Mark:1:23-45
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit ;
and he cried out ,
*
Saying ,
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 .
*
And Jesus rebuked him ,
saying ,
Hold thy peace ,
and come out of him .
*
And when the unclean spirit had torn him ,
and cried with a loud voice ,
he came out of him .
*
And 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 .
*
And immediately his fame spread abroad throughout all the region round about Galilee .
*
And forthwith ,
when they were come out of the synagogue ,
they entered into the house of Simon and Andrew ,
with James and John .
*
But Simon '
s wife '
s mother lay sick of a fever ,
and anon they tell him of her .
*
And he came and took her by the hand ,
and lifted her up ;
and immediately the fever left her ,
and she ministered unto them .
*
And at even ,
when the sun did set ,
they brought unto him all that were diseased ,
and them that were possessed with devils .
*
And all the city was gathered together at the door .
*
And 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 .
*
And in the morning ,
rising up a great while before day ,
he went out ,
and departed into a solitary place ,
and there prayed .
*
And Simon and they that were with him followed after him .
*
And when they had found him ,
they said unto him ,
All men seek for thee .
*
And he said unto them ,
Let us go into the next towns ,
that I may preach there also :
for therefore came I forth .
*
And he preached in their synagogues throughout all Galilee ,
and cast out devils .
*
And 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 .
*
And Jesus ,
moved with compassion ,
put forth his hand ,
and touched him ,
and saith unto him ,
I will ;
be thou clean .
*
And as soon as he had spoken ,
immediately the leprosy departed from him ,
and he was cleansed .
*
And he straitly charged him ,
and forthwith sent him away ;
*
And 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 .
*
But he went out ,
and began to publish it much ,
and to blaze abroad the matter ,
insomuch that Jesus could no more openly enter into the city ,
but was without in desert places :
and they came to him from every quarter .
