Mark 1 - Revised Standard Version(RSVCI)

1The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

2

“Behold, I send my messenger before thy face,

who shall prepare thy way;

3 in the wilderness, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.

5And there went out to him all the country of Judea, and all the people of Jerusalem; and they were baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.

6Now John was clothed with camel's hair, and had a leather girdle around his waist, and ate locusts and wild honey.

7And he preached, saying, “After me comes he who is mightier than I, the thong of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie.

8I have baptized you with water; but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.”

9 with thee I am well pleased.”

12 left the synagogue, and entered the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.

30Now Simon's mother-in-law lay sick with a fever, and immediately they told him of her.

31And he came and took her by the hand and lifted her up, and the fever left her; and she served them.

32

45But he went out and began to talk freely about it, and to spread the news, so that Jesus could no longer openly enter a town, but was out in the country; and people came to him from every quarter.
