1The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.G746G2098G2424G5547G5207G23162As it is written in Isaiah the prophet, "Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way,G5613G1125G1722G4396G2400G1473G649G3450G32G4253G4675G4383G3739G2680G4675G3598G1715G46753the voice of one crying in the wilderness: 'Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight,'"G5456G994G1722G2048G2090G3598G2962G4160G846G5147G21174John appeared, baptizing in the wilderness and proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.G2491G1096G907G1722G2048G2532G2784G908G3341G1519G859G2665And all the country of Judea and all Jerusalem were going out to him and were being baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.G2532G1607G4314G846G3956G5561G2449G2532G2415G2532G907G3956G907G5259G846G1722G4215G2446G1843G846G2666Now John was clothed with camel's hair and wore a leather belt around his waist and ate locusts and wild honey.G1161G2491G2258G1746G2574G2359G2532G2223G1193G4012G846G3751G2532G2068G200G2532G66G31927And he preached, saying, "After me comes he who is mightier than I, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie.G2532G2784G3004G2064G2478G3450G3694G3450G2438G3739G846G5266G1510G3756G2425G2955G30898I have baptized you with water, but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit."G1473G3303G907G5209G1722G5204G1161G846G907G5209G1722G40G41519In those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan.G2532G1096G1722G1565G2250G2424G2064G575G3478G1056G2532G907G5259G2491G1519G244610And when he came up out of the water, immediately he saw the heavens being torn open and the Spirit descending on him like a dove.G2532G2112G305G575G5204G1492G3772G4977G2532G4151G5616G4058G2597G1909G84611And a voice came from heaven, "You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased."G2532G1096G5456G1537G3772G4771G1488G3450G27G5207G1722G3739G210612The Spirit immediately drove him out into the wilderness.G2532G2117G4151G1544G846G1519G204813And he was in the wilderness forty days, being tempted by Satan. And he was with the wild animals, and the angels were ministering to him.G2532G2258G1563G1722G2048G5062G2250G3985G5259G4567G2532G2258G3326G2342G2532G32G1247G84614Now after John was arrested, Jesus came into Galilee, proclaiming the gospel of God,G1161G3326G2491G3860G2424G2064G1519G1056G2784G2098G932G231615and saying, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel."G2532G3004G3754G2540G4137G2532G932G2316G1448G3340G2532G4100G1722G209816Passing alongside the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew the brother of Simon casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen.G1161G4043G3844G2281G1056G1492G4613G2532G406G846G80G906G293G1722G2281G1063G2258G23117And Jesus said to them, "Follow me, and I will make you become fishers of men."G2532G2424G2036G846G1205G3694G3450G2532G4160G5209G1096G231G44418And immediately they left their nets and followed him.G2532G2112G863G846G1350G190G84619And going on a little farther, he saw James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, who were in their boat mending the nets.G2532G4260G3641G4260G1564G1492G2385G3588G2199G2532G2491G846G80G846G2532G1722G4143G2675G135020And immediately he called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants and followed him.G2532G2112G2564G846G2532G863G846G3962G2199G1722G4143G3326G3411G565G3694G84621And they went into Capernaum, and immediately on the Sabbath he entered the synagogue and was teaching.G2532G1531G1519G2584G2532G2112G4521G1525G1519G4864G132122And they were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as one who had authority, and not as the scribes.G2532G1605G1909G846G1322G1063G1321G2258G846G5613G2192G1849G2532G3756G5613G112223And immediately there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit. And he cried out,G2532G2258G1722G846G4864G444G1722G169G4151G2532G34924"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."G3004G1436G5101G2254G2532G4671G2424G3479G2064G622G2248G1492G4571G5101G1488G40G231625But Jesus rebuked him, saying, "Be silent, and come out of him!"G2532G2424G2008G846G3004G5392G2532G1831G1537G84626And the unclean spirit, convulsing him and crying out with a loud voice, came out of him.G2532G169G4151G4682G846G2532G2896G3173G5456G1831G1537G84627And they were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, "What is this? A new teaching with authority! He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him."G2532G2284G3956G2284G5620G4802G4314G846G3004G5101G2076G3778G5101G2537G1322G5124G3754G2596G1849G2004G2532G169G4151G2532G5219G84628And at once his fame spread everywhere throughout all the surrounding region of Galilee.G1161G2117G846G189G1831G1519G3650G4066G105629And immediately he left the synagogue and entered the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.G2532G2112G1831G1537G4864G2064G1519G3614G4613G2532G406G3326G2385G2532G249130Now Simon's mother-in-law lay ill with a fever, and immediately they told him about her.G1161G4613G3994G2621G4445G2532G2112G3004G846G4012G84631And he came and took her by the hand and lifted her up, and the fever left her, and she began to serve them.G2532G4334G2902G846G5495G1453G846G1453G2532G2112G4446G863G846G2532G1247G84632That evening at sundown they brought to him all who were sick or oppressed by demons.G1161G1096G3798G3753G2246G1416G5342G4314G846G3956G2192G2560G2532G113933And the whole city was gathered together at the door.G2532G3650G4172G2258G1996G4314G237434And he healed 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.G2532G2323G4183G2192G2560G4164G3554G2532G1544G4183G1140G2532G863G3756G1140G2980G3754G1492G84635And rising very early in the morning, while it was still dark, he departed and went out to a desolate place, and there he prayed.G2532G4404G450G3029G1773G1831G2532G565G1519G2048G5117G2546G433636And Simon and those who were with him searched for him,G2532G4613G2532G3326G846G2614G84637and they found him and said to him, "Everyone is looking for you."G2532G2147G846G3004G846G3754G3956G2212G457138And he said to them, "Let us go on to the next towns, that I may preach there also, for that is why I came out."G2532G3004G846G71G1519G2192G2969G2443G2784G2546G1063G1519G5124G183139And he went throughout all Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and casting out demons.G2532G2784G2258G1722G846G4864G1519G3650G1056G2532G1544G114040And a leper came to him, imploring him, and kneeling said to him, "If you will, you can make me clean."G2532G2064G3015G4314G846G3870G846G2532G1120G846G2532G3004G846G3754G1437G2309G1410G2511G3165G251141Moved with pity, he stretched out his hand and touched him and said to him, "I will; be clean."G1161G2424G4697G1614G5495G680G846G2532G3004G846G2309G251142And immediately the leprosy left him, and he was made clean.G2532G846G2036G2112G3014G565G575G846G2532G251143And Jesus sternly charged him and sent him away at once,G2532G1690G846G2112G1544G846G154444and said to him, "See that you say nothing to anyone, but go, show yourself to the priest and offer for your cleansing what Moses commanded, for a proof to them."G2532G3004G846G3708G2036G3367G3367G235G5217G1166G4572G2409G2532G4374G4012G4675G2512G3739G3475G4367G1519G3142G84645But he went out and began to talk freely about it, and to spread the news, so that Jesus could no longer openly enter a town, but was out in desolate places, and people were coming to him from every quarter.G1161G1831G756G2784G4183G2532G1310G3056G5620G846G1410G3371G5320G1525G1519G4172G235G2258G1854G1722G2048G5117G2532G2064G4314G846G3836
