== The gospel of Jesus ==
 

[1] The beginning of the gospel of [[ Christ|Jesus Christ]], the [[Son of God]];

[2] As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare [[The Way|thy way]]<Ref name="hodos">{{3598}}</Ref> before thee.

[3] The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye [[the way]] of the Lord, make his paths<Ref name="tribos">{{5147}}</Ref> straight.

[4] [[John the Baptist|John did baptize]] in the wilderness, and preach the [[baptism]] of [[repentance]] for the remission<Ref name="aphesis">{{859}}</Ref> of [[sin]]s.

=== Priest of Parthia ===

[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, [[confess]]ing their [[sin]]s.

[6] And John was clothed with camel's hair, and with a girdle of a skin about his loins; and he did eat [[locust|locusts]] and wild honey;

=== Not worthy ===

[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.'''

[8] '''I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the [[Holy Ghost]].'''<Ref name="baptizewtr">{{baptizewtr}}</Ref>

[9] And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from ''[[Nazareth]]'' of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan.

== Out of the water ==

[10] And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him:

[11] And there came a voice from heaven, saying,<span style="color:red">''' Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.'''</span>

== The wilderness ==

[12] And immediately the Spirit driveth him into the wilderness.

[13] And he was there in the wilderness forty days, [[Temptations|tempted]] of [[Satan]]; and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto him.

== John in prison ==

[14] Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the [[kingdom of God]],

[15] And saying, <span style="color:red">'''The time is fulfilled, and the [[kingdom of God]] is at hand: [[repent]] ye, and believe the gospel.'''</span>

== Walked by the sea ==

[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.

[17] And Jesus said unto them, <span style="color:red">'''Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.'''</span>

[18] And straightway they forsook their nets, and followed him.

[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.

[20] And straightway he called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants, and went after him.

== Capernaum ==

[21] And they went into Capernaum; and straightway on the [[sabbath]] day he entered into the [[synagogue]], and taught.

[22] And they were astonished at [[Doctrine of Jesus|his doctrine]]: for he taught them as one that had authority<Ref name="exousia">{{1849}}</Ref>, and not as the [[scribe|scribes]].

=== Unclean spirit ===

[23] And there was in their [[synagogue]]  a man with an unclean<Ref name="akathartos">{{169}}</Ref> spirit; and he cried out,

[24] Saying, ''Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of [[Nazareth]]? art thou come to destroy<Ref name="apollumi">{{622}}</Ref> us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.''

[25] And Jesus rebuked<Ref name="epitimao">{{2008}}</Ref> him, saying, <span style="color:red">'''Hold thy peace, and come out of him.'''</span>

[26] And when the unclean spirit had torn<Ref name="sparasso">{{4682}}</Ref> him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him.

=== Amazed ===

[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<Ref name="exousia">{{1849}}</Ref> commandeth he even the unclean spirits, and they do obey him.'''

=== Fame spread ===

[28] And immediately his fame spread abroad throughout all the region round about Galilee.

[29] And forthwith, when they were come out of the [[synagogue]], they entered into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.

=== Simon's mother ===

[30] But Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever, and anon<Ref name="eutheos">{{2112}}</Ref>  they tell him of her.

[31] And he came and took her by the hand, and lifted her up; and immediately<Ref name="eutheos">{{2112}}</Ref>  the fever left her, and she ministered unto them.

[32] And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all that were diseased, and them that were possessed with devils.<Ref name="daimonizomai">{{1139}}</Ref> 

[33] And all the city was gathered together at the door.

[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.

=== In the morning ===

[35] And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.

[36] And Simon and they that were with him followed after him.

[37] And when they had found him, they said unto him, '''All men seek for thee.'''

[38] And he said unto them, <span style="color:red">'''Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also: for therefore came I forth.'''</span>

[39] And he preached in their [[synagogue]]s throughout all Galilee, and cast out devils.

== A leper ==

[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.'''

[41] And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean.

[42] And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed.

[43] And he straitly charged him, and forthwith sent him away;

[44] And saith unto him, <span style="color:red">'''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.'''</span>

[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.<br>
