Holy Bible - New American Standard Version(NASV)

1:1	The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
1:2	As it is written in Isaiah the prophet: "Behold, I send My messenger ahead of You, Who will prepare Your way;
1:3	The voice of one crying in the wilderness, 'Make ready the way of the Lord, Make His paths straight.' "
1:4	John the Baptist appeared in the wilderness preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.
1:5	And all the country of Judea was going out to him, and all the people of Jerusalem; and they were being baptized by him in the Jordan River, confessing their sins.
1:6	John was clothed with camel's hair and wore a leather belt around his waist, and his diet was locusts and wild honey.
1:7	And he was preaching, and saying, "After me One is coming who is mightier than I, and I am not fit to stoop down and untie the thong of His sandals.
1:8	"I baptized you with water; but He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit."
1:9	In those days Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan.
1:10	Immediately coming up out of the water, He saw the heavens opening, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon Him;
1:11	and a voice came out of the heavens: "You are My beloved Son, in You I am well-pleased."
1:12	Immediately the Spirit impelled Him to go out into the wilderness.
1:13	And He was in the wilderness forty days being tempted by Satan; and He was with the wild beasts, and the angels were ministering to Him.
1:14	Now after John had been taken into custody, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God,
1:15	and saying, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel."
1:16	As He was going along by the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew, the brother of Simon, casting a net in the sea; for they were fishermen.
1:17	And Jesus said to them, "Follow Me, and I will make you become fishers of men."
1:18	Immediately they left their nets and followed Him.
1:19	Going on a little farther, He saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who were also in the boat mending the nets.
1:20	Immediately He called them; and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, and went away to follow Him.
1:21	They went into Capernaum; and immediately on the Sabbath He entered the synagogue and began to teach.
1:22	They were amazed at His teaching; for He was teaching them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.
1:23	Just then there was a man in their synagogue with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,
1:24	saying, "What business do we have with each other, Jesus of Nazareth? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are--the Holy One of God!"
1:25	And Jesus rebuked him, saying, "Be quiet, and come out of him!"
1:26	Throwing him into convulsions, the unclean spirit cried out with a loud voice and came out of him.
1:27	They were all amazed, so that they debated among themselves, saying, "What is this? A new teaching with authority! He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey Him."
1:28	Immediately the news about Him spread everywhere into all the surrounding district of Galilee.
1:29	And immediately after they came out of the synagogue, they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
1:30	Now Simon's mother-in-law was lying sick with a fever; and immediately they spoke to Jesus about her.
1:31	And He came to her and raised her up, taking her by the hand, and the fever left her, and she waited on them.
1:32	When evening came, after the sun had set, they began bringing to Him all who were ill and those who were demon-possessed.
1:33	And the whole city had gathered at the door.
1:34	And He healed many who were ill with various diseases, and cast out many demons; and He was not permitting the demons to speak, because they knew who He was.
1:35	In the early morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house, and went away to a secluded place, and was praying there.
1:36	Simon and his companions searched for Him;
1:37	they found Him, and said to Him, "Everyone is looking for You."
1:38	He said to them, "Let us go somewhere else to the towns nearby, so that I may preach there also; for that is what I came for."
1:39	And He went into their synagogues throughout all Galilee, preaching and casting out the demons.
1:40	And a leper came to Jesus, beseeching Him and falling on his knees before Him, and saying, "If You are willing, You can make me clean."
1:41	Moved with compassion, Jesus stretched out His hand and touched him, and said to him, "I am willing; be cleansed."
1:42	Immediately the leprosy left him and he was cleansed.
1:43	And He sternly warned him and immediately sent him away,
1:44	and He 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, as a testimony to them."
1:45	But he went out and began to proclaim it freely and to spread the news around, to such an extent that Jesus could no longer publicly enter a city, but stayed out in unpopulated areas; and they were coming to Him from everywhere.
