| 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 your face, Who will prepare your way before you. |
| 3. | The voice of one crying in the wilderness, 'Make ready the way of the Lord, Make his paths straight.'" |
| 4. | John came baptizing in the wilderness and preaching the baptism of repentance for forgiveness of sins. |
| 5. | There went out to him all the country of Judea, and all those of Jerusalem. They were baptized by him in the Jordan river, confessing their sins. |
| 6. | John was clothed with camel's hair and a leather belt around his loins. He ate locusts and wild honey. |
| 7. | He preached, saying, "After me comes he who is mightier than I, the thong of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and loosen. |
| 8. | I baptized you in water, but he will baptize you in the Holy Spirit." |
| 9. | It happened in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John in the Jordan. |
| 10. | Immediately coming up from the water, he saw the heavens parting, and the Spirit descending on him like a dove. |
| 11. | A voice came out of the sky, "You are my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." |
| 12. | Immediately the Spirit drove him out into the wilderness. |
| 13. | He was there in the wilderness forty days tempted by Satan. He was with the wild animals. The angels ministered to him. |
| 14. | Now after John was taken into custody, 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, and believe in the gospel." |
| 16. | Passing along by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew, the brother of Simon, casting a net in the sea, for they were fishermen. |
| 17. | Jesus said to them, "Come after me, and I will make you into fishers for men." |
| 18. | Immediately they left their nets, and followed him. |
| 19. | Going on a little further from there, he saw James, the son of Zebedee, and John, his brother, who also were in the boat mending the nets. |
| 20. | Immediately he called them, and they left their father, Zebedee, in the boat with the hired servants, and went after him. |
| 21. | They went into Capernaum, and immediately on the Sabbath day he entered into the synagogue and taught. |
| 22. | They were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as having authority, and not as the scribes. |
| 23. | Immediately there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit, and he cried out, |
| 24. | saying, "Ha! What do we have to do with you, Jesus, you Nazarene? Have you come to destroy us? I know you who you are: the Holy One of God." |
| 25. | Jesus rebuked him, saying, "Be quiet, and come out of him!" |
| 26. | The unclean spirit, convulsing him and crying with a loud voice, came out of him. |
| 27. | They were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, "What is this? A new teaching? For with authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him." |
| 28. | The report of him went out immediately everywhere into all the region of Galilee and its surrounding area. |
| 29. | Immediately, when they had come out of the synagogue, they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. |
| 30. | Now Simon's wife's mother lay sick with a fever, and immediately they told him about her. |
| 31. | He came and took her by the hand, and raised her up. The fever left her, and she served them. |
| 32. | At evening, when the sun had set, they brought to him all who were sick, and those who were possessed with demons. |
| 33. | All the city was gathered together at the door. |
| 34. | He healed many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons. He didn't allow the demons to speak, because they knew him. |
| 35. | Early in the night, he rose up and went out, and departed into a desert place, and there prayed. |
| 36. | Simon and those who were with him followed after him; |
| 37. | and they found him, and told him, "All are seeking you." |
| 38. | He said to them, "Let's go elsewhere into the next towns, that I may preach there also, for to this end I came forth." |
| 39. | He went into their synagogues throughout all Galilee, preaching and casting out demons. |
| 40. | There came to him a leper, begging him, kneeling down to him, and saying to him, "If you want to, you can make me clean." |
| 41. | Being moved with compassion, he stretched forth his hand, and touched him, and said to him, "I want to. Be made clean." |
| 42. | When he had said this, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was made clean. |
| 43. | He strictly charged him, and immediately sent him out, |
| 44. | and said to him, "See you say nothing to anybody, but go show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing the things which Moses commanded, for a testimony to them." |
| 45. | But he went out, and began to proclaim it much, and to spread about the matter, so that Jesus could no more openly enter into a city, but was outside in desert places: and they came to him from everywhere. |
