Mark Chapter 1   
  
   King James Version

  
     1 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God; [mhcc] [jfb] [jwc] [pnt] [tsk]   2 As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. [gsn] [jfb] [jwc] [pnt] [tsk]   3 The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. [jfb] [jwc] [tsk]   4 John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins. [gsn] [jwc] [pnt] [tsk]   5 And there went out unto him all the land of Judaea, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized of him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins. [pnt] [tsk]   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; [pnt] [tsk]   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. [gsn] [jwc] [pnt] [tsk]   8 I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost. [gsn] [pnt] [tsk]   9 And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan. [gsn] [mhcc] [jwc] [pnt] [tsk]   10 And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him: [gsn] [pnt] [tsk]   11 And there came a voice from heaven, [saying], Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. [gsn] [tsk]   12 And immediately the Spirit driveth him into the wilderness. [gsn] [jwc] [tsk]   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. [jwc] [pnt] [tsk]   14 Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, [gsn] [mhcc] [jwc] [pnt] [tsk]   15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. [jwc] [tsk]   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. [gsn] [jwc] [pnt] [tsk]   17 And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men. [tsk]   18 And straightway they forsook their nets, and followed him. [jwc] [tsk]   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. [gsn] [tsk]   20 And straightway he called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants, and went after him. [tsk]   21 And they went into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath day he entered into the synagogue, and taught. [gsn] [jfb] [jwc] [pnt] [tsk]   22 And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes. [jfb] [pnt] [tsk]   23 And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out, [gsn] [mhcc] [jfb] [pnt] [tsk]   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. [gsn] [jfb] [pnt] [tsk]   25 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. [jfb] [tsk]   26 And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him. [gsn] [jfb] [jwc] [pnt] [tsk]   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. [gsn] [jfb] [pnt] [tsk]   28 And immediately his fame spread abroad throughout all the region round about Galilee. [gsn] [jfb] [pnt] [tsk]   29 And forthwith, when they were come out of the synagogue, they entered into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. [gsn] [mhcc] [jfb] [jwc] [pnt] [tsk]   30 But Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever, and anon they tell him of her. [jfb] [tsk]   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. [jfb] [tsk]   32 And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all that were diseased, and them that were possessed with devils. [jfb] [jwc] [tsk]   33 And all the city was gathered together at the door. [jfb] [jwc] [tsk]   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. [gsn] [jfb] [jwc] [tsk]   35 And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed. [jfb] [jwc] [pnt] [tsk]   36 And Simon and they that were with him followed after him. [jfb] [pnt] [tsk]   37 And when they had found him, they said unto him, All [men] seek for thee. [jfb] [tsk]   38 And he said unto them, Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also: for therefore came I forth. [gsn] [jfb] [pnt] [tsk]   39 And he preached in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and cast out devils. [pnt] [tsk]   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. [gsn] [mhcc] [jwc] [pnt] [tsk]   41 And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth [his] hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean. [tsk]   42 And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed. [tsk]   43 And he straitly charged him, and forthwith sent him away; [tsk]   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. [gsn] [jwc] [pnt] [tsk]   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. [jwc] [pnt] [tsk]
