Preaching of John the Baptist |
|
|
 |
|
Mark 1:1
|
|
The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ,
the Son of God. |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 1:2
|
|
As it is written in Isaiah the prophet: "BEHOLD,
I SEND MY MESSENGER AHEAD OF YOU, WHO WILL PREPARE YOUR WAY; |
| |
|
|
|
Mark 1:3
|
|
THE VOICE OF ONE CRYING IN THE WILDERNESS, 'MAKE
READY THE WAY OF THE LORD, MAKE HIS PATHS STRAIGHT.'" |
| |
|
|
|
Mark 1:4
|
|
John the Baptist appeared in the wilderness
preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. |
| |
|
|
|
Mark 1:5
|
|
And all the country of Judea was going out to
him, and all the people of Jerusalem; and they were being baptized by him in the
Jordan River, confessing their sins. |
| |
|
|
|
Mark 1:6
|
|
John was clothed with camel's hair and wore
a leather belt around his waist, and his diet was locusts and wild honey. |
| |
|
|
|
Mark 1:7
|
|
And he was preaching, and saying, "After me
One is coming who is mightier than I, and I am not fit to stoop down and untie
the thong of His sandals. |
|
|
|
|
Mark 1:8
|
|
I baptized you with water; but He will baptize
you with the Holy Spirit." |
| |
|
|
| |
|
The Baptism of Jesus |
|
|
|
|
Mark 1:9
|
|
In those days Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee
and was baptized by John in the Jordan. |
|
|
|
|
Mark 1:10
|
|
Immediately coming up out of the water, He
saw the heavens opening, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon Him; |
|
|
|
|
Mark 1:11
|
|
and a voice came out of the heavens: "You are
My beloved Son, in You I am well-pleased." |
|
|
|
|
Mark 1:12
|
|
Immediately the Spirit *impelled
Him to go out into the wilderness. |
|
|
|
|
Mark 1:13
|
|
And He was in the wilderness forty days being
tempted by Satan; and He was with the wild beasts, and the angels were ministering
to Him. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
Jesus Preaches in Galilee |
|
|
|
|
Mark 1:14
|
|
Now after John had been taken into custody,
Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God, |
|
|
|
|
Mark 1:15
|
|
and saying, "The time
is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel." |
|
|
|
|
Mark 1:16
|
|
As He was going along by the Sea of Galilee,
He saw Simon and Andrew, the brother of Simon, casting a net in the sea; for they
were fishermen. |
|
|
|
|
Mark 1:17
|
|
And Jesus said to them, "Follow
Me, and I will make you become fishers of men." |
|
|
|
|
Mark 1:18
|
|
Immediately they left their nets and followed
Him. |
|
|
|
|
Mark 1:19
|
|
Going on a little farther, He saw James the
son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who were also in the boat mending the nets. |
| |
|
|
|
Mark 1:20
|
|
Immediately He called them; and they left their
father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, and went away to follow Him. |
| |
|
|
|
Mark 1:21
|
|
They *went
into Capernaum; and immediately on the Sabbath He entered the synagogue and began
to teach. |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 1:22
|
|
They were amazed at His teaching; for He was
teaching them as one having authority, and not as the scribes. |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 1:23
|
|
Just then there was a man in their synagogue
with an unclean spirit; and he cried out, |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 1:24
|
|
saying, "What business do we have with each
other, Jesus of Nazareth? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are-the
Holy One of God!" |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 1:25
|
|
And Jesus rebuked him, saying, "Be
quiet, and come out of him!" |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 1:26
|
|
Throwing him into convulsions, the unclean spirit
cried out with a loud voice and came out of him. |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 1:27
|
|
They were all amazed, so that they debated among
themselves, saying, "What is this? A new teaching with authority! He commands
even the unclean spirits, and they obey Him." |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 1:28
|
|
Immediately the news about Him spread everywhere
into all the surrounding district of Galilee. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
Crowds Healed |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 1:29
|
|
And immediately after they came out of the synagogue,
they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 1:30
|
|
Now Simon's mother-in-law was lying sick with
a fever; and immediately they *spoke
to Jesus about her. |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 1:31
|
|
And He came to her and raised her up, taking
her by the hand, and the fever left her, and she waited on them. |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 1:32
|
|
When evening came, after the sun had set, they
began bringing to Him all who were ill and those who were demon-possessed. |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 1:33
|
|
And the whole city had gathered at the door. |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 1:34
|
|
And He healed many who were ill with various
diseases, and cast out many demons; and He was not permitting the demons to speak,
because they knew who He was. |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 1:35
|
|
In the early morning, while it was still dark,
Jesus got up, left the house, and went away to a secluded place, and was praying
there. |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 1:36
|
|
Simon and his companions searched for Him; |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 1:37
|
|
they found Him, and *said
to Him, "Everyone is looking for You." |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 1:38
|
|
He *said
to them, "Let us go somewhere else to the towns nearby,
so that I may preach there also; for that is what I came for." |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 1:39
|
|
And He went into their synagogues throughout
all Galilee, preaching and casting out the demons. |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 1:40
|
|
And a leper *came
to Jesus, beseeching Him and falling on his knees before Him, and saying, "If
You are willing, You can make me clean." |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 1:41
|
|
Moved with compassion, Jesus stretched out His
hand and touched him, and *said
to him, "I am willing; be cleansed." |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 1:42
|
|
Immediately the leprosy left him and he was
cleansed. |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 1:43
|
|
And He sternly warned him and immediately sent
him away, |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 1:44
|
|
and He *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, as a
testimony to them." |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 1:45
|
|
But he went out and began to proclaim it freely
and to spread the news around, to such an extent that Jesus could no longer publicly
enter a city, but stayed out in unpopulated areas; and they were coming to Him
from everywhere. |
