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 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.
