Mk 1:1The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God,
Mk 1:2Even as it is written in Isaiah the prophet: “Behold, I send My messenger before Your face, who will prepare Your way,
Mk 1:3A voice of one crying in the wilderness: Prepare the way of the Lord; make straight His paths.”
Mk 1:4John came baptizing in the wilderness and preaching a baptism of repentance for forgiveness of sins.
Mk 1:5And 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.
Mk 1:6And John was clothed in camel’s hair and had a leather girdle around his loins, and he ate locusts and wild honey.
Mk 1:7And 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.
Mk 1:8I have baptized you in water, but He Himself will baptize you in the Holy Spirit.
Mk 1:9And in those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized in the Jordan by John.
Mk 1:10And immediately, coming up out of the water, He saw the heavens being parted and the Spirit as a dove descending upon Him.
Mk 1:11And a voice came out of the heavens: You are My Son, the Beloved; in You I have found My delight.
Mk 1:12And immediately the Spirit thrust Him out into the wilderness.
Mk 1:13And He was in the wilderness forty days, being tempted by Satan; and He was with the wild animals, and the angels ministered to Him.
Mk 1:14And after John was delivered up, Jesus came into Galilee, proclaiming the gospel of God,
Mk 1:15And saying, The time is fulfilled and the kingdom of God has drawn near. Repent and believe in the gospel.
Mk 1:16And passing beside the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew, Simon’s brother, casting a net in the sea, for they were fishermen.
Mk 1:17And Jesus said to them, Come after Me, and I will cause you to become fishers of men.
Mk 1:18And immediately leaving the nets, they followed Him.
Mk 1:19And going on a little, He saw James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, who also were in their boat, mending the nets.
Mk 1:20And immediately He called them, and leaving their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, they went after Him.
Mk 1:21And they went into Capernaum, and immediately, on the Sabbath, He entered into the synagogue and taught.
Mk 1:22And they were astounded at His teaching, for He taught them as One having authority and not like the scribes.
Mk 1:23And immediately, there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit, and he cried out, saying,
Mk 1:24What have we to do with You, Jesus, Nazarene? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are — the Holy One of God.
Mk 1:25And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Be quiet and come out of him!
Mk 1:26And the unclean spirit, convulsing him and shouting with a loud voice, came out of him.
Mk 1:27And 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.
Mk 1:28And immediately the report concerning Him went out everywhere into all the surrounding region of Galilee.
Mk 1:29And immediately, going out of the synagogue, they came into the house of Simon and Andrew with James and John.
Mk 1:30And Simon’s mother-in-law was lying down with a fever, and immediately they told Him about her.
Mk 1:31And He came to her and raised her up, holding her hand, and the fever left her, and she served them.
Mk 1:32And when evening fell and the sun had set, they brought to Him all those who were ill and those who were demon-possessed.
Mk 1:33And the whole city was gathered together at the door.
Mk 1:34And 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.
Mk 1:35And 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.
Mk 1:36And Simon and those with him hunted for Him,
Mk 1:37And they found Him and said to Him, All are seeking You.
Mk 1:38And 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.
Mk 1:39And He went preaching in their synagogues in the whole of Galilee and casting out the demons.
Mk 1:40And a leper came to Him, entreating Him and falling on his knees and saying to Him, If You are willing, You can cleanse me.
Mk 1:41And He was moved with compassion, and stretching out His hand, He touched him and said to him, I am willing; be cleansed!
Mk 1:42And immediately the leprosy left him, and he was cleansed.
Mk 1:43And sternly charging him, immediately He thrust him out,
Mk 1:44And 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.
Mk 1:45But 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.
