The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. |
2
|
As it is written in Isaiah the prophet, "Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way, |
3
|
the voice of one crying in the wilderness: Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight." |
4
|
John appeared, baptizing in the wilderness and proclaiming a baptism of repentance 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, confessing their sins. |
6
|
Now John was clothed with camel's hair and wore a leather belt around his waist and ate locusts and wild honey. |
7
|
And he preached, saying, "After me comes he who is mightier than I, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie. |
8
|
I have baptized you with water, but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit." |
9
|
In those days Jesus 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 saw the heavens opening and the Spirit descending on him like a dove. |
11
|
And a voice came from heaven, "You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased." |
12
|
The Spirit immediately drove him out into the wilderness. |
13
|
And he was in the wilderness forty days, being tempted by Satan. And he was with the wild animals, and the angels were ministering to him. |
14
|
Now after John was arrested, Jesus came into Galilee, proclaiming the gospel 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 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 fishers of men." |
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. |
21
|
And they went into Capernaum, and immediately on the Sabbath he entered the synagogue and was teaching. |
22
|
And they were astonished at his teaching, 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
|
"What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are- the Holy One of God." |
25
|
But Jesus rebuked him, saying, "Be silent, and come out of him!" |
26
|
And the unclean spirit, convulsing him and crying out with a loud voice, came out of him. |
27
|
And they were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, "What is this? 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. |
29
|
And immediately he left the synagogue and entered the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. |
30
|
Now Simon's mother-in-law lay ill with a fever, and immediately they told him about her. |
31
|
And he came and 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 oppressed by demons. |
33
|
And the whole city was gathered together at the door. |
34
|
And he healed many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons. And he would not permit the demons to speak, because they knew him. |
35
|
And rising very early in the morning, while it was still dark, he departed and went out to a desolate place, and there he prayed. |
36
|
And Simon and those who were with him searched for him, |
37
|
and they found him and said to him, "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 that is why I came out." |
39
|
And he went throughout all Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and casting out demons. |
40
|
And a leper came to him, imploring him, and kneeling said to him, "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 Jesus sternly charged him and sent him away at once, |
44
|
and said to him, "See that you say nothing to anyone, but go, show yourself to the priest and offer for your cleansing what Moses commanded, for a proof to them." |
45
|
But he went out and began to talk freely about it, and to spread the news, so that Jesus could no longer openly enter a town, but was out in desolate places, and people were coming to him from every quarter. |
