1:1  The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
1:2  As it is written in Isaiah the prophet, “Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way;
1:3  the voice of one crying in the wilderness: Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight—”
1:4  John the baptizer appeared in the wilderness, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.
1:5  And there went out to him all the country of Judea, and all the people of Jerusalem; and they were baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.
1:6  Now John was clothed with camel’s hair, and had a leather girdle around his waist, and ate locusts and wild honey.
1:7  And he preached, saying, “After me comes he who is mightier than I, the thong of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie.
1:8  I have baptized you with water; but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.”
1:9  In those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan.
1:10  And when he came up out of the water, immediately he saw the heavens opened and the Spirit descending upon him like a dove;
1:11  and a voice came from heaven, “Thou art my beloved Son; with thee I am well pleased.”
1:12  The Spirit immediately drove him out into the wilderness.
1:13  And he was in the wilderness forty days, tempted by Satan; and he was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered to him.
1:14  Now after John was arrested, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God,
1:15  and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent, and believe in the gospel.”
1:16  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.
1:17  And Jesus said to them, “Follow me and I will make you become fishers of men.”
1:18  And immediately they left their nets and followed him.
1:19  And going on a little farther, he saw James the son of Zeb′edee and John his brother, who were in their boat mending the nets.
1:20  And immediately he called them; and they left their father Zeb′edee in the boat with the hired servants, and followed him.
1:21  And they went into Caper′na-um; and immediately on the sabbath he entered the synagogue and taught.
1:22  And they were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as one who had authority, and not as the scribes.
1:23  And immediately there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit;
1:24  and he cried out, “What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are, the Holy One of God.”
1:25  But Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be silent, and come out of him!”
1:26  And the unclean spirit, convulsing him and crying with a loud voice, came out of him.
1:27  And they were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, “What is this? A new teaching! With authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him.”
1:28  And at once his fame spread everywhere throughout all the surrounding region of Galilee.
1:29  And immediately he left the synagogue, and entered the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
1:30  Now Simon’s mother-in-law lay sick with a fever, and immediately they told him of her.
1:31  And he came and took her by the hand and lifted her up, and the fever left her; and she served them.
1:32  That evening, at sundown, they brought to him all who were sick or possessed with demons.
1:33  And the whole city was gathered together about the door.
1:34  And he healed many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons; and he would not permit the demons to speak, because they knew him.
1:35  And in the morning, a great while before day, he rose and went out to a lonely place, and there he prayed.
1:36  And Simon and those who were with him pursued him,
1:37  and they found him and said to him, “Every one is searching for you.”
1:38  And he said to them, “Let us go on to the next towns, that I may preach there also; for that is why I came out.”
1:39  And he went throughout all Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and casting out demons.
1:40  And a leper came to him beseeching him, and kneeling said to him, “If you will, you can make me clean.”
1:41  Moved with pity, he stretched out his hand and touched him, and said to him, “I will; be clean.”
1:42  And immediately the leprosy left him, and he was made clean.
1:43  And he sternly charged him, and sent him away at once,
1:44  and said to him, “See that you say nothing to any one; but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing what Moses commanded, for a proof to the people.”
1:45  But he went out and began to talk freely about it, and to spread the news, so that Jesus could no longer openly enter a town, but was out in the country; and people came to him from every quarter.
