1:16. And passing by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother, casting nets into the sea for they were fishermen. 1:17. And Jesus said to them: Come after me; and I will make you to become fishers of men. 1:18. And immediately leaving their nets, they followed him. 1:19. And going on from thence a little farther, he saw James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, who also were mending their nets in the ship: 1:20. And forthwith he called them. And leaving their father Zebedee in the ship with his hired men, they followed him. 1:21. And they entered into Capharnaum: and forthwith upon the sabbath days going into the synagogue, he taught them. 1:22. And they were astonished at his doctrine. For he was teaching them as one having power, and not as the scribes. 1:23. And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out, 1:24. Saying: What have we to do with thee, Jesus of Nazareth? Art thou come to destroy us? I know who thou art, the Holy One of God. 1:25. And Jesus threatened him, saying: Speak no more, and go out of the man. 1:26. And the unclean spirit, tearing him and crying out with a loud voice, went out of him. 1:27. And they were all amazed insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying: What thing is this? What is this new doctrine? For with power he commandeth even the unclean spirits: and they obey him. 1:28. And the fame of him was spread forthwith into all the country of Galilee. 1:29. And immediately going out of the synagogue they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. 1:30. And Simon's wife's mother lay in a fit of a fever: and forthwith they tell him of her. 1:31. And coming to her, he lifted her up, taking her by the hand; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them. 1:32. And when it was evening, after sunset, they brought to him all that were ill and that were possessed with devils. 1:33. And all the city was gathered together at the door. 1:34. And he healed many that were troubled with divers diseases. And he cast out many devils: and he suffered them not to speak, because they knew him. 1:35. And rising very early, going out, he went into a desert place: and there he prayed. 1:36. And Simon and they that were with him followed after him. 1:37. And when they had found him, they said to him: All seek for thee. 1:38. And he saith to them: Let us go into the neighbouring towns and cities, that I may preach there also; for to this purpose am I come. 1:39. And he was preaching in their synagogues and in all Galilee and casting out devils. 1:40. And there came a leper to him, beseeching him and kneeling down, said to him: If thou wilt thou canst make me clean. 1:41. And Jesus, having compassion on him, stretched forth his hand and touching him saith to him: I will. Be thou made clean. 1:42. And when he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him: and he was made clean.
