1 The beginning of the good news about Jesus Christ, the Son of God,
2 As it is written in the prophets, "I send My messenger before Your Face, who shall prepare Your way before You.
3 The voice of one crying out in the wilderness, 'Prepare the way of the Lord; make His paths straight.'"
4 John baptized in the wilderness, and preached the baptism of a new mind for the release from bondage to, and pardon from sins.
5 And all the land of Judea and they of Jerusalem went out to him, and all were baptized by him in the River Jordan, confessing their sins.
6 And John was clothed with camel's hair and with a leather belt around his waist, and he ate locusts and wild honey,
7 and proclaimed with authority, saying, "One mightier than I comes after me, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and loosen.
8 I indeed have baptized you with water:, but He shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost.
9 In those days, Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John in Jordan.
10 And immediately coming up out of the water, he saw the Heavens opened and the Spirit, like a dove, descending on Him:
11 And a Voice from Heaven came, saying, "You are  My beloved Son, in Whom I am well pleased."
12 And immediately the Spirit drove Him into the wilderness.
13 And He was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted by Satan and was with the wild beasts, and the angels served Him.
14 Now after John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee proclaiming the good news of the Kingdom of God with authority,
15 and saying, "The time is fulfilled, and the Kingdom of God is at hand; have a new mind, and  believe the good news.
16 Now as Jesus walked by the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen.
17 And Jesus said to them, "Come follow Me and I will make you become fishers of men.
18 And they immediately forsook their nets and followed Him.
19 And when He had gone a little further from there, He saw James the son of Zebedee and John his brother who also were in the ship mending their nets.
20 And He immediately called them, and they left their father, Zebedee, in the ship with the hired servants and went after Him.
21 And they went into Capernaum, and immediately, on the Sabbath Day, Jesus entered into the synagogue and taught.
22 And they were astonished at His doctrine, for He taught them as One Who had authority and not as the scribes.
23 And in their synagogue there was a man with an unclean spirit, and he cried out,
24 saying, "Let us alone; what have we to do with You, You Jesus of Nazareth?  Have You come to destroy us?  I know You Who You are, the Holy One of God.
25 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, "Be silent and come out of him."
26 And, when the unclean spirit had shaken him and cried out with a loud voice, he came out of him.
27 And they were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, "What is this? What new doctrine is this? For He even commands the unclean spirits with authority, and they obey Him.
28 And immediately His fame spread throughout all the region on every side of Galilee.
29 And immediately, when they had come out of the synagogue, they entered into the house of Simon and Andrew with James and John.
30 But Simon's wife's mother was lying down, sick with a fever, and immediately they told Him about her.
31 And He came and took her by the hand and lifted her up, and immediately the fever left her and she served them.
32 And in the evening, when the Sun had set, they brought all that were diseased and those who were possessed with devils to Him.
33 In fact, the entire city was gathered together at the door.
34 And He healed many who were sick with various diseases and cast out many devils and didn't allow the devils to speak because they knew Him.
35 And in the morning, rising up a long before day, He went out and departed into a solitary place and prayed there.
36 And Simon and those who were with him followed Him.
37 And when they had found Him, they said to Him, "Everyone is looking for You."
38 And He said to them, "Let us go into the other towns so that I may proclaim there also for I have come out for this."
39 And He proclaimed with authority in their synagogues throughout all Galilee and cast out devils.
40 And a leper came to Him, begging Him and kneeling down to Him and saying to Him, "If You will, You can completely purify me."
41 And Jesus, moved with compassion, put out His Hand and touched him and said to him, "I will; be pure."
42 And as soon as He had spoken, immediately the leprosy left him, and he was purified."
43 And he sternly admonished him, and immediately sent him away
44 and said to him, "See that you say nothing to anyone, but go your way, show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing those things which Moses commanded for a testimony to them."
45 But the man went out and began to proclaim it a lot and to spread the utterance so that Jesus couldn't openly enter into the city any more but was outside in deserted places, and they came to Him from all directions.
