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.
1 神的儿子（有些抄本无" 神的儿子"一句）耶稣基督福音的开始。
2 正如以赛亚先知的书上写着： "看哪， 我差遣我的使者在你面前， 预备你的道路；
3 在旷野有呼喊者的声音： ‘预备主的道， 修直他的路！ ’"
4 照这话， 施洗的约翰在旷野出现了， 传讲悔改的洗礼， 使罪得赦。
5 犹太全地和全耶路撒冷的人， 都出来到他那里去， 承认自己的罪， 在约旦河里受了他的洗。
6 约翰身穿骆驼毛的衣服， 腰束皮带， 吃的是蝗虫和野蜜。
7 他传讲说： "有一位在我以后来的， 能力比我大， 我就是弯腰给他解鞋带都没有资格。
8 我用水给你们施洗， 他却要用圣灵给你们施洗。"
9 那时候耶稣从加利利的拿撒勒来， 在约旦河里受了约翰的洗。
10 他从水里一上来， 就看见天裂开了， 圣灵仿佛鸽子降在他身上。
11 又有声音从天上来说： "你是我的爱子， 我喜悦你。"
12 圣灵随即催促耶稣到旷野去。
13 他在那里四十天， 受撒但的试探， 和野兽在一起， 有天使来服事他。
14 约翰被捕以后， 耶稣来到加利利， 宣讲 神的福音，
15 说： "时候到了， 神的国近了， 你们应当悔改， 相信福音。"
16 耶稣沿着加利利海边行走， 看见西门和他弟弟安得烈在海上撒网； 他们是渔夫。
17 耶稣就对他们说： "来跟从我， 我要使你们成为得人的渔夫。"
18 他们立刻撇下网， 跟从了他。
19 耶稣稍往前走， 看见西庇太的儿子雅各， 和雅各的弟弟约翰， 正在船上整理鱼网，
20 他立即呼召他们。他们撇下父亲西庇太和雇工在船上， 就跟从他去了。
21 他们到了迦百农， 耶稣随即在安息日进入会堂教导人。
22 大家对他的教训都很惊奇， 因为他教导他们， 像一个有权柄的人， 不像经学家。
23 就在那时， 会堂里有一个被污灵附着的人， 喊叫起来，
24 说： "拿撒勒人耶稣， 我们跟你有什么关系呢？你来毁灭我们吗？我知道你是谁， 你是 神的圣者。"
25 耶稣斥责他说： "住口！ 从他身上出来！ "
26 污灵使那人抽疯， 大声喊叫， 就从他身上出来了。
27 众人都很惊讶， 于是彼此对问说： "这是怎么一回事？是个有权能的新道理啊！ 他吩咐污灵， 污灵竟服从了他！ "
28 耶稣的名声立刻传遍了加利利一带。
29 他们一出会堂， 就和雅各、约翰到西门和安得烈的家里去。
30 西门的岳母正在发烧躺着， 他们立刻告诉耶稣。
31 耶稣走到她面前， 拉着她的手， 扶她起来， 热就退了， 她就服事他们。
32 到了黄昏， 有人不断把生病的和被鬼附的， 都带到耶稣面前。
33 全城的人都聚集在门口。
34 耶稣医好了各样的病， 也赶出许多的鬼， 并且不许鬼说话， 因为鬼认识他。
35 次日凌晨， 天还没有亮， 耶稣起身出去， 来到荒野的地方， 在那里祷告。
36 西门和那些跟他在一起的人就去寻找耶稣。
37 他们找到了， 就对他说： "大家都在找你呢！ "
38 耶稣对他们说： "我们到邻近的乡镇去吧， 我也好在那里传道， 因为我就是为这事而来的。"
39 于是他走遍加利利全地， 在他们的会堂里传道， 并且赶鬼。
40 有一个患痲风的人， 来到耶稣跟前， 跪下求他说： "如果你肯， 必能使我洁净。"
41 耶稣动了怜悯的心， 就伸手摸他， 说： "我肯， 你洁净了吧！ "
42 痲风立刻离开了他， 他就洁净了。
43 耶稣打发那人离开以前， 严厉地吩咐他，
44 说： "你千万不可把这事告诉任何人， 你只要去给祭司检查， 并且照着摩西所规定的， 为你得洁净献祭， 好向大家作证。"
45 但那人出来， 竟任意传讲， 就把这事传开了， 以致耶稣不能再公开进城， 只好留在外边荒野的地方； 然而还是有人从各处到他那里去。
