             ^1:1 The beginning of the good-news of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. ^1:2 As it has been written in the prophets, ‘Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will be preparing your way.’ {Mal 3:1} ^1:3 ‘The voice of one crying in the wilderness, prepare^° the way of the Lord; make^*° his paths straight.’ {Isa 40:3} ^1:4 John came^*, immersing^* in the wilderness and preaching the immersion^* of repentance into the forgiveness of sins. ^1:5 And all the region of Judea and those from Jerusalem were traveling out to him, and all were being immersed^* by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins. ^1:6 Now John has clothed himself with camel’s hair and a leather belt around his waist and was eating locusts and wild honey.

 

             ^1:7 And he was preaching, saying, He is coming after me, the mightier one than I. I am not sufficient to stoop down to loose the strap of his shoes. ^1:8 I indeed immersed^* you^° in water, but he himself will immerse^* you^° in the Holy Spirit.

 

             {Mar 1:9-11 & Mat 3:13-17 Luk 3:21-22 Jordan east of Jericho, Spring 27 AD.}

             ^1:9 And it happened in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was immersed^* by John into the Jordan. ^1:10 And immediately coming-up from the water, he saw the heavens being split-apart, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him. ^1:11 And a voice came^* out-of the heavens, You are my beloved Son, in whom I am delighted.

 

             {Mar 1:12-13 & Mat 4:1-11 & Luk 4:1-13.}

             ^1:12 And immediately the Spirit cast him forth into the wilderness. ^1:13 And he was there in the wilderness for forty days, being tempted by the Adversary, and he was with the beasts, and the messengers were serving him.

             ^1:14 Now after John was given up,

             {Mar 1:14b-15 & Mat 4:17 & Luk 4:14b-15.}

             Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the good-news of the kingdom of God, ^1:15 and saying, The time has been fulfilled and the kingdom of God has drawn near. Repent^° and believe^° in the good-news.

 

             {Joh 4:46-54 Cana.} {Luk 4:16-31.} {Mat 4:13-16 Capernaum.}

             {Mar 1:16-20 & Mat 4:18-22 & Luk 5:1-11 Sea of Galilee near Capernaum.}

             ^1:16 Now walking beside the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother, sons of Simon, casting a net in the sea; for^* they were fishermen. ^1:17 And Jesus said to them, Come-here^° after me and I will make^* you^° to become fishermen of men. ^1:18 And immediately they left their nets and followed him. ^1:19 And he advanced a few feet from there and saw James and John his brother, the sons of Zebedee, and they were in the ship mending the nets. ^1:20 And immediately he called them, and they left their father Zebedee with the hired-hands in the ship and went after him.

 

             {Mar 1:21-28 & Luk 4:31-37 Capernaum.}

             ^1:21 And they travel into Capernaum, and he immediately entered into the synagogue on the Sabbath and was teaching. ^1:22 And they were being astounded at his teaching; for^* he was teaching them like one having authority and not like the scribes.

             ^1:23 And a man with an unclean spirit was in their synagogue and he cried out, ^1:24 saying, Ah! What is this thing with us and with you, Jesus the Nazarene? Did you come to destroy us? I know you, I know who you are, the Holy One of God.

             ^1:25 And Jesus rebuked it, saying, Hush and come forth out-of him.

             ^1:26 And the unclean spirit convulsed him and cried out with a loud voice and went forth out-of him. ^1:27 And they were all amazed, so-then they began to debate together-with themselves, saying, What is this thing? What new teaching is this that he commands even the unclean spirits according-to God’s authority, and they are obeying^* him?

             ^1:28 Now the report of him went forth immediately, into the whole region around Galilee.

 

             {Mar 1:29-34 & Mat 8:14-17 & Luk 4:38-41 Capernaum.}

             ^1:29 And immediately, they came forth out-of the synagogue, and they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. ^1:30 Now Simon’s mother-in-law was reclining, fevered, and immediately they speak to him concerning her. ^1:31 And he came near, took-hold of her hand and lifted her up, and immediately the fever left her and she was serving them.

 

             ^1:32 Now after it became evening, when the sun set, they were bringing to him all who have an illness and the ones being demon-possessed. ^1:33 And the whole city was being gathered together next to the door. ^1:34 And he healed many having an illness with various diseases, and cast forth many demons, and he was not allowing the demons to speak, because they knew him.

 

             {Mar 1:35-39 & Mat 4:23-25 & Luk 4:42-44 Preaching through Galilee.}

             ^1:35 And he rose^* up exceedingly early in the morning, while still in the night, and came forth, went away into a desolate place, and he was praying there. ^1:36 And Simon, and the ones with him, pursued him; ^1:37 and after they found him, they say to him, All are seeking you.

 

             ^1:38 And he says to them, Let us be proceeding into the next towns in-order-that I should also preach there, for^* I have come ^*for this purpose. ^1:39 And he was preaching and casting forth demons in their synagogues in the whole of Galilee.

 

             {Mar 1:40-45 & Mat 8:2-4 & Luk 5:12-16.}

             ^1:40 And a leper comes to him, pleading with him, and kneeling down to him and saying to him, If you are willing, you are able to cleanse me.

             ^1:41 Now Jesus had compassion, stretched out his hand and touched him and says to him, I am willing. Be cleansed. ^1:42 And after he said that, the leprosy immediately went away from him and he was cleansed. ^1:43 And he scolded him and immediately put him forth, ^1:44 and says to him, See that you say nothing to anyone, but proceed-away; show yourself to the priest, and offer the thing which Moses commanded concerning your cleansing ^*for a testimony to them. {Lev 13:49, 14:2-4} ^1:45 But he went forth and began to preach it much, and to broadcast the word, so-then he {i.e., Jesus} was no longer able to openly enter into the city, but was outside in desolate places, and they were coming to him from everywhere.
