Mark 1:16–39

¹⁶Now ^pas 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 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. ²⁰And straightway he called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants, and went after him.

²¹And ^qthey went into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath day he entered ^rinto the synagogue, and taught. ²²And ^sthey were astonished at his doctrine: ^sfor he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes. ²³And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out, ²⁴saying, Let us alone; ^twhat have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? ^uI know thee who thou art, ^vthe Holy One of God. ²⁵And Jesus ^wrebuked him, ^xsaying, ^yHold thy peace, and come out of him. ²⁶And when the unclean spirit had ^ztorn 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 immediately his fame spread abroad throughout all the region round about Galilee.

^29aAnd forthwith, when they were come ^bout 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 ^canon they tell him of her. ³¹And he came and took her by the hand, and lift her up; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them. ³²And at even, ^dwhen the sun did set, they brought unto him all that were diseased, and them that were possessed with devils. ³³And all ^ethe city was gathered together at the door. ³⁴And ^fhe healed many that were sick of divers diseases, and cast out many devils; and ^gsuffered not the devils to speak, because they knew him.

^35hAnd in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and ⁱdeparted into a solitary place, and ⁱthere 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 said unto them, Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also: for ^ktherefore came I forth. ³⁹And he preached ^lin their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and cast out devils.
