Markus 1
Kedatangan Yesus
1 Inilah permulaan Kabar Baikt tentang Yesus Kristus,t Anak Allah.2 Sebelumnya, Nabit Yesaya sudah menulis apa yang akan terjadi,
"Dengarlah. Aku, Allah,
akan mengirim utusan-Ku mendahului Engkau.
Ia akan mempersiapkan jalan bagi-Mu.
3 Terdengarlah suara orang yang berseru-seru di padang gurun, katanya,
‘Siapkanlah jalan bagi Tuhan.
Luruskanlah jalan bagi-Nya.’"
4 Kemudian tampaklah Yohanes Pembaptist di padang gurun. Ia memanggil orang banyak untuk dibaptis.t Baptisan itu merupakan tanda bahwa mereka mau bertobat, supaya dosanya diampuni.5 Orang banyak datang berbondong-bondong kepada Yohanes dari negeri Yudea dan Yerusalem. Ia membaptis mereka di Sungai Yordan setelah mereka mengaku dosanya.6 Yohanes memakai pakaian dari bulu unta dan memakai sebuah ikat pinggang kulit. Makanannya terdiri dari belalang dan madu hutan.7 Ia berkata kepada orang banyak, "Sesudah aku akan datang Orang yang jauh lebih besar daripadaku. Sedangkan membuka tali sandal-Nya saja pun aku tidak layak.8 Aku membaptis kamu dengan air, tetapi Orang yang akan datang itu akan membaptis kamu dengan Roh Kudus.t"
Yesus Dibaptis
9 Pada saat itu Yesus datang dari kota Nazaret di daerah Galilea supaya Ia dibaptist oleh Yohanes di Sungai Yordan.10 Segera sesudah Yesus keluar dari air, Ia melihat langit terbuka. Roh Kudust turun kepada-Nya seperti burung merpati.11 Dari surga terdengar suara yang mengatakan, "Engkau adalah Anak-Ku. Aku mengasihi-Mu. Aku sangat berkenan kepada-Mu."
Yesus Dicobai
12 Kemudian Roht menyuruh Yesus ke padang gurun sendirian.13 Yesus ada di sana selama 40 hari. Ia tinggal di sana bersama dengan binatang liar. Di sana Ia dicobai oleh iblis. Kemudian para malaikat datang dan melayani Dia.
Yesus Memilih Beberapa Murid
14 Sesudah Yohanest ditangkap dan dipenjarakan, Yesus pergi ke Galilea. Ia memberitakan Kabar Baikt dari Allah.15 Katanya, "Sekarang sudah tiba waktunya. Kerajaan Allaht sudah dekat. Bertobatlah dari perbuatan-perbuatanmu yang tidak baik. Percayalah kepada Kabar Baik."16 Ketika Yesus sedang berjalan di tepi Danau Galilea, Ia melihat Simont dan saudaranya, Andreas. Mereka sedang menebarkan jala di danau sebab mereka nelayan.17 Yesus berkata kepada mereka, "Ikutlah Aku. Aku akan mengajar kamu mengumpulkan orang, bukan ikan."18 Simon dan Andreas segera meninggalkan jalanya lalu mengikut Dia.19 Yesus meneruskan perjalanan-Nya. Ia melihat dua orang yang bersaudara: Yakobus dan Yohanes, anak Zebedeus. Mereka sedang mempersiapkan jalanya dalam perahu.20 Dengan segera Yesus memanggil mereka. Yakobus dan Yohanes pun meninggalkan Zebedeus, ayah mereka, di perahu bersama dengan buruh-buruh upahan lalu mereka mengikut Yesus.
