Mark 1 (WEBP)

[1] The beginning of the Good News of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
[2] As it is written in the prophets, “Behold,§ I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you:
[3] the voice of one crying in the wilderness, ‘Make ready the way of the Lord! Make his paths straight!’ ”
[4] John came baptizing§ in the wilderness and preaching the baptism of repentance for forgiveness of sins.
[5] All the country of Judea and all those of Jerusalem went out to him. They were baptized by him in the Jordan river, confessing their sins.
[6] John was clothed with camel’s hair and a leather belt around his waist. He ate locusts and wild honey.
[7] He preached, saying, “After me comes he who is mightier than I, the thong of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and loosen.
[8] I baptized you in§ water, but he will baptize you in the Holy Spirit.”
[9] In those days, Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John in the Jordan.
[10] Immediately coming up from the water, he saw the heavens parting and the Spirit descending on him like a dove.
[11] A voice came out of the sky, “You are my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
[12] Immediately the Spirit drove him out into the wilderness.
[13] He was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted by Satan. He was with the wild animals; and the angels were serving him.
[14] Now after John was taken into custody, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the Good News of God’s Kingdom,
[15] and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and God’s Kingdom is at hand! Repent, and believe in the Good News.”
[16] Passing along by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew, the brother of Simon, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen.
[17] Jesus said to them, “Come after me, and I will make you into fishers for men.”
[18] Immediately they left their nets, and followed him.
[19] Going on a little further from there, 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 after him.
[21] They went into Capernaum, and immediately on the Sabbath day he entered into the synagogue and taught.
[22] They were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as having authority, and not as the scribes.
[23] Immediately there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit, and he cried out,
[24] saying, “Ha! What do we have to do with you, Jesus, you Nazarene? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are: the Holy One of God!”
[25] Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be quiet, and come out of him!”
[26] The unclean spirit, convulsing him and crying with a loud voice, came out of him.
[27] They were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, “What is this? A new teaching? For with authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him!”
[28] The report of him went out immediately everywhere into all the region of Galilee and its surrounding area.
[29] Immediately, when they had come out of the synagogue, they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
[30] Now Simon’s wife’s mother lay sick with a fever, and immediately they told him about her.
[31] He came and took her by the hand and raised her up. The fever left her immediately,° and she served them.
[32] At evening, when the sun had set, they brought to him all who were sick and those who were possessed by demons.
[33] All the city was gathered together at the door.
[34] He healed many who were sick with various diseases and cast out many demons. He didn’t allow the demons to speak, because they knew him.
[35] Early in the morning, while it was still dark, he rose up and went out, and departed into a deserted place, and prayed there.
[36] Simon and those who were with him searched for him.
[37] They found him and told him, “Everyone is looking for you.”
[38] He said to them, “Let’s go elsewhere into the next towns, that I may preach there also, because I came out for this reason.”
[39] He went into their synagogues throughout all Galilee, preaching and casting out demons.
[40] A leper came to him, begging him, kneeling down to him, and saying to him, “If you want to, you can make me clean.”
[41] Being moved with compassion, he stretched out his hand, and touched him, and said to him, “I want to. Be made clean.”
[42] When he had said this, immediately the leprosy departed from him and he was made clean.
[43] He strictly warned him and immediately sent him out,
[44] and said to him, “See that you say nothing to anybody, but go show yourself to the priest and offer for your cleansing the things which Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.”
[45] But he went out, and began to proclaim it much, and to spread about the matter, so that Jesus could no more openly enter into a city, but was outside in desert places. People came to him from everywhere.

Mark 1 (KJVS)

[1] The beginning G746 of the gospel G2098 of Jesus G2424 Christ G5547, the Son G5207 of God G2316;
[2] As G5613 it is written G1125 (PerfPasInd) in G1722 the prophets G4396, Behold G2400 (Aor2ActImpr), I G1473 send G649 (PresActInd) my G3450 messenger G32 before G4253 thy G4675 face G4383, which G3739 shall prepare G2680 (FutActInd) thy G4675 way G3598 before G1715 thee G4675.
[3] The voice G5456 of one crying G994 (PresActPtc) in G1722 the wilderness G2048, Prepare ye G2090 (AorActImpr) the way G3598 of the Lord G2962, make G4160 (PresActImpr) his G846 paths G5147 straight G2117.
