The beginning of the gospel of Y'shua the Mashiyach, the Son of Elohim.

As it is written in Ashaya the prophet: I am sending my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way.

The voice of one crying in the wilderness: Prepare the way of Master YHWH, and make his paths smooth.

Yochanan was in the wilderness immersing and proclaiming an immersion of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.

And all the region of Yehuda was going out to him, and all the sons of Urishlim, and he was immersing them in the Yordanan while they confessed their sins.

Now Yochanan was clothed in a garment of camel's hair and was bound with a leather belt around his waist, and his food was locusts and wild honey.

And he was proclaiming and saying, After me comes one more powerful than I, of whom I am not worthy to stoop and untie the straps of his sandals.

I have immersed you with water, but he will immerse you with the Ruach haKodesh.

And it was in those days that Y'shua came from Natsrath of Galila and was immersed in the Yordanan by Yochanan.

And at once as he came up from the water he saw the heavens split open and the Ruach like a dove descending upon him.

And a voice came from heaven: You are my beloved Son; in you I am well pleased.

And at once the Ruach drove him out into the wilderness.

And he was there in the wilderness forty days, while being tempted by Satana. And he was with the wild beasts, and messengers were ministering to him.

After Yochanan was delivered up, Y'shua came to Galila and was proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of Elohim,

and said: The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of Elohim has come near. Turn back, and believe in the good news.

And as he was walking around the sea of Galila, he saw Shimon and Andraos his brother casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen.

And Y'shua said to them: Come after me, and I will make you fishers of the sons of men.

And at once they left their nets and went after him.

And as he passed on a little, he saw Ya'akov the son of Zabday, and Yochanan his brother, who also were in the boat mending their nets.

And he called them; and at once they left Zabday their father in the boat with the hired servants, and went after him.

And when they entered Kfar-Nachum, at once he was teaching on the sabbath in their synagogue.

And they were astonished at his teaching; for he was teaching them as one having authority, and not as their scribes.

And there was in their synagogue a man in whom was an unclean spirit; and he cried out,

and said, What have we to do with you, Y'shua the Natsraya? Have you come to destroy us? I know you, who you are, the Holy One of Elohim.

And Y'shua rebuked him and said, Shut your mouth and come out of him.

And the unclean spirit threw him down and cried out with a loud voice and came out of him.

And they were all amazed and were inquiring one with another and saying, What is this? And what is this new teaching, that with authority he even commands the unclean spirits and they obey him.

And at once his fame went out into all the region of Galila.

And they went out from the synagogue and came to the house of Shimon and of Andrew, with Ya'akov and Yochanan.

And Shimon's mother-in-law was lying sick with a fever, and they told him about her.

And he came near, took her by the hand, and raised her up; and at once the fever left her, and she was serving them.

And in the evening, at the setting of the sun, they brought to him all who were badly afflicted, and the demoniacs.

And the whole city was gathered at the door.

And he healed many who were badly afflicted with various diseases, and cast out many demons; and he did not allow the demons to speak, because they knew him.

And in the morning, very early, he rose and went to a deserted place, and there he was praying.

And Shimon and those with him were seeking him.

And when they found him, they say to him, All the people are seeking you.

He said to them, Go to the villages and to the cities that are near, that I may preach there also, for this is why I have come.

And he was preaching in all their assemblies in all Galila, and casting out demons.

And a leper came to him and fell at his feet and was seeking from him and said to him, If you will, you can cleanse me.

And Y'shua had compassion on him and stretched out his hand, touched him, and said, I will; be clean.

And in that hour his leprosy went from him, and he was cleansed.

And he charged him and sent him away,

and he said to him, See that you tell no one, but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer the offering for your cleansing, as Moshe commanded, for a testimony to them.

But he, as he went out, began to proclaim it much and to spread the word, so that Y'shua could not openly enter the city, but was outside in desert places; and they were coming to him from every place.
