1 The beginning of the gospel of I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) Christ, the Son of God.
2
As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send My messenger before Your face,
who will prepare Your way before You.
3
The voice of one crying in the wilderness: Prepare the way of the Lord, make His
paths straight.
4
I AM is a Gracious Giver (John) baptized in the wilderness and preached the
baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.
5
People came to him from all over the land of Land of Praise (Judaea), and from Rain
of Peace (Jerusalem), and were all baptized by him in the river, The Descender
(Jordan), confessing their sins.
6
I AM is a Gracious Giver (John) was clothed with camel hair and a girdle of skin
about his loins. He ate locusts and wild honey
7
And preached, saying: There comes one mightier than I after me, the latchet of
whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose.
8
I have baptized you with water: but He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.
9
It came to pass in those days, that I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) came from The
Guarded One (Nazareth) of Circuit-District (Galilee) and was baptized by I AM
is a Gracious Giver (John) in The Descender (Jordan).
10
As He came up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like
a dove descending on Him:
11
And there came a voice from heaven, saying: You are my beloved Son, in whom I
am well pleased.
12
Immediately the Spirit drove Him into the wilderness.
13
He was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted by Satan. He was with the
wild beasts and the angels ministered to Him.
14
Now after that I AM is a Gracious Giver (John) was put in prison, I AM is Our
Salvation (Yeshua) traveled around Circuit-District (Galilee), preaching the
gospel of the Kingdom of God,
15
Saying: The time is fulfilled, and the Kingdom of God is at hand: repent and
believe the gospel.
16
Now as he walked by the sea of Circuit-District (Galilee), he saw Heard (Simon)
and Manly (Andrew) his brother casting a net into the sea: for they were fishermen.
17
I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) said to them: Come, follow Me, and I will make
you fishers of men.
18
Right away they forsook their nets and followed Him.
19
When He had gone a little further, He saw Supplanter (James) the son of My Gift
(Zebedee), and I AM is a Gracious Giver (John) his brother, who also were in
the ship mending their nets.
20
Right away He called them: and they left their father My Gift (Zebedee) in the
ship with the hired servants and went after Him.
21
They went to Village of Comfort (Capernaum). Immediately on the sabbath day He
entered the synagogue and taught.
22
They were astonished at His doctrine: He taught them as one who had authority,
not as the scribes.
23
There was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit, and he cried out:
24
Let us alone; what have we to do with You, I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) of The
Guarded One (Nazareth)? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are, the
Holy One of God.
25
I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) rebuked him: Hold your 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
They were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying:
What thing is this? what new doctrine is this? He even commands the unclean
spirits with authority, and they obey Him.
28
Immediately His fame spread throughout all the region around Circuit-District
(Galilee).
29
Then, when they came out of the synagogue, they entered the house of Heard
(Simon) and Manly (Andrew), with Supplanter (James) and I AM is a Gracious
Giver (John).
30
Now Heard's (Simon) wife's mother lay sick with a fever, and they told Him
about her immediately.
31
He came and took her by the hand and lifted her up, and immediately the fever
left her, and she ministered to them.
32
In the evening, when the sun set, they brought to Him all that were diseased
and those that were possessed with devils.
33
All the city gathered at the door.
34
He healed many who were sick with diverse diseases and cast out many devils;
and did not permit the devils to speak because they knew Him.
35
In the morning, rising a great while before day, He went out to a solitary
place, and there prayed.
36
Heard (Simon) and those who were with Him followed Him.
37
When they found Him, they said to Him: Everyone is looking for You.
38
He said to them: Let’s go into the next towns, that I may preach there also. This
is why I came.
39
He preached in the synagogues throughout all Circuit-District (Galilee) and
cast out devils.
40
A leper came to Him, begging and kneeling before Him, saying to Him, If You will,
You can make me clean.
41
I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua), moved with compassion, put forth His hand, and
touched him, saying to him: I will; be clean.
42
As soon as He had spoken, the leprosy left him, and he was cleansed.
43
Then He sternly charged him, and sent him away;
44
Saying to him: See that you say nothing to any man: but go your way, show yourself
to the priest, and offer for your cleansing those things which Moses commanded,
as a testimony to them.
45
But he went out, and began to publish it much, and to blaze abroad the matter,
insomuch that I AM is Our Salvation (Yeshua) could no more openly enter a city
but was out in desert places: and they came to Him from every quarter.
