1Mark 1

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

2As it is written in Isaias the prophet: Behold I send my angel before thy face, who shall prepare the way before thee.Select Mark 1:2

3A voice of one crying in the desert: Prepare ye the way of the Lord; make straight his paths.Select Mark 1:3

4John was in the desert, baptizing and preaching the baptism of penance, unto remission of sins.Select Mark 1:4

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

6And John was clothed camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins: and he ate locusts and wild honey.Select Mark 1:6

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

8I have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost.Select Mark 1:8

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

10And forthwith coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens open and the Spirit as a dove descending and remaining on him.Select Mark 1:10

11And there came a voice from heaven: Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.Select Mark 1:11

12And immediately the Spirit drove him out into the desert.Select Mark 1:12

13And he was in the desert forty days and forty nights, and was tempted by Satan. And he was with beasts: and the angels ministered to him.Select Mark 1:13

14And after that John was delivered up, Jesus came in Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,Select Mark 1:14

15And saying: The time is accomplished and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent and believe the gospel:Select Mark 1:15

16And passing by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother, casting nets into the sea for they were fishermen.Select Mark 1:16

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

18And immediately leaving their nets, they followed him.Select Mark 1:18

19And going on from thence a little farther, he saw James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, who also were mending their nets in the ship:Select Mark 1:19

20And forthwith he called them. And leaving their father Zebedee in the ship with his hired men, they followed him.Select Mark 1:20

21And they entered into Capharnaum: and forthwith upon the sabbath days going into the synagogue, he taught them.Select Mark 1:21

22And they were astonished at his doctrine. For he was teaching them as one having power, and not as the scribes.Select Mark 1:22

23And 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 of Nazareth? Art thou come to destroy us? I know who thou art, the Holy One of God.Select Mark 1:24

25And Jesus threatened him, saying: Speak no more, and go out of the man.Select Mark 1:25

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

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

28And the fame of him was spread forthwith into all the country of Galilee.Select Mark 1:28

29And immediately going out of the synagogue they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.Select Mark 1:29

30And Simon's wife's mother lay in a fit of a fever: and forthwith they tell him of her.Select Mark 1:30

31And coming to her, he lifted her up, taking her by the hand; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them.Select Mark 1:31

32And when it was evening, after sunset, they brought to him all that were ill and that were possessed with devils.Select Mark 1:32

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

34And he healed many that were troubled with divers diseases. And he cast out many devils: and he suffered them not to speak, because they knew him.Select Mark 1:34

35And rising very early, going out, he went into a desert place: and there he prayed.Select Mark 1:35

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

37And when they had found him, they said to him: All seek for thee.Select Mark 1:37

38And he saith to them: Let us go into the neighbouring towns and cities, that I may preach there also; for to this purpose am I come.Select Mark 1:38

39And he was preaching in their synagogues and in all Galilee and casting out devils.Select Mark 1:39

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

41And Jesus, having compassion on him, stretched forth his hand and touching him saith to him: I will. Be thou made clean.Select Mark 1:41

42And when he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him: and he was made clean.Select Mark 1:42

43And he strictly charged him and forthwith sent him away.Select Mark 1:43

44And he saith to him: See thou tell no one; but go, shew thyself to the high priest and offer for thy cleansing the things that Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.Select Mark 1:44

45But he being gone out, began to publish and to blaze abroad the word: so that he could not openly go into the city. but was without in desert places. And they flocked to him from all sides.Select Mark 1:45
