Mark 1:26-45 ▼

26 and the unclean spirit having convulsed him, and having cried with a great voice, came forth out of him,

27 and they were all amazed, so as to reason among themselves, saying, “What is this? What new teaching [is] this? That with authority He also commands the unclean spirits, and they obey Him!”

28 And the fame of Him went forth immediately to all the region of Galilee.

29 And immediately, having come forth out of the synagogue, they went into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John,

30 and the mother-in-law of Simon was lying fevered, and immediately they tell Him about her,

31 and having come near, He raised her up, having laid hold of her hand, and the fever left her immediately, and she was ministering to them.

32 And evening having come, when the sun set, they brought to Him all who were ill and who were demoniacs,

33 and the whole city was gathered together near the door,

34 and He healed many who were ill of manifold diseases, and He cast forth many demons, and was not permitting the demons to speak, because they knew Him.

35 And very early, it being yet night, having risen, He went forth, and went away to a desolate place, and was praying there;

36 and Simon and those with him went in quest of Him,

37 and having found Him, they say to Him, “All seek You”;

38 and He says to them, “We may go into the next towns, that there also I may preach, for—for this I came forth.”

39 And He was preaching in their synagogues, in all Galilee, and is casting out the demons,

40 and there comes to Him a leper, calling on Him, and kneeling to Him, and saying to Him, “If You may will, You are able to cleanse me.”

41 And Jesus having been moved with compassion, having stretched forth the hand, touched him and says to him, “I will, be cleansed”;

42 and He having spoken, immediately the leprosy went away from him, and he was cleansed.

43 And having sternly charged him, immediately He put him forth,

44 and says to him, “See [that] you may say nothing to anyone, but go away, show yourself to the priest, and bring near for your cleansing the things Moses directed, for a testimony to them.”

45 And he, having gone forth, began to proclaim much, and to spread the thing abroad, so that He was no longer able to openly enter into the city, but He was outside in desolate places, and they were coming to Him from every quarter.
