1 Initium Evangelii Jesu Christi, Filii Dei.
1 PRINCIPIO del evangelio de Jesucristo, Hijo de Dios.
1 The beginning of the Good News of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
2 Sicut scriptum est in Isaia propheta: [Ecce ego mitto angelum meum ante faciem tuam, qui præparabit viam tuam ante te.
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.
2 As it is written in the prophets, “Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you:
3 Vox clamantis in deserto: Parate viam Domini, rectas facite semitas ejus.]
3 Voz del que clama en el desierto: Aparejad el camino del Señor; enderezad sus veredas.
3 the voice of one crying in the wilderness, ‘Make ready the way of the Lord! Make his paths straight!’”
4 Fuit Joannes in deserto baptizans, et prædicans baptismum pœnitentiæ in remissionem peccatorum.
4 Bautizaba Juan en el desierto, y predicaba el bautismo del arrepentimiento para remisión de pecados.
4 John came baptizing in the wilderness and preaching the baptism of repentance for forgiveness of sins.
5 Et egrediebatur ad eum omnis Judææ regio, et Jerosolymitæ universi, et baptizabantur ab illo in Jordanis flumine, confitentes peccata sua.
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.
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 Et erat Joannes vestitus pilis cameli, et zona pellicea circa lumbos ejus, et locustas et mel silvestre edebat.
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.
6 John was clothed with camel’s hair and a leather belt around his waist. He ate locusts and wild honey.
7 Et prædicabat dicens: Venit fortior post me, cujus non sum dignus procumbens solvere corrigiam calceamentorum ejus.
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.
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 Ego baptizavi vos aqua, ille vero baptizabit vos Spiritu Sancto.
8 Yo á la verdad os he bautizado con agua; mas él os bautizará con Espíritu Santo.
8 I baptized you in water, but he will baptize you in the Holy Spirit.”
9 Et factum est: in diebus illis venit Jesus a Nazareth Galilææ: et baptizatus est a Joanne in Jordane.
9 Y aconteció en aquellos días, que Jesús vino de Nazaret de Galilea, y fué bautizado por Juan en el Jordán.
9 In those days, Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John in the Jordan.
10 Et statim ascendens de aqua, vidit cælos apertos, et Spiritum tamquam columbam descendentem, et manentem in ipso.
10 Y luego, subiendo del agua, vió abrirse los cielos, y al Espíritu como paloma, que descendía sobre él.
10 Immediately coming up from the water, he saw the heavens parting and the Spirit descending on him like a dove.
11 Et vox facta est de cælis: Tu es Filius meus dilectus, in te complacui.
11 Y hubo [una] voz de los cielos [que decía]: Tú eres mi Hijo amado; en ti tomo contentamiento.
11 A voice came out of the sky, “You are my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
12 Et statim Spiritus expulit eum in desertum.
12 Y luego el Espíritu le impele al desierto.
12 Immediately the Spirit drove him out into the wilderness.
13 Et erat in deserto quadraginta diebus, et quadraginta noctibus: et tentabatur a Satana: eratque cum bestiis, et angeli ministrabant illi.
13 Y estuvo allí en el desierto cuarenta días, y era tentado de Satanás; y estaba con las fieras; y los ángeles le servían.
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 Postquam autem traditus est Joannes, venit Jesus in Galilæam, prædicans Evangelium regni Dei,
14 Mas después que Juan fué encarcelado, Jesús vino á Galilea predicando el evangelio del reino de Dios,
14 Now after John was taken into custody, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the Good News of God’s Kingdom,
15 et dicens: Quoniam impletum est tempus, et appropinquavit regnum Dei: pœnitemini, et credite Evangelio.
15 Y diciendo: El tiempo es cumplido, y el reino de Dios está cerca: arrepentíos, y creed al evangelio.
15 and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and God’s Kingdom is at hand! Repent, and believe in the Good News.”
16 Et præteriens secus mare Galilææ, vidit Simonem, et Andream fratrem ejus, mittentes retia in mare (erant enim piscatores),
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.
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 et dixit eis Jesus: Venite post me, et faciam vos fieri piscatores hominum.
17 Y les dijo Jesús: Venid en pos de mí, y haré que seáis pescadores de hombres.
17 Jesus said to them, “Come after me, and I will make you into fishers for men.”
18 Et protinus relictis retibus, secuti sunt eum.
18 Y luego, dejadas sus redes, le siguieron.
18 Immediately they left their nets, and followed him.
19 Et progressus inde pusillum, vidit Jacobum Zebedæi, et Joannem fratrem ejus, et ipsos componentes retia in navi:
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.
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 et statim vocavit illos. Et relicto patre suo Zebedæo in navi cum mercenariis, secuti sunt eum.
20 Y luego los llamó: y dejando á su padre Zebedeo en el barco con los jornaleros, fueron en pos de él.
20 Immediately he called them, and they left their father, Zebedee, in the boat with the hired servants, and went after him.
