Markus 1
1 Jesu Christi, Guds Søns, Evangeliums Begyndelse var,2 ligesom skrevet er i Propheterne: see, jeg sender min Engel for dit Ansigt, som skal berede din Vei for dig.3 Det er hans Røst, som raaber i Ørken: bereder Herrens Vei, gjører hans Stier jævne.4 Johannes døbte i Ørken og prædikede Omvendelsens Daab til Syndernes Forladelse.5 Og det ganske Land Judæa gik ud til ham og de af Jerusalem, og de døbtes af ham i Jordans Flod, alle som bekendte deres Synder.6 Men Johannes havde Klæder af Kameelhaar og et Læderbelte om sin Lænd, og aad Græshopper og vild Honning.7 og prædikede og sagde: der kommer den efter mig, som er stærkere end jeg, for hvem jeg ikke er værdig til at bukke mig ned, at løse hans Skotvinge.8 Vel har jeg døbt Eder med Vand, men han skal døbe Eder med den Hellig-Aand.9 Og det skete i de samme Dage, at Jesus kom fra Nazareth i Galilæa, og døbdtes af Johannes i Jordan.10 Og strax, der han steg op af Vandet, saae han Himlene adskilte, og Aanden ligesom en Due komme ned over ham.11 og der skete en Røst fra Himlene: du er min Søn den Elskelige, i hvilken jeg haver Behagelighed.12 Og strax drev Aanden ham ud i Ørken.13 Og han var der i Ørken fyrretyve Dage, og blev fristet af Satan, og var blandt Dyrene; ogEnglene tjente ham.14 Men efterat Johannes var kastet i Fængsel, kom Jesus til Galilæa, og prædikede Guds Riges Evangelium,15 og sagde: Tiden er fuldkommet og Guds Rige er nær; omvender Eder og troer paa Evangelium.16 Men der han vandrede ved den galilæiske Sø, saae han Simon og hans Broder Andreas, at de kastede Garn i Søen, (thi de vare Fiskere).17 Og Jesus sagde til dem: følger efter mig, saa vil jeg gøre Eder til Menneske-Fiskere.18 Og de forlode strax deres Garn og fulgte ham.19 Og da han gik lidet frem derfra, saae han Jakobus, Zebedæus' Søn, og hans Broder Johannes, at ogsaa de bødte deres Garn i Skibet;20 og han kaldte strax ad dem, og de forlode deres Fader Zebedæus i Skibet med Leiesvendene, og gik efter ham.21 Og de gik ind i Capernaum, og strax paa Sabbaten gik han ind i Synagogen og lærte,22 og de forundrede sig saare paa hans Lærdom; thi han lærte dem som den, der havde Myndighed, og ikke som de Skriftkloge.23 Og der var et Menneske i deres Synagoge med en ureen Aand, og han raabte høit,24 og sagde: ak! hvad have vi med dig at skaffe, Jesus af Nazareth? er du kommen at fordærve os? jeg kjender dig, hvo du er, den Guds Hellige.25 Og Jesus truede ham og sagde: ti, og far ud af ham.26 Og den urene Aand sled ham, og raabte med stor Røst, og foer ud af ham.27 Og de bleve alle forfærdede, saa at de bespurgte sig med hverandre og sagde: hvad er dette? hvad er denne for en ny Lærdom? thi han byder og de urene Aander med Magt, og de lyde ham.28 Men hans Rygte kom strax ud i alt det omkringliggende Land i Galilæa.29 Og de gik strax ud af Synagogen og kom i Simons og Andreas Huus, med Jakobus og Johannes.30 Men Simons Hustrus Moder laae og havde Feber, og strax sagde de ham om hende:31 og han gik til hende, tog fat paaa hendes Haand og reiste hende op, og Feberen forlod hende strax, og hun gik dem tilhaande.32 Men der det var blevet Aften, der Solen var nedgangen, førte de alle, som vare syge, og de Besatte til ham,33 og den ganske Stad var forsamlet for Døren.34 Og han helbredte mange, som lede af mangehaande Sygdomme, og uddrev mange Djævle, og lod Djævelene ikke tale; thi de kjente ham.35 Og om Morgenen, længe før Dag, stod han op og gik ud og gik hen til et øde Sted, og bad der.36 Og Simon og de som vare med ham, skyndte sig efter ham.37 Og der de fandt ham, sagde de til ham: Alle lede efter dig.38 Og han sagde til dem: lader os gaae til de nærmeste Smaastæder, at jeg og der kan prædike, thi dertil er jeg kommen.39 Og han prædikede i deres Synagoger udi al Galilæa, og uddrev Djævle.40 Og der kom en Spedalsk til ham, bad ham, og faldt paa Knæ for ham, og sagde til ham: dersom du vil, kan du rense mig.41 Men Jesus ynkedes inderligen, og udrakte Haanden og rørte ved ham, og sagde til ham: jeg vil; vorde reen!42 Og da han det sagde, gik Spedalskheden strax af ham, og han blev renset.43 Og han drev ham strax fra sig, idet han bød ham strengeligen,44 og sagde til ham: see til, at du siger Ingen Noget herom; men gak hen, besee dig for Præsten, og offre for din Renselse, det, som Moses har befalet, dem til et Vidnesbyrd.45 Men der han kom ud, begyndte han at fortælle Meget derom og udsprede Rygtet om denne Sag, saa at han ikke mere kunde gaae aabenbare ind i en Stad; men han var udenfor paa øde Steder, og allevegne fra kom de til ham.
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.