[4] John G2491 did G1096 (Aor2MidDepInd) baptize G907 (PresActPtc) in G1722 the wilderness G2048, and G2532 preach G2784 (PresActPtc) the baptism G908 of repentance G3341 for G1519 the remission G859 of sins G266.
[5] And G2532 there went out G1607 (ImpfMidPasDepInd) unto G4314 him G846 all G3956 the land G5561 of Judaea G2449, and G2532 they of Jerusalem G2415, and G2532 were G907 all G3956 baptized G907 (ImpfPasInd) of G5259 him G846 in G1722 the river G4215 of Jordan G2446, confessing G1843 (PresMidPtc) their G846 sins G266.
[6] And G1161 John G2491 was G2258 (ImpfInd) clothed G1746 (PerfMidPtc) with camel’s G2574 hair G2359, and G2532 with a girdle G2223 of a skin G1193 about G4012 his G846 loins G3751; and G2532 he did eat G2068 (PresActPtc) locusts G200 and G2532 wild G66 honey G3192;
[7] And G2532 preached G2784 (ImpfActInd), saying G3004 (PresActPtc), There cometh G2064 (PresMidPasDepInd) one mightier than G2478 I G3450 after G3694 me G3450, the latchet G2438 of whose G3739 shoes G846 G5266 I am G1510 (PresInd) not G3756 worthy G2425 to stoop down G2955 (AorActPtc) and unloose G3089 (AorActInf).
[8] I G1473 indeed G3303 have baptized G907 (AorActInd) you G5209 with G1722 water G5204: but G1161 he G846 shall baptize G907 (FutActInd) you G5209 with G1722 the Holy G40 Ghost G4151.
[9] And G2532 it came to pass G1096 (Aor2MidDepInd) in G1722 those G1565 days G2250, that Jesus G2424 came G2064 (Aor2ActInd) from G575 Nazareth G3478 of Galilee G1056, and G2532 was baptized G907 (AorPasInd) of G5259 John G2491 in G1519 Jordan G2446.
[10] And G2532 straightway G2112 coming up G305 (PresActPtc) out of G575 the water G5204, he saw G1492 (Aor2ActInd) the heavens G3772 opened G4977 (PresPasPtc), and G2532 the Spirit G4151 like G5616 a dove G4058 descending G2597 (PresActPtc) upon G1909 him G846:
[11] And G2532 there came G1096 (Aor2MidDepInd) a voice G5456 from G1537 heaven G3772, [saying], Thou G4771 art G1488 (PresInd) my G3450 beloved G27 Son G5207, in G1722 whom G3739 I am well pleased G2106 (AorActInd).
[12] And G2532 immediately G2117 the Spirit G4151 driveth G1544 (PresActInd) him G846 into G1519 the wilderness G2048.
[13] And G2532 he was G2258 (ImpfInd) there G1563 in G1722 the wilderness G2048 forty G5062 days G2250, tempted G3985 (PresPasPtc) of G5259 Satan G4567; and G2532 was G2258 (ImpfInd) with G3326 the wild beasts G2342; and G2532 the angels G32 ministered G1247 (ImpfActInd) unto him G846.
[14] Now G1161 after G3326 that John G2491 was put in prison G3860 (AorPasInf), Jesus G2424 came G2064 (Aor2ActInd) into G1519 Galilee G1056, preaching G2784 (PresActPtc) the gospel G2098 of the kingdom G932 of God G2316,
[15] And G2532 saying G3004 (PresActPtc), G3754 The time G2540 is fulfilled G4137 (PerfPasInd), and G2532 the kingdom G932 of God G2316 is at hand G1448 (PerfActInd): repent ye G3340 (PresActImpr), and G2532 believe G4100 (PresActImpr) G1722 the gospel G2098.
[16] Now G1161 as he walked G4043 (PresActPtc) by G3844 the sea G2281 of Galilee G1056, he saw G1492 (Aor2ActInd) Simon G4613 and G2532 Andrew G406 his G846 brother G80 casting G906 (PresActPtc) a net G293 into G1722 the sea G2281: for G1063 they were G2258 (ImpfInd) fishers G231.
[17] And G2532 Jesus G2424 said G2036 (Aor2ActInd) unto them G846, Come ye G1205 (Impr) after G3694 me G3450, and G2532 I will make G4160 (FutActInd) you G5209 to become G1096 (Aor2MidDepInf) fishers G231 of men G444.
