1The beginning of the Gospel of Iesus Christ, the Sonne of God: 2As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. 3The voyce of him that cryeth in the wildernesse is, Prepare the way of the Lord: make his paths straight. 4John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins. 5And al ye countrey of Iudea, & they of Hierusalem went out vnto him, and were all baptized of him in the riuer Iordan, confessing their sinnes. 6Nowe Iohn was clothed with camels heare, and with a girdle of a skinne about his loynes: and he did eate Locusts and wilde hony, 7And preached, saying, There cometh one mightier than I after me, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose. 8I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost. 9And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan. 10And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him: 11And there came a voice from heaven, [saying], Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. 12And immediately the Spirit driveth him into the wilderness. 13And he was there in the wildernesse fourtie daies, and was tempted of Satan: hee was also with the wilde beastes, and the Angels ministred vnto him. 14Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, 15And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdome of God is at hand: repent and beleeue the Gospel. 16Now 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. 17Then Iesus said vnto them, Folow me, and I will make you to be fishers of men. 18And straightway they forsooke their nets, and folowed him. 19And 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. 20And anon hee called them: and they left their father Zebedeus in the shippe with his hired seruants, and went their way after him. 21And they went into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath day he entered into the synagogue, and taught. 22And they were astonied at his doctrine, for he taught them as one that had authoritie, and not as the Scribes. 23And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out, 24Saying, 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. 25And Iesus rebuked him, saying, Holde thy peace, and come out of him. 26And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him. 27And 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. 28And immediately his fame spread abroad throughout all the region round about Galilee. 29And forthwith, when they were come out of the synagogue, they entered into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. 30And Symons wiues mother lay sicke of a feuer, and anon they told him of her. 31And he came and tooke her by the hand, and lifted her vp, and the feuer forsooke her by and by, and shee ministred vnto them. 32And whe euen was come, at what time the sunne setteth, they brought to him all that were diseased, & them that were possessed with deuils. 33And the whole citie was gathered together at the doore. 34And 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. 35And in the morning very early before day, Iesus arose & went out into a solitarie place, and there praied. 36And Simon, and they that were with him, followed carefully after him. 37And when they had found him, they sayde vnto him, All men seeke for thee. 38And he said unto them, Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also: for therefore came I forth. 39And hee preached in their Synagogues, throughout all Galile, and cast the deuils out. 40And 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. 41And Iesus had compassion, and put foorth his hand, and touched him, and said to him, I wil: be thou cleane. 42And assone as he had spoken, immediatly ye leprosie departed fro him, & he was made cleane. 43And after he had giue him a streight commandement, he sent him away forthwith, 44And 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. 45But when he was departed, hee began to tel many things, and to publish the matter: so that Iesus could no more openly enter into the citie, but was without in desert places: and they came to him from euery quarter.
