Notes on this text (2)
- The Old Testament is translated from the Hebrew, not from the Septuagint read in the Orthodox Church; there are no deuterocanonical books.
- Katharevousa (learned 19th-century Greek), as in the CrossWire module (text from theword.gr).
1 Αρχή του ευαγγελίου του Ιησού Χριστού, Υιού του Θεού.
1 The beginning of the Good News of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
2 Καθώς είναι γεγραμμένον εν τοις προφήταις· Ιδού, εγώ αποστέλλω τον άγγελόν μου προ προσώπου σου, όστις θέλει κατασκευάσει την οδόν σου έμπροσθέν σου·
2 As it is written in the prophets, “Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you:
3 Φωνή βοώντος εν τη ερήμω, ετοιμάσατε την οδόν του Κυρίου, ευθείας κάμετε τας τρίβους αυτού.
3 the voice of one crying in the wilderness, ‘Make ready the way of the Lord! Make his paths straight!’”
4 Ήτο ο Ιωάννης βαπτίζων εν τη ερήμω και κηρύττων βάπτισμα μετανοίας εις άφεσιν αμαρτιών.
4 John came baptizing in the wilderness and preaching the baptism of repentance for forgiveness of sins.
5 Και εξήρχοντο προς αυτόν όλος ο τόπος της Ιουδαίας και οι Ιεροσολυμίται, και εβαπτίζοντο πάντες εν τω Ιορδάνη ποταμώ υπ' αυτού, εξομολογούμενοι τας αμαρτίας αυτών.
5 All the country of Judea and all those of Jerusalem went out to him. They were baptized by him in the Jordan river, confessing their sins.
6 Ήτο δε ο Ιωάννης ενδεδυμένος τρίχας καμήλου και έχων ζώνην δερματίνην περί την οσφύν αυτού, και τρώγων ακρίδας και μέλι άγριον.
6 John was clothed with camel’s hair and a leather belt around his waist. He ate locusts and wild honey.
7 Και εκήρυττε, λέγων· Έρχεται ο ισχυρότερός μου οπίσω μου, του οποίου δεν είμαι άξιος σκύψας να λύσω το λωρίον των υποδημάτων αυτού.
7 He preached, saying, “After me comes he who is mightier than I, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and loosen.
8 Εγώ μεν σας εβάπτισα εν ύδατι, αυτός δε θέλει σας βαπτίσει εν Πνεύματι Αγίω.
8 I baptized you in water, but he will baptize you in the Holy Spirit.”
9 Και εν εκείναις ταις ημέραις ήλθεν ο Ιησούς από Ναζαρέτ της Γαλιλαίας και εβαπτίσθη υπό Ιωάννου εις τον Ιορδάνην.
9 In those days, Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John in the Jordan.
10 Και ευθύς ενώ ανέβαινεν από του ύδατος, είδε τους ουρανούς σχιζομένους και το Πνεύμα καταβαίνον ως περιστεράν επ' αυτόν·
10 Immediately coming up from the water, he saw the heavens parting and the Spirit descending on him like a dove.
11 και φωνή έγεινεν εκ των ουρανών· Συ είσαι ο Υιός μου ο αγαπητός, εις τον οποίον ευηρεστήθην.
11 A voice came out of the sky, “You are my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
12 Και ευθύς το Πνεύμα εκβάλλει αυτόν εις την έρημον·
12 Immediately the Spirit drove him out into the wilderness.
13 και ήτο εκεί εν τη ερήμω ημέρας τεσσαράκοντα πειραζόμενος υπό του Σατανά, και ήτο μετά των θηρίων, και οι άγγελοι υπηρέτουν αυτόν.
13 He was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted by Satan. He was with the wild animals; and the angels were serving him.
14 Αφού δε παρεδόθη ο Ιωάννης, ήλθεν ο Ιησούς εις την Γαλιλαίαν κηρύττων το ευαγγέλιον της βασιλείας του Θεού
14 Now after John was taken into custody, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the Good News of God’s Kingdom,
15 και λέγων ότι επληρώθη ο καιρός και επλησίασεν η βασιλεία του Θεού· μετανοείτε και πιστεύετε εις το ευαγγέλιον.
