Mar 1:1 The beginning of the Besorah of יהושע HaMoshiach, the Son of Elohim.

Mar 1:3 a voice of one crying in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way of יהוה, make His paths straight.’ ”1

Footnote: 1Isa. 40:3.

Mar 1:4 Yocḥanan came mikvah-ing in the wilderness and proclaiming a mikvah of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.
Mar 1:5 And all the country of Yehuḏah, and those of Yerushalayim, went out to him and were all mikvah-ed by him in the Yardĕn River, confessing their sins.
Mar 1:6 And Yocḥanan was clothed with camel’s hair and a leather girdle around his waist, and eating locusts and wild honey.
Mar 1:7 And he proclaimed, saying, “After me comes One who is mightier than I, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to stoop down and loosen.
Mar 1:8 “I indeed did immerse you in water, but He shall immerse you in Ruach HaKadosh.”
Mar 1:9 And it came to be in those days that יהושע came from Natsareth of Galil, and was mikvah-ed by Yocḥanan in the Yardĕn.
Mar 1:10 And immediately, coming up from the water, He saw the heavens being torn open and the Ruach coming down on Him like a dove.
Mar 1:11 And a voice came out of HaShamayim, “You are My Son, the Beloved, in whom I did delight.”
Mar 1:12 And immediately the Ruach drove Him into the wilderness.
Mar 1:13 And He was there in the wilderness forty days, tried by HaSatan, and was with the wild beasts. And the Malachim attended Him.
Mar 1:14 And after Yocḥanan was delivered up, יהושע came to Galil, proclaiming the Besorah of the reign of Elohim,
Mar 1:15 and saying, “The time has been filled, and the reign of Elohim has come near. Repent, and believe in the Besorah.”
Mar 1:16 And walking by the Sea of Galil, He saw Shimʽon, and Andri his brother, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishers.
Mar 1:17 And יהושע said to them, “Come, follow Me, and I shall make you become fishers of men.”
Mar 1:18 And immediately they left their nets and followed Him.
Mar 1:19 And having gone on a little from there, He saw Yaʽakovthe son of Zaḇdai, and Yocḥanan his brother, and they were in the boat mending their nets.
Mar 1:20 And immediately He called them, and leaving their father Zaḇdai in the boat with the hired servants, they went after Him.
Mar 1:21 And they went into Kephar Naḥum, and immediately on the Shabbat He went into the congregation and taught.
Mar 1:22 And they were astonished at His teaching, for He was teaching them as possessing authority, and not as the scribes.
Mar 1:23 And there was a man in their congregation with an unclean spirit, and he cried out,
Mar 1:24 saying, “Ha! What have we to do with You, יהושע of Natsareth? Did You come to destroy us? I know who You are: the Kadosh One of Elohim!”
Mar 1:25 And יהושע rebuked him, saying, “Be silenced, and come out of him!”
Mar 1:26 And throwing him into convulsions, the unclean spirit called out with a loud voice, and came out of him.
Mar 1:27 And they were all so amazed, as to reason among themselves, saying, “What is this, a fresh teaching? With authority He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey Him!”
Mar 1:28 And news about Him immediately spread into all the country around Galil.
Mar 1:29 And coming out of the congregation, they went straight to the house of Shimʽon and Andri, with Yaʽakov and Yocḥanan.
Mar 1:30 And the mother-in-law of Shimʽon lay sick with inflammation, and immediately they spoke to Him about her.
Mar 1:31 And having come, He took her by the hand and lifted her up, and immediately the inflammation left her, and she served them.
Mar 1:32 And when evening came, when the sun had set, they brought to Him all who were sick and those who were demon-possessed.
Mar 1:33 And the entire city had gathered at the door.
Mar 1:34 And He healed many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons, and was not allowing the demons to speak, because they knew Him.
Mar 1:35 And having risen very early in the morning, while still dark, He went out, and went away to a lonely place, and there He prayed.
Mar 1:36 And Shimʽon and those who were with Him searched for Him,
Mar 1:37 and when they found Him, they said to Him, “All are seeking You.”
Mar 1:38 And He said to them, “Let us go into the neighboring towns, so that I proclaim there also, because for this I have come forth.”
Mar 1:39 And He was proclaiming in their congregations, in all Galil, and casting out demons.
Mar 1:40 And a leper came to Him, calling upon Him, kneeling down to Him and saying to Him, “If You desire, You are able to make me clean.”
