1 ^1:1THE beginning of the good news of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, ^1:2as it is written in Isaiah the prophet; Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who shall prepare your way. ^1:3A voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare the way of the Lord! Make his paths straight.

2 ^1:4John baptized in the wilderness, preaching the baptism of a change of mind for the forgiveness of sins. ^1:5And all the country of Judea and all the people of Jerusalem went out to him and were baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.

3 ^1:6And John was clothed with camel's hairs and a leather girdle about his loins, and he eat locusts and wild honey, ^1:7and preached, saying, After me comes one mightier than I, the strings of whose shoes I am not fit to stoop down and untie; ^1:8I have baptized you with water, but he shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit.

4 ^1:9In those days came Jesus from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized in the Jordan by John; ^1:10and going up immediately out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit descend like a dove upon him; ^1:11and there was a voice from heaven, You are my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased. ^1:12And the Spirit immediately drove him into the wilderness, ^1:13and he was in the wilderness forty days, tempted by Satan, and was with the beasts; and the angels waited on him.

5 ^1:14And after John was delivered up Jesus came into Galilee preaching the good news of God, ^1:15saying, The time is completed, and the kingdom of God is at hand; change your minds and believe in the good news. ^1:16And passing along by the lake of Galilee, he saw Simon, and Andrew, Simon's brother, casting [a net] into the lake, for they were fishermen. ^1:17And Jesus said to them, Come after me, and I will make you fishermen of men. ^1:18And immediately leaving their nets they followed him. ^1:19And proceeding a little further on he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother; and they were in the ship mending the nets; ^1:20and he immediately called them. And leaving their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired men, they went away after him.

6 ^1:21And they entered into Capernaum, and immediately on the sabbath he taught in the synagogues. ^1:22And they were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as having authority, and not as the scribes.

7 ^1:23And immediately there was in their synagogue a man with an impure spirit, and he cried out, ^1:24saying, What have you to do with us, Jesus Nazarene? have you come to destroy us? We know you who you are, the holy [Son] of God! ^1:25And Jesus rebuked him saying, Be still, and come out of him. ^1:26And the impure spirit affecting him with convulsions, and crying with a loud voice, came out of him. ^1:27And all were astonished, so that they inquired among themselves, saying, What is this? a new teaching with authority, and does he command the impure spirits and they obey him? ^1:28And his fame went out immediately into all the country about Galilee.

8 ^1:29And going immediately out of the synagogue, they came into the house of Simon and Andrew with James and John; ^1:30and Simon's mother-in-law was lying with a fever; and immediately they told him of her. ^1:31And coming, he took her by the hand, and raised her up, and the fever immediately left her, and she waited on them.

9 ^1:32And at evening when the sun went down they brought to him all that were sick, and the demoniacs; ^1:33and the whole city was assembled at the door. ^1:34And he healed many that were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons, and suffered not the demons to say that they knew him.

10 ^1:35And in the morning while it was quite dark he arose and went out, and departed to a solitary place, and there prayed. ^1:36And Simon and those with him followed him, ^1:37and said to him, All men seek you. ^1:38And he said to them, Let us go elsewhere to the adjoining villages to preach there; because for this purpose have I come. ^1:39And he preached in their synagogues in all Galilee, and cast out demons.

11 ^1:40And a leper came to him beseeching him, saying to him, If you will, you can cleanse me. ^1:41And having compassion on him, he stretched out his hand and touched him, and said to him, I will; be cleansed. ^1:42And the leprosy immediately left him, and he was cleansed. ^1:43And giving him a strict charge, he immediately sent him away, ^1:44and said to him, See that you say nothing to any one, but go and show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing what Moses commanded, for a testimony to them. ^1:45And going out he spread and published abroad the report, to such an extent that he [Jesus] could no longer go openly into a city, but was without in solitary places; and they came to him from every quarter.
