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 Judæa, 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 further 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.
1 Jēzus Kristus, Dieva Dēla, evaņģēlija sākums. 2 Itin kā pravietis Jesaja ir rakstījis: raugi, Es sūtu Savu vēstnesi Tavā priekšā, kas sataisīs Tavu ceļu, 3 saucēja balss tuksnesī: sataisait Tam Kungam ceļu, darait līdzenas Viņa tekas.- 4 Jānis Kristītājs nāca tuksnesī, sludinādams grēku nožēlas kristību uz grēku piedošanu. 5 Un pie viņa izgāja visa Jūdejas zeme un visi Jeruzālemes ļaudis; un tie tika viņa kristīti Jordānas upē, izsūdzēdami savus grēkus. 6 Un Jānis bija ģērbies kamieļu spalvas drēbēs un ādas jostu ap gurniem un ēda siseņus un kameņu medu, 7 un sludināja, sacīdams: "Kāds spēcīgāks nekā es nāk pēc manis, kam es neesmu cienīgs noliecies atraisīt Viņa kurpju siksnas. 8 Es jūs esmu kristījis ar ūdeni, bet Viņš jūs kristīs ar Svēto Garu." 9 Un notika, ka tanīs dienās Jēzus nāca no Nacaretes Galilejā un tika Jāņa kristīts Jordānā. 10 Un tūdaļ, no ūdens izkāpdams, viņš redzēja debesis atveramies un Garu kā balodi uz Viņu nolaižamies. 11 Un balss atskanēja no debesīm: "Tu esi Mans mīļais Dēls, uz Tevi Man ir labs prāts." 12 Un Gars Viņu tūdaļ aizveda tuksnesī. 13 Un Viņš bija tuksnesī četrdesmit dienas, un sātans Viņu kārdināja, un Viņš bija pie zvēriem, un eņģeļi Viņam kalpoja. 14 Pēc tam kad Jānis bija nodots, Jēzus nāca uz Galileju un sludināja Dieva evaņģēliju, sacīdams: 15 "Laiks ir piepildīts, un Dieva valstība ir tuvu atnākusi! Atgriezieties no grēkiem un ticiet uz evaņģēliju." 16 Un, pie Galilejas jūras staigādams, Viņš redzēja Sīmani un Sīmaņa brāli Andreju tīklus jūrā metam; jo tie bija zvejnieki. 17 Un Jēzus tiem sacīja: "Nāciet Man pakaļ, Es jūs darīšu par cilvēku zvejniekiem." 18 Un tūdaļ tie, savus tīklus atstājuši, Viņam sekoja. 19 Un, nedaudz tālāk pagājis, Viņš redzēja Jēkabu, Cebedeja dēlu, un Jāni, viņa brāli, laivā tīklus lāpām. 20 Un tūdaļ Viņš tos aicināja. Un tie, savu tēvu Cebedeju ar algādžiem laivā atstājuši, nogāja Viņam pakaļ. 21 Un viņi nonāca Kapernaumā. Un tūdaļ sabatā Viņš iegāja sinagogā un mācīja. 22 Un tie izbrīnījās par Viņa mācību, jo Viņš tos mācīja kā tāds, kam vara, un ne kā rakstu mācītāji. 23 Un viņu sinagogā bija cilvēks ar nešķīstu garu, un tas brēca, 24 sacīdams: "Kas mums ar Tevi, Jēzu no Nacaretes? Vai Tu esi nācis mūs nomaitāt? Es Tevi pazīstu, kas Tu esi, Dieva Svētais." 25 Un Jēzus viņu apsauca, sacīdams: "Paliec klusu un izej no tā." 26 Un, to raustīdams un ar stipru balsi brēkdams, nešķīstais gars no tā izgāja. 27 Un tie visi iztrūcinājās, tā ka tie savā starpā sprieda, sacīdami: "Kas tas ir? Jauna mācība ar spēku! Pat nešķīstiem gariem Viņš pavēl, un tie Viņam paklausa." 28 Un tūdaļ Viņa slava izpaudās visapkārt pa visu Galilejas apkaimi. 29 Un tie tūdaļ, no sinagogas izgājuši, nāca Sīmaņa un Andreja namā ar Jēkabu un Jāni. 30 Bet Sīmaņa sievasmāte gulēja drudzī, un tie Viņam tūdaļ par to sacīja. 31 Un piegājis Viņš to uzcēla un to ņēma pie rokas, un drudzis tūlīt no tās atstājās, un viņa tiem kalpoja. 32 Un, kad vakars metās un saule bija nogājusi, tad tie pie Viņa nesa visādus neveselus un ļaunu garu apsēstus. 33 Un visa pilsēta bija sapulcējusies durvju priekšā. 34 Un Viņš dziedināja daudzus, kas sirga ar dažādām kaitēm, un izdzina daudz ļaunu garu, un Viņš ļauniem gariem neļāva runāt, jo tie Viņu pazina. 35 Un, no rīta gaiļos cēlies, Viņš izgāja un nogāja kādā vientuļā vietā un tur Dievu pielūdza. 36 Un Sīmanis līdz ar tiem, kas pie viņa bija, Viņam steidzās pakaļ, 37 un, Viņu atraduši, tie Viņam saka: "Visi Tevi meklē." 38 Un Viņš tiem saka: "Noejam citur tuvējos miestos, ka Es tur arī sludinu; jo tāpēc Es esmu nācis." 39 Un Viņš gāja sludinādams viņu sinagogās pa visu Galileju un izdzina ļaunus garus. 40 Un kāds spitālīgs nāk pie Viņa, Viņu lūgdams, un, Viņa priekšā ceļos mezdamies, Viņam saka: "Ja Tu gribi, Tu mani vari šķīstīt." 41 Un Viņš, sirdī kustināts, roku izstiepa, to aizskāra un uz to saka: "Es gribu, topi šķīsts." 42 Un tūlīt spitālība nogāja no tā, un viņš tapa šķīsts. 43 Un Viņš to apdraudēja un to tūlīt aizdzina, 44 un uz to sacīja: "Raugi, nesaki nevienam neko, bet ej, rādies priesterim un atnes par savu šķīstījumu upuri, ko Mozus ir pavēlējis, viņiem par liecību." 45 Bet tas izgājis iesāka daudz runāt un šo lietu izpaust, tā ka Jēzus, ļaudīm redzot, vairs nevarēja ieiet pilsētā. Bet Viņš bija laukā vientuļās vietās, un no visām malām tie nāca pie Viņa.
