The beginning of the gospel
of Jesus
Christ
, the Son
of God
;
As it is written
in
the prophets
, Behold
, I
send
my
messenger
before
thy
face
, which
shall prepare
thy
way
before
thee
.
The voice of one crying
in
the wilderness
, Prepare ye
the way
of the Lord
, make
his
paths
straight
.
John did
baptize
in
the wilderness
, and
preach
the baptism
of repentance
for
the remission
of sins
.
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
.
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
;
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
.
I indeed
have baptized
you
with
water
: but
he
shall baptize
you
with
the Holy
Ghost
.
And it came to pass
in
those
days
, that Jesus
came
from
Nazareth
of Galilee
, and
was baptized
of
John
in
Jordan
.
And straightway
coming up
out of
the water
, he saw
the heavens
opened
, and
the Spirit
like
a dove
descending
upon
him
:
And there came
a voice
from
heaven
, saying , Thou
art
my
beloved
Son
, in
whom
I am well pleased
.
And immediately
the Spirit
driveth
him
into
the wilderness
.
And he was
there
in
the wilderness
forty
days
, tempted
of
Satan
; and
was
with
the wild beasts
; and
the angels
ministered
unto him
.
Now after
that John
was put in prison
, Jesus
came
into
Galilee
, preaching
the gospel
of the kingdom
of God
,
And saying
,
The time
is fulfilled
, and
the kingdom
of God
is at hand
: repent ye
, and
believe
the gospel
.
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
.
And Jesus
said
unto them
, Come ye
after
me
, and
I will make
you
to become
fishers
of men
.
And straightway
they forsook
their
nets
, and followed
him
.
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
.
And straightway
he called
them
: and
they left
their
father
Zebedee
in
the ship
with
the hired servants
, and went
after
him
.
And they went
into
Capernaum
; and
straightway
on the sabbath day
he entered
into
the synagogue
, and taught
.
And they were astonished
at
his
doctrine
: for
he taught
them
as
one that had
authority
, and
not
as
the scribes
.
And there was
in
their
synagogue
a man
with
an unclean
spirit
; and
he cried out
,
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
.
And Jesus
rebuked
him
, saying
, Hold thy peace
, and
come
out of
him
.
And when the unclean
spirit
had torn
him
, and
cried
with a loud
voice
, he came
out of
him
.
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
.
And immediately
his
fame
spread abroad
throughout
all
the region round about
Galilee
.
And forthwith
, when they were come
out of
the synagogue
, they entered
into
the house
of Simon
and
Andrew
, with
James
and
John
.
But Simon's
wife's mother
lay
sick of a fever
, and
anon
they tell
him
of
her
.
And he came
and took
her
by the hand
, and lifted
her
up
; and
immediately
the fever
left
her
, and
she ministered
unto them
.
And at
even
, when
the sun
did set
, they brought
unto
him
all
that were
diseased
, and
them that were possessed with devils
.
And all
the city
was
gathered together
at
the door
.
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
.
And in the morning
, rising up
a great while
before day
, he went out
, and
departed
into
a solitary
place
, and there
prayed
.
And Simon
and
they that were with
him
followed after
him
.
And when they had found
him
, they said
unto him
,
All
men seek
for thee
.
And he said
unto them
, Let us go
into
the next
towns
, that
I may preach
there also
: for
therefore
came I forth
.
And he preached
in
their
synagogues
throughout
all
Galilee
, and
cast out
devils
.
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
.
And Jesus
, moved with compassion
, put forth
his hand
, and touched
him
, and
saith
unto him
, I will
; be thou clean
.
And as soon as he
had spoken
, immediately
the leprosy
departed
from
him
, and
he was cleansed
.
And he straitly charged
him
, and forthwith
sent
him
away
;
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
.
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
.
