1 Princípio do Evangelho de Jesus Cristo, Filho de Deus;

2 Como está escrito nos profetas: Eis que eu envio o meu anjo ante a tua face, o qual preparará o teu caminho diante de ti.

3 Voz do que clama no deserto: Preparai o caminho do Senhor, Endireitai as suas veredas.

4 Apareceu João batizando no deserto, e pregando o batismo de arrependimento, para remissão dos pecados.

5 E toda a província da Judéia e os de Jerusalém iam ter com ele; e todos eram batizados por ele no rio Jordão, confessando os seus pecados.

6 E João andava vestido de pêlos de camelo, e com um cinto de couro em redor de seus lombos, e comia gafanhotos e mel silvestre.

7 E pregava, dizendo: Após mim vem aquele que é mais forte do que eu, do qual não sou digno de, abaixando-me, desatar a correia das suas alparcas.

8 Eu, em verdade, tenho-vos batizado com água; ele, porém, vos batizará com o Espírito Santo.

9 E aconteceu naqueles dias que Jesus, tendo ido de Nazaré da Galiléia, foi batizado por João, no Jordão.

10 E, logo que saiu da água, viu os céus abertos, e o Espírito, que como pomba descia sobre ele.

11 E ouviu-se uma voz dos céus, que dizia: Tu és o meu Filho amado em quem me comprazo.

12 E logo o Espírito o impeliu para o deserto.

13 E ali esteve no deserto quarenta dias, tentado por Satanás. E vivia entre as feras, e os anjos o serviam.

14 E, depois que João foi entregue à prisão, veio Jesus para a Galiléia, pregando o evangelho do reino de Deus,

15 E dizendo: O tempo está cumprido, e o reino de Deus está próximo. Arrependei-vos, e crede no evangelho.

16 E, andando junto do mar da Galiléia, viu Simão, e André, seu irmão, que lançavam a rede ao mar, pois eram pescadores.

17 E Jesus lhes disse: Vinde após mim, e eu farei que sejais pescadores de homens.

18 E, deixando logo as suas redes, o seguiram.

19 E, passando dali um pouco mais adiante, viu Tiago, filho de Zebedeu, e João, seu irmão, que estavam no barco consertando as redes,

20 E logo os chamou. E eles, deixando o seu pai Zebedeu no barco com os jornaleiros, foram após ele.

21 Entraram em Cafarnaum e, logo no sábado, indo ele à sinagoga, ali ensinava.

22 E maravilharam-se da sua doutrina, porque os ensinava como tendo autoridade, e não como os escribas.

23 E estava na sinagoga deles um homem com um espírito imundo, o qual exclamou,

24 Dizendo: Ah! que temos contigo, Jesus Nazareno? Vieste destruir-nos? Bem sei quem és: o Santo de Deus.

25 E repreendeu-o Jesus, dizendo: Cala-te, e sai dele.

26 Então o espírito imundo, convulsionando-o, e clamando com grande voz, saiu dele.

27 E todos se admiraram, a ponto de perguntarem entre si, dizendo: Que é isto? Que nova doutrina é esta? Pois com autoridade ordena aos espíritos imundos, e eles lhe obedecem!

28 E logo correu a sua fama por toda a província da Galiléia.

29 E logo, saindo da sinagoga, foram à casa de Simão e de André com Tiago e João.

30 E a sogra de Simão estava deitada com febre; e logo lhe falaram dela.

31 Então, chegando-se a ela, tomou-a pela mão, e levantou-a; e imediatamente a febre a deixou, e servia-os.

32 E, tendo chegado a tarde, quando já se estava pondo o sol, trouxeram-lhe todos os que se achavam enfermos, e os endemoninhados.

33 E toda a cidade se ajuntou à porta.

34 E curou muitos que se achavam enfermos de diversas enfermidades, e expulsou muitos demônios, porém não deixava falar os demônios, porque o conheciam.

35 E, levantando-se de manhã, muito cedo, fazendo ainda escuro, saiu, e foi para um lugar deserto, e ali orava.

36 E seguiram-no Simão e os que com ele estavam.

37 E, achando-o, lhe disseram: Todos te buscam.

38 E ele lhes disse: Vamos às aldeias vizinhas, para que eu ali também pregue; porque para isso vim.

39 E pregava nas sinagogas deles, por toda a Galiléia, e expulsava os demônios.

40 E aproximou-se dele um leproso que, rogando-lhe, e pondo-se de joelhos diante dele, lhe dizia: Se queres, bem podes limpar-me.

