馬可福音 1

1 　神的兒子耶穌基督福音的開始。
2 正如以賽亞先知的書上寫著：“看哪，我差遣我的使者在你 面前，
預備你的道路；
3 在曠野有呼喊者的聲音：‘預備主的道，
修直他的路！’”
4 照這話，施洗的約翰在曠野出現了，傳講悔改的洗禮，使罪得赦。5 猶太全地和全耶路撒冷的人，都出來到他那裡去，承認自己的罪，在約旦河裡受了他的洗。6 約翰身穿駱駝毛的衣服，腰束皮帶，吃的是蝗蟲和野蜜。7 他傳講說：“有一位在我以後來的，能力比我大，我就是彎腰給他解鞋帶都沒有資格。

8 我用水給你們施洗，他卻要用聖靈給你們施洗。”

耶穌受洗

9 那時候耶穌從加利利的拿撒勒來，在約旦河裡受了約翰的洗。10 他從水裡一上來，就看見天裂開了，聖靈仿佛鴿子降在他身上。

11 又有聲音從天上來說：“你是我的愛子，我喜悅你。”

耶穌受試探

12 聖靈隨即催促耶穌到曠野去。

13 他在那裡四十天，受撒但的試探，和野獸在一起，有天使來服事他。

在加利利傳道

14 約翰被捕以後，耶穌來到加利利，宣講　神的福音，

15 說：“時候到了，　神的國近了，你們應當悔改，相信福音。”
呼召四個門徒

16 耶穌沿著加利利海邊行走，看見西門和他弟弟安得烈在海上撒網；他們是漁夫。17 耶穌就對他們說：“來跟從我，我要使你們成為得人的漁夫。”18 他們立刻撇下網，跟從了他。19 耶穌稍往前走，看見西庇太的兒子雅各，和雅各的弟弟約翰，正在船上整理魚網，

20 他立即呼召他們。他們撇下父親西庇太和雇工在船上，就跟從他去了。

在迦百農趕出污靈

21 他們到了迦百農，耶穌隨即在安息日進入會堂教導人。22 大家對他的教訓都很驚奇，因為他教導他們，像一個有權柄的人，不像經學家。23 就在那時，會堂裡有一個被污靈附著的人，喊叫起來，24 說：“拿撒勒人耶穌，我們跟你有甚麼關係呢？你來毀滅我們嗎？我知道你是誰，你是　神的聖者。”25 耶穌斥責他說：“住口！從他身上出來！”26 污靈使那人抽瘋，大聲喊叫，就從他身上出來了。27 眾人都很驚訝，於是彼此對問說：“這是怎麼一回事？是個有權能的新道理啊！他吩咐污靈，污靈竟服從了他！”

28 耶穌的名聲立刻傳遍了加利利一帶。

治病趕鬼

29 他們一出會堂，就和雅各、約翰到西門和安得烈的家裡去。30 西門的岳母正在發燒躺著，他們立刻告訴耶穌。31 耶穌走到她面前，拉著她的手，扶她起來，熱就退了，她就服事他們。32 到了黃昏，有人不斷把生病的和被鬼附的，都帶到耶穌面前。33 全城的人都聚集在門口。

34 耶穌醫好了各樣的病，也趕出許多的鬼，並且不許鬼說話，因為鬼認識他。

在加利利傳道趕鬼

35 次日凌晨，天還沒有亮，耶穌起身出去，來到荒野的地方，在那裡禱告。36 西門和那些跟他在一起的人就去尋找耶穌。37 他們找到了，就對他說：“大家都在找你呢！”38 耶穌對他們說：“我們到鄰近的鄉鎮去吧，我也好在那裡傳道，因為我就是為這事而來的。”

39 於是他走遍加利利全地，在他們的會堂裡傳道，並且趕鬼。
治好痲風病人
40 有一個患痲風的人，來到耶穌跟前，跪下求他說：“如果你肯，必能使我潔淨。”41 耶穌動了憐憫的心，就伸手摸他，說：“我肯，你潔淨了吧！”42 痲風立刻離開了他，他就潔淨了。43 耶穌打發那人離開以前，嚴厲地吩咐他，44 說：“你千萬不可把這事告訴任何人，你只要去給祭司檢查，並且照著摩西所規定的，為你得潔淨獻祭，好向大家作證。”