[18] And G2532 straightway G2112 they forsook G863 (Aor2ActPtc) their G846 nets G1350, and followed G190 (AorActInd) him G846.
[19] And G2532 when he had gone G4260 a little G3641 further G4260 (Aor2ActPtc) thence G1564, he saw G1492 (Aor2ActInd) James G2385 the [son] G3588 of Zebedee G2199, and G2532 John G2491 his G846 brother G80, who G846 also G2532 were in G1722 the ship G4143 mending G2675 (PresActPtc) their nets G1350.
[20] And G2532 straightway G2112 he called G2564 (AorActInd) them G846: and G2532 they left G863 (Aor2ActPtc) their G846 father G3962 Zebedee G2199 in G1722 the ship G4143 with G3326 the hired servants G3411, and went G565 (Aor2ActInd) after G3694 him G846.
[21] And G2532 they went G1531 (PresMidPasDepInd) into G1519 Capernaum G2584; and G2532 straightway G2112 on the sabbath day G4521 he entered G1525 (Aor2ActPtc) into G1519 the synagogue G4864, and taught G1321 (ImpfActInd).
[22] And G2532 they were astonished G1605 (ImpfPasInd) at G1909 his G846 doctrine G1322: for G1063 he taught G1321 (PresActPtc) G2258 (ImpfInd) them G846 as G5613 one that had G2192 (PresActPtc) authority G1849, and G2532 not G3756 as G5613 the scribes G1122.
[23] And G2532 there was G2258 (ImpfInd) in G1722 their G846 synagogue G4864 a man G444 with G1722 an unclean G169 spirit G4151; and G2532 he cried out G349 (AorActInd),
[24] Saying G3004 (PresActPtc), Let [us] alone G1436; what G5101 have we G2254 to do G2532 with thee G4671, thou Jesus G2424 of Nazareth G3479? art thou come G2064 (Aor2ActInd) to destroy G622 (AorActInf) us G2248? I know G1492 (PerfActInd) thee G4571 who G5101 thou art G1488 (PresInd), the Holy One G40 of God G2316.
[25] And G2532 Jesus G2424 rebuked G2008 (AorActInd) him G846, saying G3004 (PresActPtc), Hold thy peace G5392 (AorPasImpr), and G2532 come G1831 (Aor2ActImpr) out of G1537 him G846.
[26] And G2532 when the unclean G169 spirit G4151 had torn G4682 (AorActPtc) him G846, and G2532 cried G2896 (AorActPtc) with a loud G3173 voice G5456, he came G1831 (Aor2ActInd) out of G1537 him G846.
[27] And G2532 they were G2284 all G3956 amazed G2284 (AorPasInd), insomuch that G5620 they questioned G4802 (PresActInf) among G4314 themselves G846, saying G3004 (PresActPtc), What thing G5101 is G2076 (PresInd) this G3778? what G5101 new G2537 doctrine G1322 [is] this G5124? for G3754 with G2596 authority G1849 commandeth G2004 (PresActInd) he even G2532 the unclean G169 spirits G4151, and G2532 they do obey G5219 (PresActInd) him G846.
[28] And G1161 immediately G2117 his G846 fame G189 spread abroad G1831 (Aor2ActInd) throughout G1519 all G3650 the region round about G4066 Galilee G1056.
[29] And G2532 forthwith G2112, when they were come G1831 (Aor2ActPtc) out of G1537 the synagogue G4864, they entered G2064 (Aor2ActInd) into G1519 the house G3614 of Simon G4613 and G2532 Andrew G406, with G3326 James G2385 and G2532 John G2491.
[30] But G1161 Simon’s G4613 wife’s mother G3994 lay G2621 (ImpfMidPasDepInd) sick of a fever G4445 (PresActPtc), and G2532 anon G2112 they tell G3004 (PresActInd) him G846 of G4012 her G846.
[31] And G2532 he came G4334 (Aor2ActPtc) and took G2902 (AorActPtc) her G846 by the hand G5495, and lifted G1453 her G846 up G1453 (AorActInd); and G2532 immediately G2112 the fever G4446 left G863 (AorActInd) her G846, and G2532 she ministered G1247 (ImpfActInd) unto them G846.
[32] And G1161 at G1096 (Aor2MidDepPtc) even G3798, when G3753 the sun G2246 did set G1416 (Aor2ActInd), they brought G5342 (ImpfActInd) unto G4314 him G846 all G3956 that were G2192 (PresActPtc) diseased G2560, and G2532 them that were possessed with devils G1139 (PresMidPasDepPtc).
