Mark 1

The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

Initium Evangelii Jesu Christi, Filii Dei.

Ἀρχὴ τοῦ εὐαγγελίου Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ,

As it is written in Isaiah the prophet:

Sicut scriptum est in Isaia propheta : Ecce ego mitto angelum meum ante faciem tuam, qui præparabit viam tuam ante te.

καθὼς γέγραπται ἐν τῷ Ἠσαΐᾳ τῷ προφήτῃ: ἰδοὺ ἀποστέλλω τὸν ἄγγελόν μου πρὸ προσώπου σου, ὃς κατασκευάσει τὴν ὁδόν σου:

A voice of one crying in the desert: Prepare ye the way of the Lord; make straight his paths.

Vox clamantis in deserto : Parate viam Domini, rectas facite semitas ejus.

φωνὴ βοῶντος ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ: ἑτοιμάσατε τὴν ὁδὸν κυρίου, εὐθείας ποιεῖτε τὰς τρίβους αὐτοῦ.

John was in the desert, baptizing and preaching the baptism of penance, unto remission of sins.

Fuit Joannes in deserto baptizans, et prædicans baptismum pœnitentiæ in remissionem peccatorum.

ἐγένετο Ἰωάννης ὁ βαπτίζων ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ κηρύσσων βάπτισμα μετανοίας εἰς ἄφεσιν ἁμαρτιῶν.

And there went out to him all the country of Judea and all they of Jerusalem and were baptized by him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins.

Et egrediebatur ad eum omnis Judææ regio, et Jerosolymitæ universi, et baptizabantur ab illo in Jordanis flumine, confitentes peccata sua.

καὶ ἐξεπορεύετο πρὸς αὐτὸν πᾶσα ἡ Ἰουδαία χώρα καὶ οἱ Ἱεροσολυμῖται πάντες, καὶ ἐβαπτίζοντο ὑπ' αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ Ἰορδάνῃ ποταμῷ ἐξομολογούμενοι τὰς ἁμαρτίας αὐτῶν.

And John was clothed with camel’s hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and he ate locusts and wild honey.

Et erat Joannes vestitus pilis cameli, et zona pellicea circa lumbos ejus, et locustas et mel silvestre edebat.

καὶ ἦν ὁ Ἰωάννης ἐνδεδυμένος τρίχας καμήλου καὶ ζώνην δερματίνην περὶ τὴν ὀσφὺν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐσθίων ἀκρίδας καὶ μέλι ἄγριον.

And he preached, saying: There cometh after me one mightier than I, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and loose.

Et prædicabat dicens : Venit fortior post me, cujus non sum dignus procumbens solvere corrigiam calceamentorum ejus.

καὶ ἐκήρυσσεν λέγων: ἔρχεται ὁ ἰσχυρότερός μου ὀπίσω [μου], οὗ οὐκ εἰμὶ ἱκανὸς κύψας λῦσαι τὸν ἱμάντα τῶν ὑποδημάτων αὐτοῦ:

I have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost.

Ego baptizavi vos aqua, ille vero baptizabit vos Spiritu Sancto.

ἐγὼ ἐβάπτισα ὑμᾶς ὕδατι, αὐτὸς δὲ βαπτίσει ὑμᾶς πνεύματι ἁγίῳ.

And it came to pass, in those days, Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan.

Et factum est : in diebus illis venit Jesus a Nazareth Galilææ : et baptizatus est a Joanne in Jordane.

Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν ἐκείναις ταῖς ἡμέραις ἦλθεν Ἰησοῦς ἀπὸ Ναζαρὲτ τῆς Γαλιλαίας καὶ ἐβαπτίσθη εἰς τὸν Ἰορδάνην ὑπὸ Ἰωάννου.

And forthwith coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens open and the Spirit as a dove descending and remaining on him.

Et statim ascendens de aqua, vidit cælos apertos, et Spiritum tamquam columbam descendentem, et manentem in ipso.

καὶ εὐθὺς ἀναβαίνων ἐκ τοῦ ὕδατος εἶδεν σχιζομένους τοὺς οὐρανοὺς καὶ τὸ πνεῦμα ὡς περιστερὰν καταβαῖνον εἰς αὐτόν.

And there came a voice from heaven: Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.

Et vox facta est de cælis : Tu es Filius meus dilectus, in te complacui.

καὶ φωνὴ [ἐγένετο] ἐκ τῶν οὐρανῶν: σὺ εἶ ὁ υἱός μου ὁ ἀγαπητός, ἐν σοὶ εὐδόκησα.

And immediately the Spirit drove him out into the desert.

Et statim Spiritus expulit eum in desertum.

