Dee Aunfank fonn daut Evanjeelium fonn Jesus Christus.

Em Profeet Jesaja steitet jeschraewe: "Kijkj! ekj woa mien Enjel fer die feropp schekje, dee die daen Wajch reed moake woat;

ne Stem dee enne Wiltnes schriehe woat: 'Moakt daem Herr sien Wajch reed, moakt sien Stich jlikj".

Jehaun kjeem en deed enne Wiltnes taufe, en praedjd ne Taufe to Buesse fa de Sinde fejaewunk.

Ekj tauf ju enn Wota, oba hee woat junt em Heilje Jeist taufe."

Nu pasead daut enn dee Doag daut Jesus no Natsaret enn Galilaea kjeem, en leet sikj fonn Jehaun em Jordan taufe.

10 En platslich aus hee utem Wota erut kjeem, sach hee daem Himel opjeraete, en dee Jeist rauf kome no am soo aus ne Duw;

16 Aus hee nu besied daen galilaeasche See jinkj, sach hee Peeta en sien Brooda Aundrees, dee aeare Nats em Wota enenn schmeete, dan see weare Fescha.

17 En Jesus saed to an: "Komt met mie met, en ekj woa junt to Menschefescha moake."

25 En Jesus beschwicht am, en saed: "Sie stel en komm ut am rut!"

26 En dee Jeist schmeet daem Maun oppe Ead, en kjeem ut am rut.

27 En aula weare erstaunt, en fruage sikj unjerenaunda, en saede: "Waut es dit? Es dit ne niehe Lea met Follmacht? Dan hee jeft dee onnreine Jeista Befael, en dee jehorche am!"

28 Oba dis Berecht fonn am spreed sikj haustich romm enn dee gaunse galilaeische Ommjaeajent.

29 Fuats aus see fonn dee Sienagoog rut jinje, kjeeme see met Jakoobus en Jehaun, enn Siemoon en Aundrees aeare Woninj enenn.

30 Nu Siemoon siene Schweamutta wea krank em Bad met en Feeba, en fuats saede see am daut.

31 Hee jinkj no aea, recht aea opp, en hilt aeare Haunt, en daut Feeba feleet, en see deend an.

32 Auset nu Owent wea, en dee Sonn unja jinkj, brochte see aul daen dee krank weare, en dee met beese Jeista besaete weare, no am;

34 En hee heeld fael dee krank weare met feschiedenste Krankheite, en dreef fael beese Jeista rut, en leet dee Jeista nich raede, dan dee kjannde am.

John the Baptist Prepares the Way(A)

The beginning of the good news about Jesus the Messiah,[a] the Son of God,[b](B) as it is written in Isaiah the prophet:

“I will send my messenger ahead of you,
    who will prepare your way”[c](C)
“a voice of one calling in the wilderness,
‘Prepare the way for the Lord,
    make straight paths for him.’”[d](D)

And so John the Baptist(E) appeared in the wilderness, preaching a baptism of repentance(F) for the forgiveness of sins.(G) The whole Judean countryside and all the people of Jerusalem went out to him. Confessing their sins, they were baptized by him in the Jordan River. John wore clothing made of camel’s hair, with a leather belt around his waist,(H) and he ate locusts(I) and wild honey. And this was his message: “After me comes the one more powerful than I, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie.(J) I baptize you with[e] water, but he will baptize you with[f] the Holy Spirit.”(K)

The Baptism and Testing of Jesus(L)(M)

At that time Jesus came from Nazareth(N) in Galilee and was baptized by John(O) in the Jordan. 10 Just as Jesus was coming up out of the water, he saw heaven being torn open and the Spirit descending on him like a dove.(P) 11 And a voice came from heaven: “You are my Son,(Q) whom I love; with you I am well pleased.”(R)

12 At once the Spirit sent him out into the wilderness, 13 and he was in the wilderness forty days,(S) being tempted[g] by Satan.(T) He was with the wild animals, and angels attended him.

Jesus Announces the Good News(U)

14 After John(V) was put in prison, Jesus went into Galilee,(W) proclaiming the good news of God.(X) 15 “The time has come,”(Y) he said. “The kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe(Z) the good news!”(AA)

Jesus Calls His First Disciples

16 As Jesus walked beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. 17 “Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will send you out to fish for people.” 18 At once they left their nets and followed him.(AB)

19 When he had gone a little farther, he saw James son of Zebedee and his brother John in a boat, preparing their nets. 20 Without delay he called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men and followed him.

Jesus Drives Out an Impure Spirit(AC)

21 They went to Capernaum, and when the Sabbath came, Jesus went into the synagogue and began to teach.(AD) 22 The people were amazed at his teaching, because he taught them as one who had authority, not as the teachers of the law.(AE) 23 Just then a man in their synagogue who was possessed by an impure spirit cried out, 24 “What do you want with us,(AF) Jesus of Nazareth?(AG) Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God!”(AH)

25 “Be quiet!” said Jesus sternly. “Come out of him!”(AI) 26 The impure spirit shook the man violently and came out of him with a shriek.(AJ)

27 The people were all so amazed(AK) 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(AL) of Galilee.

Jesus Heals Many(AM)(AN)

29 As soon as they left the synagogue,(AO) 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.(AP) 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.(AQ) 33 The whole town gathered at the door, 34 and Jesus healed many who had various diseases.(AR) He also drove out many demons, but he would not let the demons speak because they knew who he was.(AS)

Jesus Prays in a Solitary Place(AT)

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.(AU) 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.”(AV) 39 So he traveled throughout Galilee, preaching in their synagogues(AW) and driving out demons.(AX)

Jesus Heals a Man With Leprosy(AY)

40 A man with leprosy[h] came to him and begged him on his knees,(AZ) “If you are willing, you can make me clean.”

41 Jesus was indignant.[i] 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.(BA) But go, show yourself to the priest(BB) and offer the sacrifices that Moses commanded for your cleansing,(BC) 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.(BD) Yet the people still came to him from everywhere.(BE)
