1The beginning of the gospel of Yeshua Messiah, the Son of God. 2Even as it is written in Isaiah the prophet, Behold, I send my messenger before your face, Who shall prepare your way; 3The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make ready the way of Yehovah, Make his paths straight; 4John came, who baptized in the wilderness and preached the baptism of repentance to remission of sins. 5And all the country of Judæa went out to him, and all those of Jerusalem; and they were baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins. 6And John was clothed with camel’s hair, and had a leather belt about his loins, and ate locusts and wild honey. 7And he preached, saying, There comes after me he who is mightier than I, the strap of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and untie. 8I baptized you in water; but he shall baptize you in the Holy Spirit. 9And it happened in those days, that Yeshua came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John in the Jordan. 10And immediately coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens torn open, and the Spirit as a dove descending upon him: 11and a voice came out of the heavens, You are my beloved Son, in you I am well pleased. 12And immediately the Spirit drives him out into the wilderness. 13And he was in the wilderness forty days tempted by Satan; and he was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered to him. 14Now after John was delivered up, Yeshua came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God, 15and saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent, and believe in the gospel. 16And 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. 17And Yeshua said to them, Come after me, and I will make you become fishers of men. 18And immediately they left the nets, and followed him. 19And 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. 20And immediately he called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, and went after him. 21And they go into Capernaum; and immediately on the sabbath day he entered into the synagogue and taught. 22And they were astonished at his teaching: for he taught them as having authority, and not as the scribes. 23And immediately there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out, 24saying, What have we to do with you, Yeshua you Nazarene? have you come to destroy us? I know you, who you are, the Holy One of God. 25And Yeshua rebuked him, saying, Hold your peace, and come out of him. 26And the unclean spirit, tearing him and crying with a loud voice, came out of him. 27And they were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, What is this? a new teaching! with authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him. 28And the report of him went out immediately everywhere into all the region of Galilee around. 29And immediately, when they had come out of the synagogue, they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. 30Now Simon’s wife’s mother lay sick of a fever; and immediately they tell him of her: 31and he came and took her by the hand, and raised her up; and the fever left her, and she ministered to them. 32And at evening, when the sun had set, they brought to him all who were sick, and those who were possessed with demons. 33And all the city was gathered together at the door. 34And he healed many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons; and he did not allow the demons to speak, because they knew him. 35And in the morning, a great while before day, he rose up and went out, and departed into a desert place, and there prayed. 36And Simon and those who were with him followed after him; 37and they found him, and say to him, All are seeking you. 38And he says to them, Let us go elsewhere into the next towns, that I may preach there also; for to this end I came out. 39And he went into their synagogues throughout all Galilee, preaching and casting out demons. 40And there comes to him a leper, begging him, and kneeling down to him, and saying to him, If you will, you can make me clean. 41And being moved with compassion, he stretched out his hand, and touched him, and says to him, I will; be made clean. 42And immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was made clean. 43And he strictly charged him, and immediately sent him out, 44and says to him, See that you say nothing to any man: but go show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing the things which Moses commanded, for a testimony to them. 45But he went out, and began to proclaim it much, and to spread abroad the matter, so that Yeshua could no longer openly enter into a city, but was outside in desert places: and they came to him from every quarter.
