Jubilee2000 - Mark - 1

1:1  The beginning of the gospel of Jesus, the Christ, Son of God,

1:2  as it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.

1:3  The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord; make his paths straight.

1:4  John baptized in the wilderness and preached the baptism of repentance for remission of sins.

1:5  And there went out unto him all the land of Judaea and those of Jerusalem and were all baptized of him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins.

1:6  John was clothed with camel's hair and with a girdle of a skin about his loins; and he ate locusts and wild honey

1:7  and preached, saying, There comes one mightier than I after me, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose.

1:8  I indeed have baptized you with water, but he shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit.

1:9  And it came to pass in those days that Jesus came from Nazareth [a city] of Galilee and was baptized of John in the Jordan.

1:10  And as soon as he was come out of the water, [John] saw the heavens opened and the Spirit like a dove descending [and resting] upon him;

1:11  and there came a voice from heaven, [saying], Thou art my dear Son, in whom I delight.

1:12  And immediately the Spirit drove him into the wilderness.

1:13  And he was there in the wilderness forty [days and forty nights] and was tempted of Satan and was with the wild beasts, and the angels ministered unto him.

1:14  Now after John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom of God

1:15  and saying, The time is fulfilled, and the Kingdom of God is at hand; repent ye and believe the Gospel.

1:16  Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea, for they were fishers.

1:17  And Jesus said unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.

1:18  And straightway they forsook their nets and followed him.

1:19  And when he had gone a little further from there, he saw James the [son] of Zebedee and John his brother, who also were in the ship mending their nets.

1:20  And straightway he called them; and leaving their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants, they went after him.

1:21  And they entered into Capernaum, and straightway on the sabbath days he entered into the synagogue and taught.

1:22  And they marvelled at his learning, for he taught them as one that had power with him, and not as the scribes.

1:23  And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit, and he cried out,

1:24  saying, Let [us] alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? Art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.

1:25  And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Be silent, and come out of him.

1:26  And the unclean spirit tore him and cried with a loud voice and came out of him.

1:27  And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What thing is this? What new doctrine [is] this? for he commands the unclean spirits with power, and they obey him.

1:28  And immediately his fame spread abroad throughout all the region round about Galilee.

1:29  And forthwith, when they were come out of the synagogue, they entered into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.

1:30  But Simon's mother-in-law lay sick of a fever, and soon 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 by and by, and she ministered unto them.

1:32  In the evening, when the sun was down, they brought unto him all that were diseased and those that were possessed with devils.

1:33  And all the city was gathered together at the door.

1:34  And he healed many that were sick of diverse diseases and cast out many devils and suffered not the devils to speak because they knew him.

1:35  And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out and departed into a solitary place and prayed there.

1:36  And Simon and those that were with him followed after him.

1:37  And when they had found him, they said unto him, All [men] seek for thee.

1:38  And he said unto them, Let us go into the next towns that I may preach there also, for truly I came forth for that purpose.

1:39  And he preached in their synagogues throughout all Galilee and cast out devils.

1:40  And a leper came to him, beseeching him and kneeling down to him and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

1:41  And Jesus, having mercy on him, put forth [his] hand and touched him and said unto him, I will; be thou clean.

1:42  And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was clean.

1:43  And he straitly charged him and forthwith sent him away

1:44  and said unto him, See thou say nothing to any man, but go, show thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing those things which Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.

1:45  But he went out and began to publish [it] much and to blaze abroad the matter, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly enter into the city, but was without in desert places; and they came to him from every quarter.:
