Mark 1:21–45

²¹And they entered into Capharnaum: and forthwith upon the sabbath days going into the synagogue, he taught them.

²²And they were astonished at his doctrine. For he was teaching them as one having power, and not as the scribes.

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

²⁴Saying: What have we to do with thee, Jesus of Nazareth? Art thou come to destroy us? I know who thou art, the Holy One of God.

²⁵And Jesus threatened him, saying: Speak no more, and go out of the man.

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

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

²⁸And the fame of him was spread forthwith into all the country of Galilee.

²⁹And immediately going out of the synagogue they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.

³⁰And Simon’s wife’s mother lay in a fit of a fever: and forthwith they tell him of her.

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

³²And when it was evening, after sunset, they brought to him all that were ill and that were possessed with devils.

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

³⁴And he healed many that were troubled with divers diseases. And he cast out many devils: and he suffered them not to speak, because they knew him.

³⁵And rising very early, going out, he went into a desert place: and there he prayed.

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

³⁷And when they had found him, they said to him: All seek for thee.

³⁸And he saith to them: Let us go into the neighbouring towns and cities, that I may preach there also; for to this purpose am I come.

³⁹And he was preaching in their synagogues and in all Galilee and casting out devils.

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

⁴¹And Jesus, having compassion on him, stretched forth his hand and touching him saith to him: I will. Be thou made clean.

⁴²And when he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him: and he was made clean.

⁴³And he strictly charged him and forthwith sent him away.

⁴⁴And he saith to him: See thou tell no one; but go, shew thyself to the high priest and offer for thy cleansing the things that Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.

⁴⁵But he being gone out, began to publish and to blaze abroad the word: so that he could not openly go into the city. but was without in desert places. And they flocked to him from all sides.
