The King James Version

Chapter 1 (CV)

¹ The beginning of the evangel of Jesus Christ, Son of God,
² according as it is written in Isaiah the prophet, (Lo! I am dispatching My messenger before Thy face, who shall be constructing Thy road in front of Thee.):
³ "The voice of one imploring: 'In the wilderness make ready the road of the Lord! Straight...be making the highways'" of Him!
⁴ John the baptist came to be in the wilderness and is heralding a baptism of repentance for the pardon of sins.
⁵ And out to him went the entire province of Judea, and all the Jerusalemites, and they were baptized by him in the Jordan river, confessing their sins.
⁶ And John was dressed in camel's hair, and had a leather girdle about his loins, and was eating locusts and wild honey.
⁷ And he heralds, saying, "Coming, after me, is One stronger than I, the thong of Whose sandals I am not competent to stoop and loose.
⁸ I, indeed, baptize you in water, yet He shall be baptizing you in holy spirit."
⁹ And it occurred in those days that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and is baptized in the Jordan by John.
¹⁰ And straightway, stepping up out of the water, He perceived the heavens rent, and the spirit, as a dove, descending and remaining on Him.
¹¹ And a voice came out of the heavens, "Thou art My Son, the Beloved; in Thee I delight."
¹² And straightway the spirit is ejecting Him into the wilderness.
¹³ And He was in the wilderness forty days, undergoing trial by Satan, and was with the wild beasts. And messengers waited on Him.
¹⁴ Now, after the giving up of John, Jesus came into Galilee, heralding the evangel of the kingdom of God,
¹⁵ saying that "Fulfilled is the era, and near is the kingdom of God! Repent, and believe in the evangel!"
¹⁶ And passing by, beside the sea of Galilee, He perceived Simon, and Andrew, the brother of Simon, purse netting with a purse net in the sea, for they were fishers.
¹⁷ And Jesus said to them, "Hither! After Me, and I will make you become fishers of men!"
¹⁸ And immediately, leaving their nets, they follow Him.
¹⁹ And advancing slightly, He perceived James of Zebedee and John, his brother, who also are in the ship, adjusting the nets.
²⁰ And straightway He calls them. And, leaving their father Zebedee in the ship with the hirelings, they came away after Him.
²¹ And they are entering Capernaum. And immediately, on the sabbaths, entering the synagogue, He taught.
²² And they were astonished at His teaching, for He was teaching them as One having authority, and not as the scribes.
²³ And straightway there was a man in their synagogue with an unclean spirit, and he cries out, saying,
²⁴ "Ha! what is it to us and to you, Jesus the Nazarean! Did you come to destroy us? We are aware of you, who you are -- the holy One of God!"
²⁵ And Jesus rebukes him, saying, "Be still, and be coming out of him!"
²⁶ And, convulsing him, the unclean spirit, shouting with a loud voice, came out of him.
²⁷ And all were awed, so as to be discussing with themselves, saying, "What is this? Some new teaching is this, for with authority the unclean spirits also is He enjoining, and they are obeying Him!"
²⁸ And straightway, the tidings of Him came out everywhere into the whole country about Galilee.
²⁹ And straightway, coming out of the synagogue, they came into the home of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
³⁰ Now the mother-in-law of Simon was laid down with a fever. And straightway they are telling Him about her.
³¹ And approaching, He rouses her, holding her hand. And the fever leaves her immediately, and she waited on them.
³² Now evening coming on, when the sun sets, they brought to Him all those who have an illness and those who are demoniacs.
³³ And the whole city was assembled at the door.
³⁴ And He cures many who have an illness, those with various diseases; and many demons He cast out. And He did not let the demons speak, for they were aware that He is the Christ.
³⁵ And in the morning, rising very early, still in the night, He came out and came away into a desolate place, and there He prayed.
³⁶ And Simon and those with him trail Him.
³⁷ And they found Him, and are saying to Him that "All are seeking Thee."
³⁸ And He is saying to them, "We may be going elsewhere, into the next towns, that there also I should be heralding; for for this I came out."
³⁹ And He came into their synagogues in the whole of Galilee, heralding and casting out demons.
⁴⁰ And coming to Him is a leper, entreating Him, and falling on his knees and saying to Him, "Lord, if Thou shouldst be willing, Thou canst cleanse me!"
⁴¹ Now Jesus, having compassion, stretching out His hand, touches him, and is saying to him, "I am willing. Be cleansed!"
⁴² And at His saying this, straightway the leprosy came from him, and he is cleansed.
⁴³ And muttering to him, straightway He cast him out,
⁴⁴ and is saying to him, "See! you may be saying nothing to anyone, but go, show yourself to the priest, and bring for your cleansing what Moses bids, for a testimony to them."
⁴⁵ Now he, coming out, begins heralding it much, and to blaze abroad the word, so that, by no means can He longer be manifestly entering into a city, but was outside in desolate places. And they came to him from everywhere.

Chapter 1 (KJV)

¹ The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God;
² As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
³ The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
⁴ John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.
⁵ And there went out unto him all the land of Judaea, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized of him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins.
⁶ And John was clothed with camel's hair, and with a girdle of a skin about his loins; and he did eat locusts and wild honey;
⁷ And preached, saying, There cometh one mightier than I after me, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose.
⁸ I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost.
⁹ And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan.
¹⁰ And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him:
¹¹ And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
¹² And immediately the spirit driveth him into the wilderness.
¹³ And he was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted of Satan; and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto him.
¹⁴ Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,
¹⁵ And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
¹⁶ Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.
¹⁷ And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.
¹⁸ And straightway they forsook their nets, and followed him.
¹⁹ And when he had gone a little farther thence, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the ship mending their nets.
²⁰ And straightway he called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants, and went after him.
²¹ And they went into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath day he entered into the synagogue, and taught.
²² And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes.
²³ And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,
²⁴ Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.
²⁵ And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him.
²⁶ And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him.
²⁷ And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What thing is this? what new doctrine is this? for with authority commandeth he even the unclean spirits, and they do obey him.
²⁸ And immediately his fame spread abroad throughout all the region round about Galilee.
²⁹ And forthwith, when they were come out of the synagogue, they entered into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
³⁰ But Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever, and anon they tell him of her.
³¹ And he came and took her by the hand, and lifted her up; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them.
³² And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all that were diseased, and them that were possessed with devils.
³³ And all the city was gathered together at the door.
³⁴ And he healed many that were sick of divers diseases, and cast out many devils; and suffered not the devils to speak, because they knew him.
³⁵ And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.
³⁶ And Simon and they that were with him followed after him.
³⁷ And when they had found him, they said unto him, All men seek for thee.
³⁸ And he said unto them, Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also: for therefore came I forth.
³⁹ And he preached in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and cast out devils.
⁴⁰ And there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
⁴¹ And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean.
⁴² And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed.
⁴³ And he straitly charged him, and forthwith sent him away;
⁴⁴ And saith unto him, See thou say nothing to any man: but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing those things which Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.
⁴⁵ But he went out, and began to publish it much, and to blaze abroad the matter, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly enter into the city, but was without in desert places: and they came to him from every quarter.
