|
\v 1 This is the beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
|
|
\p
|
|
\v 2 As it is written in Isaiah the prophet,
|
|
\q "Look, I am sending my messenger before your face,
|
|
\q the one who will prepare your way.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 3 "The voice of someone calling out in the wilderness,
|
|
\q 'Make ready the way of the Lord;
|
|
\q make his paths straight.'"

\s5
|
|
\v 4 John came, baptizing in the wilderness and preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.
|
|
\v 5 All the country of Judea and all the people of Jerusalem went out to him. They were baptized by him in the Jordan River, confessing their sins.
|
|
\v 6 John was wearing a coat of camel's hair and a leather belt about his waist, and he was eating locusts and wild honey.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\p
|
|
\v 7 He preached and said, "Someone is coming after me who is more powerful than I, and I am not worthy even to stoop down to untie the strap of his sandals.
|
|
\v 8 I baptized you with water, but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit."
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\p
|
|
\v 9 It happened in those days that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and he was baptized by John in the Jordan River.
|
|
\v 10 As Jesus came up out of the water, he saw the heavens split open and the Spirit coming down on him like a dove,
|
|
\v 11 while a voice came out of the heavens, "You are my beloved Son. I am very pleased with you."
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\p
|
|
\v 12 Then the Spirit immediately compelled him to go out into the wilderness.
|
|
\v 13 He was in the wilderness forty days, and he was being tempted by Satan. He was with the wild animals, and the angels served his needs.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\p
|
|
\v 14 Now after John was arrested, Jesus came into Galilee and proclaimed the gospel of God,
|
|
\v 15 and saying, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe in the gospel."
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\p
|
|
\v 16 And passing along by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew the brother of Simon casting a net in the sea, for they were fishermen.
|
|
\v 17 Jesus said to them, "Come after me, and I will make you become fishers of men."
|
|
\v 18 Immediately they left the nets and went after him.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 19 As Jesus was walking on a little farther, he saw James son of Zebedee and John his brother; they were in the boat mending the nets.
|
|
\v 20 He immediately called them; they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, and they followed him.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\p
|
|
\v 21 And going into Capernaum, immediately on the Sabbath he entered the synagogue and taught.
|
|
\v 22 They were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as one with authority and not as the scribes.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 23 Just then there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit. He cried out,
|
|
\v 24 "What do we have to do with you, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are. You are the Holy One of God!"
|
|
\v 25 Jesus rebuked the demon and said, "Be quiet and come out of him!"
|
|
\v 26 After the unclean spirit had thrown him down, the unclean spirit cried out with a loud voice and came out of him.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 27 The people were all amazed, so they asked each other, "What is this? A new teaching with authority! He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him."
|
|
\v 28 Immediately the news about him went out everywhere into all the region surrounding Galilee.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\p
|
|
\v 29 Immediately after they left the synagogue, they went into the house of Simon and Andrew, along with James and John.
|
|
\v 30 Now Simon's mother-in-law was lying sick with a fever. Immediately they told Jesus about her.
|
|
\v 31 So he came, took hold of her by the hand, and raised her up; the fever left her, and she started serving them.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\p
|
|
\v 32 When it was evening, after the sun had set, they brought to him all who were sick or possessed by demons.
|
|
\v 33 The whole city gathered together at the door.
|
|
\v 34 He healed many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons. But he did not allow the demons to speak because they knew him.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\p
|
|
\v 35 He got up very early while it was still dark; he left and went out into a solitary place, and he prayed there.
|
|
\v 36 Simon and those who were with him searched for him.
|
|
\v 37 They found him, and they said to him, "Everyone is looking for you."
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 38 He said, "Let us go elsewhere, out into the surrounding towns, that I may preach there also. That is what I came out here to do."
|
|
\v 39 He went throughout all Galilee, he preached in their synagogues and he casted out demons.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\p
|
|
\v 40 A leper came to him; he was begging him as he knelt down. He said to him, "If you are willing, you can make me clean."
|
|
\v 41 Moved with compassion, Jesus reached out his hand and touched him, saying to him, "I am willing. Be clean."
|
|
\v 42 Immediately the leprosy left him, and he was made clean.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 43 Jesus strictly warned him and sent him away immediately,
|
|
\v 44 Jesus said to him, "Be sure to say nothing to anyone, but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer the things for your cleansing that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them."
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 45 But he went out and started to tell everyone. The man spread the word so much that Jesus was unable to go freely into any town; he had to stay out in desert places so that people had to go out to him from everywhere.
