马可福音 1

施洗约翰

1 神的儿子耶稣基督福音的开始。2 正如以赛亚先知的书上写着：
“看哪，我差遣我的使者在你面前，
预备你的道路；3 在旷野有呼喊者的声音：
‘预备主的道，
修直他的路！’”4 照这话，施洗的约翰在旷野出现了，传讲悔改的洗礼，使罪得赦。5 犹太全地和全耶路撒冷的人，都出来到他那里去，承认自己的罪，在约旦河里受了他的洗。6 约翰身穿骆驼毛的衣服，腰束皮带，吃的是蝗虫和野蜜。7 他传讲说：“有一位在我以后来的，能力比我大，我就是弯腰给他解鞋带都没有资格。8 我用水给你们施洗，他却要用圣灵给你们施洗。”
耶稣受洗9 那时候耶稣从加利利的拿撒勒来，在约旦河里受了约翰的洗。10 他从水里一上来，就看见天裂开了，圣灵仿佛鸽子降在他身上。11 又有声音从天上来说：“你是我的爱子，我喜悦你。”
耶稣受试探12 圣灵随即催促耶稣到旷野去。13 他在那里四十天，受撒但的试探，和野兽在一起，有天使来服事他。
在加利利传道14 约翰被捕以后，耶稣来到加利利，宣讲 神的福音，15 说：“时候到了， 神的国近了，你们应当悔改，相信福音。”
呼召四个门徒16 耶稣沿着加利利海边行走，看见西门和他弟弟安得烈在海上撒网；他们是渔夫。17 耶稣就对他们说：“来跟从我，我要使你们成为得人的渔夫。”18 他们立刻撇下网，跟从了他。19 耶稣稍往前走，看见西庇太的儿子雅各，和雅各的弟弟约翰，正在船上整理鱼网，20 他立即呼召他们。他们撇下父亲西庇太和雇工在船上，就跟从他去了。
在迦百农赶出污灵21 他们到了迦百农，耶稣随即在安息日进入会堂教导人。22 大家对他的教训都很惊奇，因为他教导他们，像一个有权柄的人，不像经学家。23 就在那时，会堂里有一个被污灵附着的人，喊叫起来，24 说：“拿撒勒人耶稣，我们跟你有甚么关系呢？你来毁灭我们吗？我知道你是谁，你是 神的圣者。”25 耶稣斥责他说：“住口！从他身上出来！”26 污灵使那人抽疯，大声喊叫，就从他身上出来了。27 众人都很惊讶，于是彼此对问说：“这是怎么一回事？是个有权能的新道理啊！他吩咐污灵，污灵竟服从了他！”28 耶稣的名声立刻传遍了加利利一带。
治病赶鬼29 他们一出会堂，就和雅各、约翰到西门和安得烈的家里去。30 西门的岳母正在发烧躺着，他们立刻告诉耶稣。31 耶稣走到她面前，拉着她的手，扶她起来，热就退了，她就服事他们。32 到了黄昏，有人不断把生病的和被鬼附的，都带到耶稣面前。33 全城的人都聚集在门口。34 耶稣医好了各样的病，也赶出许多的鬼，并且不许鬼说话，因为鬼认识他。
在加利利传道赶鬼35 次日凌晨，天还没有亮，耶稣起身出去，来到荒野的地方，在那里祷告。36 西门和那些跟他在一起的人就去寻找耶稣。37 他们找到了，就对他说：“大家都在找你呢！”38 耶稣对他们说：“我们到邻近的乡镇去吧，我也好在那里传道，因为我就是为这事而来的。”39 于是他走遍加利利全地，在他们的会堂里传道，并且赶鬼。
治好痲风病人40 有一个患痲风的人，来到耶稣跟前，跪下求他说：“如果你肯，必能使我洁净。”41 耶稣动了怜悯的心，就伸手摸他，说：“我肯，你洁净了吧！”42 痲风立刻离开了他，他就洁净了。43 耶稣打发那人离开以前，严厉地吩咐他，44 说：“你千万不可把这事告诉任何人，你只要去给祭司检查，并且照着摩西所规定的，为你得洁净献祭，好向大家作证。”45 但那人出来，竟任意传讲，就把这事传开了，以致耶稣不能再公开进城，只好留在外边荒野的地方；然而还是有人从各处到他那里去。

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.
