| Mark 1:1 |
The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, |
| Mark 1:2 |
Even as it is written in Isaiah the prophet: "Behold, I send My messenger before Your face, who will prepare Your way, |
| Mark 1:3 |
A voice of one crying in the wilderness: Prepare the way of the Lord; make straight His paths." |
| Mark 1:4 |
John came baptizing in the wilderness and preaching a baptism of repentance for forgiveness of sins. |
| Mark 1:5 |
And all the region of Judea went out to him, and all the [people] of Jerusalem; and they were baptized by him in the Jordan River, as they confessed their sins. |
| Mark 1:6 |
And John was clothed in camel's hair and [had] a leather girdle around his loins, and he ate locusts and wild honey. |
| Mark 1:7 |
And he preached, saying, He who is stronger than I comes after me, the thong of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie. |
| Mark 1:8 |
I have baptized you in water, but He Himself will baptize you in the Holy Spirit. |
| Mark 1:9 |
And in those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized in the Jordan by John. |
| Mark 1:10 |
And immediately, coming up out of the water, He saw the heavens being parted and the Spirit as a dove descending upon Him. |
| Mark 1:11 |
And a voice came out of the heavens: You are My Son, the Beloved; in You I have found My delight. |
| Mark 1:12 |
And immediately the Spirit thrust Him out into the wilderness. |
| Mark 1:13 |
And He was in the wilderness forty days, being tempted by Satan; and He was with the wild animals, and the angels ministered to Him. |
| Mark 1:14 |
And after John was delivered up, Jesus came into Galilee, proclaiming the gospel of God, |
| Mark 1:15 |
And saying, The time is fulfilled and the kingdom of God has drawn near. Repent and believe in the gospel. |
| Mark 1:16 |
And passing beside the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew, Simon's brother, casting a net in the sea, for they were fishermen. |
| Mark 1:17 |
And Jesus said to them, Come after Me, and I will cause you to become fishers of men. |
| Mark 1:18 |
And immediately leaving the nets, they followed Him. |
| Mark 1:19 |
And going on a little, He saw James the [son] of Zebedee and John his brother, who also [were] in their boat, mending the nets. |
| Mark 1:20 |
And immediately He called them, and leaving their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, they went after Him. |
| Mark 1:21 |
And they went into Capernaum, and immediately, on the Sabbath, He entered into the synagogue and taught. |
| Mark 1:22 |
And they were astounded at His teaching, for He taught them as One having authority and not like the scribes. |
| Mark 1:23 |
And immediately, there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit, and he cried out, saying, |
| Mark 1:24 |
What have we to do with You, Jesus, Nazarene? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are--the Holy One of God. |
| Mark 1:25 |
And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Be quiet and come out of him! |
| Mark 1:26 |
And the unclean spirit, convulsing him and shouting with a loud voice, came out of him. |
| Mark 1:27 |
And they were all amazed, so that they discussed among themselves, saying, What is this? A new teaching! With authority He orders even the unclean spirits, and they obey Him. |
| Mark 1:28 |
And immediately the report concerning Him went out everywhere into all the surrounding region of Galilee. |
| Mark 1:29 |
And immediately, going out of the synagogue, they came into the house of Simon and Andrew with James and John. |
| Mark 1:30 |
And Simon's mother-in-law was lying down with a fever, and immediately they told Him about her. |
| Mark 1:31 |
And He came to [her] and raised her up, holding her hand, and the fever left her, and she served them. |
| Mark 1:32 |
And when evening fell and the sun had set, they brought to Him all those who were ill and those who were demon-possessed. |
| Mark 1:33 |
And the whole city was gathered together at the door. |
| Mark 1:34 |
And He healed many who were ill with various diseases, and He cast out many demons and did not allow the demons to speak, because they knew Him. |
| Mark 1:35 |
And rising very early in the morning, [while it was still] night, He went out and went away to a deserted place, and there He prayed. |
| Mark 1:36 |
And Simon and those with him hunted for Him, |
| Mark 1:37 |
And they found Him and said to Him, All are seeking You. |
| Mark 1:38 |
And He said to them, Let us go elsewhere into the nearby towns that I may preach there also, because for this [purpose] I came out. |
| Mark 1:39 |
And He went preaching in their synagogues in the whole of Galilee and casting out the demons. |
| Mark 1:40 |
And a leper came to Him, entreating Him and falling on his knees and saying to Him, If You are willing, You can cleanse me. |
| Mark 1:41 |
And He was moved with compassion, and stretching out His hand, He touched him and said to him, I am willing; be cleansed! |
| Mark 1:42 |
And immediately the leprosy left him, and he was cleansed. |
| Mark 1:43 |
And sternly charging him, immediately He thrust him out, |
| Mark 1:44 |
And said to him, See that you say nothing to anyone; but go, show yourself to the priest and offer for your cleansing the things which Moses commanded, for a testimony to them. |
| Mark 1:45 |
But he went out and began to proclaim [it] much and to spread the matter abroad, so that He could no longer enter openly into a city, but He stayed outside in deserted places. And they came to Him from everywhere. |
