And he was with the wild animals, and the angels were ministering to him. *Jesus Begins His Ministry* \[14\] Now after John was arrested, Jesus came into Galilee, proclaiming the gospel of God, \[15\] and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.” *Jesus Calls the First Disciples* \[16\] Passing alongside the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew the brother of Simon casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen. \[17\] And Jesus said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you become fishers of men.” \[18\] And immediately they left their nets and followed him. \[19\] And going on a little farther, he saw James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, who were in their boat mending the nets. \[20\] And immediately he called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants and followed him. *Jesus Heals a Man with an Unclean Spirit* \[21\] And they went into Capernaum, and immediately on the Sabbath he entered the synagogue and was teaching. \[22\] And they were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as one who had authority, and not as the scribes. \[23\] And immediately there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit. And he cried out, \[24\] “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.” \[25\] But Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be silent, and come out of him!” \[26\] And the unclean spirit, convulsing him and crying out with a loud voice, came out of him. \[27\] 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.” \[28\] And at once his fame spread everywhere throughout all the surrounding region of Galilee. *Jesus Heals Many* \[29\] And immediately he left the synagogue and entered the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. \[30\] Now Simon’s mother-in-law lay ill with a fever, and immediately they told him about her. \[31\] And he came and took her by the hand and lifted her up, and the fever left her, and she began to serve them. \[32\] That evening at sundown they brought to him all who were sick or oppressed by demons. \[33\] And the whole city was gathered together at the door. \[34\] And he healed many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons. And he would not permit the demons to speak, because they knew him. *Jesus Preaches in Galilee* \[35\] And rising very early in the morning, while it was still dark, he departed and went out to a desolate place, and there he prayed. \[36\] And Simon and those who were with him searched for him, \[37\] and they found him and said to him, “Everyone is looking for you.” \[38\] And he said to them, “Let us go on to the next towns, that I may preach there also, for that is why I came out.” \[39\] And he went throughout all Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and casting out demons. *Jesus Cleanses a Leper* \[40\] And a leper came to him, imploring him, and kneeling said to him, “If you will, you can make me clean.” \[41\] Moved with pity, he stretched out his hand and touched him and said to him, “I will; be clean.” \[42\] And immediately the leprosy left him, and he was made clean. \[43\] And Jesus sternly charged him and sent him away at once, \[44\] and said to him, “See that you say nothing to anyone, but go, show yourself to the priest and offer for your cleansing what Moses commanded, for a proof to them.” \[45\] But he went out and began to talk freely about it, and to spread the news, so that Jesus could no longer openly enter a town, but was out in desolate places, and people were coming to him from every quarter.
