1The beginning of the Gospell of Jesu Christ the son of God,
2as it is written in the prophets, behold I send my messenger before thy face which shall prepare thy way before thee.
3The voice of one that crieth(a crier) in the wilderness: prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
4John did baptise in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance,(amendment) for the remission of sins.
5And all the land of Jewry, and they of Jerusalem went out unto him, and were all baptised of him in the river Jordan, knowledging,(confessing) their sins.
6John was clothed with camel's hair, and with a girdle of a beast's skin about his loins. And he ate(did eat) locusts and wild honey,
7and preached saying: a stronger than I cometh after me, whose shoe latchet I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose.
8I have baptised you with water: but he shall baptise you with the holy ghost.
9And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth, a city of Galilee: and was baptised of John in Jordan.
10And immediately he came(as soon as he was come) out of the water, and(John) saw the heavens open, and the holy ghost descending upon him like a dove.
11And there came a voice from heaven: Thou art my dear son, in whom I delight.
12And immediately the spirit drove(drave) him into a wilderness:
13and he was there in the wilderness forty days, and was tempted of Satan, and was with wild beasts. And the angels ministered unto him.
14After that John was taken, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel(gospell) of the kingdom of God,
15and saying: the time is ful come,(fulfilled) and the kingdom of God is even at hand, repent(Amend) and believe the gospel.(gospell)
16As he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting nets into the sea, for they were fishers.
17And Jesus said unto them: follow me, and I will make you to be fishers of men.
18And they straightway forsook their nets, and followed him.
19And when he had gone a little further thence, he saw James the son of Zebede, and John his brother, even as they were in the ship dressing(mending) their nets.
20And anon he called them. And they left their father Zebede in the ship with his hired servants, and went their way after him.
21And they entered into Capernaum, and straight way on the Sabbath days he entered into the synagogue and taught.
22And they marveled(were astonied) at his learning. For he taught them as one which(that) had power with him, and not as the scribes did.
23And there was in the(their) synagogue, a man vexed with an unclean spirit, and he(that) cried
24saying: let me alone:(be) what have we to do with thee (thou) Jesus of Nazareth? Art thou come to destroy us? I know (thee) what thou art, thou art (even) that holy man promised of God.
25And Jesus rebuked him, saying: hold thy peace and come out of the man.(him.)
26And the unclean spirit tare him, (and) cried out with a loud voice, and came out of him.
27And they were all amazed, insomuch that they demanded one of another among themselves, saying: what thing is this? what new doctrine is this? for he commandeth the foul spirits with power, and they obey him.
28Anon(And immediately) his name(fame) spread abroad throughout all the region bordering on Galilee.
29And immediately(forthwith) as soon as they were come out of the Synagogue, they entered into the house of Simon and Andrew with James and John.
30(And) Simon's mother-in-law lay sick of a fever, and anon they told him of her.
31And he came and took her by the hand and lifted her up, and the fever forsook her by and by: And she ministered unto them.
32And at even when the sun(son) was down, they brought unto him all that were diseased, and them that were possessed with devils,
33and all the city gathered together at the door,
34and he healed many that were sick of divers diseases. And he cast out many devils and suffered not the devils(them not) to speak, because they knew him.
35And in the morning very early, Jesus arose and went out into a solitary place, and there prayed.
36And Simon and they that were with him followed after him.
37And when they had found him, they said unto him: all men seek for thee.
38And he said unto them: let us go in to the next towns, that I may preach there also: for truly I came out for that purpose.
39And he preached in their synagogues, throughout all Galilee, and cast (the) devils out.
40And there came a leper to him beseeching him, and kneeled down unto him, and said unto him: if thou wilt, thou arte able to(canst) make me clean.
41(And) Jesus had compassion on him, and put forth his hand, touched him, and said unto him: I will, be (thou) clean.
42And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed.
43And he charged him and sent him away forthwith
44and said unto him: See that thou tell no(say nothing to any) man, but get thee hence and shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing, those things which Moses commanded, for a testimonial unto them.
45But he (as soon as he was departed) began to tell many things and to publish the deed, 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.
