| 1:1 |
The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God;
|
| 1:2 |
As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
|
| 1:3 |
The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
|
| 1:4 |
John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.
|
| 1:5 |
And there went out unto him all the land of Judaea, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized of him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins.
|
| 1:6 |
And John was clothed with camel's hair, and with a girdle of a skin about his loins; and he did eat locusts and wild honey;
|
| 1:7 |
And preached, saying, There cometh one mightier than I after me, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose.
|
| 1:8 |
I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost.
|
| 1:9 |
And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan.
|
| 1:10 |
And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him:
|
| 1:11 |
And there came a voice from heaven, [saying], Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
|
| 1:12 |
And immediately the Spirit driveth him into the wilderness.
|
| 1:13 |
And he was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted of Satan; and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto him.
|
| 1:14 |
Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,
|
| 1:15 |
And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
|
| 1:16 |
Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.
|
| 1:17 |
And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.
|
| 1:18 |
And straightway they forsook their nets, and followed him.
|
| 1:19 |
And when he had gone a little further thence, he saw James the [son] of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the ship mending their nets.
|
| 1:20 |
And straightway he called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants, and went after him.
|
| 1:21 |
And they went into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath day he entered into the synagogue, and taught.
|
| 1:22 |
And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes.
|
| 1:23 |
And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,
|
| 1:24 |
Saying, Let [us] alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.
|
| 1:25 |
And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him.
|
| 1:26 |
And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him.
|
| 1:27 |
And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What thing is this? what new doctrine [is] this? for with authority commandeth he even the unclean spirits, and they do obey him.
|
| 1:28 |
And immediately his fame spread abroad throughout all the region round about Galilee.
|
| 1:29 |
And forthwith, when they were come out of the synagogue, they entered into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
|
| 1:30 |
But Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever, and anon they tell him of her.
|
| 1:31 |
And he came and took her by the hand, and lifted her up; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them.
|
| 1:32 |
And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all that were diseased, and them that were possessed with devils.
|
| 1:33 |
And all the city was gathered together at the door.
|
| 1:34 |
And he healed many that were sick of divers diseases, and cast out many devils; and suffered not the devils to speak, because they knew him.
|
| 1:35 |
And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.
|
| 1:36 |
And Simon and they that were with him followed after him.
|
| 1:37 |
And when they had found him, they said unto him, All [men] seek for thee.
|
| 1:38 |
And he said unto them, Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also: for therefore came I forth.
|
| 1:39 |
And he preached in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and cast out devils.
|
| 1:40 |
And there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
|
| 1:41 |
And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth [his] hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean.
|
| 1:42 |
And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed.
|
| 1:43 |
And he straitly charged him, and forthwith sent him away;
|
| 1:44 |
And saith unto him, See thou say nothing to any man: but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing those things which Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.
|
| 1:45 |
But he went out, and began to publish [it] much, and to blaze abroad the matter, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly enter into the city, but was without in desert places: and they came to him from every quarter.
