2 As it is written in the Prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. As it is written in Isaiah the prophet, “Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way, as it is written in Isaiah the prophet: “I will send my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way” —
3 The voyce of him that cryeth in the wildernesse is, Prepare the way of the Lord: make his paths straight. the voice of one crying in the wilderness: ‘Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight,’” “a voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him.’”
4 Iohn did baptize in the wildernesse, and preach the baptisme of amendement of life, for remission of sinnes. John appeared, baptizing in the wilderness and proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. And so John the Baptist appeared in the wilderness, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.

John wore clothing made of camel’s hair, with a leather belt around his waist, and he ate locusts and wild honey.
7 And preached, saying, A stronger then I commeth after me, whose shoes latchet I am not worthy to stoupe downe, and vnloose. And he preached, saying, “After me comes he who is mightier than I, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie. And this was his message: “After me comes the one more powerful than I, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie.
8 Trueth it is, I haue baptized you with water: but he will baptize you with the holy Ghost. I have baptized you with water, but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.” I baptize you with water, but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.”
9 And it came to passe in those dayes, that Iesus came from Nazareth, a citie of Galile, and was baptized of Iohn in Iordan. In those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan. At that time Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan.
10 And assoone as he was come out of the water, Iohn saw the heauens clouen in twaine, and the holy Ghost descending vpo him like a doue. And when he came up out of the water, immediately he saw the heavens being torn open and the Spirit descending on him like a dove. Just as Jesus was coming up out of the water, he saw heaven being torn open and the Spirit descending on him like a dove.
11 Then there was a voyce from heauen, saying, Thou art my beloued Sonne, in whome I am well pleased. And a voice came from heaven, “You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased.” And a voice came from heaven: “You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased.”

13 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 he was in the wilderness forty days, being tempted by Satan. And he was with the wild animals, and the angels were ministering to him. and he was in the wilderness forty days, being tempted by Satan. He was with the wild animals, and angels attended him.
14 Now after that Iohn was committed to prison, Iesus came into Galile, preaching the Gospel of the kingdome of God, Now after John was arrested, Jesus came into Galilee, proclaiming the gospel of God, After John was put in prison, Jesus went into Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God.
15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdome of God is at hand: repent and beleeue the Gospel. and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.” “The time has come,” he said. “The kingdom of God has come near.

16 And as he walked by the sea of Galile, he saw Simon, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea, (for they were fishers.) Passing alongside the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew the brother of Simon casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen. As Jesus walked beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen.
17 Then Iesus said vnto them, Folow me, and I will make you to be fishers of men. And Jesus said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you become fishers of men.” “Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will send you out to fish for people.”

And going on a little farther, he saw James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, who were in their boat mending the nets. When he had gone a little farther, he saw James son of Zebedee and his brother John in a boat, preparing their nets.
20 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 immediately he called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants and followed him. Without delay he called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men and followed him.

22 And they were astonied at his doctrine, for he taught them as one that had authoritie, and not as the Scribes. And they were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as one who had authority, and not as the scribes. The people were amazed at his teaching, because he taught them as one who had authority, not as the teachers of the law.
23 And there was in their Synagogue a man in whome was an vncleane spirite, and hee cried out, And immediately there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit. And he cried out, Just then a man in their synagogue who was possessed by an impure spirit cried out,
24 Saying, Ah, what haue we to do with thee, O Iesus of Nazareth? Art thou come to destroy vs? I knowe thee what thou art, euen that holy one of God. “What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God.” “What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God!”
25 And Iesus rebuked him, saying, Holde thy peace, and come out of him. But Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be silent, and come out of him!” “Be quiet!” said Jesus sternly. “Come out of him!”
26 And the vncleane spirit tare him, & cried with a loude voyce, and came out of him. And the unclean spirit, convulsing him and crying out with a loud voice, came out of him. The impure spirit shook the man violently and came out of him with a shriek.
27 And they were all amased, so that they demaunded one of another, saying, What thing is this? what newe doctrine is this? for he commandeth euen the foule spirites with authoritie, and they obey him. And they were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, “What is this? A new teaching with authority! He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him.” The people were all so amazed that they asked each other, “What is this? A new teaching—and with authority! He even gives orders to impure spirits and they obey him.”

And rising very early in the morning, while it was still dark, he departed and went out to a desolate place, and there he prayed.

37 And when they had found him, they sayde vnto him, All men seeke for thee. and they found him and said to him, “Everyone is looking for you.” and when they found him, they exclaimed: “Everyone is looking for you!”
38 Then he said vnto them, Let vs go into the next townes, that I may preach there also: for I came out for that purpose. And he said to them, “Let us go on to the next towns, that I may preach there also, for that is why I came out.” Jesus replied, “Let us go somewhere else—to the nearby villages—so I can preach there also. That is why I have come.”
39 And hee preached in their Synagogues, throughout all Galile, and cast the deuils out. And he went throughout all Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and casting out demons. So he traveled throughout Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and driving out demons.
40 And there came a leper to him, beseeching him, & kneeled downe vnto him, & said to him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me cleane. And a leper came to him, imploring him, and kneeling said to him, “If you will, you can make me clean.” A man with leprosy came to him and begged him on his knees, “If you are willing, you can make me clean.”
41 And Iesus had compassion, and put foorth his hand, and touched him, and said to him, I wil: be thou cleane. Moved with pity, he stretched out his hand and touched him and said to him, “I will; be clean.” Jesus was indignant. He reached out his hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!”

43 And after he had giue him a streight commandement, he sent him away forthwith, And Jesus sternly charged him and sent him away at once, Jesus sent him away at once with a strong warning:
44 And sayde vnto him, See thou say nothing to any man, but get thee hence, and shewe thy selfe to the Priest, and offer for thy clensing those things, which Moses commaunded, for a testimoniall vnto them. and said to him, “See that you say nothing to anyone, but go, show yourself to the priest and offer for your cleansing what Moses commanded, for a proof to them.” “See that you don’t tell this to anyone. But go, show yourself to the priest and offer the sacrifices that Moses commanded for your cleansing, as a testimony to them.”
45 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. But he went out and began to talk freely about it, and to spread the news, so that Jesus could no longer openly enter a town, but was out in desolate places, and people were coming to him from every quarter.
