1 Počátek evangelium Ježíše Krista, Syna Božího;

2 Jakož psáno jest v Prorocích: Aj, já posílám anděla svého před tváří tvou, kterýž připraví cestu tvou před tebou.

3 Hlas volajícího na poušti: Připravujte cestu Páně, přímé čiňte stezky jeho.

4 Křtil Jan na poušti a kázal křest pokání na odpuštění hříchů.

5 I vycházeli k němu ze vší krajiny Židovské i Jeruzalémští, a křtili se od něho všickni v Jordáně řece, vyznávajíce hříchy své.

6 Byl pak Jan odín srstmi velbloudovými, a pás kožený na bedrách jeho, a jídal kobylky a med lesní.

7 A kázal, řka: Za mnou jde silnější mne, kteréhožto nejsem hoden, sehna se, rozvázati řeménka u obuvi jeho.

8 Já zajisté křtil jsem vás vodou, ale onť vás křtíti bude Duchem svatým.

9 I stalo se v těch dnech, přišel Ježíš z Nazarétu Galilejského, a pokřtěn jest v Jordáně od Jana.

10 A hned vystoupě z vody, uzřel nebesa otevřená a Ducha jakožto holubici, sstupujícího na něj.

11 A hlas stal se s nebe: Ty jsi ten můj milý Syn, v němž mi se dobře zalíbilo.

12 A ihned ho Duch vypudil na poušť.

13 I byl tam na poušti čtyřidceti dnů, a pokoušín byl od satana; a byl s zvěří, a andělé přisluhovali jemu.

14 Když pak byl vsazen Jan do žaláře, přišel Ježíš do Galilee, zvěstuje evangelium království Božího,

15 Pravě: Že se naplnil čas, a přiblížilo se království Boží. Čiňte pokání, a věřte evangelium.

16 A chodě podle moře Galilejského, uzřel Šimona a Ondřeje bratra jeho, ani pouštějí síti do moře, nebo rybáři byli.

17 I řekl jim Ježíš: Pojďte za mnou, a učiním vás rybáře lidí.

18 A oni hned opustivše síti své, šli za ním.

19 A pošed odtud maličko, uzřel Jakuba Zebedeova, a Jana bratra jeho, kteříž také byli na lodí tvrdíce síti své;

20 A hned povolal jich. A oni opustivše otce svého Zebedea na lodí s pacholky, šli za ním.

21 I vešli do Kafarnaum. A hned v sobotu šel Ježíš do školy, a učil.

22 I divili se náramně učení jeho; nebo učil je, jako moc maje, a ne jako zákoníci.

23 I byl v škole jejich člověk, posedlý duchem nečistým. I zvolal,

24 Řka: Ale což jest tobě do nás, Ježíši Nazaretský? Přišel jsi zatratiti nás; znám tě, kdo jsi, a vím, že jsi ten svatý Boží.

25 I přimluvil mu Ježíš, řka: Umlkniž a vyjdi z něho.

26 I polomcovav jím duch nečistý a křiče hlasem velikým, vyšel z něho.

27 I lekli se všickni, takže se tázali mezi sebou, řkouce: I co jest toto? Jakéž jest toto nové učení, že tento mocně duchům nečistým rozkazuje, a poslouchají ho?

28 I roznesla se pověst o něm hned po vší krajině Galilejské.

29 A hned vyšedše ze školy, přišli do domu Šimonova a Ondřejova s Jakubem a s Janem.

30 Šimonova pak svegruše ležela, majíc zimnici. A hned jemu pověděli o ní.

31 A přistoupiv, pozdvihl jí, ujav ji za ruku její, a hned přestala jí zimnice. I posluhovala jim.

32 Večer pak již při západu slunce, nosili k němu všecky nemocné i ďábelníky.

33 A bylo se všecko město sběhlo ke dveřům.

34 I uzdravoval mnohé ztrápené rozličnými neduhy, a ďábelství mnohá vymítal, a nedopustil mluviti ďáblům; nebo znali ho.

35 A přede dnem velmi ráno vstav Ježíš, vyšel, a šel na pusté místo, a tam se modlil.

36 I šel za ním Šimon i ti, kteříž s ním byli.

37 A když jej nalezli, řekli jemu: Všickni tě hledají.

38 I dí jim: Pojďmež do okolních městeček, abych i tam kázal. Nebo na to jsem přišel.

39 I kázal v školách jejich ve vší Galileji, a ďábelství vymítal.

40 Tedy přišel k němu malomocný, prose ho, a klekna před ním, řekl jemu: Pane, chceš-li, můžeš mne očistiti.

41 Ježíš pak slitovav se, vztáhl ruku, dotekl se ho a řekl jemu: Chci, buď čist.

42 A když to řekl, hned odstoupilo od něho malomocenství, a očištěn jest.

43 I pohroziv mu, hned ho odbyl,

44 A řekl mu: Viziž, abys nižádnému nic nepravil. Ale jdi, ukaž se knězi, a obětuj za očištění své to, což přikázal Mojžíš, na svědectví jim.

45 On pak vyšed, počal vypravovati mnoho a ohlašovati tu věc, takže již nemohl Ježíš do města zjevně vjíti, ale vně na místech pustých byl. I scházeli se k němu odevšad.

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.
