rsv@Mark:1:1 @ The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

rsv@Mark:1:2 @ As it is written in Isaiah the prophet, "Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way;

rsv@Mark:1:3 @ the voice of one crying in the wilderness: Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight--"

rsv@Mark:1:4 @ John the baptizer appeared in the wilderness, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.

rsv@Mark:1:5 @ And there went out to him all the country of Judea, and all the people of Jerusalem; and they were baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.

rsv@Mark:1:6 @ Now John was clothed with camel's hair, and had a leather girdle around his waist, and ate locusts and wild honey.

rsv@Mark:1:7 @ And 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 untie.

rsv@Mark:1:8 @ I have baptized you with water; but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit."

rsv@Mark:1:9 @ In those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan.

rsv@Mark:1:10 @ And when he came up out of the water, immediately he saw the heavens opened and the Spirit descending upon him like a dove;

rsv@Mark:1:11 @ and a voice came from heaven, "Thou art my beloved Son; with thee I am well pleased."

rsv@Mark:1:12 @ The Spirit immediately drove him out into the wilderness.

rsv@Mark:1:13 @ And he was in the wilderness forty days, tempted by Satan; and he was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered to him.

rsv@Mark:1:14 @ Now after John was arrested, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God,

rsv@Mark:1:15 @ and saying, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent, and believe in the gospel."

rsv@Mark:1:16 @ And 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 fishermen.

rsv@Mark:1:17 @ And Jesus said to them, "Follow me and I will make you become fishers of men."

rsv@Mark:1:18 @ And immediately they left their nets and followed him.

rsv@Mark:1:19 @ And going on a little farther, he saw James the son of Zeb'edee and John his brother, who were in their boat mending the nets.

rsv@Mark:1:20 @ And immediately he called them; and they left their father Zeb'edee in the boat with the hired servants, and followed him.

rsv@Mark:1:21 @ And they went into Caper'na-um; and immediately on the sabbath he entered the synagogue and taught.

rsv@Mark:1:22 @ And they were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as one who had authority, and not as the scribes.

rsv@Mark:1:23 @ And immediately there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit;

rsv@Mark:1:24 @ and he cried out, "What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are, the Holy One of God."

rsv@Mark:1:25 @ But Jesus rebuked him, saying, "Be silent, and come out of him!"

rsv@Mark:1:26 @ And the unclean spirit, convulsing him and crying with a loud voice, came out of him.

rsv@Mark:1:27 @ And they were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, "What is this? A new teaching! With authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him."

rsv@Mark:1:28 @ And at once his fame spread everywhere throughout all the surrounding region of Galilee.

rsv@Mark:1:29 @ And immediately he left the synagogue, and entered the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.

rsv@Mark:1:30 @ Now Simon's mother-in-law lay sick with a fever, and immediately they told him of her.

rsv@Mark:1:31 @ And he came and took her by the hand and lifted her up, and the fever left her; and she served them.

rsv@Mark:1:32 @ That evening, at sundown, they brought to him all who were sick or possessed with demons.

rsv@Mark:1:33 @ And the whole city was gathered together about the door.

rsv@Mark:1:34 @ And he healed many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons; and he would not permit the demons to speak, because they knew him.

rsv@Mark:1:35 @ And in the morning, a great while before day, he rose and went out to a lonely place, and there he prayed.

rsv@Mark:1:36 @ And Simon and those who were with him pursued him,

rsv@Mark:1:37 @ and they found him and said to him, "Every one is searching for you."

rsv@Mark:1:38 @ And he said to them, "Let us go on to the next towns, that I may preach there also; for that is why I came out."

rsv@Mark:1:39 @ And he went throughout all Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and casting out demons.

rsv@Mark:1:40 @ And a leper came to him beseeching him, and kneeling said to him, "If you will, you can make me clean."

rsv@Mark:1:41 @ Moved with pity, he stretched out his hand and touched him, and said to him, "I will; be clean."

rsv@Mark:1:42 @ And immediately the leprosy left him, and he was made clean.

rsv@Mark:1:43 @ And he sternly charged him, and sent him away at once,

rsv@Mark:1:44 @ and said to him, "See that you say nothing to any one; but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing what Moses commanded, for a proof to the people."

rsv@Mark:1:45 @ But he went out and began to talk freely about it, and to spread the news, so that Jesus could no longer openly enter a town, but was out in the country; and people came to him from every quarter.
