²As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.

⁴John came, who baptized in the wilderness and preached the baptism of repentance unto remission of sins.

⁴John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.

⁵And there went out unto him all the country of Judæa, and all they of Jerusalem; and they were baptized of him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.

⁶And John was clothed with camel’s hair, and had a leathern girdle about his loins, and did eat locusts and wild honey.

⁵And there went out unto him all the land of Judea, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized of him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins.

⁶And John was clothed with camel’s hair, and with a girdle of a skin about his loins; and he did eat locusts and wild honey;

⁷And he preached, saying, There cometh after me he that is mightier than I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose.

⁷And preached, saying, There cometh one mightier than I after me, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose.

⁸I baptized you in water; but he shall baptize you in the Holy Spirit.

⁸I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost.

⁹And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in the Jordan.

¹⁰And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens rent asunder, and the Spirit as a dove descending upon him: ¹¹and a voice came out of the heavens, Thou art my beloved Son, in thee I am well pleased.

¹¹And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

¹²And straightway the Spirit driveth him forth into the wilderness.

¹²And immediately the Spirit driveth him into the wilderness.

¹³And he was in the wilderness forty days tempted of Satan; and he was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto him.

¹⁴Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,

¹⁵And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.

¹⁶And passing along by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew the brother of Simon casting a net in the sea; for they were fishers.

¹⁷And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.

¹⁸And straightway they left the nets, and followed him.

¹⁶Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.

¹⁷And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.

¹⁸And straightway they forsook their nets, and followed him.

¹⁹And going on a little further, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the boat mending the nets.

²⁰And straightway he called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, and went after him.

¹⁹And when he had gone a little further thence, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the ship mending their nets.

²²And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes.

²³And straightway there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out, ²⁴saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus thou Nazarene? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.

²⁵And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him.

²⁶And the unclean spirit, tearing him and crying with a loud voice, came out of him.

²⁷And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What is this? a new teaching! with authority he commandeth even the unclean spirits, and they obey him.

²³And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,

²⁴Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.

²⁵And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him.

²⁶And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him.

²⁷And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What thing is this? what new doctrine is this? for with authority commandeth he even the unclean spirits, and they do obey him.

²⁸And the report of him went out straightway everywhere into all the region of Galilee round about.

²⁸And immediately his fame spread abroad throughout all the region round about Galilee.

²⁹And straightway, when they were come out of the synagogue, they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.

³⁰Now Simon’s wife’s mother lay sick of a fever; and straightway they tell him of her: ³¹and he came and took her by the hand, and raised her up; and the fever left her, and she ministered unto them.

²⁹And forthwith, when they were come out of the synagogue, they entered into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.

³⁰But Simon’s wife’s mother lay sick of a fever, and anon they tell him of her.

³¹And he came and took her by the hand, and lifted her up; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them.

³²And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all that were sick, and them that were possessed with demons.

³³And all the city was gathered together at the door.

³⁴And he healed many that were sick with divers diseases, and cast out many demons; and he suffered not the demons to speak, because they knew him.

³⁵And in the morning, a great while before day, he rose up and went out, and departed into a desert place, and there prayed.

³⁶And Simon and they that were with him followed after him; ³⁷and they found him, and say unto him, All are seeking thee.

³²And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all that were diseased, and them that were possessed with devils.

³⁴And he healed many that were sick of divers diseases, and cast out many devils; and suffered not the devils to speak, because they knew him.

³⁵And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.

³⁶And Simon and they that were with him followed after him.

³⁷And when they had found him, they said unto him, All men seek for thee.

³⁸And he saith unto them, Let us go elsewhere into the next towns, that I may preach there also; for to this end came I forth.

³⁹And he went into their synagogues throughout all Galilee, preaching and casting out demons.

⁴⁰And there cometh to him a leper, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

⁴¹And being moved with compassion, he stretched forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou made clean.

⁴²And straightway the leprosy departed from him, and he was made clean.

³⁸And he said unto them, Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also: for therefore came I forth.

³⁹And he preached in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and cast out devils.

⁴⁰And there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

⁴¹And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean.

⁴²And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed.

⁴³And he strictly charged him, and straightway sent him out, ⁴⁴and saith unto him, See thou say nothing to any man: but go show thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing the things which Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.

⁴³And he straitly charged him, and forthwith sent him away;

⁴⁴And saith unto him, See thou say nothing to any man: but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing those things which Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.

⁴⁵But he went out, and began to publish it much, and to spread abroad the matter, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly enter into a city, but was without in desert places: and they came to him from every quarter.
