1Mark 1

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

2Even as it is written in Isaiah the prophet, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, Who shall prepare thy way;Select Mark 1:2

3The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make ye ready the way of the Lord, Make his paths straight;Select Mark 1:3

4John came, who baptized in the wilderness and preached the baptism of repentance unto remission of sins.Select Mark 1:4

5And there went out unto him all the country of Judæa, and all they of Jerusalem; and they were baptized of him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.Select Mark 1:5

6And John was clothed with camel’s hair, and had a leathern girdle about his loins, and did eat locusts and wild honey.Select Mark 1:6

7And he preached, saying, There cometh after me he that is mightier than I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose.Select Mark 1:7

8I baptized you in water; but he shall baptize you in the Holy Spirit.Select Mark 1:8

9And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in the Jordan.Select Mark 1:9

10And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens rent asunder, and the Spirit as a dove descending upon him:Select Mark 1:10

11and a voice came out of the heavens, Thou art my beloved Son, in thee I am well pleased.Select Mark 1:11

12And straightway the Spirit driveth him forth into the wilderness.Select Mark 1:12

13And he was in the wilderness forty days tempted of Satan; and he was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto him.Select Mark 1:13

14Now after John was delivered up, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God,Select Mark 1:14

15and saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe in the gospel.Select Mark 1:15

16And 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 fishers.Select Mark 1:16

17And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.Select Mark 1:17

18And straightway they left the nets, and followed him.Select Mark 1:18

19And going on a little further, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the boat mending the nets.Select Mark 1:19

20And straightway he called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, and went after him.Select Mark 1:20

21And they go into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath day he entered into the synagogue and taught.Select Mark 1:21

22And they were astonished at his teaching: for he taught them as having authority, and not as the scribes.Select Mark 1:22

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

24saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus thou Nazarene? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.Select Mark 1:24

25And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him.Select Mark 1:25

26And the unclean spirit, tearing him and crying with a loud voice, came out of him.Select Mark 1:26

27And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What is this? a new teaching! with authority he commandeth even the unclean spirits, and they obey him.Select Mark 1:27

28And the report of him went out straightway everywhere into all the region of Galilee round about.Select Mark 1:28

29And straightway, when they were come out of the synagogue, they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.Select Mark 1:29

30Now Simon’s wife’s mother lay sick of a fever; and straightway they tell him of her:Select Mark 1:30

31and he came and took her by the hand, and raised her up; and the fever left her, and she ministered unto them.Select Mark 1:31

32And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all that were sick, and them that were possessed with demons.Select Mark 1:32

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

34And he healed many that were sick with divers diseases, and cast out many demons; and he suffered not the demons to speak, because they knew him.Select Mark 1:34

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

36And Simon and they that were with him followed after him;Select Mark 1:36

37and they found him, and say unto him, All are seeking thee.Select Mark 1:37

38And he saith unto them, Let us go elsewhere into the next towns, that I may preach there also; for to this end came I forth.Select Mark 1:38

39And he went into their synagogues throughout all Galilee, preaching and casting out demons.Select Mark 1:39

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

41And being moved with compassion, he stretched forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou made clean.Select Mark 1:41

42And straightway the leprosy departed from him, and he was made clean.Select Mark 1:42

43And he strictly charged him, and straightway sent him out,Select Mark 1:43

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

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