Καὶ εὐθὺς τὸ πνεῦμα αὐτὸν ἐκβάλλει εἰς τὴν ἔρημον.

And he was in the desert forty days and forty nights, and was tempted by Satan. And he was with beasts: and the angels ministered to him.

Et erat in deserto quadraginta diebus, et quadraginta noctibus : et tentabatur a Satana : eratque cum bestiis, et angeli ministrabant illi.

καὶ ἦν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ τεσσεράκοντα ἡμέρας πειραζόμενος ὑπὸ τοῦ Σατανᾶ, καὶ ἦν μετὰ τῶν θηρίων, καὶ οἱ ἄγγελοι διηκόνουν αὐτῷ.

And after that John was delivered up, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,

Postquam autem traditus est Joannes, venit Jesus in Galilæam, prædicans Evangelium regni Dei,

Καὶ Μετὰ τὸ παραδοθῆναι τὸν Ἰωάννην ἦλθεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἰς τὴν Γαλιλαίαν, κηρύσσων τὸ εὐαγγέλιον τοῦ θεοῦ,

And saying: The time is accomplished and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent and believe the gospel:

et dicens : Quoniam impletum est tempus, et appropinquavit regnum Dei : pœnitemini, et credite Evangelio.

[καὶ λέγων] ὅτι πεπλήρωται ὁ καιρὸς καὶ ἤγγικεν ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ θεοῦ: μετανοεῖτε καὶ πιστεύετε ἐν τῷ εὐαγγελίῳ.

And passing by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother, casting nets into the sea for they were fishermen.

Et præteriens secus mare Galilææ, vidit Simonem, et Andream fratrem ejus, mittentes retia in mare (erant enim piscatores),

Καὶ παράγων παρὰ τὴν θάλασσαν τῆς Γαλιλαίας εἶδεν Σίμωνα καὶ Ἀνδρέαν τὸν ἀδελφὸν Σίμωνος ἀμφιβάλλοντας ἐν τῇ θαλάσσῃ: ἦσαν γὰρ ἁλιεῖς.

And Jesus said to them: Come after me; and I will make you to become fishers of men.

et dixit eis Jesus : Venite post me, et faciam vos fieri piscatores hominum.

καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς: δεῦτε ὀπίσω μου, καὶ ποιήσω ὑμᾶς γενέσθαι ἁλιεῖς ἀνθρώπων.

And immediately leaving their nets, they followed him.

Et protinus relictis retibus, secuti sunt eum.

καὶ εὐθὺς ἀφέντες τὰ δίκτυα ἠκολούθησαν αὐτῷ.

And going on from thence a little farther, he saw James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, who also were mending their nets in the ship:

Et progressus inde pusillum, vidit Jacobum Zebedæi, et Joannem fratrem ejus, et ipsos componentes retia in navi:

καὶ προβὰς ὀλίγον εἶδεν Ἰάκωβον τὸν τοῦ Ζεβεδαίου καὶ Ἰωάννην τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ, καὶ αὐτοὺς ἐν τῷ πλοίῳ καταρτίζοντας τὰ δίκτυα,

And forthwith he called them. And leaving their father Zebedee in the ship with his hired men, they followed him.

et statim vocavit illos. Et relicto patre suo Zebedæo in navi cum mercenariis, secuti sunt eum.

καὶ εὐθὺς ἐκάλεσεν αὐτούς: καὶ ἀφέντες τὸν πατέρα αὐτῶν Ζεβεδαῖον ἐν τῷ πλοίῳ μετὰ τῶν μισθωτῶν ἀπῆλθον ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ.

And they entered into Capharnaum: and forthwith upon the sabbath days going into the synagogue, he taught them.

Et ingrediuntur Capharnaum : et statim sabbatis ingressus in synagogam, docebat eos.

Καὶ εἰσπορεύονται εἰς Καφαρναούμ: καὶ εὐθὺς τοῖς σάββασιν εἰσελθὼν εἰς τὴν συναγωγὴν. ἐδίδασκεν

And they were astonished at his doctrine. For he was teaching them as one having power, and not as the scribes.

Et stupebant super doctrina ejus : erat enim docens eos quasi potestatem habens, et non sicut scribæ.

καὶ ἐξεπλήσσοντο ἐπὶ τῇ διδαχῇ αὐτοῦ: ἦν γὰρ διδάσκων αὐτοὺς ὡς ἐξουσίαν ἔχων, καὶ οὐχ ὡς οἱ γραμματεῖς.

