\subsection{Mark 1} \subsubsection{The Ministry of Ioannes the Baptist} \VS{1} [This is the] beginning of the good news of Iesous Anointed\fnChristos{} [One], Son of God\footnote{``son of God'': BDW \vulgate{} \koine{}; omit: \sinaiticus{} few}, \VS{2} just as it is written in the prophets\footnote{``the prophets'': \koine{}W many; ``Isaiah the prophet'': \hesychian{} few}\footnote{A composite quotation: Mal.3:1, Isa.40:3}: \begin{verse} Behold I send my messenger before your face, \\ Which will prepare your way, \\ \VS{3}[A] voice in the wilderness: \\ Prepare the way of [the] Lord, \\ Make straight his paths. \end{verse} \VS{4} Ioannes appeared, the [one] baptizing in the wilderness preaching baptism of repentance for remission of sins. \VS{5} And all the Judea region and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem were going forth to him and were being baptized by him in the Jordan river confessing their sins. \VS{6} And Ioannes had clothed himself [with] camel's hairs and [a] leather belt [about] his loins, and eating locusts and wild honey. \VS{7} And he was preaching saying: [The one] mightier [than] me comes after me, of whom I am not sufficient having stooped down to loose the thong of his sandals. \VS{8} I baptized you with water, but he himself will baptize you with the Holy Spirit. \subsubsection{The Baptism and Temptation of Iesous} \VS{9} And it came to pass in those days [that] Iesous from Nazareth of Galilee came and was baptized in the Jordan by Ioannes. \VS{10} And straightway coming up out of the water he saw the heavens being rent and the spirit as [a] dove coming down to him. \VS{11} And [a] voice came to be out of the heavens: You are my agape-beloved son, in you I am well pleased. \VS{12} And straightway the spirit drives him into the wilderness. \VS{13} And he was in the wilderness forty days being tested by Satan, and he was with the beasts, and the angels were serving him. \subsubsection{Preaching in Galilee and the Call of the Disciples} \VS{14} And after Ioannes was handed over, Iesous came to Galilee preaching the good news of the kingdom of God\footnote{``good-news of the kingdom of God'' DW\koine{}\vulgate{} many; ``good-news of God'': \sinaiticus{}B few }, \VS{15} and saying: The time\fnKairos{} has been completed and the kingdom of God is at hand. Be repenting and be believing in the good news. \VS{16} And passing by the side of the sea of Galilee he saw Simon and Andrew the brothers of Simon casting nets in the sea, for they were fishermen. \VS{17} And Iesous said to them: Follow after me, and I will make you to become fishermen of men. \VS{18} And straightway having left [their] nets they followed him. \VS{19} And having gone forward [a] little he saw James the [son] of Zebedee and Ioannes his brother and [saw] them in the ship mending the nets \VS{20} And straightway he called them, and having left their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants they went after him. \subsubsection{Iesous's Authority} \VS{21} And they go into Capernaum and straightway on the Sabbath having gone into the synagogue he was teaching. \VS{22} And they were being amazed concerning his teaching, for he was teaching them as having authority and not as the scribes. \VS{23} And straightway there was in their synagogue [a] man in [an] unclean spirit and he cried out \VS{24} saying: What [is in common] to us and to you, Iesous the Nazarene? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are, the holy [one] of God! \VS{25} And Iesous admonished him saying: Be silenced and go out of him. \VS{26} And the unclean spirit, having convulsed him and having cried out with [a] loud voice, he went out of him. \VS{27} And all were astonished, so that they were discussing saying: Who is this? [Here is] new teaching according to authority, and [to] the unclean spirits he commands, and they obey him. \VS{28} And straightway the report of him went out everywhere to all the surrounding region of Galilee. \subsubsection{Healings at Simon's House} \VS{29} And straightway having gone out of the synagogue he went to Simon's and Andrew's house with James and Ioannes. \VS{30} But Simon's mother-in-law being ill of [a] fever was lying down, and straightway they speak to him concerning her. \VS{31} And having drawn near he raised her, having taken hold of her hand; and the fever went from her, and she was serving him. \VS{32} But evening having come, when the sun had set, they were bringing to him all those having [it] evil-ly, and the [ones] being possessed, \VS{33} and the whole city was gather at the door. \VS{34} And he healed many having [it] evil-ly with various diseases, and he cast out many demons, and he was not permitting the demons to be speaking, because they had known him\footnote{text: \sinaiticus{}D \koine{} \vulgate{}; ``to be the Anointed\fnChristos{} [One]'': BW}. \subsubsection{Praying and Preaching} \VS{35} And very early by night having risen up, he came out and went away to [a] deserted place, and there he was praying. \VS{36} And Simon and those with him pursued him closely, \VS{37} and found him and say to him that all look for him. \VS{38} And he says to them: Let us go elsewhere to the near country towns in order that I also preach there; for I came for this. \VS{39} And he came preaching in their synagogues in all Galilee and casting out demons. \subsubsection{Cleansing a Leper} \VS{40} And [a] leper comes to him calling him and falling down before him saying to him: If you be wishing, you are able to be making me clean. \VS{41} And having felt compassion and having stretched out his hand he laid hold [of him] and says to him: I wish [it], be cleansed. \VS{42} And straightway the leprosy came out from him and he was cleansed. \VS{43} And having sternly admonished him he sent him away, \VS{44} and says to him: Be seeing [that] to no one may you say anything, but be departing, show yourself to the priest and offer concerning your cleansing [that] which Moses prescribed beforehand, for a witness to them. \VS{45} But having gone out he began to be preaching much and to be spreading around the word, so that [he] no longer [was] able to openly enter into [a] city, but was outside at wilderness places; and they were coming to him from all sides.
