* The beginning of the Gospel of Iesus Christ , the Sonne of God : * * The voyce of him that cryeth in the wildernesse is , Prepare the way of the Lord : make his paths straight . * * And al ye countrey of Iudea , &amp ; they of Hierusalem went out vnto him , and were all baptized of him in the riuer Iordan , confessing their sinnes . * Nowe Iohn was clothed with camels heare , and with a girdle of a skinne about his loynes : and he did eate Locusts and wilde hony , * * I indeed have (note :)He shows that all the power of baptism proceeds from Christ , who baptizes the inner man .(:note ) baptized you with water : but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost . * * * And there came a voice from heaven , [saying ], Thou art my beloved Son , in whom I am (note :){{See Mat_3:17 }}(:note ) well pleased . * * And he was there in the wildernesse fourtie daies , and was tempted of Satan : hee was also with the wilde beastes , and the Angels ministred vnto him . * * And saying , The time is fulfilled , and the kingdome of God is at hand : repent and beleeue the Gospel . * * Then Iesus said vnto them , Folow me , and I will make you to be fishers of men . * And straightway they forsooke their nets , and folowed him . * * And anon hee called them : and they left their father Zebedeus in the shippe with his hired seruants , and went their way after him . * And they went into (note :)From the city of Nazareth .(:note ) Capernaum ; and straightway on the sabbath day he entered into the synagogue , and taught . * And they were astonied at his doctrine , for he taught them as one that had authoritie , and not as the Scribes . * * Saying , Let [us ] alone ; what have we to do with thee , thou (note :)He was born in Bethlehem , but through the error of the people he was called a Nazarene , because he was brought up in Nazareth .(:note ) Jesus of Nazareth ? art thou come to destroy us ? I know thee who thou art , the He alludes to the name that was written in the golden plate which the high Priest wore ; ( Exo_28:36 ) Holy One of God . * And Iesus rebuked him , saying , Holde thy peace , and come out of him . * And when the unclean spirit (note :)See below , ( Mar_9:20 ).(:note ) had torn him , and cried with a loud voice , he came out of him . * And they were all amazed , insomuch that they questioned (note :)As men who were amazed .(:note ) among themselves , saying , What thing is this ? what new doctrine [is ] this ? for with authority By his own authority , or as a lord . commandeth he even the unclean spirits , and they do obey him . * And immediately his fame spread abroad throughout all the region (note :)Not only into Galilee , but also into the countries bordering upon it .(:note ) round about Galilee . * * And Symons wiues mother lay sicke of a feuer , and anon they told him of her . * And he came and tooke her by the hand , and lifted her vp , and the feuer forsooke her by and by , and shee ministred vnto them . * And whe euen was come , at what time the sunne setteth , they brought to him all that were diseased , &amp ; them that were possessed with deuils . * And the whole citie was gathered together at the doore . * And he healed many that were sick of divers diseases , and cast out many devils ; and (note :)For it is not proper for the demons to preach the gospel ; ( Act_16:18 )(:note ) suffered not the devils to speak , because they knew him . * And in the morning very early before day , Iesus arose &amp ; went out into a solitarie place , and there praied . * And Simon , and they that were with him , followed carefully after him . * And when they had found him , they sayde vnto him , All men seeke for thee . * And he said unto them , Let us go into the (note :)Villages which were like cities .(:note ) next towns , that I may preach there also : for therefore came I forth . * And hee preached in their Synagogues , throughout all Galile , and cast the deuils out . * * And Iesus had compassion , and put foorth his hand , and touched him , and said to him , I wil : be thou cleane . * And assone as he had spoken , immediatly ye leprosie departed fro him , &amp ; he was made cleane . * And after he had giue him a streight commandement , he sent him away forthwith , * * But when he was departed , hee began to tel many things , and to publish the matter : so that Iesus could no more openly enter into the citie , but was without in desert places : and they came to him from euery quarter .
