1 Jeesuksen Kristuksen, Jumalan Pojan, evankeliumin alku.

4 niin Johannes Kastaja saarnasi erämaassa parannuksen kastetta syntien anteeksisaamiseksi.

5 Ja koko Juudean maa ja kaikki jerusalemilaiset vaelsivat hänen tykönsä, ja hän kastoi heidät Jordanin virrassa, kun he tunnustivat syntinsä.

6 Ja Johanneksella oli puku kamelinkarvoista ja vyötäisillään nahkavyö; ja hän söi heinäsirkkoja ja metsähunajaa.

9 Ja niinä päivinä Jeesus tuli Galilean Nasaretista, ja Johannes kastoi hänet Jordanissa.

10 Ja heti, vedestä noustessaan, hän näki taivasten aukeavan ja Hengen niinkuin kyyhkysen laskeutuvan häneen.

12 Kohta sen jälkeen Henki ajoi hänet erämaahan.

13 Ja hän oli erämaassa neljäkymmentä päivää, ja saatana kiusasi häntä, ja hän oli petojen seassa; ja enkelit tekivät hänelle palvelusta.

14 Mutta sittenkuin Johannes oli pantu vankeuteen, meni Jeesus Galileaan ja saarnasi Jumalan evankeliumia

16 Ja kulkiessaan Galilean järven rantaa hän näki Simonin ja Andreaan, Simonin veljen, heittävän verkkoa järveen; sillä he olivat kalastajia.

18 Kohta he jättivät verkot ja seurasivat häntä.

19 Ja käytyään siitä vähän eteenpäin hän näki Jaakobin, Sebedeuksen pojan, ja Johanneksen, hänen veljensä, heidätkin venheessä, laittamassa verkkojaan kuntoon.

20 Ja kohta hän kutsui heidät; ja he jättivät isänsä, Sebedeuksen, palkkalaisineen venheeseen ja lähtivät seuraamaan häntä.

21 Ja he saapuivat Kapernaumiin; ja hän meni kohta sapattina synagoogaan ja opetti.

22 Ja he olivat hämmästyksissään hänen opetuksestansa, sillä hän opetti heitä niinkuin se, jolla valta on, eikä niinkuin kirjanoppineet.

23 Ja heidän synagoogassaan oli juuri silloin mies, jossa oli saastainen henki; ja se huusi

26 Ja saastainen henki kouristi häntä ja lähti hänestä huutaen suurella äänellä.

28 Ja hänen maineensa levisi kohta koko ympäristöön, kaikkialle Galileaan.

29 Ja tultuaan ulos synagoogasta he menivät kohta Simonin ja Andreaan taloon Jaakobin ja Johanneksen kanssa.

30 Ja Simonin anoppi makasi sairaana kuumeessa, ja kohta he puhuivat hänestä Jeesukselle.

31 Ja hän meni hänen luoksensa ja nosti hänet ylös, tarttuen hänen käteensä; ja kuume lähti hänestä, ja hän palveli heitä.

32 Mutta illan tultua, kun aurinko oli laskenut, tuotiin hänen tykönsä kaikki sairaat ja riivatut,

33 ja koko kaupunki oli koolla oven edessä.

34 Ja hän paransi monta, jotka sairastivat moninaisia tauteja, ja paljon riivaajia hän ajoi ulos eikä sallinut riivaajien puhua, koska ne tunsivat hänet.

35 Ja varhain aamulla, kun vielä oli pimeä, hän nousi, lähti ulos ja meni autioon paikkaan; ja siellä hän rukoili.

36 Mutta Simon ja ne, jotka olivat hänen kanssaan, riensivät hänen jälkeensä;

39 Ja hän meni ja saarnasi heidän synagoogissaan koko Galileassa ja ajoi ulos riivaajat.

42 Ja kohta pitali lähti hänestä, ja hän puhdistui.

43 Ja varoittaen häntä ankarasti hän laski hänet heti menemään

45 Mutta mentyään pois tämä rupesi laajalti julistamaan ja asiasta tietoa levittämään, niin ettei Jeesus enää saattanut julkisesti mennä kaupunkeihin, vaan oleskeli niiden ulkopuolella autioissa paikoissa; ja kaikkialta tultiin hänen tykönsä.

1 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

2 Even as it is written in Isaiah the prophet,

Behold, I send my messenger before thy face,

Who shall prepare thy way;

3 The voice of one crying in the wilderness,

Make ye ready the way of the Lord,

Make his paths straight;

4 John came, who baptized in the wilderness and preached the baptism of repentance unto remission of sins. 5 And there went out unto him all the country of Judæa, and all they of Jerusalem; and they were baptized of him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins. 6 And John was clothed with camel’s hair, and had a leathern girdle about his loins, and did eat locusts and wild honey. 7 And he preached, saying, There cometh after me he that is mightier than I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose. 8 I baptized you in water; but he shall baptize you in the Holy Spirit.

9 And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in the Jordan. 10 And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens rent asunder, and the Spirit as a dove descending upon him: 11 and a voice came out of the heavens, Thou art my beloved Son, in thee I am well pleased.

12 And straightway the Spirit driveth him forth into the wilderness. 13 And he was in the wilderness forty days tempted of Satan; and he was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto him.

14 Now after John was delivered up, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God, 15 and saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe in the gospel.

16 And passing along by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew the brother of Simon casting a net in the sea; for they were fishers. 17 And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men. 18 And straightway they left the nets, and followed him. 19 And going on a little further, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the boat mending the nets. 20 And straightway he called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, and went after him.

21 And they go into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath day he entered into the synagogue and taught. 22 And they were astonished at his teaching: for he taught them as having authority, and not as the scribes. 23 And straightway there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out, 24 saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus thou 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, tearing him and crying with a loud voice, came out of him. 27 And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What is this? a new teaching! with authority he commandeth even the unclean spirits, and they obey him. 28 And the report of him went out straightway everywhere into all the region of Galilee round about.

29 And straightway, when they were come out of the synagogue, they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. 30 Now Simon’s wife’s mother lay sick of a fever; and straightway they tell him of her: 31 and he came and took her by the hand, and raised her up; and the fever left her, and she ministered unto them.

32 And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all that were sick, and them that were possessed with demons. 33 And all the city was gathered together at the door. 34 And he healed many that were sick with divers diseases, and cast out many demons; and he suffered not the demons to speak, because they knew him.

35 And in the morning, a great while before day, he rose up and went out, and departed into a desert place, and there prayed. 36 And Simon and they that were with him followed after him; 37 and they found him, and say unto him, All are seeking thee. 38 And he saith unto them, Let us go elsewhere into the next towns, that I may preach there also; for to this end came I forth. 39 And he went into their synagogues throughout all Galilee, preaching and casting out demons.

40 And there cometh to him a leper, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. 41 And being moved with compassion, he stretched forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou made clean. 42 And straightway the leprosy departed from him, and he was made clean. 43 And he strictly charged him, and straightway sent him out, 44 and saith unto him, See thou say nothing to any man: but go show thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing the things which Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them. 45 But he went out, and began to publish it much, and to spread abroad the matter, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly enter into a city, but was without in desert places: and they came to him from every quarter.
