1:1  The beginning of the good news of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
1:2  As it is written in the prophet Isaiah, ‘See, I am sending my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way;
1:3  the voice of one crying out in the wilderness: “Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight”’,
1:4  John the baptizer appeared in the wilderness, proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.
1:5  And people from the whole Judean countryside and all the people of Jerusalem were going out to him, and were baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.
1:6  Now John was clothed with camel’s hair, with a leather belt around his waist, and he ate locusts and wild honey.
1:7  He proclaimed, ‘The one who is more powerful than I is coming after me; I am not worthy to stoop down and untie the thong of his sandals.
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 just as he was coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens torn apart and the Spirit descending like a dove on him.
1:11  And a voice came from heaven, ‘You are my Son, the Beloved; with you I am well pleased.’
1:12  And the Spirit immediately drove him out into the wilderness.
1:13  He was in the wilderness for forty days, tempted by Satan; and he was with the wild beasts; and the angels waited on him.
1:14  Now after John was arrested, Jesus came to Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God,
1:15  and saying, ‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has come near; repent, and believe in the good news.’
1:16  As Jesus passed along the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting a net into the lake—for they were fishermen.
1:17  And Jesus said to them, ‘Follow me and I will make you fish for people.’
1:18  And immediately they left their nets and followed him.
1:19  As he went a little farther, he saw James son of Zebedee and his brother John, 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 men, and followed him.
1:21  They went to Capernaum; and when the sabbath came, he entered the synagogue and taught.
1:22  They were astounded at his teaching, for he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.
1:23  Just then 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, throwing him into convulsions and crying with a loud voice, came out of him.
1:27  They were all amazed, and they kept on asking one another, ‘What is this? A new teaching—with authority! He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him.’
1:28  At once his fame began to spread throughout the surrounding region of Galilee.
1:29  As soon as they left the synagogue, they entered the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
1:30  Now Simon’s mother-in-law was in bed with a fever, and they told him about her at once.
1:31  He came and took her by the hand and lifted her up. Then the fever left her, and she began to serve them.
1:32  That evening, at sunset, they brought to him all who were sick or possessed with demons.
1:33  And the whole city was gathered around the door.
1:34  And he cured 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  In the morning, while it was still very dark, he got up and went out to a deserted place, and there he prayed.
1:36  And Simon and his companions hunted for him.
1:37  When they found him, they said to him, ‘Everyone is searching for you.’
1:38  He answered, ‘Let us go on to the neighbouring towns, so that I may proclaim the message there also; for that is what I came out to do.’
1:39  And he went throughout Galilee, proclaiming the message in their synagogues and casting out demons.
1:40  A leper came to him begging him, and kneeling he said to him, ‘If you choose, you can make me clean.’
1:41  Moved with pity, Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him, and said to him, ‘I do choose. Be made clean!’
1:42  Immediately the leprosy left him, and he was made clean.
1:43  After sternly warning him he sent him away at once,
1:44  saying to him, ‘See that you say nothing to anyone; but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing what Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.’
1:45  But he went out and began to proclaim it freely, and to spread the word, so that Jesus could no longer go into a town openly, but stayed out in the country; and people came to him from every quarter.
