4John the Baptist appeared in the wilderness, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.

5People went out to him from all of Jerusalem and the countryside of Judea. Confessing their sins, they were baptized by him in the Jordan River.

6John was clothed in camel’s hair, with a leather belt around his waist. His food was locusts and wild honey.

7And he began to proclaim: “After me will come One more powerful than I, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie.

9In those days Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan.

10As soon as Jesus came up out of the water, He saw the heavens breaking open and the Spirit descending on Him like a dove.

11And a voice came from heaven: “You are My beloved Son; in You I am well pleased.”

12At once the Spirit drove Jesus into the wilderness,

13and He was there for forty days, being tempted by Satan. He was with the wild animals, and the angels ministered to Him.

14After the arrest of John, Jesus went into Galilee and proclaimed the gospel of God.

15“The time is fulfilled,” He said, “and the kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe in the gospel!”
16ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁϥⲥⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲥⲕⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲓⲟⲙ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϯⲄⲁⲗⲓⲗⲉ⳿ⲁ ⲁϥⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲤⲓⲙⲱⲛ ⲛⲉⲙ Ⲁⲛ⳿ⲇⲣⲉⲁⲥ ⳿ⲡⲥⲟⲛ ⳿ⲛⲤⲓⲙⲱⲛ ⲉⲩϩⲓ⳿ϣⲛⲉ ⳿ⲛⲥⲓϯ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲫⲓⲟⲙ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲏⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲉ ϩⲁⲛⲟⲩ⳿ⲟϩⲓ ⲛⲉ.
16As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen.
17ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲁⲙⲱⲓⲛⲓ ⲙⲟϣⲓ ⳿ⲛⲥⲱⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁⲉⲣ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛⲟⲩ⳿ⲟϩⲓ ⳿ⲛⲣⲉϥⲧⲁϩⲉⲣⲱⲙⲓ.
17“Come, follow Me,” Jesus said, “and I will make you fishers of men.”

18And at once they left their nets and followed Him.

19Going on a little farther, He saw James son of Zebedee and his brother John. They were in a boat, mending their nets.
20ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲥⲁⲧⲟⲧϥ ⲁϥⲙⲟⲩϯ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩⲭⲁ ⲡⲟⲩⲓⲱⲧ ⳿ⲛⲥⲱⲟⲩ Ⲍⲉⲃⲉⲇⲉⲟⲥ ϩⲓⲡⲓϫⲟⲓ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓⲙⲩⲥⲑⲱⲧⲏⲥ ⲁⲩϣⲉⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⲁⲩⲙⲟϣⲓ ⳿ⲛⲥⲱϥ.
20Immediately Jesus called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men and followed Him.
21ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩϣⲉⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉⲔⲁⲫⲁⲣⲛⲁⲟⲩⲙ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲥⲁⲧⲟⲧϥ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲥⲁⲃⲃⲁⲧⲟⲛ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁϥϣⲉ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲁϥϯ⳿ⲥⲃⲱ ϧⲉⲛ ϯⲥⲩⲛⲁⲅⲱⲅⲏ.
21Then Jesus and His companions went to Capernaum, and right away Jesus entered the synagogue on the Sabbath and began to teach.
22ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲁⲩⲉⲣ⳿ϣⲫⲏⲣⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲧⲉϥ⳿ⲥⲃⲱ ⲛⲁϥϯ⳿ⲥⲃⲱ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⲡⲉ ϩⲱⲥ ⳿ⲉⲣⲉ ⲡⲉϥⲉⲣϣⲓϣⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲟⲧϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲥⲁϧ.
22The people were astonished at His teaching, because He taught as one who had authority, and not as the scribes.
23ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲥⲁⲧⲟⲧϥ ⲛⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ϯⲥⲩⲛⲁⲅⲱⲅⲏ ⲉϥϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲡ͞ⲛⲁ̅ ⳿ⲛ⳿⳿ⲁⲕⲁⲑⲁⲣⲧⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲱϣ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ.
23Suddenly a man with an unclean spirit cried out in the synagogue:

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!”

25But Jesus rebuked the spirit. “Be silent!” He said. “Come out of him!”

26At this, the unclean spirit threw the man into convulsions and came out with a loud shriek.

27All the people were amazed and began to ask one another, “What is this? A new teaching with authority! He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey Him!”
28ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲁ ⲧⲉϥ⳿ⲥⲙⲏ ⲥⲁⲧⲟⲧϥ ⲥⲱⲣ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲙⲁⲓ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ϯⲡⲉⲣⲓⲭⲱⲣⲟⲥ ⲧⲏⲣⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϯⲄⲁⲗⲓⲗⲉ⳿ⲁ.
28And the news about Jesus spread quickly through the whole region of Galilee.
29ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲥⲁⲧⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗϧⲉⲛ ϯⲥⲩⲛⲁⲅⲱⲅⲏ ⲁⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲡⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛⲤⲓⲙⲱⲛ ⲛⲉⲙ Ⲁⲛ⳿ⲇⲣⲉⲁⲥ ⳿ⲉⲣⲉ Ⲓⲁⲕⲱⲃⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲉⲙ Ⲓⲱⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ.
29As soon as Jesus and His companions had left the synagogue, they went with James and John to the home of Simon and Andrew.
30⳿ⲧϣⲱⲙⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛⲤⲓⲙⲱⲛ ⲛⲁⲥⲉⲛⲕⲟⲧ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲥϧⲏⲙ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲥⲁⲧⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⲁⲩϫⲟⲥ ⲛⲁϥ ⲉⲑⲃⲏⲧⲥ.
30Simon’s mother-in-law was sick in bed with a fever, and they promptly told Jesus about her.
31ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥ⳿ⲓ ⲁϥⲧⲟⲩⲛⲟⲥⲥ ⳿ⲉⲁϥ⳿ⲁⲙⲟⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲥϫⲓϫ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲭⲁⲥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲓ⳿ϧⲙⲟⲙ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲁⲥϣⲉⲙϣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⲡⲉ.
31So He went to her, took her by the hand, and helped her up. The fever left her, and she began to serve them.
32⳿ⲉⲧⲁ ⲣⲟⲩϩⲓ ⲇⲉ ϣⲱⲡⲓ ϩⲟⲧⲉ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁ ⳿ⲫⲣⲏ ϩⲱⲧⲡ ⲁⲩ⳿ⲓⲛⲓ ⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉⲧ⳿ⲧϩⲉⲙⲕⲏⲟⲩⲧ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲏ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲇⲉⲙⲱⲛ ⲛⲉⲙⲱⲟⲩ.
32That evening, after sunset, people brought to Jesus all who were sick and demon-possessed,

33and the whole town gathered at the door.

34And He healed many who were ill with various diseases and drove out many demons. But He would not allow the demons to speak, because they knew who He was.

35Early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up and slipped out to a solitary place to pray.
36ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥϭⲟϫⲓ ⳿ⲛⲥⲱϥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲥⲓⲙⲱⲛ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲏⲉⲑⲛⲉⲙⲁϥ.
36Simon and his companions went to look for Him,

37and when they found Him, they said, “Everyone is looking for You!”

38But Jesus answered, “Let us go on to the neighboring towns so I can preach there as well, for that is why I have come.”

39So He went throughout Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and driving out demons.

40Then a leper came to Jesus, begging on his knees: “If You are willing, You can make me clean.”

41Moved with compassion, Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” He said. “Be clean!”