Yesus Mengusir Roh Jahat
21 Yesus dan murid-murid-Nya berangkat ke Kapernaum.t Pada hari Sabatt Ia masuk ke rumah pertemuant dan mengajar orang banyak.22 Mereka heran mendengar ajaran-Nya sebab Ia mengajar mereka seperti seorang yang penuh kuasa, bukan seperti guru Taurat.23 Pada waktu itu ada seorang yang kerasukan roh jahat dalam rumah pertemuan. Orang itu berteriak,24 katanya, "Mau apa Engkau terhadap kami, Yesus dari Nazaret? Apakah Engkau datang untuk membinasakan kami? Aku tahu siapa Engkau. Engkau adalah Yang Kudus dari Allah."25 Lalu Yesus menegurnya, kata-Nya, "Diam. Keluar dari orang itu."26 Lalu roh jahat itu membuat orang itu terguncang-guncang dan seluruh tubuhnya kejang. Kemudian roh itu berteriak dan keluar dari orang itu.27 Orang banyak heran sehingga mereka saling bertanya, "Apa yang terjadi di sini? Orang itu mengajarkan sesuatu yang baru. Ia mengajar dengan penuh kuasa. Bahkan Dia memberi perintah kepada roh-roh jahat. Roh-roh jahat itu pun patuh kepada-Nya."28 Berita tentang Yesus sangat cepat tersebar di seluruh daerah Galilea.
Yesus Menyembuhkan Banyak Orang
29 Yesus dan murid-murid-Nya segera meninggalkan rumah pertemuant itu. Mereka pergi ke rumah Petrus dan Andreas bersama dengan Yakobus dan Yohanes.30 Ibu mertua Petrus terbaring di tempat tidur karena demam. Mereka segera memberitahukan hal itu kepada-Nya.31 Ia pergi melihat ibu itu. Ia memegang tangannya dan membantunya berdiri lalu demam itu lenyap. Ibu itu pun sembuh dan segera melayani Yesus dan murid-murid-Nya.32 Malam itu, sesudah matahari terbenam, orang banyak mulai berdatangan membawa orang sakit dan yang kerasukan roh jahat kepada-Nya.33 Seluruh penduduk kota sudah berkumpul di depan pintu rumah itu.34 Yesus menyembuhkan banyak orang sakit dengan berbagai macam keluhan dan juga mengusir banyak roh jahat dari mereka. Yesus tidak mengizinkan roh-roh jahat itu berbicara sebab mereka sudah tahu siapa Dia.
Yesus Memberitakan Kabar Baik
35 Keesokan harinya, ketika hari masih gelap, Yesus bangun dan meninggalkan rumah itu dan pergi sendirian ke tempat yang sunyi untuk berdoa.36 Kemudian Petrus dan teman-temannya pergi mencari Yesus.37 Mereka menemui-Nya dan berkata, "Semua orang mencari Engkau."38 Jawab Yesus, "Kita harus melanjutkan perjalanan ke kota-kota lain di sekitar ini supaya Aku dapat memberitakan firman Allah di sana juga, karena untuk itulah Aku datang."39 Yesus pergi ke seluruh daerah di Galilea dan memberitakan firman Allah di rumah-rumah pertemuant mereka. Di sana Ia mengusir roh-roh jahat.
Yesus Menyembuhkan Orang Berpenyakit Kusta
40 Seorang berpenyakit kusta datang kepada Yesus. Ia menyembah di hadapan Yesus serta memohon kepada-Nya. Katanya, "Jika Engkau mau, Engkau dapat menyembuhkan aku."41 Yesus merasa kasihan pada orang itu. Lalu Ia menjamahnya dan berkata kepadanya, "Aku mau. Sembuhlah."42 Kusta itu segera hilang dari dia, dan dia menjadi sembuh.43 Yesus menyuruhnya pergi, tetapi Ia memperingatkannya dengan tegas,44 kata-Nya, "Jangan katakan apa-apa kepada siapa pun tentang yang telah Kulakukan terhadap engkau, tetapi pergilah dan tunjukkan dirimu kepada imam. Dan berikanlah persembahan kepada Allah sebab engkau telah sembuh, seperti yang diperintahkan oleh Musa.t Itulah sebagai bukti kepada semua orang bahwa engkau sudah sembuh."45 Orang itu pergi lalu menceritakan kepada semua orang yang dilihatnya, bahwa Yesus telah menyembuhkannya, sehingga berita tentang Yesus tersebar ke mana-mana. Oleh sebab itu, Yesus tidak dapat lagi masuk kota secara terang-terangan. Ia harus tinggal di tempat-tempat yang sunyi. Dan orang berdatangan dari mana-mana ke tempat Yesus ada.
Mark 1
Preaching of John the Baptist
1 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
2 As it is written in Isaiah the prophet:
"BEHOLD, I SEND MY MESSENGER AHEAD OF YOU,
WHO WILL PREPARE YOUR WAY;
3 THE VOICE OF ONE CRYING IN THE WILDERNESS,
'MAKE READY THE WAY OF THE LORD,
MAKE HIS PATHS STRAIGHT.'"4 John the Baptist appeared in the wilderness tpreaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.5 And all the country of Judea was going out to him, and all the people of Jerusalem; and they were being baptized by him in the Jordan River, confessing their sins.6 John was clothed with camel's hair and wore a leather belt around his waist, and his diet was locusts and wild honey.7 And he was preaching, and saying, "After me One is coming who is mightier than I, and I am not fit to stoop down and untie the thong of His sandals.8 I baptized you twith water; but He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit."
The Baptism of Jesus
9 In those days Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan.10 Immediately coming up out of the water, He saw the heavens opening, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon Him;11 and a voice came out of the heavens: "You are My beloved Son, in You I am well-pleased."
12 Immediately the Spirit *impelled Him to go out into the wilderness.13 And He was in the wilderness forty days being tempted by Satan; and He was with the wild beasts, and the angels were ministering to Him.
Jesus Preaches in Galilee
14 Now after John had been taken into custody, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God,15 and saying, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel."
16 As He was going along by the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew, the brother of Simon, casting a net in the sea; for they were fishermen.17 And Jesus said to them, "Follow Me, and I will make you become fishers of men."18 Immediately they left their nets and followed Him.19 Going on a little farther, He saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who were also in the boat mending the nets.20 Immediately He called them; and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, and went away to follow Him.
21 They *went into Capernaum; and immediately on the Sabbath He entered the synagogue and began to teach.22 They were amazed at His teaching; for He was teaching them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.23 Just then there was a man in their synagogue with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,24 saying, "What business do we have with each other, Jesus tof Nazareth? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are-the Holy One of God!"25 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, "Be quiet, and come out of him!"26 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 debated among themselves, saying, "What is this? A new teaching with authority! He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey Him."28 Immediately the news about Him spread everywhere into all the surrounding district of Galilee.
Crowds Healed
29 And immediately after they came out of the synagogue, they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.30 Now Simon's mother-in-law was lying sick with a fever; and immediately they *spoke to Jesus about her.31 And He came to her and raised her up, taking her by the hand, and the fever left her, and she twaited on them.
32 When evening came, after the sun had set, they began bringing to Him all who were ill and those who were demon-possessed.33 And the whole city had gathered at the door.34 And He healed many who were ill with various diseases, and cast out many demons; and He was not permitting the demons to speak, because they knew who He was.
35 In the early morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house, and went away to a secluded place, and was praying there.36 Simon and his companions searched for Him;37 they found Him, and *said to Him, "Everyone is looking for You."38 He *said to them, "Let us go somewhere else to the towns nearby, so that I may preach there also; for that is what I came for."39 And He went into their synagogues throughout all Galilee, preaching and casting out the demons.
40 And a leper *came to Jesus, beseeching Him and falling on his knees before Him, and saying, "If You are willing, You can make me clean."41 Moved with compassion, Jesus stretched out His hand and touched him, and *said to him, "I am willing; be cleansed."42 Immediately the leprosy left him and he was cleansed.43 And He sternly warned him and immediately sent him away,44 and He *said to him, "See that you say nothing to anyone; but go, show yourself to the priest and offer for your cleansing what Moses commanded, as a testimony to them."45 But he went out and began to proclaim it freely and to spread the news around, to such an extent that Jesus could no longer publicly enter a city, but tstayed out in unpopulated areas; and they were coming to Him from everywhere.
