5. And 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.

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

7. Et praedicabat dicens: “Venit fortior me post me, cuius non sum dignus procumbens solvere corrigiam calceamentorum eius.

7. And 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.

8. Ego baptizavi vos aqua; ille vero baptizabit vos in Spiritu Sancto”.

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

10. Et statim ascendens de aqua vidit apertos caelos et Spiritum tamquam columbam descendentem in ipsum;

10. And when he came up out of the water, immediately he saw the heavens opened and the Spirit descending upon him like a dove;

11. et vox facta est de caelis: “Tu es Filius meus dilectus; in te complacui”.

11. and a voice came from heaven, "Thou art my beloved Son; with thee I am well pleased."

12. Et statim Spiritus expellit eum in desertum.

12. The Spirit immediately drove him out into the wilderness.

13. Et erat in deserto quadraginta diebus et tentabatur a Satana; eratque cum bestiis, et angeli ministrabant illi.

13. And he was in the wilderness forty days, tempted by Satan; and he was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered to him.

14. Postquam autem traditus est Ioannes, venit Iesus in Galilaeam praedicans evangelium Dei

14. Now after John was arrested, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God,

15. et dicens: “Impletum est tempus, et appropinquavit regnum Dei; paenitemini et credite evangelio”.

15. and saying, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent, and believe in the gospel."

16. Et praeteriens secus mare Galilaeae vidit Simonem et Andream fratrem Simonis mittentes in mare; erant enim piscatores.

16. And passing along by the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew the brother of Simon casting a net in the sea; for they were fishermen.

17. Et dixit eis Iesus: “Venite post me, et faciam vos fieri piscatores hominum”.

17. And Jesus said to them, "Follow me and I will make you become fishers of men."

18. Et protinus, relictis retibus, secuti sunt eum.

18. And immediately they left their nets and followed him.

19. Et progressus pusillum vidit Iacobum Zebedaei et Ioannem fratrem eius, et ipsos in navi componentes retia,

19. And going on a little farther, he saw James the son of Zeb'edee and John his brother, who were in their boat mending the nets.

20. et statim vocavit illos. Et, relicto patre suo Zebedaeo in navi cum mercennariis, abierunt post eum.

20. And immediately he called them; and they left their father Zeb'edee in the boat with the hired servants, and followed him.

21. Et ingrediuntur Capharnaum. Et statim sabbatis ingressus synagogam docebat.

21. And they went into Caper'na-um; and immediately on the sabbath he entered the synagogue and taught.

22. Et stupebant super doctrina eius: erat enim docens eos quasi potestatem habens et non sicut scribae.

22. And they were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as one who had authority, and not as the scribes.

23. Et statim erat in synagoga eorum homo in spiritu immundo; et exclamavit

23. And immediately there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit;

24. dicens: “Quid nobis et tibi, Iesu Nazarene? Venisti perdere nos? Scio qui sis: Sanctus Dei”.

24. and he cried out, "What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are, the Holy One of God."

25. Et comminatus est ei Iesus dicens: “Obmutesce et exi de homine!”.

25. But Jesus rebuked him, saying, "Be silent, and come out of him!"

26. Et discerpens eum spiritus immundus et exclamans voce magna exivit ab eo.

26. And the unclean spirit, convulsing him and crying with a loud voice, came out of him.

27. Et mirati sunt omnes, ita ut conquirerent inter se dicentes: “Quidnam est hoc? Doctrina nova cum potestate; et spiritibus immundis imperat, et oboediunt ei”.

27. And they were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, "What is this? A new teaching! With authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him."

28. Et processit rumor eius statim ubique in omnem regionem Galilaeae.

28. And at once his fame spread everywhere throughout all the surrounding region of Galilee.

29. Et protinus egredientes de synagoga venerunt in domum Simonis et Andreae cum Iacobo et Ioanne.

29. And immediately he left the synagogue, and entered the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.

30. Socrus autem Simonis decumbebat febricitans; et statim dicunt ei de illa.

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

31. Et accedens elevavit eam apprehensa manu; et dimisit eam febris, et ministrabat eis.

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

32. Vespere autem facto, cum occidisset sol, afferebant ad eum omnes male habentes et daemonia habentes;

32. That evening, at sundown, they brought to him all who were sick or possessed with demons.

33. et erat omnis civitas congregata ad ianuam.

33. And the whole city was gathered together about the door.

34. Et curavit multos, qui vexabantur variis languoribus, et daemonia multa eiecit et non sinebat loqui daemonia, quoniam sciebant eum.

34. And he healed many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons; and he would not permit the demons to speak, because they knew him.

35. Et diluculo valde mane surgens egressus est et abiit in desertum locum ibique orabat.

35. And in the morning, a great while before day, he rose and went out to a lonely place, and there he prayed.

36. Et persecutus est eum Simon et qui cum illo erant;

36. And Simon and those who were with him pursued him,

37. et cum invenissent eum, dixerunt ei: “Omnes quaerunt te!”.

37. and they found him and said to him, "Every one is searching for you."

38. Et ait illis: “Eamus alibi in proximos vicos, ut et ibi praedicem: ad hoc enim veni”.

38. And he said to them, "Let us go on to the next towns, that I may preach there also; for that is why I came out."

39. Et venit praedicans in synagogis eorum per omnem Galilaeam et daemonia eiciens.

39. And he went throughout all Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and casting out demons.

40. Et venit ad eum leprosus deprecans eum et genu flectens et dicens ei: “Si vis, potes me mundare”.

40. And a leper came to him beseeching him, and kneeling said to him, "If you will, you can make me clean."

41. Et misertus extendens manum suam tetigit eum et ait illi: “Volo, mundare!”;

41. Moved with pity, he stretched out his hand and touched him, and said to him, "I will; be clean."

42. et statim discessit ab eo lepra, et mundatus est.

42. And immediately the leprosy left him, and he was made clean.

43. Et infremuit in eum statimque eiecit illum

43. And he sternly charged him, and sent him away at once,

44. et dicit ei: “Vide, nemini quidquam dixeris; sed vade, ostende te sacerdoti et offer pro emundatione tua, quae praecepit Moyses, in testimonium illis”.

44. and said to him, "See that you say nothing to any one; but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing what Moses commanded, for a proof to the people."

45. At ille egressus coepit praedicare multum et diffamare sermonem, ita ut iam non posset manifesto in civitatem introire, sed foris in desertis locis erat; et conveniebant ad eum undique.

45. But 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.