21 Et ingrediuntur Capharnaum: et statim sabbatis ingressus in synagogam, docebat eos.
21 Y entraron en Capernaum; y luego los sábados, entrando en la sinagoga, enseñaba.
21 They went into Capernaum, and immediately on the Sabbath day he entered into the synagogue and taught.
22 Et stupebant super doctrina ejus: erat enim docens eos quasi potestatem habens, et non sicut scribæ.
22 Y se admiraban de su doctrina; porque les enseñaba como quien tiene potestad, y no como los escribas.
22 They were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as having authority, and not as the scribes.
23 Et erat in synagoga eorum homo in spiritu immundo: et exclamavit,
23 Y había en la sinagoga de ellos un hombre con espíritu inmundo, el cual dió voces,
23 Immediately there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit, and he cried out,
24 dicens: Quid nobis et tibi, Jesu Nazarene? venisti perdere nos? scio qui sis, Sanctus Dei.
24 Diciendo: ¡Ah! ¿qué tienes con nosotros, Jesús Nazareno? ¿Has venido á destruirnos? Sé quién eres, el Santo de Dios.
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 Et comminatus est ei Jesus, dicens: Obmutesce, et exi de homine.
25 Y Jesús le riñó, diciendo: Enmudece, y sal de él.
25 Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be quiet, and come out of him!”
26 Et discerpens eum spiritus immundus, et exclamans voce magna, exiit ab eo.
26 Y el espíritu inmundo, haciéndole pedazos, y clamando á gran voz, salió de él.
26 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? quænam doctrina hæc nova? quia in potestate etiam spiritibus immundis imperat, et obediunt ei.
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?
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 Et processit rumor ejus statim in omnem regionem Galilææ.
28 Y vino luego su fama por toda la provincia alrededor de Galilea.
28 The report of him went out immediately into all the region of Galilee and its surrounding area.
29 Et protinus egredientes de synagoga, venerunt in domum Simonis et Andreæ, cum Jacobo et Joanne.
29 Y luego saliendo de la sinagoga, vinieron á casa de Simón y de Andrés, con Jacobo y Juan.
29 Immediately, when they had come out of the synagogue, they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.
30 Decumbebat autem socrus Simonis febricitans: et statim dicunt ei de illa.
30 Y la suegra de Simón estaba acostada con calentura; y le hablaron luego de ella.
30 Now Simon’s wife’s mother lay sick with a fever, and immediately they told him about her.
31 Et accedens elevavit eam, apprehensa manu ejus: et continuo dimisit eam febris, et ministrabat eis.
31 Entonces llegando él, la tomó de su mano y la levantó; y luego la dejó la calentura, y les servía.
31 He came and took her by the hand and raised her up. The fever left her immediately, and she served them.
32 Vespere autem facto cum occidisset sol, afferebant ad eum omnes male habentes, et dæmonia habentes:
32 Y cuando fué la tarde, luego que el sol se puso, traían á él todos los que tenían mal, y endemoniados;
32 At evening, when the sun had set, they brought to him all who were sick and those who were possessed by demons.
33 et erat omnis civitas congregata ad januam.
33 Y toda la ciudad se juntó á la puerta.
33 All the city was gathered together at the door.
34 Et curavit multos, qui vexabantur variis languoribus, et dæmonia multa ejiciebat, et non sinebat ea loqui, quoniam sciebant eum.
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.
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 Et diluculo valde surgens, egressus abiit in desertum locum, ibique orabat.
35 Y levantándose muy de mañana, aun muy de noche, salió y se fué á un lugar desierto, y allí oraba.
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 Et prosecutus est eum Simon, et qui cum illo erant.
36 Y le siguió Simón, y los que estaban con él;
36 Simon and those who were with him searched for him.
37 Et cum invenissent eum, dixerunt ei: Quia omnes quærunt te.
37 Y hallándole, le dicen: Todos te buscan.
37 They found him and told him, “Everyone is looking for you.”
38 Et ait illis: Eamus in proximos vicos, et civitates, ut et ibi prædicem: ad hoc enim veni.
38 Y les dice: Vamos á los lugares vecinos, para que predique también allí; porque para esto he venido.
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 Et erat prædicans in synagogis eorum, et in omni Galilæa, et dæmonia ejiciens.
39 Y predicaba en las sinagogas de ellos en toda Galilea, y echaba fuera los demonios.
39 He went into their synagogues throughout all Galilee, preaching and casting out demons.
40 Et venit ad eum leprosus deprecans eum: et genu flexo dixit ei: Si vis, potes me mundare.
40 Y un leproso vino á él, rogándole; é hincada la rodilla, le dice: Si quieres, puedes limpiarme.
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 Jesus autem misertus ejus, extendit manum suam: et tangens eum, ait illi: Volo: mundare.
41 Y Jesús, teniendo misericordia de él, extendió su mano, y le tocó, y le dice: Quiero, sé limpio.
41 Being moved with compassion, he stretched out his hand, and touched him, and said to him, “I want to. Be made clean.”
42 Et cum dixisset, statim discessit ab eo lepra, et mundatus est.
42 Y así que hubo él hablado, la lepra se fué luego de aquél, y fué limpio.
42 When he had said this, immediately the leprosy departed from him and he was made clean.
43 Et comminatus est ei, statimque ejecit illum,
43 Entonces le apercibió, y despidióle luego,
43 He strictly warned him and immediately sent him out,
44 et dicit ei: Vide nemini dixeris: sed vade, ostende te principi sacerdotum, et offer pro emundatione tua, quæ præcepit Moyses in testimonium illis.
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.
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 At ille egressus cœpit prædicare, et diffamare sermonem, ita ut jam non posset manifeste introire in civitatem, sed foris in desertis locis esset, et conveniebant ad eum undique.
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.
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."
