokteinō it?” But de they ho remained silent siōpaō. ⁵ And kai after looking periblepō around at them autos in meta anger orgē, grieved syllypeō at epi the ho hardness pōrōsis of ho their autos heart kardia, he said legō to the ho man anthrōpos, “ Stretch ekteinō out your ho hand cheir.” And kai he stretched ekteinō out his autos hand cheir and kai it was restored apokathistēmi. · ho ⁶ So kai the ho Pharisees Pharisaios went exerchomai out immediately and began didōmi plotting symboulion with meta · ho Herodians hērōidianoi against kata him autos, as to how hopōs they might do apollymi away with him autos.

⁷ But kai · ho Jesus Iēsous withdrew anachōreō with meta · ho his autos disciples mathētēs to pros the ho lake thalassa, and kai there followed akoloutheō a large polys crowd plēthos from apo · ho Galilee Galilaia and kai from apo · ho Judea Ioudaia, ⁸ and kai from apo Jerusalem Hierosolyma, and kai from apo · ho Idumea Idoumaia and kai beyond peran the ho Jordan Iordanēs and kai around peri Tyre Tyros and kai Sidon Sidōn a large polys crowd plēthos came erchomai to pros him autos when they heard akouō about the things hosos he had done poieō. ⁹ And kai he told legō · ho his autos disciples mathētēs to hina make ready proskartereō a small ploiarion boat for him autos because dia of the ho crowd ochlos, so hina that they would not mē crush thlibō him autos. ¹⁰ For gar he had healed therapeuō many polys, so hōste that all who hosos had echō diseases mastix were pressing epipiptō around him autos so hina they could touch haptō him autos. ¹¹ And kai the ho unclean akathartos spirits pneuma, · ho whenever hotan they saw theōreō him autos, fell prospiptō down before him autos and kai cried krazō out , saying legō, “ You sy are eimi the ho Son hyios of ho God theos!” ¹² But kai he warned epitimaō them autos repeatedly polys not mē to make poieō him autos known phaneros.

¹³ And kai he went anabainō up into eis the ho mountain oros and kai called proskaleō those hos whom he himself autos wanted thelō, and kai they came aperchomai to pros him autos. ¹⁴ And kai he appointed poieō twelve dōdeka ( whom hos he onomazō also kai named onomazō apostles apostolos) so hina that they might be eimi with meta him autos and kai so hina that he might send apostellō them autos out to preach kēryssō ¹⁵ and kai have echō authority exousia to drive ekballō out · ho demons daimonion. ¹⁶ · kai He appointed poieō the ho twelve dōdeka: · kai Peter Petros (the name onoma he gave epitithēmi to ho Simon Simōn); ¹⁷ · kai James Iakōbos the ho son of ho Zebedee Zebedaios, · kai John Iōannēs the ho brother adelphos of ho James Iakōbos · kai ( he gave epitithēmi to them autos the name onoma Boanerges Boanērges, that hos is eimi, Sons hyios of Thunder brontē); ¹⁸ · kai Andrew Andreas, · kai Philip Philippos, · kai Bartholomew Bartholomaios, · kai Matthew, · kai Thomas Thōmas, · kai James Iakōbos the ho son of ho Alphaeus Halphaios, · kai Thaddaeus Thaddaios, · kai Simon Simōn the ho Canaanite Kananaios; ¹⁹ and kai Judas Ioudas Iscariot Iskariōth, who hos betrayed paradidōmi him autos.

²⁰ Then kai Jesus went erchomai to eis his house oikos, and kai again palin a crowd ochlos gathered synerchomai, so hōste that they autos were not mē even mēde able dynamai to eat esthiō a meal artos. ²¹ And kai when his autos family ho heard akouō this, they went exerchomai out to take charge krateō of him autos, for gar people were saying legō, “ He is out of his mind existēmi.” ²² And kai the ho scribes grammateus who ho came down katabainō from apo Jerusalem Hierosolyma were saying legō, “ He has echō Beelzebul Beelzeboul in him,” and kai “ By en the ho prince archōn of ho demons daimonion he drives ekballō out · ho demons daimonion.” ²³ So kai he called proskaleō them autos together and began speaking legō to them autos in en parables parabolē: “ How pōs can dynamai Satan Satanas drive out ekballō Satan Satanas? ²⁴ · kai If ean a kingdom basileia is divided merizō against epi itself heautou, that ekeinos kingdom basileia cannot ou dynamai stand histēmi. · ho ²⁵ And kai if ean a house oikia is divided merizō against epi itself heautou, that ekeinos house oikia cannot ou dynamai · ho stand histēmi. ²⁶ And kai if ei · ho Satan Satanas rises anistēmi against epi himself heautou and kai is divided merizō, he cannot ou stand histēmi but alla is coming to echō an end telos. ²⁷ But alla no one oudeis can dynamai enter eiserchomai the ho house oikia of the ho strong ischuros man and carry off diarpazō · ho his autos possessions skeuos unless ean mē first prōton he ties up deō the ho strong ischuros man ; · kai then tote he can rob diarpazō · ho his autos house oikia.