45 但那人出來，竟任意傳講，就把這事傳開了，以致耶穌不能再公開進城，只好留在外邊荒野的地方；然而還是有人從各處到他那裡去。

Mark 1

The Ministry of John the Baptist

1 The beginning of the gospels of Jesus Christ,t the Son of God.ss

2 As it is written in Isaiah the prophet,s
“Look, I am sending my messenger ahead of you,
who will prepare your way,s

3 the voice of one shouting in the wilderness,
‘Prepare the way for the Lord,
makeshis paths straight.’”s
4 In the wildernesst John the baptizert began preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.s5 Peoplet from the whole Judean countryside and all of Jerusalems were going out to him, and he was baptizing themt in the Jordan River as they confessed their sins.6 John wore a garment made of camel’s hair with a leather belt around his waist, and he ate locusts and wild honey.s7 He proclaimed,t “One more powerful than I am is coming after me; I am not worthyts to bend down and untie the strapt of his sandals.

8 I baptize you with water, but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.”

The Baptism and Temptation of Jesus

9 Nowt in those days Jesus came from Nazareths in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan River.t10 And just as Jesust was coming up out of the water, he saw the heavenst splitting apart and the Spirit descending on him like a dove.s11 And a voice came from heaven: “You are my one dear Son;t in you I take great delight.”ts12 The Spirit immediately drove him into the wilderness.

13 He was in the wilderness forty days,s enduring temptations from Satan. Het was with wild animals, and angels were ministering to his needs.t

Preaching in Galilee and the Call of the Disciples

14 Now after John was imprisoned,t Jesus went into Galilee and proclaimed the gospels of God.t15 Het said, “The time is fulfilled and the kingdom of Gods is near. Repent and believe the gospel!”16 As he went along the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew, Simon’s brother, casting a net into the sea (for they were fishermen).s17 Jesus said to them, “Follow me, and I will turn you into fishers of people.”ts18 They left their nets immediately and followed him.s19 Going on a little farther, he saw James, the son of Zebedee, and John his brother in theirt boat mending nets.

20 Immediately he called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men and followed him.

Jesus’ Authority

21 Thent they went to Capernaum.ss When the Sabbath came,t Jesust went into the synagogues and began to teach.22 The people theret were amazed by his teaching, because he taught them like one who had authority,s not like the experts in the law.t23 Just then there was a man in their synagogue with an unclean spirit,s and he cried out,t24 “Leave us alone,ts Jesus the Nazarene! Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are – the Holy Ones of God!”25 Butt Jesus rebuked him:t “Silence! Come out of him!”s26 After throwing him into convulsions, the unclean spirit cried out with a loud voice and came out of him.27 They were all amazed so that they asked each other, “What is this? A new teaching with authority! He even commands the unclean spirits and they obey him.”

28 Sot the news about him spread quickly throughout all the region around Galilee.

Healings at Simon’s House

29 Nowt as soon as they left the synagogue,s they entered Simon and Andrew’s house, with James and John.30 Simon’s mother-in-law was lying down, sick with a fever, sot they spoke to Jesust at once about her.31 He came and raised her up by gently taking her hand. Then the fever left her and she began to servet them.32 When it was evening, after sunset, they brought to him all who were sick and demon-possessed.33 The whole town gathered by the door.

34 Sot he healed many who were sick with various diseases and drove out many demons.s Butt he would not permit the demons to speak,s because they knew him.s

Praying and Preaching

35 Thent Jesust got up early in the morning when it was still very dark, departed, and went out to a deserted place, and there he spent time in prayer.t36 Simon and his companions searched for him.37 When they found him, they said, “Everyone is looking for you.”38 He replied,t “Let us go elsewhere, into the surrounding villages, so that I can preach there too. For that is what I came out here to do.”t

39 Sot he went into all of Galilee preaching in their synagoguess and casting out demons.

Cleansing a Leper

40 Nowt a lepers came to him and fell to his knees, asking for help. “Ift you are willing, you can make me clean,” he said.41 Moved with compassion,s Jesust stretched out his hand and toucheds him, saying, “I am willing. Be clean!”42 The leprosy left him at once, and he was clean.43 Immediately Jesust sent the mant away with a very strong warning.44 He told him,t “See that you do not say anything to anyone,s but go, show yourself to a priest, and bring the offering that Moses commandeds for your cleansing, as a testimony to them.”t

45 But as the mant went out he began to announce it publicly and spread the story widely, so that Jesust was no longer able to enter any town openly but stayed outside in remote places. Stillt they kept comingt to him from everywhere.
