Mark 1
Config
1 This is the word of ADONAI that came to Mikhah the Morashti during the days of Yotam, Achaz and Y’chizkiyah, kings of Y’hudah, which he saw concerning Shomron and Yerushalayim:
2 Listen, peoples, all of you! Pay attention, earth, and everything in it! Adonai ELOHIM will witness against you, Adonai, from his holy temple.
3 For — look! — ADONAI is coming out of his place, coming down to tread on the high places of the land.
4 Beneath him the mountains will melt, the valleys split open like wax before fire, like water poured down a steep slope.
5 All this is because of the crime of Ya‘akov and the sins of the house of Isra’el. What is the crime of Ya‘akov? Isn’t it Shomron? And what are the high places of Y’hudah? Aren’t they Yerushalayim?
6 “So I will make Shomron a heap in the countryside, a place for planting vineyards; I will pour her stones down into the valley, laying bare her foundations.
7 All her carved images will be smashed to pieces, all she earned consumed by fire; and I will reduce her idols to rubble. She amassed them from a whore’s wages, and as a whore’s wages they will be spent again.”
8 This is why I howl and wail, why I go barefoot and stripped, why I howl like the jackals and mourn like the ostriches.
9 For her wound cannot be healed, and now it is coming to Y’hudah as well; it reaches even to the gate of my people, to Yerushalayim itself.
10 Don’t tell about it in Gat, don’t shed any tears. At Beit-L‘afrah [house of dust] roll yourself in the dust.
11 Inhabitants of Shafir, pass on your way in nakedness and shame. The inhabitants of Tza’anan have not left yet. The wailing of Beit-Ha’etzel will remove from you their support.
12 The inhabitants of Marot have no hope of anything good; for ADONAI has sent down disaster to the very gate of Yerushalayim.
13 Harness the chariots to the fastest horses, inhabitants of Lakhish; she was the beginning of sin for the daughter of Tziyon; for the crimes of Isra’el are traceable to you.
14 Therefore you must bestow parting gifts upon Moreshet-Gat. The houses of Akhziv will disappoint the kings of Isra’el.
15 Inhabitants of Mareshah, I have yet to bring you the one who will [invade and] possess you. The glory of Isra’el will come to ‘Adulam.
16 Shave the hair from your head as you mourn for the children who were your delight; make yourselves as bald as vultures, for they have gone from you into exile.
1 The beginning of the Good News of Yeshua the Messiah, the Son of God:
2 It is written in the prophet Yesha‘yahu, “See, I am sending my messenger ahead of you; he will prepare the way before you.” [1]
3 “The voice of someone crying out: ‘In the desert prepare the way for ADONAI! Make straight paths for him!’” [2]
4 So it was that Yochanan the Immerser appeared in the desert, proclaiming an immersion involving turning to God from sin in order to be forgiven.
5 People went out to him from all over Y’hudah, as did all the inhabitants of Yerushalayim. Confessing their sins, they were immersed by him in the Yarden River.
6 Yochanan wore clothes of camel’s hair, with a leather belt around his waist; he ate locusts and wild honey.
7 He proclaimed: “After me is coming someone who is more powerful than I — I’m not worthy even to bend down and untie his sandals.
8 I have immersed you in water, but he will immerse you in the Ruach HaKodesh.”
9 Shortly thereafter, Yeshua came from Natzeret in the Galil and was immersed in the Yarden by Yochanan.
10 Immediately upon coming up out of the water, he saw heaven torn open and the Spirit descending upon him like a dove;
11 then a voice came from heaven, “You are my Son, whom I love; I am well pleased with you.”
12 Immediately the Spirit drove him out into the wilderness,
13 and he was in the wilderness forty days being tempted by the Adversary. He was with the wild animals, and the angels took care of him.
14 After Yochanan had been arrested, Yeshua came into the Galil proclaiming the Good News from God:
15 “The time has come, God’s Kingdom is near! Turn to God from your sins and believe the Good News!”
16 As he walked beside Lake Kinneret, he saw Shim‘on and Andrew, Shim‘on’s brother, casting a net into the lake; for they were fishermen.
17 Yeshua said to them, “Come, follow me, and I will make you into fishers for men!”
18 At once they left their nets and followed him.
19 Going on a little farther, he saw Ya‘akov Ben-Zavdai and Yochanan, his brother, in their boat, repairing their nets.
20 Immediately he called them, and they left their father Zavdai in the boat with the hired men and went after Yeshua.
21 They entered K’far-Nachum, and on Shabbat Yeshua went into the synagogue and began teaching.
22 They were amazed at the way he taught, for he did not instruct them like the Torah-teachers but as one who had authority himself.
23 In their synagogue just then was a man with an unclean spirit in him, who shouted,
24 “What do you want with us, Yeshua from Natzeret? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are — the Holy One of God!”
25 But Yeshua rebuked the unclean spirit, “Be quiet and come out of him!”
26 Throwing the man into a convulsion, it gave a loud shriek and came out of him.
27 They were all so astounded that they began asking each other, “What is this? A new teaching, one with authority behind it! He gives orders even to the unclean spirits, and they obey him!”
28 And the news about him spread quickly through the whole region of the Galil.
29 They left the synagogue and went with Ya‘akov and Yochanan to the home of Shim‘on and Andrew.
30 Shim‘on’s mother-in-law was lying sick with a fever, and they told Yeshua about her.
31 He came, took her by the hand and lifted her onto her feet. The fever left her, and she began helping them.
32 That evening after sundown, they brought to Yeshua all who were ill or held in the power of demons,
33 and the whole town came crowding around the door.
34 He healed many who were ill with various diseases and expelled many demons, but he did not allow the demons to speak, because they knew who he was.
35 Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Yeshua got up, left, went away to a lonely spot and stayed there praying.
36 But Shim‘on and those with him went after him;
37 and when they found him, they said, “Everybody is looking for you.”
38 He answered, “Let’s go somewhere else — to the other villages around here. I have to proclaim the message there too — in fact this is why I came out.”
39 So he traveled all through the Galil, preaching in their synagogues and expelling demons.
40 A man afflicted with tzara‘at came to Yeshua and begged him on his knees, “If you are willing, you can make me clean.”
41 Moved with pity, Yeshua reached out his hand, touched him and said to him, “I am willing! Be cleansed!”
42 Instantly the tzara‘at left him, and he was cleansed.
43 Yeshua sent him away with this stern warning:
44 “See to it that you tell no one; instead, as a testimony to the people, go and let the cohen examine you, and offer for your cleansing what Moshe commanded.”
45 But he went out and began spreading the news, talking freely about it; so that Yeshua could no longer enter a town openly but stayed out in the country, where people continued coming to him from all around.
