Mark 1:23-45
New King James Version
23 Now there was a man in their synagogue with an (A)unclean spirit. And he cried out, 24 saying, “Let us alone! (B)What have we to do with You, Jesus of Nazareth? Did You come to destroy us? I (C)know who You are—the (D)Holy One of God!”
25 But Jesus (E)rebuked him, saying, [a]“Be quiet, and come out of him!” 26 And when the unclean spirit (F)had convulsed him and cried out with a loud voice, he came out of him. 27 Then they were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, [b]“What is this? What new [c]doctrine is this? For with authority He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey Him.” 28 And immediately His (G)fame spread throughout all the region around Galilee.
Peter’s Mother-in-Law Healed(H)
29 (I)Now as soon as they had come out of the synagogue, they entered the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. 30 But Simon’s wife’s mother lay sick with a fever, and they told Him about her at once. 31 So He came and took her by the hand and lifted her up, and immediately the fever left her. And she served them.
Many Healed After Sabbath Sunset(J)
32 (K)At evening, when the sun had set, they brought to Him all who were sick and those who were demon-possessed. 33 And the whole city was gathered together at the door. 34 Then He healed many who were sick with various diseases, and (L)cast out many demons; and He (M)did not allow the demons to speak, because they knew Him.
Preaching in Galilee(N)
35 Now (O)in the morning, having risen a long while before daylight, He went out and departed to a [d]solitary place; and there He (P)prayed. 36 And Simon and those who were with Him searched for Him. 37 When they found Him, they said to Him, (Q)“Everyone (R)is looking for You.”
38 But He said to them, (S)“Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also, because (T)for this purpose I have come forth.”
39 (U)And He was preaching in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and (V)casting out demons.
Jesus Cleanses a Leper(W)
40 (X)Now a leper came to Him, imploring Him, kneeling down to Him and saying to Him, “If You are willing, You can make me clean.”
41 Then Jesus, moved with (Y)compassion, stretched out His hand and touched him, and said to him, “I am willing; be cleansed.” 42 As soon as He had spoken, (Z)immediately the leprosy left him, and he was cleansed. 43 And He strictly warned him and sent him away at once, 44 and said to him, “See that you say nothing to anyone; but go your way, show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing those things (AA)which Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”
45 (AB)However, he went out and began to proclaim it freely, and to spread the matter, so that Jesus could no longer openly enter the city, but was outside in deserted places; (AC)and they came to Him from every direction.

Mark 1:23-45
New International Version
Mark 1:23-45
New International Version
23 Just then a man in their synagogue who was possessed by an impure spirit cried out, 24 “What do you want with us,(A) Jesus of Nazareth?(B) Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God!”(C)
25 “Be quiet!” said Jesus sternly. “Come out of him!”(D) 26 The impure spirit shook the man violently and came out of him with a shriek.(E)
27 The people were all so amazed(F) that they asked each other, “What is this? A new teaching—and with authority! He even gives orders to impure spirits and they obey him.” 28 News about him spread quickly over the whole region(G) of Galilee.
Jesus Heals Many(H)(I)
29 As soon as they left the synagogue,(J) they went with James and John to the home of Simon and Andrew. 30 Simon’s mother-in-law was in bed with a fever, and they immediately told Jesus about her. 31 So he went to her, took her hand and helped her up.(K) The fever left her and she began to wait on them.
32 That evening after sunset the people brought to Jesus all the sick and demon-possessed.(L) 33 The whole town gathered at the door, 34 and Jesus healed many who had various diseases.(M) He also drove out many demons, but he would not let the demons speak because they knew who he was.(N)
Jesus Prays in a Solitary Place(O)
35 Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed.(P) 36 Simon and his companions went to look for him, 37 and when they found him, they exclaimed: “Everyone is looking for you!”
38 Jesus replied, “Let us go somewhere else—to the nearby villages—so I can preach there also. That is why I have come.”(Q) 39 So he traveled throughout Galilee, preaching in their synagogues(R) and driving out demons.(S)
Jesus Heals a Man With Leprosy(T)
40 A man with leprosy[a] came to him and begged him on his knees,(U) “If you are willing, you can make me clean.”
41 Jesus was indignant.[b] He reached out his hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!” 42 Immediately the leprosy left him and he was cleansed.
43 Jesus sent him away at once with a strong warning: 44 “See that you don’t tell this to anyone.(V) But go, show yourself to the priest(W) and offer the sacrifices that Moses commanded for your cleansing,(X) as a testimony to them.” 45 Instead he went out and began to talk freely, spreading the news. As a result, Jesus could no longer enter a town openly but stayed outside in lonely places.(Y) Yet the people still came to him from everywhere.(Z)
