Mark 1

1 The office of John the Baptist. 9 Jesus is baptized, 12 tempted, 14 he preacheth: 16 calleth Peter, Andrew, James and John: 23 healeth one that had a devil, 29 Peter's mother in law, 32 many diseased persons, 41 and cleanseth the leper.

 1:1 The beginning 746 of the gospel 2098 of Jesus 2424 Christ 5547, the Son 5207 of God 2316.

 1:2 ¶ As it is written 1125 in Isaiah 2268 the prophet 4396: “BEHOLD 2400, I SEND 649 MY MESSENGER 32a AHEAD 4253 OF YOU, WHO 3739 WILL PREPARE 2680 YOUR WAY 3598;

 1:3 THE VOICE 5456 OF ONE CRYING 994 IN THE WILDERNESS 2048, ‘MAKE 2090 READY 2090 THE WAY 3598 OF THE LORD 2962, MAKE 4160 HIS PATHS 5147 STRAIGHT 2117.’”

 1:4 John 2491 the Baptist 907 appeared 1096 in the wilderness 2048 preaching 2784 a baptism 908 of repentance 3341 for the forgiveness 859 of sins 266.

 1:5 And all 3956 the country 5561 of Judea 2453 was going 1607 out to him, and all 3956 the people 2415 of Jerusalem 2415; and they were being baptized 907 by him in the Jordan 2446 River 4215, confessing 1843 their sins 266.

 1:6 John 2491 was clothed 1746a with camel’s 2574 hair 2359 and [wore] a leather 1193 belt 2223 around 4012 his waist 3751, and his diet 2068 was locusts 200 and wild 66 honey 3192.

 1:7 And he was preaching 2784, and saying 3004, “After 3694 me One is coming 2064 who is mightier 2478 than I, and I am 1510 not fit 2425 to stoop 2955 down 2955 and untie 3089 the thong 2438 of His sandals 5266.

 1:8 “I baptized 907 you with water 5204; but He will baptize 907 you with the Holy 40 Spirit 4151.”

 1:9 ¶ In those 1565 days 2250 Jesus 2424 came 2064 from Nazareth 3478 in Galilee 1056 and was baptized 907 by John 2491 in the Jordan 2446.

 1:10 Immediately 2117 coming 305 up out of the water 5204, He saw 3708 the heavens 3772 opening 4977, and the Spirit 4151 like 5613 a dove 4058 descending 2597 upon Him;

 1:11 and a voice 5456 came 1096 out of the heavens 3772: “You are My beloved 27 Son 5207, in You I am 2106 well-pleased 2106.”

 1:12 ¶ Immediately 2117 the Spirit 4151 *impelled 1544a Him [to go] out into the wilderness 2048.

 1:13 And He was in the wilderness 2048 forty 5065b days 2250 being tempted 3985 by Satan 4567; and He was with the wild 2342 beasts 2342, and the angels 32a were ministering 1247 to Him.

 1:14 ¶ Now after 3326 John 2491 had been taken 3860 into custody 3860, Jesus 2424 came 2064 into Galilee 1056, preaching 2784 the gospel 2098 of God 2316,

 1:15 and saying 3004, “The time 2540 is fulfilled 4137, and the kingdom 932 of God 2316 is at hand 1448; repent 3340 and believe 4100 in the gospel 2098.”

 1:16 ¶ As He was going 3855 along 3855 by the Sea 2281 of Galilee 1056, He saw 3708 Simon 4613 and Andrew 406, the brother 80 of Simon 4613, casting 293a a net 293a in the sea 2281; for they were fishermen 231.

 1:17 And Jesus 2424 said 3004 to them, “Follow 1205 3694 Me, and I will make 4160 you become 1096 fishers 231 of men 444.”

 1:18 Immediately 2117 they left 863 their nets 1350 and followed 190 Him.

 1:19 Going 4260 on a little 3641 farther 4260, He saw 3708 James 2385 the son of Zebedee 2199, and John 2491 his brother 80, who 846 were also 2532 in the boat 4143 mending 2675 the nets 1350.

 1:20 Immediately 2117 He called 2564 them; and they left 863 their father 3962 Zebedee 2199 in the boat 4143 with the hired 3411 servants 3411, and went 565 away 565 to follow 3694 Him.

 1:21 ¶ They *went 1531 into Capernaum 2746b; and immediately 2117 on the Sabbath 4521 He entered 1525 the synagogue 4864 and [began] to teach 1321.