41 E Jesus, movido de grande compaixão, estendeu a mão, e tocou-o, e disse-lhe: Quero, sê limpo.

42 E, tendo ele dito isto, logo a lepra desapareceu, e ficou limpo.

43 E, advertindo-o severamente, logo o despediu.

44 E disse-lhe: Olha, não digas nada a ninguém; porém vai, mostra-te ao sacerdote, e oferece pela tua purificação o que Moisés determinou, para lhes servir de testemunho.

45 Mas, tendo ele saído, começou a apregoar muitas coisas, e a divulgar o que acontecera; de sorte que Jesus já não podia entrar publicamente na cidade, mas conservava-se fora em lugares desertos; e de todas as partes iam ter com ele.

1 The first words of the good news of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

2 Even as it is said in the book of Isaiah the prophet, See, I send my servant before your face, who will make ready your way;

3 The voice of one crying in the waste land, Make ready the way of the Lord, make his roads straight;

4 John came, and gave baptism in the waste land, preaching baptism as a sign of forgiveness of sin for those whose hearts were changed.

5 And there went out to him all the people of Judaea, and all those of Jerusalem, and they were given baptism by him in the river Jordan, saying that they were sinners.

6 And John was clothed in camel's hair, with a leather band about him; and his food was locusts and honey.

7 And he said to them all, There is one coming after me who is greater than I, whose shoes I am not good enough to undo.

8 I have given you baptism with water, but he will give you baptism with the Holy Spirit.

9 And it came about in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was given baptism by John in the Jordan.

10 And straight away, coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens broken open and the Spirit coming down on him as a dove:

11 And a voice came out of heaven, You are my dearly loved Son, with whom I am well pleased.

12 And straight away the Spirit sent him out into the waste land.

13 And he was in the waste land for forty days, being tested by Satan; and he was with the beasts; and the angels took care of him.

14 Now after John had been put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the good news of God,

15 And saying, The time has come, and the kingdom of God is near: let your hearts be turned from sin and have faith in the good news.

16 And going by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon, and Andrew, the brother of Simon, putting a net into the sea: for they were fishermen.

17 And Jesus said to them, Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.

18 And they went straight from their nets, and came after him.

19 And going on a little farther, he saw James, the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who were in their boat stitching up their nets.

20 And he said, Come after me: and they went away from their father Zebedee, who was in the boat with the servants, and came after him.

21 And they came to Capernaum; and on the Sabbath he went into the Synagogue and gave teaching.

22 And they were full of wonder at his teaching, because he gave it as one having authority, and not like the scribes.

23 And there was in their Synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he gave a cry,

24 Saying, What have we to do with you, Jesus of Nazareth? have you come to put an end to us? I see well who you are, the Holy One of God.

25 And Jesus said to him sharply, Be quiet, and come out of him.

26 And the unclean spirit, shaking him violently, and crying with a loud voice, came out of him.

27 And they were all greatly surprised, so that they put questions to one another, saying, What is this? a new teaching! with authority he gives orders even to the unclean spirits, and they do what he says.

28 And news of him went out quickly everywhere into all parts of Galilee round about.

29 And when they came out of the Synagogue, they went into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.

30 Now Simon's wife's mother was ill, with a burning heat; and they gave him word of her:

31 And he came and took her by the hand, lifting her up; and she became well, and took care of their needs.

32 And in the evening, at sundown, they took to him all who were diseased, and those who had evil spirits.

33 And all the town had come together at the door.

34 And a number, who were ill with different diseases, he made well, and sent out evil spirits; but he did not let the evil spirits say anything, because they had knowledge of him.

35 And in the morning, a long time before daylight, he got up and went out to a quiet place, and there he gave himself up to prayer.

36 And Simon and those who were with him came after him.

37 And when they came up with him, they said to him, Everyone is looking for you.

38 And he said to them, Let us go to other parts into the nearest towns, so that I may give teaching there, because for this purpose I came.

39 And he went into their Synagogues in every part of Galilee, preaching and driving out evil spirits.

40 And a leper came to him and, going down on his knees before him, made a request, saying, If it is your pleasure, you have the power to make me clean.

41 And being moved with pity, he put out his hand, and touching him said to him, It is my pleasure; be made clean.

42 And straight away the disease went from him, and he was made clean.

43 And he sent him away, saying to him very sharply,

44 See that you say nothing to any man: but go and let the priest see you, and make yourself clean by an offering of the things ordered by Moses, for a witness to them.

45 But he went out, and made it public, giving an account of it everywhere, so that Jesus was no longer able to go openly into a town, but was outside in the waste land; and they came to him from every part.
