1 Princípio do Evangelho de Jesus Cristo.
2 Conforme está escrito no profeta Isaías: Eis aí envio eu ante a tua face o meu anjo, Que há de preparar o teu caminho;
3 Voz do que clama no deserto: Preparai o caminho do Senhor, Endireitai as suas veredas;
4 apareceu João Batista no deserto pregando o batismo de arrependimento para remissão de pecados.
5 Saíam a ter com ele toda a terra da Judéia, e todos os moradores de Jerusalém; e eram por ele batizados no rio Jordão, confessando os seus pecados.
6 João usava uma veste de pêlo de camelo, e uma correia em volta da cintura; e comia gafanhotos e mel silvestre.
7 Ele pregava: Depois de mim vem aquele que é mais poderoso do que eu, diante do qual não sou digno de abaixar-me para lhe desatar a correia das sandálias.
8 Eu vos batizei com água, mas ele vos batizará com o Espírito Santo.
9 Naqueles dias Jesus veio de Nazaré da Galiléia, e por João foi batizado no Jordão:
10 Logo ao sair da água, viu os céus abrirem-se e o Espírito como pomba descer sobre ele;
11 e ouviu-se uma voz dos céus: Tu és o meu Filho dileto, em ti me agrado.
12 Imediatamente o Espírito o impeliu para o deserto.
13 Ali ficou quarenta dias tentado por Satanás; estava com as feras, e os anjos o serviam.
14 Depois de João ser preso, foi Jesus para a Galiléia, pregando o Evangelho de Deus
15 e dizendo: O tempo está cumprido, e o reino de Deus está próximo; arrependei-vos e crede no Evangelho.
16 Caminhando ao lado do mar da Galiléia, viu a Simão e a André, irmão de Simão, lançarem a rede ao mar; porque eram pescadores.
17 Disse-lhes Jesus: Segui-me, e eu farei que vos torneis pescadores de homens.
18 No mesmo instante deixaram as redes e o seguiram.
19 Passando um pouco adiante, viu a Tiago e a João, filhos de Zebedeu, que estavam na sua barca, consertando as redes.
20 Logo os chamou; e eles, tendo deixado na barca a Zebedeu, seu pai, com os empregados, foram após Jesus.
21 Entraram em Cafarnaum; e no sábado seguinte indo ele à sinagoga, pôs-se a ensinar.
22 Admiravam-se do seu ensino, porque ele os ensinava como quem tinha autoridade, e não como os escribas.
23 Estava na sinagoga um homem possesso de um espírito imundo,
24 que gritou: Que temos nós contigo, Jesus Nazareno? Vieste a perder-nos. Bem sei quem és, és o Santo de Deus.
25 Mas Jesus repreendeu-o, dizendo: Cala-te e sai desse homem.
26 O espírito imundo, agitando-o violentamente e brandando em alta voz, saiu dele.
27 Todos ficaram tão admirados, que uns aos outros perguntavam: Que é isto? uma nova doutrina com autoridade! ele manda aos próprios espíritos imundos, e eles lhe obedecem!
28 Divulgou-se logo a sua fama por toda a circunvizinhança da Galiléia.
29 Em seguida tendo saído da sinagoga, foram com Tiago e João à casa de Simão e André.
30 A sogra de Simão estava de cama com febre; e logo lhe falaram a respeito dela.
31 Ele, aproximando-se da enferma e tomando-a pela mão, a levantou; a febre a deixou, e ela começou a servi-los.
32 À tarde, estando já o sol posto, traziam-lhe todos os doentes e endemoninhados;
33 e toda a cidade estava reunida à porta.
34 Ele curou muitos que se achavam doentes de diversas moléstias, e expeliu muitos demônios, não permitindo que estes falassem, porque sabiam quem ele era.
35 Levantando-se antes da madrugada, saiu e foi a um lugar deserto, e ali orava.
36 Simão e seus companheiros foram procurá-lo;
37 e encontrando-o, disseram: Todos te buscam.
38 Disse-lhes Jesus: Vamos a outros lugares, às povoações vizinhas, a fim de que eu também aí pregue; porque para isso vim.
39 Foi por toda a Galiléia, pregando nas sinagogas e expelindo os demônios.
40 Chegou-se a ele um leproso, fazendo-lhe a sua rogativa, e ajoelhando-se, disse: Se quiseres, bem podes tornar-me limpo.
41 Jesus, compadecido dele, estendeu a mão e tocou-o, dizendo: Quero; fica limpo.
42 No mesmo instante desapareceu-lhe a lepra, e ficou limpo.
43 Advertindo-lhe com energia, logo o despediu,
44 dizendo: Olha, não digas nada a ninguém, mas vai mostrar-te ao sacerdote e oferecer-lhe pela tua purificação o que Moisés ordenou, para lhes servir de testemunho.
45 Porém ele, saindo dali, começou a publicar o caso por toda a parte e a divulgá-lo, de modo que Jesus já não podia entrar abertamente numa cidade, mas ficava fora em lugares despovoados; e de todos os lados iam ter com ele.
1 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God; 2 As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. 3 The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. 4 John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins. 5 And there went out unto him all the land of Judæa, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized of him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins. 6 And John was clothed with camel’s hair, and with a girdle of a skin about his loins; and he did eat locusts and wild honey; 7 And preached, saying, There cometh one mightier than I after me, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose. 8 I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost. 9 And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan. 10 And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him: 11 And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. 12 And immediately the Spirit driveth him into the wilderness. 13 And he was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted of Satan; and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto him. 14 Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, 15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. 16 Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers. 17 And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men. 18 And straightway they forsook their nets, and followed him. 19 And when he had gone a little further thence, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the ship mending their nets. 20 And straightway he called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants, and went after him. 21 And they went into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath day he entered into the synagogue, and taught. 22 And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes. 23 And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out, 24 Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God. 25 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. 26 And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him. 27 And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What thing is this? what new doctrine is this? for with authority commandeth he even the unclean spirits, and they do obey him. 28 And immediately his fame spread abroad throughout all the region round about Galilee. 29 And forthwith, when they were come out of the synagogue, they entered into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. 30 But Simon’s wife’s mother lay sick of a fever, and anon they tell him of her. 31 And he came and took her by the hand, and lifted her up; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them. 32 And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all that were diseased, and them that were possessed with devils. 33 And all the city was gathered together at the door. 34 And he healed many that were sick of divers diseases, and cast out many devils; and suffered not the devils to speak, because they knew him. 35 And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed. 36 And Simon and they that were with him followed after him. 37 And when they had found him, they said unto him, All men seek for thee. 38 And he said unto them, Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also: for therefore came I forth. 39 And he preached in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and cast out devils. 40 And there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. 41 And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean. 42 And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed. 43 And he straitly charged him, and forthwith sent him away; 44 And saith unto him, See thou say nothing to any man: but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing those things which Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them. 45 But he went out, and began to publish it much, and to blaze abroad the matter, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly enter into the city, but was without in desert places: and they came to him from every quarter.
