Mark 1:21–45

^21*And ^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 lifted 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.

^40mAnd there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and ⁿkneeling down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. ⁴¹And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean. ⁴²And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed. ⁴³And he ^ostraitly charged him, and forthwith ^psent him away; ⁴⁴And 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. ^45qBut he went out, and began to publish it much, and ^rto blaze abroad the matter, insomuch that Jesus ^scould no more openly enter into the city, but was without in desert places: ^tand they came to him from every quarter.
