Mark 1:1-12

The Bible in Basic English BBE

1 The first words of the good news of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

2 Even as it is said in the book of Isaiah the prophet, See, I send my servant before your face, who will make ready your way;

3 The voice of one crying in the waste land, Make ready the way of the Lord, make his roads straight;

4 John came, and gave baptism in the waste land, preaching baptism as a sign of forgiveness of sin for those whose hearts were changed.

5 And there went out to him all the people of Judaea, and all those of Jerusalem, and they were given baptism by him in the river Jordan, saying that they were sinners.

6 And John was clothed in camel's hair, with a leather band about him; and his food was locusts and honey.

7 And he said to them all, There is one coming after me who is greater than I, whose shoes I am not good enough to undo.

8 I have given you baptism with water, but he will give you baptism with the Holy Spirit.

9 And it came about in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was given baptism by John in the Jordan.

10 And straight away, coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens broken open and the Spirit coming down on him as a dove:

11 And a voice came out of heaven, You are my dearly loved Son, with whom I am well pleased.

12 And straight away the Spirit sent him out into the waste land.

1 The Beginning of the Besuras HaGeulah (the Good News of Redemption) of Yehoshua, Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach [the] Ben HaElohim.

2 Just as it has been written in Yeshayah HaNavi, HINNENI SHOLEIACH MALACHI (Behold, I send my messenger) before your face, UPINNAH DERECH LEFANAI (and he will prepare the way before me, [SHEMOT 23:20; MALACHI 3:1]), he will prepare your way.

3 KOL KOREY BAMIDBAR (A voice of one shouting in the wilderness, TARGUM HASHIVIM YESHAYAH 40:3): Prepare the Derech Hashem (the way of the L-rd). Make his paths yashar (straight)!

4 Yochanan came with a mikveh mayim in the midbar, preaching a tevilah of teshuva for the selichat avon.

5 And all Yehudah and all Yerushalayim were going out to him, and they were submitted to a tevilah using the Yarden River as a mikveh mayim, making vidduy [to Hashem] of their averos (sins).

6 And Yochanan had camel hair clothing and a leather belt around his waist, and his food was arbe and devash. [MELACHIM BAIS 1:8; VAYIKRA 11:22]

7 And he was preaching, crying out as a maggid [for the Moshiach], saying, Hu Habah (He who Comes, i.e. Moshiach) after me has more chozek (strength) than me. I am not worthy to stoop down and remove his sandals.

8 I give you a tevilah in a mikveh mayim, but he [Moshiach] will give you a tevilah in the Ruach Hakodesh.

9 And it was during that period that Yehoshua from Natzeret of the Galil came and submitted to Yochanan’s tevilah in the mikveh mayim of the Yarden.

10 And ofen ort Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach came up out of the mikveh mayim, and he saw Shomayim being torn open, the Ruach Hakodesh of Hashem descending like a yonah on him.

11 And there was a bat kol out of Shomayim, ATAH BNI AHUVI ASHER BCHA CHAFATSTI (You are my Son, the beloved, with whom I am well pleased).

12 Then the Ruach Hakodesh ofen ort thrusts him out into the midbar.
