1 Princípio do Evangelho de Jesus Cristo.
2 Conforme está escrito no profeta Isaías: Eis aí envio eu ante a tua face o meu anjo, Que há de preparar o teu caminho;
3 Voz do que clama no deserto: Preparai o caminho do Senhor, Endireitai as suas veredas;
4 apareceu João Batista no deserto pregando o batismo de arrependimento para remissão de pecados.
5 Saíam a ter com ele toda a terra da Judéia, e todos os moradores de Jerusalém; e eram por ele batizados no rio Jordão, confessando os seus pecados.
6 João usava uma veste de pêlo de camelo, e uma correia em volta da cintura; e comia gafanhotos e mel silvestre.
7 Ele pregava: Depois de mim vem aquele que é mais poderoso do que eu, diante do qual não sou digno de abaixar-me para lhe desatar a correia das sandálias.
8 Eu vos batizei com água, mas ele vos batizará com o Espírito Santo.
9 Naqueles dias Jesus veio de Nazaré da Galiléia, e por João foi batizado no Jordão:
10 Logo ao sair da água, viu os céus abrirem-se e o Espírito como pomba descer sobre ele;
11 e ouviu-se uma voz dos céus: Tu és o meu Filho dileto, em ti me agrado.
12 Imediatamente o Espírito o impeliu para o deserto.
13 Ali ficou quarenta dias tentado por Satanás; estava com as feras, e os anjos o serviam.
14 Depois de João ser preso, foi Jesus para a Galiléia, pregando o Evangelho de Deus
15 e dizendo: O tempo está cumprido, e o reino de Deus está próximo; arrependei-vos e crede no Evangelho.
16 Caminhando ao lado do mar da Galiléia, viu a Simão e a André, irmão de Simão, lançarem a rede ao mar; porque eram pescadores.
17 Disse-lhes Jesus: Segui-me, e eu farei que vos torneis pescadores de homens.
18 No mesmo instante deixaram as redes e o seguiram.
19 Passando um pouco adiante, viu a Tiago e a João, filhos de Zebedeu, que estavam na sua barca, consertando as redes.
20 Logo os chamou; e eles, tendo deixado na barca a Zebedeu, seu pai, com os empregados, foram após Jesus.
21 Entraram em Cafarnaum; e no sábado seguinte indo ele à sinagoga, pôs-se a ensinar.
22 Admiravam-se do seu ensino, porque ele os ensinava como quem tinha autoridade, e não como os escribas.
23 Estava na sinagoga um homem possesso de um espírito imundo,
24 que gritou: Que temos nós contigo, Jesus Nazareno? Vieste a perder-nos. Bem sei quem és, és o Santo de Deus.
25 Mas Jesus repreendeu-o, dizendo: Cala-te e sai desse homem.
26 O espírito imundo, agitando-o violentamente e brandando em alta voz, saiu dele.
27 Todos ficaram tão admirados, que uns aos outros perguntavam: Que é isto? uma nova doutrina com autoridade! ele manda aos próprios espíritos imundos, e eles lhe obedecem!
28 Divulgou-se logo a sua fama por toda a circunvizinhança da Galiléia.
29 Em seguida tendo saído da sinagoga, foram com Tiago e João à casa de Simão e André.
30 A sogra de Simão estava de cama com febre; e logo lhe falaram a respeito dela.
31 Ele, aproximando-se da enferma e tomando-a pela mão, a levantou; a febre a deixou, e ela começou a servi-los.
32 À tarde, estando já o sol posto, traziam-lhe todos os doentes e endemoninhados;
33 e toda a cidade estava reunida à porta.
34 Ele curou muitos que se achavam doentes de diversas moléstias, e expeliu muitos demônios, não permitindo que estes falassem, porque sabiam quem ele era.
35 Levantando-se antes da madrugada, saiu e foi a um lugar deserto, e ali orava.
36 Simão e seus companheiros foram procurá-lo;
37 e encontrando-o, disseram: Todos te buscam.
38 Disse-lhes Jesus: Vamos a outros lugares, às povoações vizinhas, a fim de que eu também aí pregue; porque para isso vim.
39 Foi por toda a Galiléia, pregando nas sinagogas e expelindo os demônios.
40 Chegou-se a ele um leproso, fazendo-lhe a sua rogativa, e ajoelhando-se, disse: Se quiseres, bem podes tornar-me limpo.
41 Jesus, compadecido dele, estendeu a mão e tocou-o, dizendo: Quero; fica limpo.
42 No mesmo instante desapareceu-lhe a lepra, e ficou limpo.
43 Advertindo-lhe com energia, logo o despediu,
44 dizendo: Olha, não digas nada a ninguém, mas vai mostrar-te ao sacerdote e oferecer-lhe pela tua purificação o que Moisés ordenou, para lhes servir de testemunho.
45 Porém ele, saindo dali, começou a publicar o caso por toda a parte e a divulgá-lo, de modo que Jesus já não podia entrar abertamente numa cidade, mas ficava fora em lugares despovoados; e de todos os lados iam ter com ele.
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.
