1 Princípio do evangelho de Jesus Cristo, Filho de Deus.
2 Conforme está escrito no profeta Isaías: Eis que envio ante a tua face o meu mensageiro, que há de preparar o teu caminho;
3 voz do que clama no deserto: Preparai o caminho do Senhor, endireitai as suas veredas;
4 assim apareceu João, o Batista, no deserto, pregando o batismo de arrependimento para remissão dos pecados.
5 E saíam a ter com ele toda a terra da Judéia, e todos os moradores de Jerusalém; e eram por ele batizados no rio Jordão, confessando os seus pecados.
6 Ora, João usava uma veste de pêlos de camelo, e um cinto de couro em torno de seus lombos, e comia gafanhotos e mel silvestre.
7 E pregava, dizendo: Após mim vem aquele que é mais poderoso do que eu, de quem não sou digno de, inclinando-me, desatar a correia das alparcas.
8 Eu vos batizei em água; ele, porém, vos batizará no Espírito Santo.
9 E aconteceu naqueles dias que veio Jesus de Nazaré da Galiléia, e foi batizado por João no Jordão.
10 E logo, quando saía da água, viu os céus se abrirem, e o Espírito, qual pomba, a descer sobre ele;
11 e ouviu-se dos céus esta voz: Tu és meu Filho amado; em ti me comprazo.
12 Imediatamente o Espírito o impeliu para o deserto.
13 E esteve no deserto quarenta dias sentado tentado por Satanás; estava entre as feras, e os anjos o serviam.
14 Ora, depois que João foi entregue, veio Jesus para a Galiléia pregando o evangelho de Deus
15 e dizendo: O tempo está cumprido, e é chegado o reino de Deus. Arrependei-vos, e crede no evangelho.
16 E, andando junto do mar da Galiléia, viu a Simão, e a André, irmão de Simão, os quais lançavam a rede ao mar, pois eram pescadores.
17 Disse-lhes Jesus: Vinde após mim, e eu farei que vos torneis pescadores de homens.
18 Então eles, deixando imediatamente as suas redes, o seguiram.
19 E ele, passando um pouco adiante, viu Tiago, filho de Zebedeu, e João, seu irmão, que estavam no barco, consertando as redes,
20 e logo os chamou; eles, deixando seu pai Zebedeu no barco com os empregados, o seguiram.
21 Entraram em Cafarnaum; e, logo no sábado, indo ele à sinagoga, pôs-se a ensinar.
22 E maravilhavam-se da sua doutrina, porque os ensinava como tendo autoridade, e não como os escribas.
23 Ora, estava na sinagoga um homem possesso dum espírito imundo, o qual gritou:
24 Que temos nós contigo, Jesus, nazareno? Vieste destruir-nos? Bem sei quem és: o Santo de Deus.
25 Mas Jesus o repreendeu, dizendo: Cala-te, e sai dele.
26 Então o espírito imundo, convulsionando-o e clamando com grande voz, saiu dele.
27 E todos se maravilharam a ponto de perguntarem entre si, dizendo: Que é isto? Uma nova doutrina com autoridade! Pois ele ordena aos espíritos imundos, e eles lhe obedecem!
28 E logo correu a sua fama por toda a região da Galiléia.
29 Em seguida, saiu da sinagoga e foi a casa de Simão e André com Tiago e João.
30 A sogra de Simão estava de cama com febre, e logo lhe falaram a respeito dela.
31 Então Jesus, chegando-se e tomando-a pela mão, a levantou; e a febre a deixou, e ela os servia.
32 Sendo já tarde, tendo-se posto o sol, traziam-lhe todos os enfermos, e os endemoninhados;
33 e toda a cidade estava reunida à porta;
34 e ele curou muitos doentes atacados de diversas moléstias, e expulsou muitos demônios; mas não permitia que os demônios falassem, porque o conheciam.
35 De madrugada, ainda bem escuro, levantou-se, saiu e foi a um lugar deserto, e ali orava.
36 Foram, pois, Simão e seus companheiros procurá-lo;
37 quando o encontraram, disseram-lhe: Todos te buscam.
38 Respondeu-lhes Jesus: Vamos a outras partes, às povoações vizinhas, para que eu pregue ali também; pois para isso é que vim.
