Mark 1:26-45 ▼

26 And the unclean spirit, convulsing him and crying with a great voice, came out from him.

27 And they were all astonished, so that they were inquiring one to another, saying, What is this? what new teaching is this? Because according to authority He commands the unclean spirits, and they obey Him;

28 and His fame went out immediately into all the surrounding country of Galilee.

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

30 And the mother-in-law of Simon was lying down burning with fever; and immediately they speak to Him concerning her:

31 And having come to her, taking her by the hand, He raised her up; and immediately the fever left her, and she continued to minister unto them.

32 And it being evening, when the sun went down, they were carrying to Him all the sick and demonized;

33 and the whole city was gathered to the door.

34 And He healed many who were afflicted with various diseases, and He cast out many demons; and did not suffer the demons to speak, because they knew Him.

35 And in the morning, exceedingly early, while it was yet night, having arisen up He came out, and went away into a desert place, and was praying there.

36 And Simon and those who were with him followed Him.

37 And they found Him, and say to Him, All are seeking after thee.

38 And He says to them, Let us go into the surrounding villages and cities, that I may preach there; for unto this I have come out.

39 And He was preaching in their synagogues in all Galilee, and casting out the demons.

40 And a leper comes to Him, entreating Him, and bowing the knee to Him, and saying to Him, That if thou mayest be willing, thou art able to cleanse me.

41 And Jesus being moved with compassion, reaching forth His hand, touched him, and says to him, I will; be thou cleansed.

42 And He speaking, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed.

43 And charging him, He immediately sent him away,

44 and says to him, See that you may speak nothing to any one: but go, show thyself unto the priest, and offer for thy cleansing those things which Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.

45 And he having gone out, began to proclaim many things, and to publish abroad the word, so that He was no longer able openly to come into the city, but was out in desert places: and they continued to come to Him from all directions.
