As Jesus
was
walking
beside
the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and his brother Andrew.
They
were
casting a net into the sea ,
for they were fishermen
.
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
.
“Come,
follow
Me,”
Jesus said, “
and I will make you fishers of men. ”
And
Jesus said unto
them
, Come
ye
after
me,
and I will make you to
become
fishers of men.
And at
once
they left
their nets and followed Him.
And straightway
they forsook
their nets ,
and followed him.
Going
on
a little farther, He saw James son of Zebedee and his brother John.
They
were in a
boat,
mending their nets.
And
when
he
had
gone
a little farther thence
, he saw James the
son of Zebedee ,
and John
his brother ,
who
also
were in the
ship
mending their nets.
Immediately
Jesus
called them ,
and they left their father Zebedee in the boat
with the hired men
and followed
Him.
And
straightway
he
called them :
and they left their father Zebedee in the ship
with the hired servants,
and went
after
him.
Then
Jesus
and His
companions
went to
Capernaum ,
and right
away
Jesus
entered
the
synagogue
on the Sabbath and began
to
teach
.
And they
went into
Capernaum ;
and straightway
on the sabbath day
he
entered
into
the
synagogue,
and taught
.
The
people
were astonished at His teaching,
because
He taught as one who
had authority, and not as the scribes.
And
they
were astonished at his doctrine:
for
he taught them
as one that
had authority, and not as the scribes.
Suddenly
a man with an unclean spirit cried out in
the
synagogue:
And
there
was
in
their
synagogue
a man with an unclean spirit ;
and
he
cried out ,
“
What do You
want
with us
, Jesus of Nazareth? Have
You
come to destroy us? I know who You
are—
the Holy One of God !”
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 .
But
Jesus rebuked the
spirit.
“Be
silent!”
He
said.
“
Come out of him !”
And
Jesus rebuked him,
saying,
Hold
thy
peace,
and
come out of him .
At
this,
the unclean spirit threw
the
man
into
convulsions
and came
out
with a loud shriek
.
And
when
the unclean spirit had
torn
him,
and cried
with a loud voice,
he
came
out
of
him
.
All
the
people
were amazed and
began
to
ask
one
another
, “
What is this? A
new teaching
with authority !
He commands
even the unclean spirits, and they obey Him !”
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 .
And the
news
about
Jesus
spread quickly
through
the whole
region of
Galilee.
And immediately
his
fame
spread abroad
throughout
all
the region round
about
Galilee.
As
soon
as
Jesus
and His
companions
had
left
the synagogue, they went
with
James
and
John
to
the home
of Simon and Andrew.
And forthwith,
when
they
were
come
out
of
the synagogue, they entered
into
the house
of Simon and Andrew ,
with
James
and
John
.
Simon’s
mother -in-law
was
sick in
bed
with
a fever, and they promptly
told
Jesus
about
her.
But
Simon's
wife's
mother lay
sick of
a fever, and anon
they tell
him
of
her.
So
He went
to
her,
took her by the hand, and helped
her up .
The fever left her, and she began
to
serve
them.
And
he came
and
took her by the hand, and lifted
her up ;
and
immediately
the fever left her, and she ministered
unto
them.
That
evening
, after
sunset
, people
brought to
Jesus
all who
were sick
and demon-
possessed ,
And
at
even
, when
the
sun
did
set
, they
brought unto
him
all that
were diseased,
and them
that
were
possessed with
devils.
and the whole
town
gathered at the door.
And all
the city
was
gathered together
at the door.
And He healed many who
were ill
with
various
diseases and drove
out many demons.
But
He
would
not allow
the demons
to speak, because they knew who
He
was
.
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
.
Early
in the morning, while it
was
still
dark
, Jesus
got
up
and
slipped
out to
a solitary place to
pray
.
And
in the morning, rising
up
a
great
while before
day
, he
went
out ,
and
departed
into
a solitary place ,
and
there
prayed
.
Simon and his
companions
went
to
look
for
Him ,
And
Simon and they
that
were
with
him followed
after
him.
and when they found Him, they said, “Everyone
is
looking
for You!”
And when they had
found him, they said unto
him
, All
men
seek
for thee.
But
Jesus
answered
, “
Let us go on
to
the neighboring
towns so
I can
preach there as
well,
for that
is
why
I have
come
. ”
And
he
said
unto
them
, Let us go into
the next
towns ,
that
I may
preach there also:
for therefore
came
I forth
.
So
He went
throughout
Galilee,
preaching
in their synagogues and driving
out demons
.
And
he preached
in their synagogues throughout
all
Galilee,
and cast
out devils
.
Then
a leper came
to Jesus
, begging
on
his
knees:
“
If You
are
willing
, You
can
make me clean. ”
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.
Moved with compassion, Jesus
reached
out
His hand and touched the
man.
“I
am
willing
, ”
He
said.
“
Be clean !”
And
Jesus,
moved with compassion, put
forth
his hand ,
and touched him
, and
saith
unto
him,
I
will;
be thou
clean .
And immediately the leprosy left
him, and the
man
was cleansed.
And as
soon
as
he
had
spoken,
immediately the leprosy departed
from
him, and he
was cleansed.
Jesus
promptly
sent him away with
a
stern
warning:
And
he
straitly
charged
him,
and
forthwith
sent him away ;
“
See that
you
don’t
tell
anyone.
But go, show
yourself
to the priest and present
the
offering
Moses
prescribed
for your
cleansing, as
a testimony to
them. ”
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.
But the
man
went out and openly
began to proclaim
and spread
the news.
Consequently
, Jesus could no longer
enter a
town
in
plain
view
, but He
stayed
out
in solitary
places .
Yet
people
came to Him from every quarter.
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.
