1 A beginning of the good news of Jesus Christ, Son of God.
1 PRINCIPIO del evangelio de Jesucristo, Hijo de Dios.
2 As it has been written in the Prophets: “Behold, I send My messenger before Your face, || Who will prepare Your way before You.
2 Como está escrito en Isaías el profeta: He aquí yo envío á mi mensajero delante de tu faz, que apareje tu camino delante de ti.
3 A voice of one calling in the wilderness: Prepare the way of the LORD, || Make His paths straight.”
3 Voz del que clama en el desierto: Aparejad el camino del Señor; enderezad sus veredas.
4 John came immersing in the wilderness, and proclaiming an immersion of conversion for forgiveness of sins,
4 Bautizaba Juan en el desierto, y predicaba el bautismo del arrepentimiento para remisión de pecados.
5 and there were going forth to him all the region of Judea, and they of Jerusalem, and they were all immersed by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.
5 Y salía á él toda la provincia de Judea, y los de Jerusalem; y eran todos bautizados por él en el río de Jordán, confesando sus pecados.
6 And John was clothed with camel’s hair, and a girdle of skin around his loins, and eating locusts and honey of the field,
6 Y Juan andaba vestido de pelos de camello, y con un cinto de cuero alrededor de sus lomos; y comía langostas y miel silvestre.
7 and he proclaimed, saying, “He comes—who is mightier than I—after me, of whom I am not worthy—having stooped down—to loose the strap of His sandals;
7 Y predicaba, diciendo: Viene tras mí el que es más poderoso que yo, al cual no soy digno de desatar encorvado la correa de sus zapatos.
8 I indeed immersed you in water, but He will immerse you in the Holy Spirit.”
8 Yo á la verdad os he bautizado con agua; mas él os bautizará con Espíritu Santo.
9 And it came to pass in those days, Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was immersed by John in the Jordan;
9 Y aconteció en aquellos días, que Jesús vino de Nazaret de Galilea, y fué bautizado por Juan en el Jordán.
10 and immediately coming up from the water, He saw the heavens dividing, and the Spirit coming down on Him as a dove;
10 Y luego, subiendo del agua, vió abrirse los cielos, y al Espíritu como paloma, que descendía sobre él.
11 and a voice came out of the heavens, “You are My Son, the Beloved, in whom I delighted.”
11 Y hubo [una] voz de los cielos [que decía]: Tú eres mi Hijo amado; en ti tomo contentamiento.
12 And immediately the Spirit puts Him forth into the wilderness,
12 Y luego el Espíritu le impele al desierto.
13 and He was there in the wilderness forty days, being tempted by Satan, and He was with the beasts, and the messengers were ministering to Him.
13 Y estuvo allí en el desierto cuarenta días, y era tentado de Satanás; y estaba con las fieras; y los ángeles le servían.
14 And after the delivering up of John, Jesus came to Galilee, proclaiming the good news of the Kingdom of God,
14 Mas después que Juan fué encarcelado, Jesús vino á Galilea predicando el evangelio del reino de Dios,
15 and saying, “The time has been fulfilled, and the Kingdom of God has come near, convert and believe in the good news.”
15 Y diciendo: El tiempo es cumplido, y el reino de Dios está cerca: arrepentíos, y creed al evangelio.
16 And walking by the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon, and his brother Andrew, casting a drag into the sea, for they were fishers,
16 Y pasando junto á la mar de Galilea, vió á Simón, y á Andrés su hermano, que echaban la red en la mar; porque eran pescadores.
17 and Jesus said to them, “Come after Me, and I will make you to become fishers of men”;
17 Y les dijo Jesús: Venid en pos de mí, y haré que seáis pescadores de hombres.
18 and immediately, having left their nets, they followed Him.
18 Y luego, dejadas sus redes, le siguieron.
19 And having gone on there a little, He saw James of Zebedee, and his brother John, and they were in the boat refitting the nets,
19 Y pasando de allí un poco más adelante, vió á Jacobo, [hijo] de Zebedeo, y á Juan su hermano, también ellos en el navío, que aderezaban las redes.
20 and immediately He called them, and having left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, they went away after Him.
20 Y luego los llamó: y dejando á su padre Zebedeo en el barco con los jornaleros, fueron en pos de él.
21 And they go on to Capernaum, and immediately, on the Sabbaths, having gone into the synagogue, He was teaching,
21 Y entraron en Capernaum; y luego los sábados, entrando en la sinagoga, enseñaba.
22 and they were astonished at His teaching, for He was teaching them as having authority, and not as the scribes.
22 Y se admiraban de su doctrina; porque les enseñaba como quien tiene potestad, y no como los escribas.
23 And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit, and he cried out,
23 Y había en la sinagoga de ellos un hombre con espíritu inmundo, el cual dió voces,
24 saying, “What [regards] us and You, Jesus the Nazarene? You came to destroy us; I have known You, who You are—the Holy One of God.”
24 Diciendo: ¡Ah! ¿qué tienes con nosotros, Jesús Nazareno? ¿Has venido á destruirnos? Sé quién eres, el Santo de Dios.
25 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be silenced, and come forth out of him,”
25 Y Jesús le riñó, diciendo: Enmudece, y sal de él.
26 and the unclean spirit having convulsed him, and having cried with a great voice, came forth out of him,
26 Y el espíritu inmundo, haciéndole pedazos, y clamando á gran voz, salió de él.
27 and they were all amazed, so as to reason among themselves, saying, “What is this? What new teaching [is] this? That with authority He also commands the unclean spirits, and they obey Him!”
27 Y todos se maravillaron, de tal manera que inquirían entre sí, diciendo: ¿Qué es esto? ¿Qué nueva doctrina es ésta, que con potestad aun á los espíritus inmundos manda, y le obedecen?
28 And the fame of Him went forth immediately to all the region of Galilee.
28 Y vino luego su fama por toda la provincia alrededor de Galilea.
29 And immediately, having come forth out of the synagogue, they went into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John,
29 Y luego saliendo de la sinagoga, vinieron á casa de Simón y de Andrés, con Jacobo y Juan.
30 and the mother-in-law of Simon was lying fevered, and immediately they tell Him about her,
30 Y la suegra de Simón estaba acostada con calentura; y le hablaron luego de ella.
31 and having come near, He raised her up, having laid hold of her hand, and the fever left her immediately, and she was ministering to them.
31 Entonces llegando él, la tomó de su mano y la levantó; y luego la dejó la calentura, y les servía.
32 And evening having come, when the sun set, they brought to Him all who were ill and who were demoniacs,
32 Y cuando fué la tarde, luego que el sol se puso, traían á él todos los que tenían mal, y endemoniados;
33 and the whole city was gathered together near the door,
33 Y toda la ciudad se juntó á la puerta.
34 and He healed many who were ill of manifold diseases, and He cast forth many demons, and was not permitting the demons to speak, because they knew Him.
34 Y sanó á muchos que estaban enfermos de diversas enfermedades, y echó fuera muchos demonios; y no dejaba decir á los demonios que le conocían.
35 And very early, it being yet night, having risen, He went forth, and went away to a desolate place, and was praying there;
35 Y levantándose muy de mañana, aun muy de noche, salió y se fué á un lugar desierto, y allí oraba.
36 and Simon and those with him went in quest of Him,
36 Y le siguió Simón, y los que estaban con él;
37 and having found Him, they say to Him, “All seek You”;
37 Y hallándole, le dicen: Todos te buscan.
38 and He says to them, “We may go into the next towns, that there also I may preach, for—for this I came forth.”
38 Y les dice: Vamos á los lugares vecinos, para que predique también allí; porque para esto he venido.
39 And He was preaching in their synagogues, in all Galilee, and is casting out the demons,
39 Y predicaba en las sinagogas de ellos en toda Galilea, y echaba fuera los demonios.
40 and there comes to Him a leper, calling on Him, and kneeling to Him, and saying to Him, “If You may will, You are able to cleanse me.”
40 Y un leproso vino á él, rogándole; é hincada la rodilla, le dice: Si quieres, puedes limpiarme.
41 And Jesus having been moved with compassion, having stretched forth the hand, touched him and says to him, “I will, be cleansed”;
41 Y Jesús, teniendo misericordia de él, extendió su mano, y le tocó, y le dice: Quiero, sé limpio.
42 and He having spoken, immediately the leprosy went away from him, and he was cleansed.
42 Y así que hubo él hablado, la lepra se fué luego de aquél, y fué limpio.
43 And having sternly charged him, immediately He put him forth,
43 Entonces le apercibió, y despidióle luego,
44 and says to him, “See [that] you may say nothing to anyone, but go away, show yourself to the priest, and bring near for your cleansing the things Moses directed, for a testimony to them.”
44 Y le dice: Mira, no digas á nadie nada; sino ve, muéstrate al sacerdote, y ofrece por tu limpieza lo que Moisés mandó, para testimonio á ellos.
45 And he, having gone forth, began to proclaim much, and to spread the thing abroad, so that He was no longer able to openly enter into the city, but He was outside in desolate places, and they were coming to Him from every quarter.
45 Mas él salido, comenzó á publicarlo mucho, y á divulgar el hecho, de manera que ya Jesús no podía entrar manifiestamente en la ciudad, sino que estaba fuera en los lugares desiertos; y venían á él de todas partes.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
… Mark, the interpreter and follower of Peter, does thus commence his Gospel narrative: "The beginning of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God; as it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send My messenger before Thy face, which shall prepare Thy way. The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, …
The devils themselves knew this manifestation of God so well, that they said to the Lord though clothed with the infirmity of flesh, "What have we to do with Thee, Jesus of Nazareth? Art Thou come to destroy us before the time?" From these words, it is clear that they had great knowledge, and no charity.

Having then found Him in the wilderness, and in a pathless wilderness (for that the wilderness was such, Mark hath declared, saying, that He "was with the wild beasts" ), behold with how much craft he draws near, and wickedness; and for what sort of opportunity he watches.

Wherefore Mark also says: "The beginning of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God; as it is written in the prophets."
