The Good News According to Mark, Chapter 1
{1:1} The beginning of the Good News of Yeshua the Messiah, the Son
of God. {1:2} As it is written in the prophets,
"Behold, I send my messenger before your face,
Who will prepare your way before you.
{1:3} The voice of one crying in the wilderness,
'Make ready the way of the Lord!
Make his paths straight!'"
{1:4} Yochanan came immersing in the wilderness and preaching the
immersion of repentance for forgiveness of sins. {1:5} All the country
of Yehudah and all those of Yerushalayim went out to him. They were
immersed by him in the Yarden river, confessing their sins. {1:6}
Yochanan was clothed with camel's hair and a leather belt around his
loins. He ate locusts and wild honey. {1:7} He preached, saying,
"After me comes he who is mightier than I, the thong of whose sandals
I am not worthy to stoop down and loosen. {1:8} I immersed you in
water, but he will immerse you in the [1>]Ruach HaKodesh[<1]."
{1:9} It happened in those days, that Yeshua came from Natzeret of
the Galil, and was immersed by Yochanan in the Yarden. {1:10}
Immediately coming up from the water, he saw the heavens parting, and
the Spirit descending on him like a dove. {1:11} A voice came out of
the sky, "You are my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."
{1:12} Immediately the Spirit drove him out into the wilderness.
{1:13} He was there in the wilderness forty days tempted by Hasatan.
He was with the wild animals; and the angels were ministering to him.
{1:14} Now after Yochanan was taken into custody, Yeshua came into
the Galil, preaching the Good News of the Kingdom of God, {1:15} and
saying, "The time is fulfilled, and the Kingdom of God is at hand!
Repent, and believe in the Good News."
{1:16} Passing along by the sea of the Galil, he saw Shim`on and
Andrai the brother of Shim`on casting a net in the sea, for they were
fishermen. {1:17} Yeshua said to them, "Come after me, and I will make
you into fishers for men."
{1:18} Immediately they left their nets, and followed him. {1:19}
Going on a little further from there, he saw Ya`akov the son of
Zavdai, and Yochanan, his brother, who were also in the boat mending
the nets. {1:20} Immediately he called them, and they left their
father, Zavdai, in the boat with the hired servants, and went after
him. {1:21} They went into Kafar-Nachum, and immediately on the day of
Shabbat he entered into the synagogue and taught. {1:22} They were
astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as having authority,
and not as the [2>]Sofrim[<2]. {1:23} Immediately there was in their
synagogue a man with an unclean spirit, and he cried out, {1:24}
saying, "Ha! What do we have to do with you, Yeshua, you Natzri? Have
you come to destroy us? I know you who you are: the Holy One of God!"
{1:25} Yeshua rebuked him, saying, "Be quiet, and come out of him!"
{1:26} The unclean spirit, convulsing him and crying with a loud
voice, came out of him. {1:27} They were all amazed, so that they
questioned among themselves, saying, "What is this? A new teaching?
For with authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey
him!" {1:28} The report of him went out immediately everywhere into
all the region of the Galil and its surrounding area.
{1:29} Immediately, when they had come out of the synagogue, they
came into the house of Shim`on and Andrai, with Ya`akov and Yochanan.
{1:30} Now Shim`on's wife's mother lay sick with a fever, and
immediately they told him about her. {1:31} He came and took her by
the hand, and raised her up. The fever left her, and she served them.
{1:32} At evening, when the sun had set, they brought to him all who
were sick, and those who were possessed by demons. {1:33} All the city
was gathered together at the door. {1:34} He healed many who were sick
with various diseases, and cast out many demons. He didn't allow the
demons to speak, because they knew him.
{1:35} Early in the night, he rose up and went out, and departed
into a deserted place, and prayed there. {1:36} Shim`on and those who
were with him followed after him; {1:37} and they found him, and told
him, "Everyone is looking for you."
{1:38} He said to them, "Let's go elsewhere into the next towns,
that I may preach there also, because for this reason I came forth."
{1:39} He went into their synagogues throughout all Galil, preaching
and casting out demons.
{1:40} There came to him a leper, begging him, kneeling down to him,
and saying to him, "If you want to, you can make me clean."
{1:41} Being moved with compassion, he stretched out his hand, and
touched him, and said to him, "I want to. Be made clean." {1:42} When
he had said this, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he
was made clean. {1:43} He strictly warned him, and immediately sent
him out, {1:44} and said to him, "See you say nothing to anybody, but
go show yourself to the [3>]Kohen[<3], and offer for your cleansing
the things which Moshe commanded, for a testimony to them."
{1:45} But he went out, and began to proclaim it much, and to spread
about the matter, so that Yeshua could no more openly enter into a
city, but was outside in desert places: and they came to him from
everywhere.
