¹The beginning of the Good News of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

²Καθως ειναι γεγραμμενον εν τοις προφηταις· Ιδου, εγω αποστελλω τον αγγελον μου προ προσωπου σου, οστις θελει κατασκευασει την οδον σου εμπροσθεν σου·

²As it is written in the prophets, “Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you. Malachi 3:1

³Φωνη βοωντος εν τη ερημω, ετοιμασατε την οδον του Κυριου, ευθειας καμετε τας τριβους αυτου.

³The voice of one crying in the wilderness, ‘Make ready the way of the Lord! Make his paths straight!’” Isaiah 40:3

⁴Ητο ο Ιωαννης βαπτιζων εν τη ερημω και κηρυττων βαπτισμα μετανοιας εις αφεσιν αμαρτιων.

⁴John came baptizing or, immersing in the wilderness and preaching the baptism of repentance for forgiveness of sins.

⁵Και εξηρχοντο προς αυτον ολος ο τοπος της Ιουδαιας και οι Ιεροσολυμιται, και εβαπτιζοντο παντες εν τω Ιορδανη ποταμω υπ' αυτου, εξομολογουμενοι τας αμαρτιας αυτων.

⁵All the country of Judea and all those of Jerusalem went out to him. They were baptized by him in the Jordan river, confessing their sins.

⁶Ητο δε ο Ιωαννης ενδεδυμενος τριχας καμηλου και εχων ζωνην δερματινην περι την οσφυν αυτου, και τρωγων ακριδας και μελι αγριον.

⁶John was clothed with camel’s hair and a leather belt around his waist. He ate locusts and wild honey.

⁷Και εκηρυττε, λεγων· Ερχεται ο ισχυροτερος μου οπισω μου, του οποιου δεν ειμαι αξιος σκυψας να λυσω το λωριον των υποδηματων αυτου.

⁷He preached, saying, “After me comes he who is mightier than I, the thong of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and loosen.

⁸Εγω μεν σας εβαπτισα εν υδατι, αυτος δε θελει σας βαπτισει εν Πνευματι Αγιω.

⁸I baptized you in The Greek word (en) translated here as “in” could also be translated as “with” in some contexts. water, but he will baptize you in the Holy Spirit.”

⁹[] Και εν εκειναις ταις ημεραις ηλθεν ο Ιησους απο Ναζαρετ της Γαλιλαιας και εβαπτισθη υπο Ιωαννου εις τον Ιορδανην.

⁹It happened in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John in the Jordan.

¹⁰Και ευθυς ενω ανεβαινεν απο του υδατος, ειδε τους ουρανους σχιζομενους και το Πνευμα καταβαινον ως περιστεραν επ' αυτον·

¹⁰Immediately coming up from the water, he saw the heavens parting, and the Spirit descending on him like a dove.

¹¹και φωνη εγεινεν εκ των ουρανων· Συ εισαι ο Υιος μου ο αγαπητος, εις τον οποιον ευηρεστηθην.

¹¹A voice came out of the sky, “You are my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”

¹²Και ευθυς το Πνευμα εκβαλλει αυτον εις την ερημον·

¹²Immediately the Spirit drove him out into the wilderness.

¹³και ητο εκει εν τη ερημω ημερας τεσσαρακοντα πειραζομενος υπο του Σατανα, και ητο μετα των θηριων, και οι αγγελοι υπηρετουν αυτον.

¹³He was there in the wilderness forty days tempted by Satan. He was with the wild animals; and the angels were serving him.

¹⁴[] Αφου δε παρεδοθη ο Ιωαννης, ηλθεν ο Ιησους εις την Γαλιλαιαν κηρυττων το ευαγγελιον της βασιλειας του Θεου

¹⁴Now after John was taken into custody, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the Good News of the Kingdom of God,

¹⁵και λεγων οτι επληρωθη ο καιρος και επλησιασεν η βασιλεια του Θεου· μετανοειτε και πιστευετε εις το ευαγγελιον.

¹⁵and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the Kingdom of God is at hand! Repent, and believe in the Good News.”

