     1:7 And he preached, saying, There is one coming after me, the mightier one than I. I am not sufficient, having stooped down, to loose the strap of his shoes. 1:8 I indeed immersed* you* in water, but he will immerse* you* in the Holy Spirit.

And they left their father Zebedee with the hired-servants in the ship and went after him.




     {Mar 1:21-28 & Luk 4:31-37 Capernaum.}



     1:21 And they travel into Capernaum, and immediately on the Sabbath he entered into the synagogue and was teaching. 1:22 And they were being astounded at his teaching; for* he was teaching them like one having authority and not like the scribes.



     1:23 And a man was in their synagogue in him was an unclean spirit, and he cried out, 1:24saying, Ah! What is this thing with us and with you, Jesus the Nazarene? Did you come to destroy us? I know you, I know who you are, the Holy One of God.



     1:25 And Jesus rebuked it, saying, Hush and come out of him.



     1:26 And the unclean spirit came out of him, having convulsed him and having cried out with a loud voice. 1:27 And they were all amazed, so-then they began to debate together with themselves, saying, What is this thing? What new teaching is this that he commands even the unclean spirits with authority, and they are obeying* him?

     1:32 Now after it became evening, when the sun set, they were bringing to him all who have an ill and those who were demon-possessed. 1:33 And the whole city was being gathered togethernext to the door. 1:34 And he healed many who have an ill with various diseases, and cast out many demons, and he was not allowing the demons to speak, because they knew him.

     1:35 And exceedingly early, having risen* up in the morning, while yet at night, he came out and went away into a desolate place, and he was praying there. 1:36 And Simon, and those who were with him, pursued him; 1:37 and having found him, they say to him, All are seeking you.




     1:38 And he says to them, We should be proceeding into the next towns, in order that I might also preach there; for* I have come *for this purpose.1:39 And he was preaching and casting out demons in their synagogues in the whole of Galilee.

     1:41 Now Jesus, having compassion on him, stretched out his hand, touched him and says to him, I am willing. Be cleansed. 1:42 And having said that, the leprosy immediately went away from him and he was cleansed. 1:43 And he scolded him and immediately put him out, 1:44 and says to him, See that you say nothing to anyone, but proceed away; show yourself to the priest, and offer the things which Moses commanded concerning your cleansing *for a testimony to them.{Lev 13:49, 14:2-4}1:45 But he went out and began to preach it much, and to broadcast the word, so-then he {i.e. Jesus} was no longer able to openly enter into the city, but was outside in desolate places, and they were coming to him from everywhere.