Mar 1:41 And יהושע, moved with compassion, stretched out His hand and touched him, and said to him, “I desire it. Be cleansed.”
Mar 1:42 And immediately the leprosy left him, and he was cleansed.
Mar 1:43 And having strictly warned him, He immediately sent him away,
Mar 1:44 and said to him, “See, say none at all to anyone, but go show yourself to the kohen, and offer for your cleansing what Mosheh ordered, as a witness to them.”
Mar 1:45 But he went out and began to publish it so much, and to spread the word, that יהושע was no longer able to openly enter the city, but was outside in lonely places. Yet they came to Him from all directions.
Mar 2:1 And some days later He again entered into Kephar Naḥum, and it was heard that He was in the house.
Mar 2:2 And so many gathered together, that there was no more room, not even at the door. And He spoke the Word to them.
Mar 2:3 And they came to Him, bringing a paralytic, carried by four.
Mar 2:4 And not being able to come near Him because of the crowd, they uncovered the roof where He was. And when they had broken through, they let down the bed on which the paralytic was lying.
Mar 2:5 And when יהושע saw their belief, He said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven you.”
Mar 2:6 Now some of the scribes were sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,
Mar 2:7 “Why does this One talk like this? He is blaspheming! Who is able to forgive sins but Elohim alone?”
Mar 2:8 And immediately יהושע, knowing in His spirit that they were reasoning that way within themselves, said to them, “Why do you reason about all this in your hearts?
Mar 2:9 “Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Rise, take up your bed and walk’?
Mar 2:10 “But in order for you to know that the Son of Aḏam possesses authority on earth to forgive sins...” He said to the paralytic,
Mar 2:11 “I say to you, rise, take up your bed, and go to your house.”
Mar 2:12 And he rose straightaway, and took up the bed, and went out before all, so that all were amazed and praised Elohim, saying, “We have never seen the like of it!”
Mar 2:13 And He went out again by the sea, and all the crowd was coming to Him, and He taught them.
Mar 2:14 And passing by, He saw Lĕwi the son of Alphai sitting at the tax office, and said to him, “Follow Me.” And having risen he followed Him.
Mar 2:15 And it came to be, as He sat at the table at his house, that many tax collectors and sinners also sat with יהושע and His talmidim, for there were many, and they followed Him.
Mar 2:16 And when the scribes and Pharisees saw Him eating with the tax collectors and sinners, they said to His talmidim, “Why does He eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”
Mar 2:17 And hearing this, יהושע said to them, “Those who are healthy have no need of a healer, but those who are sick. I did not come to call the righteous to repentance, but sinners.”
Mar 2:18 And the talmidim of Yocḥanan and of the Pharisees were fasting. And they came and said to Him, “Why do the talmidim of Yocḥanan and of the Pharisees fast, but Your talmidim do not fast?”
Mar 2:19 And יהושע said to them, “Are the friends of the bridegroom able to fast while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them they are not able to fast.
Mar 2:20 “But the days shall come when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then they shall fast in those days.
Mar 2:21 “And no one sews a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, otherwise the renewed piece pulls away from the old, and the tear is made worse.
Mar 2:22 “And no one puts new wine into old wineskins, otherwise the new wine bursts the wineskins, and the wine runs out, and the wineskins are ruined. But new wine is to be put into fresh wineskins.”
Mar 2:23 And it came to be that He went through the grainfields on the Shabbat. And as they went His talmidim began to pluck heads of grain,
Mar 2:24 and the Pharisees said to Him, “Look, why do they do what is not right on the Shabbat?”
Mar 2:25 And He said to them, “Have you never read what Dawiḏ did when he had need and was hungry, he and those with him?
Mar 2:26 “How he went into the House of Elohim, while Eḇyathar was Kohen Gadol, and ate the showbread, which is not right to eat, except for the kohanim, and he gave it also to those who were with him?”
Mar 2:27 And He said to them, “The Shabbat was made for man, and not man for the Shabbat.
Mar 2:28 “So the Son of Aḏam is also Master of the Shabbat.”