¹⁶Περιπατων δε παρα την θαλασσαν της Γαλιλαιας, ειδε τον Σιμωνα και Ανδρεαν τον αδελφον αυτου, ριπτοντας δικτυον εις την θαλασσαν· διοτι ησαν αλιεις·

¹⁶Passing along by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew the brother of Simon casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen.

¹⁷και ειπε προς αυτους ο Ιησους· Ελθετε οπισω μου, και θελω σας καμει να γεινητε αλιεις ανθρωπων.

¹⁷Jesus said to them, “Come after me, and I will make you into fishers for men.”

¹⁸Και ευθυς αφησαντες τα δικτυα αυτων, ηκολουθησαν αυτον.

¹⁸Immediately they left their nets, and followed him.

¹⁹Και προχωρησας εκειθεν ολιγον, ειδεν Ιακωβον τον του Ζεβεδαιου και Ιωαννην τον αδελφον αυτου, και αυτους εν τω πλοιω επισκευαζοντας τα δικτυα,

¹⁹Going on a little further from there, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John, his brother, who were also in the boat mending the nets.

²⁰και ευθυς εκαλεσεν αυτους. Και αφησαντες τον πατερα αυτων Ζεβεδαιον εν τω πλοιω μετα των μισθωτων, υπηγον οπισω αυτου.

²⁰Immediately he called them, and they left their father, Zebedee, in the boat with the hired servants, and went after him.

²¹Και εισερχονται εις Καπερναουμ· και ευθυς εν τω σαββατω εισελθων ο Ιησους εις την συναγωγην εδιδασκε.

²¹They went into Capernaum, and immediately on the Sabbath day he entered into the synagogue and taught.

²²Και εξεπληττοντο δια την διδαχην αυτου· διοτι εδιδασκεν αυτους ως εχων εξουσιαν, και ουχι ως οι γραμματεις.

²²They were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as having authority, and not as the scribes.

²³[] Και ητο εν τη συναγωγη αυτων ανθρωπος εχων πνευμα ακαθαρτον, και ανεκραξε,

²³Immediately there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit, and he cried out,

²⁴λεγων· Φευ, τι ειναι μεταξυ ημων και σου, Ιησου Ναζαρηνε; ηλθες να μας απολεσης; σε γνωριζω τις εισαι, ο Αγιος του Θεου.

²⁴saying, “Ha! What do we have to do with you, Jesus, you Nazarene? Have you come to destroy us? I know you who you are: the Holy One of God!”

²⁵Και επετιμησεν αυτο ο Ιησους, λεγων· Σιωπα και εξελθε εξ αυτου.

²⁵Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be quiet, and come out of him!”

²⁶Και το πνευμα το ακαθαρτον, αφου εσπαραξεν αυτον και εκραξε μετα φωνης μεγαλης, εξηλθεν εξ αυτου.

²⁶The unclean spirit, convulsing him and crying with a loud voice, came out of him.

²⁷Και παντες εξεπλαγησαν, ωστε συνεζητουν προς αλληλους, λεγοντες· Τι ειναι τουτο; τις αυτη η νεα διδαχη, διοτι μετα εξουσιας προσταζει και τα ακαθαρτα πνευματα, και υπακουουσιν εις αυτον;

²⁷They were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, “What is this? A new teaching? For with authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him!”

²⁸Εξηλθε δε η φημη αυτου ευθυς εις ολην την περιχωρον της Γαλιλαιας.

²⁸The report of him went out immediately everywhere into all the region of Galilee and its surrounding area.

²⁹[] Και ευθυς εξελθοντες εκ της συναγωγης, ηλθον εις την οικιαν Σιμωνος και Ανδρεου μετα του Ιακωβου και Ιωαννου.

²⁹Immediately, when they had come out of the synagogue, they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.

³⁰Η δε πενθερα του Σιμωνος ητο κατακοιτος πασχουσα πυρετον. Και ευθυς ελαλησαν προς αυτον περι αυτης.

³⁰Now Simon’s wife’s mother lay sick with a fever, and immediately they told him about her.

