Mark Chapter 1

            1:1The beginning of-the gospel of-Jesus Messiah, (the) Son of-God.

            2 Even-as it-is-written in [the] Isaiah the prophet,

                        “Behold, I-will-sent the messenger of-me before (the) face of-you,

                                    who will-thoroughly-prepared the way of-you,       

                        3 (the) voice of-one-calling-out in the desert,

‘Prepare the way of-(the)-Lord;

                                    make the paths of-him straight.’”

            4 John came baptizing in the desert and preaching (a) baptism of-repentance for remission of-sins. 5 And all [the] Judaea country and all the Jerusalemites were-going-out to him, and were-being-baptized by him in the Jordan River, confessing the sins of-them; 6 and [the] John was dressed-in hair[s] of-(a)-camel, and (a) leather belt (was) around the waist of-him, and (he was) eating locusts and wild/field honey.

 7 And he-was-preaching, saying, “[The] One stronger than I is-coming after me, of-whom I-am not worthy, having-stooped-down, to-loosen the/a strap of-the sandals of-him. 8 I baptized you with-water, but he will-baptize you with (the) Holy Spirit.”

            9 And it-happened in those [the] days (that) Jesus came from Nazareth of-[the] Galilee and was-baptized in the Jordan by John. 10 And immediately, coming-up out-of the water, he-saw the skies being-divided and the Spirit like (a) dove descending on him. 11 And (a) voice came out-of the skies, “You are the beloved [the] Son of-me; in you I-delighted.”

            12 And immediately the Spirit takes┘(him)└out into the desert. 13 And he-was in the desert for-forty days, being-tested by [the] Satan; and he-was with the wild-animals, and [the] angels were-ministering to-him.

            14 And after [the] John’s [the] being-put-in-prison, [the] Jesus went into [the] Galilee, preaching the gospel of-[the] God, 15 and saying, [that], “The time is-fulfilled, and the kingdom of-[the] God has-come-near. Repent and believe in the gospel.”

            16 And passing along the Sea of-[the] Galilee, he-saw Simon and Andrew the brother of-Simon, casting-nets in the sea, for they-were fishermen. 17 And [the] Jesus said to-them, “Come after me, and I-will-make you to-become fishermen of-men.” 18 And immediately having-left the/their nets, they-followed him. 19 And having-gone-forward, he-saw James the (son) of-[the] Zebedee and John the brother of-him, and them mending [the] nets in the boat. 20 And immediately he-called them; and having-left the father of-them, Zebedee, in the boat with the hired-hands, they-went-away after him.

            21 And they-enter into Capernaum and immediately on-the Sabbath[s], having-entered into the synagogue, he-began-to-teach. 22 And they-were-being-amazed at the teaching of-him, for he-was teaching then as one-having authority, and not like the scribes. 23 And immediately in the synagogue of-them was (a) man with (an) unclean spirit; and it-shouted-out, 24 saying, “What to-us and to-you, Jesus Nazarene? Did-you-come to-destroy us? I-know you who you-are—the Holy One of-[the] God!”

25 And [the] Jesus rebuked it, saying, “Be-quiet, and come-out of him.”

26 And the unclean [the] spirit, having-convulsed him and having-cried-out with (a) loud noise, came out-of him. 27 And they┘all└were-shocked, so-that they-debated with each-other, saying, “What is this? A new teaching according-to authority? Even the unclean [the] spirits he-commands, and they-obey him.” 28 And the report of-him went-out immediately everywhere in the whole region of-[the] Galilee.

            29 And immediately, having-gone-out from the synagogue, they-went into the house of-Simon and Andrew with James and John. 30 And the mother-in-law of-Simon was-lying-down, having-(a)-fever, and immediately they-speak to-him concerning her. 31 And having-come-to (her), he-raised┘her└up, having-taken hold of-the/her hand; and the fever left her, and she-started serving them. 32 And evening having-come, when the sun set, they-were-bringing to him all the-ones having evilly and the-ones being-demon-possessed. 33 And the whole town was gathered to the door, 34 and he-healed all having evilly with-various diseases; and he-cast-out many demons, and he-would not allow the demons to-speak because they-knew him.

            35 And very early before dawn, he-went-out and he-went-away into (an) unpopulated place and-there he-was-praying. 36 And Simon and the-ones with him searched-for him; 37 and they-found him and said to-him [that], “All are looking-for you.”

38 And he-says to-them, “Let-us-go elsewhere into the surrounding towns in-order-that also there I-may-preach, for I-came-out unto this.”

39 And he-went preaching in the synagogues of-them in the whole (of) Galilee and casting-out demons.

            40 And (a) leper comes to him, appealing-to him, [and kneeling]ms and saying to-him [that], “If you-are-willing, you-are-able to-heal me.”

41 And having-been-moved-with-compassion, having-stretched/reached out the hand of-him, he-touched (him) and says to-him, “I-am-willing”; be-cleansed.”

42 And immediately the leprosy went-away from him, and he-was-cleansed. 43 And having-spoken-strictly to-him, he-sent┘him└out immediately. 44 And he-says to-him, “See (that) you-say nothing to-nobody/anybody, but go show yourself-to the priest and offer concerning the cleansing of-you what-things Moses commanded unto (a) testimony to-them.”

45 But the/he, having-gone-out, began to-tell all-things and to-spread┘the message└around, so-that him no-longer was-able openly to-enter into (a) town, but he-was outside in unpopulated places; and (people) would-come to him from everywhere.
