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 A beginning of the good news of Jesus Christ, Son of God.
2 As it hath been written in the prophets, `Lo, I send My messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee,` --
3 `A voice of one calling in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, straight make ye his paths,` --
4 John came baptizing in the wilderness, and proclaiming a baptism of reformation -- to remission of sins,
5 and there were going forth to him all the region of Judea, and they of Jerusalem, and they were all baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.
6 And John was clothed with camel`s hair, and a girdle of skin around his loins, and eating locusts and honey of the field,
7 and he proclaimed, saying, `He doth come -- who is mightier than I -- after me, of whom I am not worthy -- having stooped down -- to loose the latchet of his sandals;
8 I indeed did baptize you with water, but he shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit.`
9 And it came to pass in those days, Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John at the Jordan;
10 and immediately coming up from the water, he saw the heavens dividing, and the Spirit as a dove coming down upon him;
11 and a voice came out of the heavens, `Thou art My Son -- the Beloved, in whom I did delight.`
12 And immediately doth the Spirit put him forth to the wilderness,
13 and he was there in the wilderness forty days, being tempted by the Adversary, and he was with the beasts, and the messengers were ministering to him.
14 And after the delivering up of John, Jesus came to Galilee, proclaiming the good news of the reign of God,
15 and saying -- `Fulfilled hath been the time, and the reign of God hath come nigh, reform ye, and believe in the good news.`
16 And, walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon, and Andrew his brother, casting a drag into the sea, for they were fishers,
17 and Jesus said to them, `Come ye after me, and I shall make you to become fishers of men;`
18 and immediately, having left their nets, they followed him.
19 And having gone on thence a little, he saw James of Zebedee, and John his brother, and they were in the boat refitting the nets,
20 and immediately he called them, and, having left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, they went away after him.
21 And they go on to Capernaum, and immediately, on the sabbaths, having gone into the synagogue, he was teaching,
22 and they were astonished at his teaching, for he was teaching them as having authority, and not as the scribes.
23 And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit, and he cried out,
24 saying, `Away! what -- to us and to thee, Jesus the Nazarene? thou didst come to destroy us; I have known thee who thou art -- the Holy One of God.`
25 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, `Be silenced, and come forth out of him,`
26 and the unclean spirit having torn him, and having cried with a great voice, came forth out of him,
27 and they were all amazed, so as to reason among themselves, saying, `What is this? what new teaching [is] this? that with authority also the unclean spirits he commandeth, and they obey him!`
28 And the fame of him went forth immediately to all the region, round about, of Galilee.
29 And immediately, having come forth out of the synagogue, they went to the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John,
30 and the mother-in-law of Simon was lying fevered, and immediately they tell him about her,
31 and having come near, he raised her up, having laid hold of her hand, and the fever left her immediately, and she was ministering to them.
32 And evening having come, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all who were ill, and who were demoniacs,
33 and the whole city was gathered together near the door,
34 and he healed many who were ill of manifold diseases, and many demons he cast forth, and was not suffering the demons to speak, because they knew him.
35 And very early, it being yet night, having risen, he went forth, and went away to a desert place, and was there praying;
36 and Simon and those with him went in quest of him,
37 and having found him, they say to him, -- `All do seek thee;`
38 and he saith to them, `We may go to the next towns, that there also I may preach, for for this I came forth.`
39 And he was preaching in their synagogues, in all Galilee, and is casting out the demons,
40 and there doth come to him a leper, calling on him, and kneeling to him, and saying to him -- `If thou mayest will, thou art able to cleanse me.`
41 And Jesus having been moved with compassion, having stretched forth the hand, touched him, and saith to him, `I will; be thou cleansed;`
42 and he having spoken, immediately the leprosy went away from him, and he was cleansed.
43 And having sternly charged him, immediately he put him forth,
44 and saith to him, `See thou mayest say nothing to any one, but go away, thyself shew to the priest, and bring near for thy cleansing the things Moses directed, for a testimony to them.`
45 And he, having gone forth, began to proclaim much, and to spread abroad the thing, so that no more he was able openly to enter into the city, but he was without in desert places, and they were coming unto him from every quarter.