And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,

Et erat in synagoga eorum homo in spiritu immundo : et exclamavit,

Καὶ εὐθὺς ἦν ἐν τῇ συναγωγῇ αὐτῶν ἄνθρωπος ἐν πνεύματι ἀκαθάρτῳ, καὶ ἀνέκραξεν

Saying: What have we to do with thee, Jesus of Nazareth? Art thou come to destroy us? I know who thou art, the Holy One of God.

dicens : Quid nobis et tibi, Jesu Nazarene? venisti perdere nos? scio qui sis, Sanctus Dei.

λέγων: τί ἡμῖν καὶ σοί, Ἰησοῦ Ναζαρηνέ; ἦλθες ἀπολέσαι ἡμᾶς: οἶδά σε τίς εἶ, ὁ ἅγιος τοῦ θεοῦ.

And Jesus threatened him, saying: Speak no more, and go out of the man.

Et comminatus est ei Jesus, dicens : Obmutesce, et exi de homine.

καὶ ἐπετίμησεν αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς: [λέγων] φιμώθητι καὶ ἔξελθε ἐξ αὐτοῦ.

And the unclean spirit, tearing him and crying out with a loud voice, went out of him.

Et discerpens eum spiritus immundus, et exclamans voce magna, exiit ab eo.

καὶ σπαράξαν αὐτὸν τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ ἀκάθαρτον καὶ φωνῆσαν φωνῇ μεγάλῃ ἐξῆλθεν ἐξ αὐτοῦ.

And they were all amazed insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying: What thing is this? What is this new doctrine? For with power he commandeth even the unclean spirits: and they obey him.

Et mirati sunt omnes, ita ut conquirerent inter se dicentes : Quidnam est hoc? quænam doctrina hæc nova? quia in potestate etiam spiritibus immundis imperat, et obediunt ei.

καὶ ἐθαμβήθησαν ἅπαντες, ὥστε συζητεῖν αὐτοὺς λέγοντας: τί ἐστιν τοῦτο; διδαχὴ καινὴ κατ' ἐξουσίαν: καὶ τοῖς πνεύμασι τοῖς ἀκαθάρτοις ἐπιτάσσει, καὶ ὑπακούουσιν αὐτῷ.

And the fame of him was spread forthwith into all the country of Galilee.

Et processit rumor ejus statim in omnem regionem Galilææ.

καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ἡ ἀκοὴ αὐτοῦ εὐθὺς πανταχοῦ εἰς ὅλην τὴν περίχωρον τῆς Γαλιλαίας.

And immediately going out of the synagogue they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.

Et protinus egredientes de synagoga, venerunt in domum Simonis et Andreæ, cum Jacobo et Joanne.

Καὶ εὐθὺς ἐκ τῆς συναγωγῆς ἐξελθόντες ἦλθον εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν Σίμωνος καὶ Ἀνδρέου μετὰ Ἰακώβου καὶ Ἰωάννου.

And Simon’s wife’s mother lay in a fit of a fever: and forthwith they tell him of her.

Decumbebat autem socrus Simonis febricitans : et statim dicunt ei de illa.

ἡ δὲ πενθερὰ Σίμωνος κατέκειτο πυρέσσουσα, καὶ εὐθὺς λέγουσιν αὐτῷ περὶ αὐτῆς.

And coming to her, he lifted her up, taking her by the hand; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them.

Et accedens elevavit eam, apprehensa manu ejus : et continuo dimisit eam febris, et ministrabat eis.

καὶ προσελθὼν ἤγειρεν αὐτὴν κρατήσας τῆς χειρός: καὶ ἀφῆκεν αὐτὴν ὁ πυρετός, καὶ διηκόνει αὐτοῖς.

And when it was evening, after sunset, they brought to him all that were ill and that were possessed with devils.

Vespere autem facto cum occidisset sol, afferebant ad eum omnes male habentes, et dæmonia habentes:

Ὀψίας δὲ γενομένης, ὅτε ἔδυσεν ὁ ἥλιος, ἔφερον πρὸς αὐτὸν πάντας τοὺς κακῶς ἔχοντας καὶ τοὺς δαιμονιζομένους:

And all the city was gathered together at the door.

et erat omnis civitas congregata ad januam.

καὶ ἦν ὅλη ἡ πόλις ἐπισυνηγμένη πρὸς τὴν θύραν.

And he healed many that were troubled with divers diseases. And he cast out many devils: and he suffered them not to speak, because they knew him.

Et curavit multos, qui vexabantur variis languoribus, et dæmonia multa ejiciebat, et non sinebat ea loqui, quoniam sciebant eum.

καὶ ἐθεράπευσεν πολλοὺς κακῶς ἔχοντας ποικίλαις νόσοις, καὶ δαιμόνια πολλὰ ἐξέβαλεν, καὶ οὐκ ἤφιεν λαλεῖν τὰ δαιμόνια, ὅτι ᾔδεισαν αὐτόν [Χριστὸν εἶναι].

