施洗者约翰预备道路
1有关上帝的儿子耶稣基督的福音是这样开始的。
2以赛亚先知书上说：
“看啊，
我要差遣我的使者在你前面为你预备道路。
3他在旷野大声呼喊，
‘预备主的道，
修直祂的路。’”
4果然，约翰出现了，他在旷野劝人悔改，接受洗礼，使罪得到赦免。 5犹太全境和耶路撒冷的居民都到约翰面前承认他们的罪，在约旦河里接受他的洗礼。
6约翰身穿骆驼毛的衣服，腰束皮带，吃的是蝗虫和野蜜。 7他传道说：“在我之后，有一位能力比我更大的要来，我连弯腰替祂解鞋带也不配。 8我是用水给你们施洗，但祂要用圣灵给你们施洗。”
耶稣受洗
9那时，耶稣从加利利的拿撒勒来约旦河接受约翰的洗礼。 10耶稣从水中一上来，就看见天开了，圣灵好像鸽子一样降在祂身上， 11从天上有声音说：“你是我的爱子，我甚喜悦你。”
耶稣受试探
12圣灵随即催促祂到旷野。 13祂在旷野受撒旦的试探四十天。祂与野兽在一起，有天使服侍祂。
呼召四渔夫
14约翰被捕后，耶稣来到加利利宣讲上帝的福音，说： 15“时候到了，上帝的国临近了，你们要悔改，相信福音。”
16耶稣沿着加利利湖边走，看见两个渔夫——西门和他的弟弟安得烈正在湖上撒网捕鱼。 17耶稣对他们说：“来跟从我！我要使你们成为得人的渔夫。” 18他们立刻抛下渔网，跟从了耶稣。
19耶稣往前走了不远，又看见西庇太的两个儿子雅各和约翰正在船上补网， 20便立刻呼召他们。他们就辞别父亲和船上的工人，跟从了耶稣。
传道赶鬼
21他们到了迦百农，耶稣在安息日去会堂里讲道。 22那里的人都很吃惊，因为祂教导他们时像个有权柄的人，不像律法教师。 23当时会堂里有一个被污鬼附身的人喊道： 24“拿撒勒的耶稣啊，我们和你有什么关系？你是来毁灭我们吗？我知道你是谁，你是上帝的圣者！”
25耶稣责备它说：“住口，从他身上出来！”
26污鬼使那人抽搐了一阵，大叫一声，就出来了。 27在场的人十分惊讶，彼此议论说：“这是怎么回事？真是充满权柄的新教导啊！竟然连污鬼都服从祂的命令。” 28于是，耶稣的名声立刻传遍了整个加利利。
医病赶鬼
29耶稣同雅各和约翰离开会堂，来到西门和安得烈家。 30当时西门的岳母正发烧，躺在床上，他们立刻把这事告诉耶稣。 31耶稣走到她的床边，拉着她的手扶她起来，她的烧立刻退了，便起来服侍他们。
32日落之后，有人把病人和被鬼附身的人都带来见耶稣。 33全城的人都聚在门前。 34耶稣医好了许多患各种疾病的人，又赶出很多鬼。祂不准鬼说话，因为鬼认识祂。
在加利利传道
35第二天清早，天还没亮，耶稣就起来独自走到旷野去祷告。 36西门和同伴们四处寻找耶稣， 37找到了，便对祂说：“大家都在找你呢！”
38耶稣却回答说：“我们到附近的乡镇去吧，我也好在那里传道，因为我就是为这事来的。”
39于是，耶稣走遍加利利，在各会堂传道，赶鬼。
治好麻风病人
40有一次，一个患麻风病的人来到耶稣面前，跪下央求：“只要你肯，一定能使我洁净。”
41耶稣动了慈心，就伸手摸他，说：“我肯，你洁净了吧！” 42那人的麻风病立即消失了，他就洁净了。 43耶稣让他回去并郑重地叮嘱： 44“不要把这事告诉别人，要去让祭司察看你的身体，并照摩西的规定献祭，向众人证明你已经洁净了。”
45但那人离开之后，却到处传扬这件事，以致耶稣无法再公开进城。祂只能待在城外的旷野，可是人们仍从各处来找祂。
1The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son 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 voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye 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 there went out unto him all the land of Judæa, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized of him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins. 6And 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; 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 wilderness forty days, tempted of Satan; and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto 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 kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe 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. 17And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men. 18And straightway they forsook their nets, and followed 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 straightway he called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants, and went after him. 21And they went into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath day he entered into the synagogue, and taught. 22And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as one that had authority, 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 Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold 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. 30But Simon’s wife’s mother lay sick of a fever, and anon they tell him of her. 31And he came and took her by the hand, and lifted her up; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them. 32And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all that were diseased, and them that were possessed with devils. 33And all the city was gathered together at the door. 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, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed. 36And Simon and they that were with him followed after him. 37And when they had found him, they said unto him, All men seek 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 he preached in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and cast out devils. 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 Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean. 42And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed. 43And he straitly charged him, and forthwith sent him away; 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 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.
