1:1  The beginning of the Good News of Yeshua ha-Mashiach, Ben-Elohim.
1:2  As Isaiah the prophet has written, “Behold, I send My messenger before You, who will prepare Your way.
1:3  The voice of one crying in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way of Adonai, and make His paths straight.’”
1:4  John appeared, immersing in the wilderness, proclaiming an immersion involving repentance for the removal of sins.
1:5  All the Judean countryside was going out to him, and all the Jerusalemites. As they confessed their sins, they were being immersed by him in the Jordan River.
1:6  John wore clothes made from camel’s hair, with a leather belt around his waist, and he ate locusts and wild honey.
1:7  “After me comes One who is mightier than I am,” he proclaimed. “I’m not worthy to stoop down and untie the strap of His sandals!
1:8  I immersed you with water, but He will immerse you in the Ruach ha-Kodesh.”
1:9  In those days, Yeshua came from Natzeret in the Galilee and was immersed by John in the Jordan.
1:10  Just as He was coming up out of the water, He saw the heavens ripping open and the Ruach as a dove coming down upon Him.
1:11  And there came a voice from the heavens: “You are My Son, whom I love; with You I am well pleased!”
1:12  That instant, the Ruach drives Him into the wilderness.
1:13  He was in the wilderness forty days, being tempted by satan. And He was with the wild beasts, and the angels were taking care of Him.
1:14  Now after John was put in jail, Yeshua came into the Galilee, proclaiming the Good News of God.
1:15  “Now is the fullness of time,” He said, “and the kingdom of God is near! Turn away from your sins, and believe in the Good News!”
1:16  Passing along by the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and Simon’s brother Andrew casting a net in the sea, for they were fishermen.
1:17  And Yeshua said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you become fishers of men.”
1:18  Immediately they left their nets and followed Him.
1:19  Going a little farther, He saw Jacob the son of Zebedee and John his brother, who were in their boat mending the nets.
1:20  Immediately He called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired hands and followed Him.
1:21  And they went into Capernaum. Right away, on Shabbat, He entered the synagogue and began to teach.
1:22  And they were astounded at His teaching, for He was teaching them as one having authority and not as the Torah scholars.
1:23  Just then there was a man in their synagogue with an unclean spirit. And he cried out,
1:24  “What have we to do with You, Yeshua of Natzeret? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are! You’re the Holy One of God!”
1:25  Yeshua rebuked him, saying, “Quiet! Come out of him!”
1:26  And the unclean spirit, after throwing the man into convulsions and crying out with a loud voice, came out of him.
1:27  They were all so amazed that they asked among themselves, “What is this? A new teaching with authority! He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey Him!”
1:28  And immediately news about Him spread throughout the region surrounding Galilee.
1:29  As soon as they left the synagogue, they went with Jacob and John to the house of Simon and Andrew.
1:30  Now Simon’s mother-in-law was lying sick with a fever. Right away, they told Yeshua about her.
1:31  He came and raised her up by taking her hand. The fever left her, and she began to take care of them.
1:32  When evening came, at sunset, the people brought to Him all the sick and those who were afflicted by demons.
1:33  The whole town gathered together at the door.
1:34  He healed many who were sick with various diseases and drove out many demons. And He would not allow the demons to speak, because they knew who He was.
1:35  Very early, while it was still night, Yeshua got up, left, and went away to a place in the wilderness; and there He was praying.
1:36  Then Simon and those with him hunted for Yeshua.
1:37  And when they found Him, they said to Him, “Everybody’s looking for You.”
1:38  He said to them, “Let’s go somewhere else, to the neighboring towns, so that I may proclaim the message there also—this is what I came for.”
1:39  And He went throughout all the Galilee, proclaiming the message in their synagogues and driving out demons.
1:40  A man with tzara’at comes to Him, begging Him and falling on his knees, saying, “If You are willing, You can make me clean.”
1:41  Moved with compassion, Yeshua stretched out His hand and touched him. He said, “I am willing. Be cleansed.”
1:42  Immediately, the tzara’at left him, and he was cleansed.
1:43  Yeshua sent him away at once, sternly warning him.
1:44  He said to him, “See that you say nothing to anyone, but go show yourself to the kohen. Then, for your cleansing, offer what Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”
1:45  But he went out and began to proclaim and spread the word, so much that Yeshua could no longer enter a town openly but had to stay out in wilderness areas. Still, they kept on coming to Him from everywhere.