³¹Και πλησιασας ηγειρεν αυτην πιασας την χειρα αυτης, και αφηκεν αυτην ο πυρετος ευθυς, και υπηρετει αυτους.

³¹He came and took her by the hand, and raised her up. The fever left her, and she served them.

³²Αφου δε εγεινεν εσπερα, οτε εδυσεν ο ηλιος, εφεραν προς αυτον παντας τους πασχοντας και τους δαιμονιζομενους·

³²At evening, when the sun had set, they brought to him all who were sick, and those who were possessed by demons.

³³και η πολις ολη ητο συνηγμενη εμπροσθεν της θυρας·

³³All the city was gathered together at the door.

³⁴και εθεραπευσε πολλους πασχοντας διαφορους αρρωστιας, και δαιμονια πολλα εξεβαλε, και δεν αφινε τα δαιμονια να λαλωσιν, επειδη εγνωριζον αυτον.

³⁴He healed many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons. He didn’t allow the demons to speak, because they knew him.

³⁵Και το πρωι ενω ητο ορθρος βαθυς, σηκωθεις εξηλθε· και υπηγεν εις ερημον τοπον και εκει προσηυχετο.

³⁵Early in the morning, while it was still dark, he rose up and went out, and departed into a deserted place, and prayed there.

³⁶Και εδραμον κατοπιν αυτου ο Σιμων και οι μετ' αυτου,

³⁶Simon and those who were with him followed after him;

³⁷και ευροντες αυτον λεγουσι προς αυτον οτι παντες σε ζητουσι.

³⁷and they found him, and told him, “Everyone is looking for you.”

³⁸Και λεγει προς αυτους· Ας υπαγωμεν εις τας πλησιον κωμοπολεις, δια να κηρυξω και εκει· επειδη δια τουτο εξηλθον.

³⁸He said to them, “Let’s go elsewhere into the next towns, that I may preach there also, because I came out for this reason.”

³⁹Και εκηρυττεν εν ταις συναγωγαις αυτων εις ολην την Γαλιλαιαν και εξεβαλλε τα δαιμονια.

³⁹He went into their synagogues throughout all Galilee, preaching and casting out demons.

⁴⁰[] Και ερχεται προς αυτον λεπρος παρακαλων αυτον και γονυπετων εμπροσθεν αυτου και λεγων προς αυτον οτι, εαν θελης, δυνασαι να με καθαρισης.

⁴⁰A leper came to him, begging him, kneeling down to him, and saying to him, “If you want to, you can make me clean.”

⁴¹Ο δε Ιησους σπλαγχνισθεις, εξετεινε την χειρα και ηγγισεν αυτον και λεγει προς αυτον· Θελω, καθαρισθητι.

⁴¹Being moved with compassion, he stretched out his hand, and touched him, and said to him, “I want to. Be made clean.”

⁴²Και ως ειπε τουτο, ευθυς εφυγεν απ' αυτου η λεπρα, και εκαθαρισθη.

⁴²When he had said this, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was made clean.

⁴³Και προσταξας αυτον εντονως, ευθυς απεπεμψεν αυτον

⁴³He strictly warned him, and immediately sent him out,

⁴⁴και λεγει προς αυτον· Προσεχε μη ειπης προς μηδενα μηδεν, αλλ' υπαγε, δειξον σεαυτον εις τον ιερεα και προσφερε περι του καθαρισμου σου οσα προσεταξεν ο Μωυσης δια μαρτυριαν εις αυτους.

⁴⁴and said to him, “See you say nothing to anybody, but go show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing the things which Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.”

⁴⁵Αλλ' εκεινος εξελθων ηρχισε να κηρυττη πολλα και να διαφημιζη τον λογον, ωστε πλεον δεν ηδυνατο αυτος να εισελθη φανερα εις πολιν, αλλ' ητο εξω εν ερημοις τοποις· και ηρχοντο προς αυτον πανταχοθεν.

⁴⁵But he went out, and began to proclaim it much, and to spread about the matter, so that Jesus could no more openly enter into a city, but was outside in desert places: and they came to him from everywhere.
