NASV Mark 1 Chapter
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16
1:1
The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
1:2
As it is written in Isaiah the prophet: "Behold, I send My messenger ahead of You, Who will prepare Your way;
1:3
The voice of one crying in the wilderness, 'Make ready the way of the Lord, Make His paths straight.' "
1:4
John the Baptist appeared in the wilderness preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.
1:5
And all the country of Judea was going out to him, and all the people of Jerusalem; and they were being baptized by him in the Jordan River, confessing their sins.
1:6
John was clothed with camel's hair and wore a leather belt around his waist, and his diet was locusts and wild honey.
1:7
And he was preaching, and saying, "After me One is coming who is mightier than I, and I am not fit to stoop down and untie the thong of His sandals.
1:8
"I baptized you with water; but He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit."
1:9
In those days Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan.
1:10
Immediately coming up out of the water, He saw the heavens opening, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon Him;
1:11
and a voice came out of the heavens: "You are My beloved Son, in You I am well-pleased."
1:12
Immediately the Spirit impelled Him to go out into the wilderness.
1:13
And He was in the wilderness forty days being tempted by Satan; and He was with the wild beasts, and the angels were ministering to Him.
1:14
Now after John had been taken into custody, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God,
1:15
and saying, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel."
1:16
As He was going along by the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew, the brother of Simon, casting a net in the sea; for they were fishermen.
1:17
And Jesus said to them, "Follow Me, and I will make you become fishers of men."
1:18
Immediately they left their nets and followed Him.
1:19
Going on a little farther, He saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who were also in the boat mending the nets.
1:20
Immediately He called them; and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, and went away to follow Him.
1:21
They went into Capernaum; and immediately on the Sabbath He entered the synagogue and began to teach.
1:22
They were amazed at His teaching; for He was teaching them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.
1:23
Just then there was a man in their synagogue with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,
1:24
saying, "What business do we have with each other, Jesus of Nazareth? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are--the Holy One of God!"
1:25
And Jesus rebuked him, saying, "Be quiet, and come out of him!"
1:26
Throwing him into convulsions, the unclean spirit cried out with a loud voice and came out of him.
1:27
They were all amazed, so that they debated among themselves, saying, "What is this? A new teaching with authority! He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey Him."
1:28
Immediately the news about Him spread everywhere into all the surrounding district of Galilee.
1:29
And immediately after they came out of the synagogue, they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
1:30
Now Simon's mother-in-law was lying sick with a fever; and immediately they spoke to Jesus about her.
1:31
And He came to her and raised her up, taking her by the hand, and the fever left her, and she waited on them.
1:32
When evening came, after the sun had set, they began bringing to Him all who were ill and those who were demon-possessed.
1:33
And the whole city had gathered at the door.
1:34
And He healed many who were ill with various diseases, and cast out many demons; and He was not permitting the demons to speak, because they knew who He was.
1:35
In the early morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house, and went away to a secluded place, and was praying there.
1:36
Simon and his companions searched for Him;
1:37
they found Him, and said to Him, "Everyone is looking for You."
1:38
He said to them, "Let us go somewhere else to the towns nearby, so that I may preach there also; for that is what I came for."
1:39
And He went into their synagogues throughout all Galilee, preaching and casting out the demons.
1:40
And a leper came to Jesus, beseeching Him and falling on his knees before Him, and saying, "If You are willing, You can make me clean."
1:41
Moved with compassion, Jesus stretched out His hand and touched him, and said to him, "I am willing; be cleansed."
1:42
Immediately the leprosy left him and he was cleansed.
1:43
And He sternly warned him and immediately sent him away,
1:44
and He said to him, "See that you say nothing to anyone; but go, show yourself to the priest and offer for your cleansing what Moses commanded, as a testimony to them."
1:45
But he went out and began to proclaim it freely and to spread the news around, to such an extent that Jesus could no longer publicly enter a city, but stayed out in unpopulated areas; and they were coming to Him from everywhere.
