Mark 1

1 The beginning of the Good News of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. 2 As it is written in the prophets,

“Behold, I send my messenger before your face, 
who will prepare your way before you. 
3 The voice of one crying in the wilderness, 
‘Make ready the way of the Lord! 
Make his paths straight!’”

4 John came baptizing in the wilderness and preaching the baptism of repentance for forgiveness of sins. 5 All 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. 6 John was clothed with camel’s hair and a leather belt around his waist. He ate locusts and wild honey. 7 He preached, saying,

אתי מן דחייל מיני בתרי

^ethey man d^ehaiel meni bathari

דלית אנה שווי מיברך ¹ ומישרי ערקתא דסנדלוי ²

d^eleth ^enah shauwey mivrak ¹ w^emishrey ^ceraqtha d^esandloi ²

אנה צבעית לכון במיין

nah çba^ceth lkon b^emaiyin

ברם יצבע לכון ברוח קודשה

bram y^eçva^c l^ekon b^eruah qudshah

9 In those days, Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John in the Jordan. 10 Immediately coming up from the water, he saw the heavens parting, and the Spirit descending on him like a dove. 11 A voice came out of the sky,

את הוא ברי חביבה

at hu b^eri habibah

בך אצטבעית

bak ^eçt^eb^ceth

12 Immediately the Spirit drove him out into the wilderness. 13 He was there in the wilderness forty days tempted by Satan. He was with the wild animals; and the angels were serving him.

14 Now after John was taken into custody, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the Good News of the Kingdom of God, 15 and saying,

שלם ליה זימנה

shlam leh zimnah

ומטיית מלכותה דאלהה

w^ematyath malkuthah d^eelahah

תובו והיימנון בבשׂורתה

tuvu w^ehaim^enun b^evśorthah

16 Passing 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. 17 Jesus said to them,

אתון בתרי

^ethun bathari

ואעביד לכון ציידייה דבני נשה

w^ecved l^ekon çaidaiyah d^evney nashah

18 Immediately they left their nets, and followed him. 19 Going 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. 20 Immediately he called them, and they left their father, Zebedee, in the boat with the hired servants, and went after him. 21 They went into Capernaum, and immediately on the Sabbath day he entered into the synagogue and taught. 22 They were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as having authority, and not as the scribes. 23 Immediately there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit, and he cried out, 24saying,

מה לן ולך ישוע נזרייה¹

mah lan w^elak y^eshua^c nazraiyah¹

אתיית מובדה לן

^ethyat movdah lan

אנה ידע לך מן את קדישה דאלהה

^enah yada^c lak man at qadishah d^elahah

25 Jesus rebuked him, saying,

זום פימך ^1 2 ופוק מיניה

zom pimak ^1 2 w^efuq meneh

26 The unclean spirit, convulsing him and crying with a loud voice, came out of him. 27 They were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying,

מה הוא דן מן הוא אולפן חדת

mah hu d^en man hu ulpan h^edath

בגין בחייל הוא פקיד אוף רוחייה מסאבתה

bagin b^ehail hu paqed op ruhaiyah m^esavathah

ושמעין ליה

w^esham^cin leh

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

29 Immediately, when they had come out of the synagogue, they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. 30 Now Simon’s wife’s mother lay sick with a fever, and immediately they told him about her. 31 He came and took her by the hand, and raised her up. The fever left her, and she served them. 32 At evening, when the sun had set, they brought to him all who were sick, and those who were possessed by demons. 33 All the city was gathered together at the door. 34 He 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.

35 Early in the morning, while it was still dark, he rose up and went out, and departed into a deserted place, and prayed there.36 Simon and those who were with him followed after him; 37 and they found him, and told him,

כל נש בעיין לך

kal nash ba^cain lak

38 He said to them,

ניזיל למדינתה קריבתה

nezel l^emdinatah qarivathah

דאוף תמן אכריז

d^eof taman akrez

בגין להדה נפקית

bagin l^ehadah nafqeth

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

40 A leper came to him, begging him, kneeling down to him, and saying to him,

אן את בעי ¹ את יכיל ² למדכייה לי

^en at ba^cey ¹ at y^ekel ² l^em^edakyah li

41 Being moved with compassion, he stretched out his hand, and touched him, and said to him,

אנה בעי אדכי

^enah ba^cey ^edakey

42 When he had said this, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was made clean. 43 He strictly warned him, and immediately sent him out, 44 and said to him,

הא ¹ תימר לא נש כלום

ha ¹ temar la nash klom

ברם אזיל חמי גרמך לכהנה

bram ^ezel hami garmak l^ekahanah

וקריב קורבנה חולף דכיותך מה דפקד משה

w^eqriv qorbanah holaf dakyuthak mah d^ef^eqad moshah

לשׂהדו ¹ להון

l^eśahadu ¹ l^ehon

45 But 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.