And rising very early, going out, he went into a desert place: and there he prayed.

Et diluculo valde surgens, egressus abiit in desertum locum, ibique orabat.

Καὶ πρωῒ ἔννυχα λίαν ἀναστὰς ἐξῆλθεν [καὶ ἀπῆλθεν] εἰς ἔρημον τόπον κἀκεῖ προσηύχετο.

And Simon and they that were with him followed after him.

Et prosecutus est eum Simon, et qui cum illo erant.

καὶ κατεδίωξεν αὐτὸν Σίμων καὶ οἱ μετ' αὐτοῦ,

And when they had found him, they said to him: All seek for thee.

Et cum invenissent eum, dixerunt ei : Quia omnes quærunt te.

καὶ εὗρον αὐτὸν, καὶ λέγουσιν αὐτῷ ὅτι πάντες ζητοῦσίν σε.

And he saith to them: Let us go into the neighbouring towns and cities, that I may preach there also; for to this purpose am I come.

Et ait illis : Eamus in proximos vicos, et civitates, ut et ibi prædicem : ad hoc enim veni.

καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς: ἄγωμεν ἀλλαχοῦ εἰς τὰς ἐχομένας κωμοπόλεις, ἵνα καὶ ἐκεῖ κηρύξω: εἰς τοῦτο γὰρ ἐξῆλθον.

And he was preaching in their synagogues and in all Galilee and casting out devils.

Et erat prædicans in synagogis eorum, et in omni Galilæa, et dæmonia ejiciens.

καὶ ἦλθεν κηρύσσων εἰς τὰς συναγωγὰς αὐτῶν εἰς ὅλην τὴν Γαλιλαίαν καὶ τὰ δαιμόνια ἐκβάλλων.

And there came a leper to him, beseeching him and kneeling down, said to him: If thou wilt thou canst make me clean.

Et venit ad eum leprosus deprecans eum : et genu flexo dixit ei : Si vis, potes me mundare.

Καὶ ἔρχεται πρὸς αὐτὸν λεπρὸς παρακαλῶν αὐτὸν [καὶ γονυπετῶν] λέγων αὐτῷ ὅτι ἐὰν θέλῃς δύνασαί με καθαρίσαι.

And Jesus, having compassion on him, stretched forth his hand and touching him saith to him: I will. Be thou made clean.

Jesus autem misertus ejus, extendit manum suam : et tangens eum, ait illi : Volo : mundare.

καὶ σπλαγχνισθεὶς ἐκτείνας τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ ἥψατο καὶ λέγει: αὐτῷ θέλω, καθαρίσθητι.

And when he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him: and he was made clean.

Et cum dixisset, statim discessit ab eo lepra, et mundatus est.

καὶ εὐθὺς ἀπῆλθεν ἀπ' αὐτοῦ ἡ λέπρα, καὶ ἐκαθαρίσθη.

And he strictly charged him and forthwith sent him away.

Et comminatus est ei, statimque ejecit illum,

καὶ ἐμβριμησάμενος αὐτῷ εὐθὺς ἐξέβαλεν αὐτόν,

And he saith to him: See thou tell no one; but go, show thyself to the high priest and offer for thy cleansing the things that Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.

et dicit ei : Vide nemini dixeris : sed vade, ostende te principi sacerdotum, et offer pro emundatione tua, quæ præcepit Moyses in testimonium illis.

καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ: ὅρα μηδενὶ μηδὲν εἴπῃς, ἀλλὰ ὕπαγε σεαυτὸν δεῖξον τῷ ἱερεῖ καὶ προσένεγκε περὶ τοῦ καθαρισμοῦ σου ἃ προσέταξεν Μωϋσῆς, εἰς μαρτύριον αὐτοῖς.

But he being gone out, began to publish and to blaze abroad the word: so that he could not openly go into the city, but was without in desert places. And they flocked to him from all sides.

At ille egressus cœpit prædicare, et diffamare sermonem, ita ut jam non posset manifeste introire in civitatem, sed foris in desertis locis esset, et conveniebant ad eum undique.

ὁ δὲ ἐξελθὼν ἤρξατο κηρύσσειν πολλὰ καὶ διαφημίζειν τὸν λόγον, ὥστε μηκέτι αὐτὸν δύνασθαι φανερῶς εἰς πόλιν εἰσελθεῖν, ἀλλ' ἔξω ἐπ' ἐρήμοις τόποις [ἦν], καὶ ἤρχοντο πρὸς αὐτὸν πάντοθεν.
