14 Now after John was arrested, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God,
14
After John was put in prison, Jesus went into Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God.
15 and saying, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent, and believe in the gospel."
15
“The time has come,” he said. “The kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news!”
16 And passing along by the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew the brother of Simon casting a net in the sea; for they were fishermen.
16
As Jesus walked beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen.
17 And Jesus said to them, "Follow me and I will make you become fishers of men."
17
“Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will send you out to fish for people.”
18 And immediately they left their nets and followed him.
18
At once they left their nets and followed him.
19 And going on a little farther, he saw James the son of Zeb'edee and John his brother, who were in their boat mending the nets.
19
When he had gone a little farther, he saw James son of Zebedee and his brother John in a boat, preparing their nets.
20 And immediately he called them; and they left their father Zeb'edee in the boat with the hired servants, and followed him.
20
Without delay he called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men and followed him.
21 And they went into Caper'na-um; and immediately on the sabbath he entered the synagogue and taught.
21
They went to Capernaum, and when the Sabbath came, Jesus went into the synagogue and began to teach.
22 And they were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as one who had authority, and not as the scribes.
22
The people were amazed at his teaching, because he taught them as one who had authority, not as the teachers of the law.
23 And immediately there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit;
23
Just then a man in their synagogue who was possessed by an impure spirit cried out,
24 and he cried out, "What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are, the Holy One of God."
24
“What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God!”
25 But Jesus rebuked him, saying, "Be silent, and come out of him!"
25
“Be quiet!” said Jesus sternly. “Come out of him!”
26 And the unclean spirit, convulsing him and crying with a loud voice, came out of him.
26
The impure spirit shook the man violently and came out of him with a shriek.
27 And they were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, "What is this? A new teaching! With authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him."
27
The people were all so amazed that they asked each other, “What is this? A new teaching—and with authority! He even gives orders to impure spirits and they obey him.”
28 And at once his fame spread everywhere throughout all the surrounding region of Galilee.
28
News about him spread quickly over the whole region of Galilee.
