Mark 1
|
| The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. | The first words of the good news of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. |
| Even as it is written in Isaiah the prophet, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, Who shall prepare thy way. | Even as it is said in the book of Isaiah the prophet, See, I send my servant before your face, who will make ready your way; |
| The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make ye ready the way of the Lord, Make his paths straight; | The voice of one crying in the waste land, Make ready the way of the Lord, make his roads straight; |
| John came, who baptized in the wilderness and preached the baptism of repentance unto remission of sins. | John came, and gave baptism in the waste land, preaching baptism as a sign of forgiveness of sin for those whose hearts were changed. |
| And there went out unto him all the country of Judaea, and all they of Jerusalem; And they were baptized of him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins. | And there went out to him all the people of Judaea, and all those of Jerusalem, and they were given baptism by him in the river Jordan, saying that they were sinners. |
| And John was clothed with camel's hair, and [had] a leathern girdle about his loins, and did eat locusts and wild honey. | And John was clothed in camel's hair, with a leather band about him; and his food was locusts and honey. |
| And 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. | And he said to them all, There is one coming after me who is greater than I, whose shoes I am not good enough to undo. |
| I baptized you in water; But he shall baptize you in the Holy Spirit. | I have given you baptism with water, but he will give you baptism with the Holy Spirit. |
| And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in the Jordan. | And it came about in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was given baptism by John in the Jordan. |
| And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens rent asunder, and the Spirit as a dove descending upon him: | And straight away, coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens broken open and the Spirit coming down on him as a dove: |
| And a voice came out of the heavens, Thou art my beloved Son, in thee I am well pleased. | And a voice came out of heaven, You are my dearly loved Son, with whom I am well pleased. |
| And straightway the Spirit driveth him forth into the wilderness. | And straight away the Spirit sent him out into the waste land. |
| And he was in the wilderness forty days tempted of Satan; And he was with the wild beasts; And the angels ministered unto him. | And he was in the waste land for forty days, being tested by Satan; and he was with the beasts; and the angels took care of him. |
| Now after John was delivered up, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God, | Now after John had been put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the good news of God, |
| and saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe in the gospel. | And saying, The time has come, and the kingdom of God is near: let your hearts be turned from sin and have faith in the good news. |
| And 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. | And going by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon, and Andrew, the brother of Simon, putting a net into the sea: for they were fishermen. |
| And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men. | And Jesus said to them, Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men. |
| And straightway they left the nets, and followed him. | And they went straight from their nets, and came after him. |
| And 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. | And going on a little farther, he saw James, the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who were in their boat stitching up their nets. |
| And straightway he called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, and went after him. | And he said, Come after me: and they went away from their father Zebedee, who was in the boat with the servants, and came after him. |
| And they go into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath day he entered into the synagogue and taught. | And they came to Capernaum; and on the Sabbath he went into the Synagogue and gave teaching. |
| And they were astonished at his teaching: For he taught them as having authority, and not as the scribes. | And they were full of wonder at his teaching, because he gave it as one having authority, and not like the scribes. |
| And straightway there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out, | And there was in their Synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he gave a cry, |
| saying, 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. | Saying, What have we to do with you, Jesus of Nazareth? have you come to put an end to us? I see well who you are, the Holy One of God. |
| And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. | And Jesus said to him sharply, Be quiet, and come out of him. |
| And the unclean spirit, tearing him and crying with a loud voice, came out of him. | And the unclean spirit, shaking him violently, and crying with a loud voice, came out of him. |
| And 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. | And they were all greatly surprised, so that they put questions to one another, saying, What is this? a new teaching! with authority he gives orders even to the unclean spirits, and they do what he says. |
| And the report of him went out straightway everywhere into all the region of Galilee round about. | And news of him went out quickly everywhere into all parts of Galilee round about. |
| And straightway, when they were come out of the synagogue, they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. | And when they came out of the Synagogue, they went into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. |
| Now Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever; and straightway they tell him of her: | Now Simon's wife's mother was ill, with a burning heat; and they gave him word of her: |
| and he came and took her by the hand, and raised her up; and the fever left her, and she ministered unto them. | And he came and took her by the hand, lifting her up; and she became well, and took care of their needs. |
| And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all that were sick, and them that were possessed with demons. | And in the evening, at sundown, they took to him all who were diseased, and those who had evil spirits. |
| And all the city was gathered together at the door. | And all the town had come together at the door. |
| And 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. | And a number, who were ill with different diseases, he made well, and sent out evil spirits; but he did not let the evil spirits say anything, because they had knowledge of him. |
| And in the morning, a great while before day, he rose up and went out, and departed into a desert place, and there prayed. | And in the morning, a long time before daylight, he got up and went out to a quiet place, and there he gave himself up to prayer. |
| And Simon and they that were with him followed after him; | And Simon and those who were with him came after him. |
| and they found him, and say unto him, All are seeking thee. | And when they came up with him, they said to him, Everyone is looking for you. |
| And 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. | And he said to them, Let us go to other parts into the nearest towns, so that I may give teaching there, because for this purpose I came. |
| And he went into their synagogues throughout all Galilee, preaching and casting out demons. | And he went into their Synagogues in every part of Galilee, preaching and driving out evil spirits. |
| And 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. | And a leper came to him and, going down on his knees before him, made a request, saying, If it is your pleasure, you have the power to make me clean. |
| And being moved with compassion, he stretched forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou made clean. | And being moved with pity, he put out his hand, and touching him said to him, It is my pleasure; be made clean. |
| And straightway the leprosy departed from him, and he was made clean. | And straight away the disease went from him, and he was made clean. |
| And he strictly charged him, and straightway sent him out, | And he sent him away, saying to him very sharply, |
| and 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. | See that you say nothing to any man: but go and let the priest see you, and make yourself clean by an offering of the things ordered by Moses, for a witness to them. |
| But 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. | But he went out, and made it public, giving an account of it everywhere, so that Jesus was no longer able to go openly into a town, but was outside in the waste land; and they came to him from every part. |