 1:22 They were amazed 1605 at His teaching 1322; for He was teaching 1321 them as [one] having 2192 authority 1849, and not as the scribes 1122.

 1:23 Just 2117 then 2117 there was a man 444 in their synagogue 4864 with an unclean 169 spirit 4151; and he cried 349 out,

 1:24 saying 3004, “What 5101 business do we have with each other, Jesus 2424 of Nazareth 3479? Have You come 2064 to destroy 622 us? I know 3609a who 5101 You are—the Holy 40 One 40 of God 2316!”

 1:25 And Jesus 2424 rebuked 2008 him, saying 3004, “Be quiet 5392, and come 1831 out of him!”

 1:26 Throwing 4682 him into convulsions 4682, the unclean 169 spirit 4151 cried 5455 out with a loud 3173 voice 5456 and came 1831 out of him.

 1:27 They were all 537a amazed 2284, so 5620 that they debated 4802 among themselves 846, saying 3004, “What 5101 is this 3778? A new 2537 teaching 1322 with authority 1849! He commands 2004 even 2532 the unclean 169 spirits 4151, and they obey 5219 Him.”

 1:28 Immediately 2117 the news 189 about Him spread 1831 everywhere 3837 into all 3650 the surrounding 4066 district 4066 of Galilee 1056.

 1:29 ¶ And immediately 2117 after they came 2064 out of the synagogue 4864, they came 2064 into the house 3614 of Simon 4613 and Andrew 406, with James 2385 and John 2491.

 1:30 Now 1161 Simon’s 4613 mother-in-law 3994 was lying 2621 sick 2621 with a fever 4445; and immediately 2117 they *spoke 3004 to Jesus about 4012 her.

 1:31 And He came 4334 to her and raised 1453 her up, taking 2902 her by the hand 5495, and the fever 4446 left 863 her, and she waited 1247 on them.

 1:32 ¶ When evening 3798 came 1096, after 3753 the sun 2246 had set 1416, they [began] bringing 5342 to Him all 3956 who were ill 2192 2560 and those 3588 who were demon-possessed 1139.

 1:33 And the whole 3650 city 4172 had gathered 1996 at the door 2374.

 1:34 And He healed 2323 many 4183 who were ill 2192 2560 with various 4164 diseases 3554, and cast 1544b out many 4183 demons 1140; and He was not permitting 863 the demons 1140 to speak 2980, because 3754 they knew 3609a who He was.

 1:35 ¶ In the early 4404 morning 4404, while 1773 it was still 3029 dark 1773, Jesus got 450 up, left 565 [the house], and went 565 away 565 to a secluded 2048 place 5117, and was praying 4336 there 2546.

 1:36 Simon 4613 and his companions 3588 3326 searched 2614 for Him;

 1:37 they found 2147 Him, and *said 3004 to Him, “Everyone 3956 is looking 2212 for You.”

 1:38 He *said 3004 to them, “Let us go 71 somewhere 237b else 237b to the towns 2969 nearby 2192, so 2443 that I may preach 2784 there 1563 also 2532; for that is what I came 1831 for.”

 1:39 And He went 2064 into their synagogues 4864 throughout 1519 all 3650 Galilee 1056, preaching 2784 and casting 1544b out the demons 1140.

 1:40 ¶ And a leper 3015 *came 2064 to Jesus, beseeching 3870 Him and falling 1120 on his knees 1120 before 1120 Him, and saying 3004, “If 1437 You are willing 2309, You can 1410 make 2511 me clean 2511.”

 1:41 Moved 4697 with compassion 4697, Jesus stretched 1614 out His hand 5495 and touched 681 him, and *said 3004 to him, “I am 2309 willing 2309; be cleansed 2511.”

 1:42 Immediately 2117 the leprosy 3014 left 565 him and he was cleansed 2511.

 1:43 And He sternly 1690 warned 1690 him and immediately 2117 sent 1544b him away 1544b,

 1:44 and He *said 3004 to him, “See 3708 that you say 3004 nothing 3367 to anyone 3367; but go 5217, show 1166 yourself 4572 to the priest 2409 and offer 4374 for your cleansing 2512 what 3739 Moses 3475 commanded 4367, as a testimony 3142 to them.”

 1:45 But he went 1831 out and began 757 to proclaim 2784 it freely 4183 and to spread 1310 the news 3056 around 1310, to such 5620 an extent 5620 that Jesus could 1410 no 3371 longer 3371 publicly 5320 enter 1525 a city 4172, but stayed 1510 out in unpopulated 2048 areas 5117; and they were coming 2064 to Him from everywhere 3840.
