5The whole Judean countryside was going out to him, and so were the people of Jerusalem. They were all being baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.[#1:5 the people of Jerusalem. They were all ¦ all the people of Jerusalem. They were CT]
6Now John was clothed with camel's hair and wore a leather belt around his waist; he ate locusts and wild honey.
7He proclaimed, “After me comes one who is mightier than I, the strap 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.”
9In those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan.
10Immediately as he was coming up from the water, he saw the heavens being split apart and the Spirit descending on him like a dove.[#1:10 from ¦ out of CT]
11Then a voice came from heaven: “Yoʋ are my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”[#1:11 Son, in whom ¦ Son; in yoʋ ANT CT]
12Immediately the Spirit drove him out into the wilderness,
13and he was there in the wilderness for forty days, being tempted by Satan. He was with the wild beasts, and the angels ministered to him.[#1:13 there ¦ --- CT]
14After John was put in prison, Jesus went to Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God[#1:14 of the kingdom 95.5% ¦ --- CT 2.1%]
15and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has drawn near. Repent and believe in the gospel.”
16As Jesus was walking by the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother (that is, Simon's brother) casting a net in the sea, for they were fishermen.[#1:16 walking by ¦ passing along CT; #1:16 his brother (that is, Simon's brother) ¦ his brother TR ¦ the brother of Simon CT]
17Jesus said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you become fishers of men.”
18So they immediately left their nets and followed him.
19Going on a little farther from there, he saw James the son of Zebedee and John his brother as they were in the boat mending their nets.[#1:19 from there ¦ --- CT]
20Immediately he called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men and followed him.
21They went to Capernaum, and immediately on the Sabbath Jesus went into the synagogue and began teaching.[#1:21 went into 97.7% ¦ --- SBL 1%; #1:21 the synagogue and began teaching 97.7% ¦ began teaching in the synagogue SBL 0.9%]
22The people were astonished at his teaching, because he was teaching them as one who had authority, and not as the scribes.
23Now in their synagogue there was a man who was possessed by an unclean spirit. He cried out,[#1:23 Now ¦ Immediately CT]
24“Leave us alone! What do yoʋ have to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have yoʋ come to destroy us? I know who yoʋ are—the Holy One of God.”[#1:24 Leave us alone! ¦ --- ECM* NA SBL TH WH]
25But Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be silent, and come out of him!”
26So the unclean spirit convulsed the man and came out of him, crying out with a loud voice.
27All the people were amazed so that they questioned among themselves, saying, “What is this? What new teaching is this that with authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him?”[#1:27 among themselves 76.4% {TR 2%} ¦ it WH 0.2%; #1:27 What new teaching is this that with authority he … him? ¦ A new teaching with authority; he … him.

28And the news about him immediately spread throughout all the surrounding region of Galilee.[#1:28 spread ¦ spread everywhere ECM* NA SBL TH WH]
29After leaving the synagogue, they immediately went to the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
30Now Simon's mother-in-law lay sick with a fever, and they immediately told Jesus about her.
31So he went over to her and raised her up, taking hold of her hand. Immediately the fever left her, and she began to serve them.[#1:31 Immediately the ¦ The CT]
32When evening came, after the sun had set, they brought to Jesus all who were sick and those who were possessed by demons.
33The whole city was gathered together at the door,
34and he healed many who were sick with various diseases. He also cast out many demons, but he would not allow the demons to speak, because they knew who he was.[#1:34 who he was 57.6% ¦ that he was the Christ ANT BYZ PCK WH 28.6%]
35Early the next morning, while it was still very dark, Jesus rose and departed. He went off to a desolate place and prayed there.
36Simon and his companions searched diligently for him,
37and when they found him, they said to him, “Everyone is looking for yoʋ.”
38Jesus said to them, “Let us go into the neighboring towns so that I may preach there also, for that is why I have come.”[#1:38 go ¦ go elsewhere ECM* NA SBL TH WH]
39So he was preaching in their synagogues in all of Galilee and casting out demons.[#1:39 was preaching in their synagogues in all of Galilee 99.4% ¦ went into all of Galilee, preaching in their synagogues CT 0.5%]
40Then a leper came up and knelt before him, begging him, “If yoʋ are willing, yoʋ can make me clean.”[#1:40 knelt before him, begging him 85.9% ¦ begged him on his knees CT 6.1%]
41Moved with compassion, Jesus stretched out his hand, touched the man, and said to him, “I am willing; be made clean.”[#1:41 Moved with compassion 99.5% ¦ Becoming angry SBL 0.1%]
42When he said this, the leprosy immediately departed from the man, and he was made clean.[#1:42 When he said this, the 95.8% ¦ The CT 2.3%]
43Then Jesus sternly warned him and immediately sent him away,
44saying to him, “See that yoʋ say nothing to anyone, but go show yoʋrself to the priest and offer for yoʋr cleansing what Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”
45But the man went out and began to proclaim it widely and to spread the news, so that Jesus could no longer openly enter a town, but was out in desolate places. Yet people were coming to him from everywhere.
