1 This is the good news about Jesus Christ, the Son of God.1.1 the Son of God: These words are not in some manuscripts.2 Ml 3.1.It began just as God had said in the book written by Isaiahthe prophet,
"I am sending my messenger
to get the way ready
for you.
3 Is 40.3 (LXX).In the desert
someone is shouting,
‘Get the road ready
for the Lord!
Make a straight path
for him.’ "
4 So Johnthe Baptist showed up in the desert and told everyone, "Turn back to God and be baptized! Then your sins will be forgiven."
5 From all Judeaand Jerusalemcrowds of people went to John. They told how sorry they were for their sins, and he baptized them in the Jordan River.
6 2 K 1.8.Johnwore clothes made of camel’s hair. He had a leather strap around his waist and ate grasshoppers and wild honey.
7 John also told the people, "Someone more powerful is going to come. And I am not good enough even to stoop down and untie his sandals.1.7 untie his sandals: This was the duty of a slave.8 I baptize you with water, but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit!"
9 About that time Jesuscame from Nazarethin Galilee, and John baptized him in the Jordan River. 10 As soon as Jesus came out of the water, he saw the sky open and the Holy Spirit coming down to him like a dove. 11 Gn 22.2;Ps 2.7;Is 42.1;Mt 3.17;12.18;Mk 9.7;Lk 3.22.A voice from heaven said, "You are my own dear Son, and I am pleased with you."
12 At once God’s Spirit made Jesus go into the desert. 13 He stayed there for 40 days while Satan tested him. Jesus was with the wild animals, but angels took care of him.
14 After Johnwas arrested, Jesuswent to Galileeand told the good news that comes from God.1.14 that comes from God: Or "that is about God."15 Mt 3.2.He said, "The time has come! God’s kingdom will soon be here.1.15 will soon be here: Or "is already here."Turn back to God and believe the good news!"
16 As Jesus was walking along the shore of Lake Galilee, he saw Simonand his brother Andrew. They were fishermen and were casting their nets into the lake. 17 Jesussaid to them, "Follow me! I will teach you how to bring in people instead of fish." 18 Right then the two brothers dropped their nets and went with him.
19 Jesus walked on and soon saw Jamesand John, the sons of Zebedee. They were in a boat, mending their nets. 20 At once Jesus asked them to come with him. They left their father in the boat with the hired workers and went with him.
21 Jesus and his disciples went to the town of Capernaum. Then on the next Sabbath he went into the synagogue and started teaching. 22 Mt 7.28,29.Everyone was amazed at his teaching. He taught with authority, and not like the teachers of the Law of Moses. 23 Suddenly a man with an evil spirit1.23 evil spirit: A Jewish person who had an evil spirit was considered "unclean" and was not allowed to eat or worship with other Jewish people.in him entered the synagogue and yelled, 24 "Jesus from Nazareth, what do you want with us? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are! You are God’s Holy One."
25 Jesustold the evil spirit, "Be quiet and come out of the man!" 26 The spirit shook him. Then it gave a loud shout and left.
27 Everyone was completely surprised and kept saying to each other, "What is this? It must be some new kind of powerful teaching! Even the evil spirits obey him." 28 News about Jesus quickly spread all over Galilee.
29 As soon as Jesus left the synagogue with Jamesand John, they went home with Simonand Andrew. 30 When they got there, Jesuswas told that Simon’s mother-in-law was sick in bed with fever. 31 Jesus went to her. He took hold of her hand and helped her up. The fever left her, and she served them a meal.
32 That evening after sunset,1.32 after sunset: The Sabbath was over, and a new day began at sunset.all who were sick or had demons in them were brought to Jesus. 33 In fact, the whole town gathered around the door of the house. 34 Jesus healed all kinds of terrible diseases and forced out a lot of demons. But the demons knew who he was, and he did not let them speak.
35 Very early the next morning before daylight, Jesusgot up and went to a place where he could be alone and pray. 36 Simonand the others started looking for him. 37 And when they found him, they said, "Everyone is looking for you!"
38 Jesus replied, "We must go to the nearby towns, so that I can tell the good news to those people. This is why I have come." 39 Mt 4.23;9.35.Then Jesus went to their synagogues everywhere in Galilee, where he preached and forced out demons.
40 A man with leprosy1.40 leprosy: In biblical times the word "leprosy" was used for many different kinds of skin diseases.came to Jesusand knelt down.1.40 and knelt down: These words are not in some manuscripts.He begged, "You have the power to make me well, if only you wanted to."
41 Jesusfelt sorry for1.41 felt sorry for: Some manuscripts have "was angry with."the man. So he put his hand on him and said, "I want to! Now you are well." 42 At once the man’s leprosy disappeared, and he was well.
43 After Jesus strictly warned the man, he sent him on his way. 44 Lv 14.1-32.He said, "Don’t tell anyone about this. Just go and show the priest that you are well. Then take a gift to the temple as Mosescommanded, and everyone will know that you have been healed."1.44 everyone will know that you have been healed: People with leprosy had to be examined by a priest and told that they were well (that is, "clean") before they could once again live a normal life in the Jewish community. The gift that Moses commanded was the sacrifice of some lambs together with flour mixed with olive oil.
45 The man talked about it so much and told so many people, that Jesuscould no longer go openly into a town. He had to stay away from the towns, but people still came to him from everywhere.
