The Proclamation of John the Baptist

1The beginning of the good news of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.G746G2098G2424G5547G5207G2316 2As it is written in the prophet Isaiah, "See, I am sending my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way;G5613G1125G1722G4396G2400G1473G649G3450G32G4253G4675G4383G3739G2680G4675G3598G1715G4675 3the voice of one crying out in the wilderness: 'Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight,'"G5456G994G1722G2048G2090G3598G2962G4160G846G5147G2117 4John the baptizer appeared in the wilderness, proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.G2491G1096G907G1722G2048G2532G2784G908G3341G1519G859G266 5And 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.G2532G1607G4314G846G3956G5561G2449G2532G2415G2532G907G3956G907G5259G846G1722G4215G2446G1843G846G266 6Now John was clothed with camel's hair, with a leather belt around his waist, and he ate locusts and wild honey.G1161G2491G2258G1746G2574G2359G2532G2223G1193G4012G846G3751G2532G2068G200G2532G66G3192 7He 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.G2532G2784G3004G2064G2478G3450G3694G3450G2438G3739G846G5266G1510G3756G2425G2955G3089 8I have baptized you with water; but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit."G1473G3303G907G5209G1722G5204G1161G846G907G5209G1722G40G4151

The Baptism of Jesus

9In those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan.G2532G1096G1722G1565G2250G2424G2064G575G3478G1056G2532G907G5259G2491G1519G2446 10And 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.G2532G2112G305G575G5204G1492G3772G4977G2532G4151G5616G4058G2597G1909G846 11And a voice came from heaven, "You are my Son, the Beloved; with you I am well pleased."G2532G1096G5456G1537G3772G4771G1488G3450G27G5207G1722G3739G2106

The Temptation of Jesus

12And the Spirit immediately drove him out into the wilderness.G2532G2117G4151G1544G846G1519G2048 13He was in the wilderness forty days, tempted by Satan; and he was with the wild beasts; and the angels waited on him.G2532G2258G1563G1722G2048G5062G2250G3985G5259G4567G2532G2258G3326G2342G2532G32G1247G846

The Beginning of the Galilean Ministry

14Now after John was arrested, Jesus came to Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God,G1161G3326G2491G3860G2424G2064G1519G1056G2784G2098G932G2316 15and saying, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has come near; repent, and believe in the good news."G2532G3004G3754G2540G4137G2532G932G2316G1448G3340G2532G4100G1722G2098

Jesus Calls the First Disciples

16As Jesus passed along the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting a net into the sea—for they were fishermen.G1161G4043G3844G2281G1056G1492G4613G2532G406G846G80G906G293G1722G2281G1063G2258G231 17And Jesus said to them, "Follow me and I will make you fish for people."G2532G2424G2036G846G1205G3694G3450G2532G4160G5209G1096G231G444 18And immediately they left their nets and followed him.G2532G2112G863G846G1350G190G846 19As he went a little farther, he saw James son of Zebedee and his brother John, who were in their boat mending the nets.G2532G4260G3641G4260G1564G1492G2385G3588G2199G2532G2491G846G80G846G2532G1722G4143G2675G1350 20Immediately he called them; and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men, and followed him.G2532G2112G2564G846G2532G863G846G3962G2199G1722G4143G3326G3411G565G3694G846

The Man with an Unclean Spirit

21They went to Capernaum; and when the sabbath came, he entered the synagogue and taught.G2532G1531G1519G2584G2532G2112G4521G1525G1519G4864G1321 22They were astounded at his teaching, for he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.G2532G1605G1909G846G1322G1063G1321G2258G846G5613G2192G1849G2532G3756G5613G1122 23Just then there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit,G2532G2258G1722G846G4864G444G1722G169G4151G2532G349 24and 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."G3004G1436G5101G2254G2532G4671G2424G3479G2064G622G2248G1492G4571G5101G1488G40G2316 25But Jesus rebuked him, saying, "Be silent, and come out of him!"G2532G2424G2008G846G3004G5392G2532G1831G1537G846 26And the unclean spirit, convulsing him and crying with a loud voice, came out of him.G2532G169G4151G4682G846G2532G2896G3173G5456G1831G1537G846 27They 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."G2532G2284G3956G2284G5620G4802G4314G846G3004G5101G2076G3778G5101G2537G1322G5124G3754G2596G1849G2004G2532G169G4151G2532G5219G846 28At once his fame began to spread throughout the surrounding region of Galilee.G1161G2117G846G189G1831G1519G3650G4066G1056

Jesus Heals Many at Simon’s House

29As soon as they left the synagogue, they entered the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.G2532G2112G1831G1537G4864G2064G1519G3614G4613G2532G406G3326G2385G2532G2491 30Now Simon's mother-in-law was in bed with a fever, and they told him about her at once.G1161G4613G3994G2621G4445G2532G2112G3004G846G4012G846 31He came and took her by the hand and lifted her up. Then the fever left her, and she began to serve them.G2532G4334G2902G846G5495G1453G846G1453G2532G2112G4446G863G846G2532G1247G846 32That evening, at sundown, they brought to him all who were sick or possessed with demons.G1161G1096G3798G3753G2246G1416G5342G4314G846G3956G2192G2560G2532G1139 33And the whole city was gathered around the door.G2532G3650G4172G2258G1996G4314G2374 34And 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.G2532G2323G4183G2192G2560G4164G3554G2532G1544G4183G1140G2532G863G3756G1140G2980G3754G1492G846

A Preaching Tour in Galilee

35In the morning, while it was still very dark, he got up and went out to a deserted place, and there he prayed.G2532G4404G450G3029G1773G1831G2532G565G1519G2048G5117G2546G4336 36And Simon and his companions hunted for him.G2532G4613G2532G3326G846G2614G846 37When they found him, they said to him, "Everyone is searching for you."G2532G2147G846G3004G846G3754G3956G2212G4571 38He answered, "Let us go on to the neighboring towns, so that I may proclaim the message there also; for that is what I came out to do."G2532G3004G846G71G1519G2192G2969G2443G2784G2546G1063G1519G5124G1831 39And he went throughout Galilee, proclaiming the message in their synagogues and casting out demons.G2532G2784G2258G1722G846G4864G1519G3650G1056G2532G1544G1140

Jesus Cleanses a Leper

40A leper came to him begging him, and kneeling he said to him, "If you choose, you can make me clean."G2532G2064G3015G4314G846G3870G846G2532G1120G846G2532G3004G846G3754G1437G2309G1410G2511G3165G2511 41Moved with pity, Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him, and said to him, "I do choose. Be made clean!"G1161G2424G4697G1614G5495G680G846G2532G3004G846G2309G2511 42Immediately the leprosy left him, and he was made clean.G2532G846G2036G2112G3014G565G575G846G2532G2511 43After sternly warning him he sent him away at once,G2532G1690G846G2112G1544G846G1544 44saying 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."G2532G3004G846G3708G2036G3367G3367G235G5217G1166G4572G2409G2532G4374G4012G4675G2512G3739G3475G4367G1519G3142G846 45But 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.G1161G1831G756G2784G4183G2532G1310G3056G5620G846G1410G3371G5320G1525G1519G4172G235G2258G1854G1722G2048G5117G2532G2064G4314G846G3836
