Mark 1:26-45 ▼

26 and when the unclean spirit had thrown him into convulsions, with a loud cry, he came out of him.

27 at which they were all so amazed, that they ask'd one another, what's the meaning of all this? what new doctrine is here? for he commands with authority even the unclean spirits, and they obey him.

28 upon this his fame immediately spread abroad over all the region of Galilee.

29 As soon as they were come out of the synagogue, they went with James and John into the house of Simon and Andrew,

30 where Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever, who presently acquainted Jesus with it.

31 and he came, and taking her by the hand, lift her up; upon which the fever immediately left her, and she served them at table.

32 In the evening, when the sun was set, they brought to him many diseased, and several demoniacks.

33 the whole town being assembled before the door.

34 and he healed many that were variously affected with diseases, and cast out many demons, not allowing them to say that they knew him.

35 On the morrow rising up, while it was yet dark, he went out, and retired into a solitary place, where he prayed.

36 Simon, and the rest of his company, followed after him.

37 and when they had found him, they said, the people are seeking for you.

38 and he said unto them, let us go into the neighbouring villages, that I may preach there likewise, for that was the design of my coming.

39 and he preached in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and cast out demons.

40 And there came a leper to him, who fell on his knees, and thus address'd him, "if you will, you can heal me."

41 Jesus then mov'd with compassion, held out his hand, and touching him, said, I will, be thou healed.

42 and while he was speaking, the leprosy left him in an instant, and he was cur'd.

43 immediately Jesus sent him away, severely charging him, have a care,

44 said he, how you take the least notice of this to any man: but go, show your self to the priest, and offer for your cure what Moses commanded, that this may serve as a testimony against them.

45 but as soon as he was gone, he began freely to talk of it, and blazed it about every where, so that Jesus could not go publickly into the city any more, but stay'd in the out parts, which were not much frequented, where people came to him from every quarter.