39 Foi, então, por toda a Galiléia, pregando nas sinagogas deles e expulsando os demônios.
40 E veio a ele um leproso que, de joelhos, lhe rogava, dizendo: Se quiseres, bem podes tornar-me limpo.
41 Jesus, pois, compadecido dele, estendendo a mão, tocou-o e disse-lhe: Quero; sê limpo.
42 Imediatamente desapareceu dele a lepra e ficou limpo.
43 E Jesus, advertindo-o secretamente, logo o despediu,
44 dizendo-lhe: Olha, não digas nada a ninguém; mas vai, mostra-te ao sacerdote e oferece pela tua purificação o que Moisés determinou, para lhes servir de testemunho.
45 Ele, porém, saindo dali, começou a publicar o caso por toda parte e a divulgá-lo, de modo que Jesus já não podia entrar abertamente numa cidade, mas conservava-se fora em lugares desertos; e de todos os lados iam ter com ele.
1 Beginning of the glad tidings of Jesus Christ, Son of God;
2 as it is written in {Isaiah} the prophet, Behold, *I* send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way.
3 Voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare the way of {the} Lord, make his paths straight.
4 There came John baptising in the wilderness, and preaching {the} baptism of repentance for remission of sins.
5 And there went out to him all the district of Judaea, and all they of Jerusalem, and were baptised by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.
6 And John was clothed in camel's hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins, and ate locusts and wild honey.
7 And he preached, saying, There comes he that is mightier than I after me, the thong of whose sandals I am not fit to stoop down and unloose.
8 *I* indeed have baptised you with water, but *he* shall baptise you with {the} Holy Spirit.
9 And it came to pass in those days {that} Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptised by John at the Jordan.
10 And straightway going up from the water, he saw the heavens parting asunder, and the Spirit, as a dove, descending upon him.
11 And there came a voice out of the heavens: *Thou* art my beloved Son, in thee I have found my delight.
12 And immediately the Spirit drives him out into the wilderness.
13 And he was in the wilderness forty days tempted by Satan, and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered to him.
14 But after John was delivered up, Jesus came into Galilee preaching the glad tidings of the kingdom of God,
15 and saying, The time is fulfilled and the kingdom of God has drawn nigh; repent and believe in the glad tidings.
16 And walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon, and Andrew, {Simon's} brother, casting out a net in the sea, for they were fishers.
17 And Jesus said to them, Come after me, and I will make you become fishers of men;
18 and straightway leaving their trawl-nets they followed him.
19 And going on thence a little, he saw James the {son} of Zebedee, and John his brother, and these {were} in the ship repairing the trawl-nets;
20 and straightway he called them; and leaving their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants, they went away after him.
21 And they go into Capernaum. And straightway on the sabbath he entered into the synagogue and taught.
22 And they were astonished at his doctrine, for he taught them as having authority, and not as the scribes.
23 And there was in their synagogue a man {possessed} by an unclean spirit, and he cried out
24 saying, Eh! what have we to do with thee, Jesus, Nazarene? Art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the holy one of God.
25 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace and come out of him.
26 And the unclean spirit, having torn him, and uttered a cry with a loud voice, came out of him.
27 And all were amazed, so that they questioned together among themselves, saying, What is this? what new doctrine is this? for with authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him.
28 And his fame went out straightway into the whole region of Galilee around.
29 And straightway going out of the synagogue, they came with James and John into the house of Simon and Andrew.
30 And the mother-in-law of Simon lay in a fever. And straightway they speak to him about her.
31 And he went up to {her} and raised her up, having taken her by the hand, and straightway the fever left her, and she served them.
32 But evening being come, when the sun had gone down, they brought to him all that were suffering, and those possessed by demons;
33 and the whole city was gathered together at the door.
34 And he healed many suffering from various diseases; and he cast out many demons, and did not suffer the demons to speak because they knew him.
35 And rising in the morning long before day, he went out and went away into a desert place, and there prayed.
36 And Simon and those with him went after him:
37 and having found him, they say to him, All seek thee.
38 And he says to them, Let us go elsewhere into the neighbouring country towns, that I may preach there also, for for this purpose am I come forth.
39 And he was preaching in their synagogues in the whole of Galilee, and casting out demons.
40 And there comes to him a leper, beseeching him, and falling on his knees to him, and saying to him, If thou wilt thou canst cleanse me.
41 But Jesus, moved with compassion, having stretched out his hand, touched him, and says to him, I will, be thou cleansed.
42 And as he spoke straightway the leprosy left him, and he was cleansed.
43 And having sharply charged him, he straightway sent him away,
44 and says to him, See thou say nothing to any one, but go, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing what Moses ordained, for a testimony to them.
45 But he, having gone forth, began to proclaim {it} much, and to spread the matter abroad, so that he could no longer enter openly into the city, but was without in desert places, and they came to him from every side.