[33] And G2532 all G3650 the city G4172 was G2258 (ImpfInd) gathered together G1996 (PerfPasPtc) at G4314 the door G2374.
[34] And G2532 he healed G2323 (AorActInd) many G4183 that were G2192 (PresActPtc) sick G2560 of divers G4164 diseases G3554, and G2532 cast out G1544 (Aor2ActInd) many G4183 devils G1140; and G2532 suffered G863 (ImpfActInd) not G3756 the devils G1140 to speak G2980 (PresActInf), because G3754 they knew G1492 (PlupfActInd) him G846.
[35] And G2532 in the morning G4404, rising up G450 (Aor2ActPtc) a great while G3029 before day G1773, he went out G1831 (Aor2ActInd), and G2532 departed G565 (Aor2ActInd) into G1519 a solitary G2048 place G5117, and there G2546 prayed G4336 (ImpfMidPasDepInd).
[36] And G2532 Simon G4613 and G2532 they that were with G3326 him G846 followed after G2614 (AorActInd) him G846.
[37] And G2532 when they had found G2147 (Aor2ActPtc) him G846, they said G3004 (PresActInd) unto him G846, G3754 All G3956 [men] seek G2212 (PresActInd) for thee G4571.
[38] And G2532 he said G3004 (PresActInd) unto them G846, Let us go G71 (PresActSubj) into G1519 the next G2192 (PresPasPtc) towns G2969, that G2443 I may preach G2784 (AorActSubj) there also G2546: for G1063 therefore G1519 G5124 came I forth G1831 (PerfActInd).
[39] And G2532 he preached G2784 (PresActPtc) G2258 (ImpfInd) in G1722 their G846 synagogues G4864 throughout G1519 all G3650 Galilee G1056, and G2532 cast out G1544 (PresActPtc) devils G1140.
[40] And G2532 there came G2064 (PresMidPasDepInd) a leper G3015 to G4314 him G846, beseeching G3870 (PresActPtc) him G846, and G2532 kneeling down G1120 (PresActPtc) to him G846, and G2532 saying G3004 (PresActPtc) unto him G846, G3754 If G1437 thou wilt G2309 (PresActSubj), thou canst G1410 (PresMidPasDepInd) make G2511 me G3165 clean G2511 (AorActInf).
[41] And G1161 Jesus G2424, moved with compassion G4697 (AorPasDepPtc), put forth G1614 (AorActPtc) [his] hand G5495, and touched G680 (AorMidDepInd) him G846, and G2532 saith G3004 (PresActInd) unto him G846, I will G2309 (PresActInd); be thou clean G2511 (AorPasImpr).
[42] And G2532 as soon as he G846 had spoken G2036 (Aor2ActPtc), immediately G2112 the leprosy G3014 departed G565 (Aor2ActInd) from G575 him G846, and G2532 he was cleansed G2511 (AorPasInd).
[43] And G2532 he straitly charged G1690 (AorMidDepPtc) him G846, and forthwith G2112 sent G1544 him G846 away G1544 (Aor2ActInd);
[44] And G2532 saith G3004 (PresActInd) unto him G846, See G3708 (PresActImpr) thou say G2036 (Aor2ActSubj) nothing G3367 to any man G3367: but G235 go thy way G5217 (PresActImpr), shew G1166 (AorActImpr) thyself G4572 to the priest G2409, and G2532 offer G4374 (Aor2ActImpr) for G4012 thy G4675 cleansing G2512 those things G3739 which Moses G3475 commanded G4367 (AorActInd), for G1519 a testimony G3142 unto them G846.
[45] But G1161 he went out G1831 (Aor2ActPtc), and began G756 (AorMidDepInd) to publish G2784 (PresActInf) [it] much G4183, and G2532 to blaze abroad G1310 (PresActInf) the matter G3056, insomuch that G5620 Jesus G846 could G1410 (PresMidPasDepInf) no more G3371 openly G5320 enter G1525 (Aor2ActInf) into G1519 the city G4172, but G235 was G2258 (ImpfInd) without G1854 in G1722 desert G2048 places G5117: and G2532 they came G2064 (ImpfMidPasDepInd) to G4314 him G846 from every quarter G3836.

