Mar_01_01 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God; ~

Mar_01_02 As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. ~

Mar_01_03 The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. ~

Mar_01_04 John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins. ~

Mar_01_05 And there went out unto him all the land of Judaea, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized of him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins. ~

Mar_01_06 And John was clothed with camel's hair, and with a girdle of a skin about his loins; and he did eat locusts and wild honey; ~

Mar_01_07 And preached, saying, There cometh one mightier than I after me, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose. ~

Mar_01_08 I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost. ~

Mar_01_09 And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan. ~

Mar_01_10 And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him: ~

Mar_01_11 And there came a voice from heaven, [saying], Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. ~

Mar_01_12 And immediately the Spirit driveth him into the wilderness. ~

Mar_01_13 And he was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted of Satan; and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto him. ~

Mar_01_14 Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, ~

Mar_01_15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. ~

Mar_01_16 Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers. ~

Mar_01_17 And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men. ~

Mar_01_18 And straightway they forsook their nets, and followed him. ~

Mar_01_19 And when he had gone a little farther thence, he saw James the [son] of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the ship mending their nets. ~

Mar_01_20 And straightway he called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants, and went after him. ~

Mar_01_21 And they went into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath day he entered into the synagogue, and taught. ~

Mar_01_22 And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes. ~

Mar_01_23 And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out, ~

Mar_01_24 Saying, Let [us] alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God. ~

Mar_01_25 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. ~

Mar_01_26 And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him. ~

Mar_01_27 And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What thing is this? what new doctrine [is] this? for with authority commandeth he even the unclean spirits, and they do obey him. ~

Mar_01_28 And immediately his fame spread abroad throughout all the region round about Galilee. ~

Mar_01_29 And forthwith, when they were come out of the synagogue, they entered into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. ~

Mar_01_30 But Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever, and anon they tell him of her. ~

Mar_01_31 And he came and took her by the hand, and lifted her up; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them. ~

Mar_01_32 And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all that were diseased, and them that were possessed with devils. ~

Mar_01_33 And all the city was gathered together at the door. ~

Mar_01_34 And he healed many that were sick of divers diseases, and cast out many devils; and suffered not the devils to speak, because they knew him. ~

Mar_01_35 And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed. ~

Mar_01_36 And Simon and they that were with him followed after him. ~

Mar_01_37 And when they had found him, they said unto him, All [men] seek for thee. ~

Mar_01_38 And he said unto them, Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also: for therefore came I forth. ~

Mar_01_39 And he preached in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and cast out devils. ~

Mar_01_40 And there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. ~

Mar_01_41 And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth [his] hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean. ~

Mar_01_42 And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed. ~

Mar_01_43 And he straitly charged him, and forthwith sent him away; ~

Mar_01_44 And saith unto him, See thou say nothing to any man: but go thy way, show thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing those things which Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them. ~

Mar_01_45 But he went out, and began to publish [it] much, and to blaze abroad the matter, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly enter into the city, but was without in desert places: and they came to him from every quarter. ~
