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

¹Jesu Kristi, Guds Søns, Evangeliums Begyndelse er således,

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

²som der er skrevet hos Profeten Esajas: "Se, jeg sender min Engel for dit Ansigt, han skal berede din Vej.

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

³Der er en Røst af en, som råber i Ørkenen: Bereder Herrens Vej, gører hans Stier jævne!"

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

⁴Johannes kom, han, som døbte i Ørkenen og prædikede Omvendelses-Dåb til Syndernes Forladelse.

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.

⁵Og hele Judæas Land og alle i Jerusalem gik ud og bleve døbt, af ham i Floden Jordan, idet de bekendte deres Synder

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

⁶Og Johannes var klædt i Kamelhår og havde et Læderbælte om sin Lænd og spiste Græshopper og vild Honning.

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.

⁷Og han prædikede og sagde: "Efter mig kommer den, som er stærkere end jeg, hvis Skotvinge jeg ikke er værdig at bøje mig ned og løse.

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.”

⁸Jeg har døbt eder med Vand, men han skal døbe eder med den Helligånd."

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

⁹Og det skete i de dage, at Jesus kom fra Nazareth i Galilæa og blev døbt af Johannes i Jordan.

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

¹⁰Og straks da han steg op af Vandet, så han Himlene skilles ad og Ånden ligesom en Due dale ned over ham;

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

¹¹og der kom en Røst fra Himlene: "Du er min Søn, den elskede, i dig har jeg Velbehag."

¹²Immediately the Spirit drove him out into the wilderness.

¹²Og straks driver Ånden ham ud i Ørkenen.

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

¹³Og han var i Ørkenen fyrretyve Dage, medens han fristedes af Satan, og han var blandt Dyrene; og Englene tjente ham.

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

¹⁴Men efter at Johannes var kastet i Fængsel, kom Jesus til Galilæa og prædikede Guds Evangelium

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

¹⁵og sagde: "Tiden er fuldkommet, og Guds Rige er kommet nær; omvender eder og tror på Evangeliet!"

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.

¹⁶Og medens han gik langs Galilæas Sø, så han Simon og Simons Broder Andreas i Færd med at kaste Garn i Søen; thi de vare Fiskere.

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

¹⁷Og Jesus sagde til dem: "Følger efter mig, så vil jeg gøre eder til Menneskefiskere."

¹⁸Immediately they left their nets, and followed him.

¹⁸Og de forlode straks Garnene og fulgte ham.

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.

¹⁹Og da han gik lidt videre frem, så han, Jakob, Zebedæus's Søn, og hans Broder Johannes, som også vare i Færd med at bøde deres Garn i Skibet;

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

²⁰og han kaldte straks på dem, og de forlode deres Fader Zebedæus i Skibet med Lejesvendene og gik efter ham.

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

²¹Og de gå ind i Kapernaum. Og straks på Sabbaten gik han ind i Synagogen og lærte,

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

²²og de bleve slagne af Forundring over hans Lære; thi han lærte dem som en, der havde Myndighed, og ikke som de skriftkloge.

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

²³Og der var i deres Synagoge et Menneske med en uren Ånd, og han råbte højt

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!”

²⁴og sagde: "Hvad have vi med dig at gøre, Jesus af Nazareth? Er du kommen for at ødelægge os; jeg kender dig, hvem du er, du Guds hellige."

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

²⁵Og Jesus truede ham og sagde: "Ti, og far ud af ham!"

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

²⁶Og den urene Ånd sled i ham og råbte med høj Røst og for ud af ham.

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!”

²⁷Og de bleve alle forfærdede, så at de spurgte hverandre og sagde: "Hvad er dette? en ny Lære med Myndighed; også over de urene Ånder byder han, og de lyde ham."

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

²⁸Og Rygtet om ham kom straks ud alle Vegne i hele det omliggende Land i Galilæa.

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

²⁹Og straks, da de vare gåede ud af Synagogen, kom de ind i Simons og Andreas's Hus med Jakob og Johannes.

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

³⁰Men Simons Svigermoder lå og havde Feber, og straks tale de til ham om hende;

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

³¹og han gik hen til hende, tog hende ved Hånden og rejste hende op, og Feberen forlod hende, og hun vartede dem op.

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

³²Men da det var blevet Aften, og Solen var gået ned, førte de til ham alle de syge og besatte,

³³All the city was gathered together at the door.

³³og hele Byen var forsamlet foran Døren.

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.

³⁴Og han helbredte mange, som lede af mange Hånde Sygdomme, og han uddrev mange onde Ånder; og han tillod ikke de onde Ånder at tale, fordi de kendte ham.

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

³⁵Og om Morgenen længe før Dag stod han op og gik ud og gik hen til et øde Sted, og der bad han:

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

³⁶Og Simon og de, som vare med ham, skyndte sig efter ham.

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

³⁷Og de fandt ham, og de sige til ham: "Alle lede efter dig."

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.”

³⁸Og han siger til dem: "Lader os gå andetsteds hen til de nærmeste Småbyer, for at jeg kan prædike også der; thi dertil er jeg udgået."

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

³⁹Og han kom og prædikede i deres Synagoger i hele Galilæa og uddrev de onde Ånder.

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

⁴⁰Og en spedalsk kommer til ham, beder ham og falder på Knæ for ham og siger til ham: "Om du vil, så kan du rense mig."

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

⁴¹Og han ynkedes inderligt og udrakte Hånden og rørte ved ham og siger til ham: "Jeg vil; bliv ren!"

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

⁴²Og straks forlod Spedalskheden ham, og han blev renset.

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

⁴³Og han drev ham straks bort, idet han bød ham strengt

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.”

⁴⁴og sagde til ham: "Se til, at du ikke siger noget til nogen herom; men gå hen, fremstil dig selv for Præsten, og offer for din Renselse det, som Moses har befalet, til Vidnesbyrd for dem!"

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.

⁴⁵Men da han kom ud, begyndte han at fortælle meget og udsprede Rygtet derom, så at han ikke mere kunde gå åbenlyst ind i en By; men han var udenfor på øde Steder, og de kom til ham alle Vegne fra.