Young’s Literal Translation

Mark 1 (YLT)

[1] A beginning of the good news of Jesus Christ, Son of God.
[2] As it hath been written in the prophets, ‘Lo, I send My messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee,’-
[3] ‘A voice of one calling in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, straight make ye his paths,’-
[4] John came baptizing in the wilderness, and proclaiming a baptism of reformation-to remission of sins,
[5] and there were going forth to him all the region of Judea, and they of Jerusalem, and they were all baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.
[6] And John was clothed with camel’s hair, and a girdle of skin around his loins, and eating locusts and honey of the field,
[7] and he proclaimed, saying, ‘He doth come-who is mightier than I-after me, of whom I am not worthy-having stooped down-to loose the latchet of his sandals;
[8] I indeed did baptize you with water, but he shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit.’
[9] And it came to pass in those days, Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John at the Jordan;
[10] and immediately coming up from the water, he saw the heavens dividing, and the Spirit as a dove coming down upon him;
[11] and a voice came out of the heavens, ‘Thou art My Son-the Beloved, in whom I did delight.’
[12] And immediately doth the Spirit put him forth to the wilderness,
[13] and he was there in the wilderness forty days, being tempted by the Adversary, and he was with the beasts, and the messengers were ministering to him.
[14] And after the delivering up of John, Jesus came to Galilee, proclaiming the good news of the reign of God,
[15] and saying-‘Fulfilled hath been the time, and the reign of God hath come nigh, reform ye, and believe in the good news.’
[16] And, walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon, and Andrew his brother, casting a drag into the sea, for they were fishers,
[17] and Jesus said to them, ‘Come ye after me, and I shall make you to become fishers of men;’
[18] and immediately, having left their nets, they followed him.
[19] And having gone on thence a little, he saw James of Zebedee, and John his brother, and they were in the boat refitting the nets,
[20] and immediately he called them, and, having left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, they went away after him.
[21] And they go on to Capernaum, and immediately, on the sabbaths, having gone into the synagogue, he was teaching,
[22] and they were astonished at his teaching, for he was teaching them as having authority, and not as the scribes.
[23] And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit, and he cried out,
[24] saying, ‘Away! what-to us and to thee, Jesus the Nazarene? thou didst come to destroy us; I have known thee who thou art-the Holy One of God.’
[25] And Jesus rebuked him, saying, ‘Be silenced, and come forth out of him,’
[26] and the unclean spirit having torn him, and having cried with a great voice, came forth out of him,
[27] and they were all amazed, so as to reason among themselves, saying, ‘What is this? what new teaching is this? that with authority also the unclean spirits he commandeth, and they obey him!’
[28] And the fame of him went forth immediately to all the region, round about, of Galilee.
[29] And immediately, having come forth out of the synagogue, they went to the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John,
[30] and the mother-in-law of Simon was lying fevered, and immediately they tell him about her,
[31] and having come near, he raised her up, having laid hold of her hand, and the fever left her immediately, and she was ministering to them.
[32] And evening having come, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all who were ill, and who were demoniacs,
[33] and the whole city was gathered together near the door,
[34] and he healed many who were ill of manifold diseases, and many demons he cast forth, and was not suffering the demons to speak, because they knew him.
[35] And very early, it being yet night, having risen, he went forth, and went away to a desert place, and was there praying;
[36] and Simon and those with him went in quest of him,
[37] and having found him, they say to him,-‘All do seek thee;’
[38] and he saith to them, ‘We may go to the next towns, that there also I may preach, for for this I came forth.’
[39] And he was preaching in their synagogues, in all Galilee, and is casting out the demons,
[40] and there doth come to him a leper, calling on him, and kneeling to him, and saying to him-‘If thou mayest will, thou art able to cleanse me.’
[41] And Jesus having been moved with compassion, having stretched forth the hand, touched him, and saith to him, ‘I will; be thou cleansed;’
[42] and he having spoken, immediately the leprosy went away from him, and he was cleansed.
[43] And having sternly charged him, immediately he put him forth,
[44] and saith to him, ‘See thou mayest say nothing to any one, but go away, thyself shew to the priest, and bring near for thy cleansing the things Moses directed, for a testimony to them.’
[45] And he, having gone forth, began to proclaim much, and to spread abroad the thing, so that no more he was able openly to enter into the city, but he was without in desert places, and they were coming unto him from every quarter.
