Mark 1:14-34

New King James Version

Jesus Begins His Galilean Ministry^(A)

¹⁴^(B)Now after John was put in prison, Jesus came to Galilee, ^(C)preaching the gospel ^[a]of the kingdom of God, ¹⁵and saying, ^(D)“The time is fulfilled, and ^(E)the kingdom of God ^[b]is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel.”

Four Fishermen Called as Disciples^(F)

¹⁶^(G)And as He walked by the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen. ¹⁷Then Jesus said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you become ^(H)fishers of men.” ¹⁸^(I)They immediately left their nets and followed Him.

¹⁹When He had gone a little farther from there, He saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the boat mending their nets. ²⁰And immediately He called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, and went after Him.

Jesus Casts Out an Unclean Spirit^(J)

²¹^(K)Then they went into Capernaum, and immediately on the Sabbath He entered the ^(L)synagogue and taught. ²²^(M)And they were astonished at His teaching, for He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

²³Now there was a man in their synagogue with an ^(N)unclean spirit. And he cried out, ²⁴saying, “Let us alone! ^(O)What have we to do with You, Jesus of Nazareth? Did You come to destroy us? I ^(P)know who You are—the ^(Q)Holy One of God!”

²⁵But Jesus ^(R)rebuked him, saying, ^[c]“Be quiet, and come out of him!” ²⁶And when the unclean spirit ^(S)had convulsed him and cried out with a loud voice, he came out of him. ²⁷Then they were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, ^[d]“What is this? What new ^[e]doctrine is this? For with authority He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey Him.” ²⁸And immediately His ^(T)fame spread throughout all the region around Galilee.

Peter’s Mother-in-Law Healed^(U)

²⁹^(V)Now as soon as they had come out of the synagogue, they entered the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. ³⁰But Simon’s wife’s mother lay sick with a fever, and they told Him about her at once. ³¹So 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^(W)

³²^(X)At evening, when the sun had set, they brought to Him all who were sick and those who were demon-possessed. ³³And the whole city was gathered together at the door. ³⁴Then He healed many who were sick with various diseases, and ^(Y)cast out many demons; and He ^(Z)did not allow the demons to speak, because they knew Him.