15 and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and God’s Kingdom is at hand! Repent, and believe in the Good News.”
16 Περιπατών δε παρά την θάλασσαν της Γαλιλαίας, είδε τον Σίμωνα και Ανδρέαν τον αδελφόν αυτού, ρίπτοντας δίκτυον εις την θάλασσαν· διότι ήσαν αλιείς·
16 Passing along by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew, the brother of Simon, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen.
17 και είπε προς αυτούς ο Ιησούς· Έλθετε οπίσω μου, και θέλω σας κάμει να γείνητε αλιείς ανθρώπων.
17 Jesus said to them, “Come after me, and I will make you into fishers for men.”
18 Και ευθύς αφήσαντες τα δίκτυα αυτών, ηκολούθησαν αυτόν.
18 Immediately they left their nets, and followed him.
19 Και προχωρήσας εκείθεν ολίγον, είδεν Ιάκωβον τον του Ζεβεδαίου και Ιωάννην τον αδελφόν αυτού, και αυτούς εν τω πλοίω επισκευάζοντας τα δίκτυα,
19 Going on a little further from there, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who were also in the boat mending the nets.
20 και ευθύς εκάλεσεν αυτούς. Και αφήσαντες τον πατέρα αυτών Ζεβεδαίον εν τω πλοίω μετά των μισθωτών, υπήγον οπίσω αυτού.
20 Immediately he called them, and they left their father, Zebedee, in the boat with the hired servants, and went after him.
21 Και εισέρχονται εις Καπερναούμ· και ευθύς εν τω σαββάτω εισελθών ο Ιησούς εις την συναγωγήν εδίδασκε.
21 They went into Capernaum, and immediately on the Sabbath day he entered into the synagogue and taught.
22 Και εξεπλήττοντο διά την διδαχήν αυτού· διότι εδίδασκεν αυτούς ως έχων εξουσίαν, και ουχί ως οι γραμματείς.
22 They were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as having authority, and not as the scribes.
23 Και ήτο εν τη συναγωγή αυτών άνθρωπος έχων πνεύμα ακάθαρτον, και ανέκραξε,
23 Immediately there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit, and he cried out,
24 λέγων· Φευ, τι είναι μεταξύ ημών και σου, Ιησού Ναζαρηνέ; ήλθες να μας απολέσης; σε γνωρίζω τις είσαι, ο Άγιος του Θεού.
24 saying, “Ha! What do we have to do with you, Jesus, you Nazarene? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are: the Holy One of God!”
25 Και επετίμησεν αυτό ο Ιησούς, λέγων· Σιώπα και έξελθε εξ αυτού.
25 Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be quiet, and come out of him!”
26 Και το πνεύμα το ακάθαρτον, αφού εσπάραξεν αυτόν και έκραξε μετά φωνής μεγάλης, εξήλθεν εξ αυτού.
26 The unclean spirit, convulsing him and crying with a loud voice, came out of him.
27 Και πάντες εξεπλάγησαν, ώστε συνεζήτουν προς αλλήλους, λέγοντες· Τι είναι τούτο; τις αύτη η νέα διδαχή, διότι μετά εξουσίας προστάζει και τα ακάθαρτα πνεύματα, και υπακούουσιν εις αυτόν;
27 They were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, “What is this? What can this new doctrine be? For with authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him!”
28 Εξήλθε δε η φήμη αυτού ευθύς εις όλην την περίχωρον της Γαλιλαίας.
28 The report of him went out immediately into all the region of Galilee and its surrounding area.
29 Και ευθύς εξελθόντες εκ της συναγωγής, ήλθον εις την οικίαν Σίμωνος και Ανδρέου μετά του Ιακώβου και Ιωάννου.
29 Immediately, when they had come out of the synagogue, they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
30 Η δε πενθερά του Σίμωνος ήτο κατάκοιτος πάσχουσα πυρετόν. Και ευθύς ελάλησαν προς αυτόν περί αυτής.
30 Now Simon’s wife’s mother lay sick with a fever, and immediately they told him about her.
31 Και πλησιάσας ήγειρεν αυτήν πιάσας την χείρα αυτής, και αφήκεν αυτήν ο πυρετός ευθύς, και υπηρέτει αυτούς.
31 He came and took her by the hand and raised her up. The fever left her immediately, and she served them.
32 Αφού δε έγεινεν εσπέρα, ότε έδυσεν ο ήλιος, έφεραν προς αυτόν πάντας τους πάσχοντας και τους δαιμονιζομένους·
32 At evening, when the sun had set, they brought to him all who were sick and those who were possessed by demons.
33 και η πόλις όλη ήτο συνηγμένη έμπροσθεν της θύρας·
33 All the city was gathered together at the door.
34 και εθεράπευσε πολλούς πάσχοντας διαφόρους αρρωστίας, και δαιμόνια πολλά εξέβαλε, και δεν άφινε τα δαιμόνια να λαλώσιν, επειδή εγνώριζον αυτόν.
34 He healed many who were sick with various diseases and cast out many demons. He didn’t allow the demons to speak, because they knew him.
35 Και το πρωΐ ενώ ήτο όρθρος βαθύς, σηκωθείς εξήλθε· και υπήγεν εις έρημον τόπον και εκεί προσηύχετο.
35 Early in the morning, while it was still dark, he rose up and went out, and departed into a deserted place, and prayed there.
36 Και έδραμον κατόπιν αυτού ο Σίμων και οι μετ' αυτού,
36 Simon and those who were with him searched for him.
37 και ευρόντες αυτόν λέγουσι προς αυτόν ότι πάντες σε ζητούσι.
37 They found him and told him, “Everyone is looking for you.”
38 Και λέγει προς αυτούς· Ας υπάγωμεν εις τας πλησίον κωμοπόλεις, διά να κηρύξω και εκεί· επειδή διά τούτο εξήλθον.
38 He said to them, “Let’s go elsewhere into the next towns, that I may preach there also, because I came out for this reason.”
39 Και εκήρυττεν εν ταις συναγωγαίς αυτών εις όλην την Γαλιλαίαν και εξέβαλλε τα δαιμόνια.
39 He went into their synagogues throughout all Galilee, preaching and casting out demons.
40 Και έρχεται προς αυτόν λεπρός παρακαλών αυτόν και γονυπετών έμπροσθεν αυτού και λέγων προς αυτόν ότι, εάν θέλης, δύνασαι να με καθαρίσης.
40 A leper came to him, begging him, kneeling down to him, and saying to him, “If you want to, you can make me clean.”
41 Ο δε Ιησούς σπλαγχνισθείς, εξέτεινε την χείρα και ήγγισεν αυτόν και λέγει προς αυτόν· Θέλω, καθαρίσθητι.
41 Being moved with compassion, he stretched out his hand, and touched him, and said to him, “I want to. Be made clean.”
42 Και ως είπε τούτο, ευθύς έφυγεν απ' αυτού η λέπρα, και εκαθαρίσθη.
42 When he had said this, immediately the leprosy departed from him and he was made clean.
43 Και προστάξας αυτόν εντόνως, ευθύς απέπεμψεν αυτόν
43 He strictly warned him and immediately sent him out,
44 και λέγει προς αυτόν· Πρόσεχε μη είπης προς μηδένα μηδέν, αλλ' ύπαγε, δείξον σεαυτόν εις τον ιερέα και πρόσφερε περί του καθαρισμού σου όσα προσέταξεν ο Μωϋσής διά μαρτυρίαν εις αυτούς.
44 and said to him, “See that you say nothing to anybody, but go show yourself to the priest and offer for your cleansing the things which Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.”
45 Αλλ' εκείνος εξελθών ήρχισε να κηρύττη πολλά και να διαφημίζη τον λόγον, ώστε πλέον δεν ηδύνατο αυτός να εισέλθη φανερά εις πόλιν, αλλ' ήτο έξω εν ερήμοις τόποις· και ήρχοντο προς αυτόν πανταχόθεν.
45 But he went out, and began to proclaim it much, and to spread about the matter, so that Jesus could no more openly enter into a city, but was outside in desert places. People came to him from everywhere.

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." Knowing one and the same Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was announced by the prophets, who from the fruit of David's body was Emmanuel, "the messenger of great counsel of the Father;" through whom God caused …
