5 And there went forth to him all the country of Jewry, and all they of Jerusalem, and were baptized of him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins.📜💬📚

6 And John was clothed with camel's hair, and a girdle of a skin about his loins: and he did eat locusts and wild honey.📜💬📚

7 And he preached, saying: There cometh a stronger than I after me, whose latchet of his shoes I am not worthy stooping down to loose.📜💬📚

8 I have baptized you with water; but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost.📜💬📚

9 And it came to pass, in those days came JESUS from Nazareth of Galilee; and was baptized of John in Jordan.📜💬📚

10 And forthwith coming up out of the water, he saw the Heavens opened, and the Spirit as a dove descending, and remaining on him.📜💬📚

11 And a voice was made from Heaven: Thou art my beloved Son, in thee I am well pleased.📜💬📚

Temptation and Preaching of Jesus

12 And forthwith the Spirit drove him out into the desert.📜💬📚

13 And he was in the desert forty days, and forty nights: and was tempted of Satan, and he was with beasts, and the Angels ministered to him.📜💬📚

14 And after that John was delivered up, JESUS came into Galilee, preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom of God,📜💬📚

15 and saying: That the time is fulfilled, and the Kingdom of God is at hand: be penitent, and believe the Gospel.📜💬📚

First Disciples

16 And passing by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother, casting nets into the sea (for they were fishers)📜💬📚

17 and JESUS said to them: Come after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.📜💬📚

18 And immediately leaving their nets, they followed him.📜💬📚

19 And being gone thence a little further, he saw James of Zebedee, and John his brother, and them repairing their nets in the ship:📜💬📚

20 and forthwith he called them. And leaving their father Zebedee in the ship with his hired men, they followed him.📜💬📚

Jesus Expels an Unclean Spirit

21 And they enter into Capharnaum, and he forthwith upon the Sabboths going into the Synagogue, taught them.📜💬📚

22 And they were astonished at his doctrine. For he was teaching them as having power, and not as the Scribes.📜💬📚

23 And there was in their Synagogue a man in an unclean Spirit; and he cried out,📜💬📚

24 saying: What to us and to thee JESUS of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know who thou art, the Saint of God.📜💬📚

25 And JESUS threatened him, saying: Hold thy peace, and go out of the man.📜💬📚

26 And the unclean Spirit tearing him, and crying out with a great voice, went out of him.📜💬📚

27 And they marveled all, in so much that they questioned among them selves, saying: What thing is this? What is this new doctrine? For with power he commandeth the unclean spirits also, and they obey him.📜💬📚

28 And the bruit of him went forth incontinent into all the country of Galilee.📜💬📚

Jesus Heals at Peter's House

29 And immediately going forth out of the Synagogue, they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.📜💬📚

30 And Simon's wife's mother lay in a fit of a fever: and forthwith they tell him of her.📜💬📚

31 And coming near he lifted her up taking her by the hand: and incontinent the ague left her, and she ministered unto them.📜💬📚

32 And when it was evening after sun set, they brought to him all that were ill at ease and that had devils.📜💬📚

33 And all the city was gathered together at the door.📜💬📚

34 And he cured many that were vexed with diverse diseases; and he cast out many devils, and he suffered not them to speak that they knew him.📜💬📚

Jesus Prays and Preaches

35 And rising very early, and going forth he went into a desert place: and there he prayed.📜💬📚

36 And Simon sought after him, and they that were with him.📜💬📚

37 And when they had found him, they said to him, That all seek for thee.📜💬📚

38 And he saith to them: Let us go into the next towns and cities, that I may preach there also; for to this purpose am I come.📜💬📚

39 And he was preaching in their Synagogues, and in all Galilee, and casting out devils.📜💬📚

Leper's Prayer

40 And a leper cometh to him beseeching him; and kneeling down saith to him: If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.📜💬📚

41 And JESUS having compassion on him, stretched forth his hand; and touching him, he saith unto him: I will. Be thou made clean.📜💬📚

42 And when he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was made clean.📜💬📚

43 And he threatened him, and forthwith cast him forth.📜💬📚

44 And he saith to him: See thou tell no body, but go, shew thyself to the high Priest, and offer for thy cleansing the things that Moyses commanded, for a testimony to them.📜💬📚

45 But he being gone forth, began to publish, and to blase abroad the word: so that now he could not openly go into the city, but was abroad in desert places, and they came together unto him from all sides.📜💬📚
