THE FIRST DAY
Having been to a baptism last Saturday (Matthew Simpson's), the reading of the Passover took on a whole new dimension. The Passover was the day on which Israel were redeemed from their slavery and freed from their bondage. A baptism is the day when a person is freed from their bondage to sin and given new life in Jesus Christ.
The Passover was the day when the faithful were saved by the blood of the lamb that was painted around and over the door of the house, protecting the inhabitants of that house from death. In the same way, at baptism we are saved by the blood of the Lamb of God, Jesus Christ. His blood saves us from death.
At baptism we are baptised into the family of Christ. We must remain in the family until we are called into the kingdom. So, at the Passover, the meal was to be shared in families and they were not to go out of their houses, away from the covering until they were called to leave Egypt.
But just as important, and more frequently forgotten, is that the Passover was to be the first day of the first month of the first year for Israel. At baptism we are born again making a fresh start. Let's make that day the first day of the first month of the first year for us, and just as they were to remember the Passover every year, so let us always remember the first day of our new life in the household of God, with our sins covered by the blood of the Lamb.

Have you ever considered that 3500 years after the first Passover feast was observed, Jewish families still gather together and observe this special night in the history of Israel. It certainly must be a meaningful remembrance.

Exo 11:7 The plagues were signs for the learning of the Egyptians as well as for the Israelites. Pharaoh ignored the warnings of judgement to come. The LORD has declared in His Word that He will judge the world in righteousness by His Son (Acts 17:31) when His Kingdom is established on earth. Rulers like Pharaoh, will then come to know that the earth is the LORD’s.
The LORD does nothing without revealing it first to His servants the prophets (Amos 3:7). The greatest sign we have been given of the intervention of the LORD in human affairs is, the witness of Israel. Are we reading and listening to the Word of God so that we know what we should be watching for?

1. And the LORD <3068> said <559>(8799) unto Moses <4872>, Yet will I bring <935>(8686) one <259> plague <5061> more upon Pharaoh <6547>, and upon Egypt <4714>; afterwards <310> he will let you go <7971>(8762) hence: when he shall let you go <7971>(8763), he shall surely <1644>(8763) thrust you out <1644>(8762) hence altogether <3617>.
2. Speak <1696>(8761) now in the ears <241> of the people <5971>, and let every man <376> borrow <7592>(8799) of his neighbour <7453>, and every woman <802> of her neighbour <7468>, jewels <3627> of silver <3701>, and jewels <3627> of gold <2091>.
3. And the LORD <3068> gave <5414>(8799) the people <5971> favour <2580> in the sight <5869> of the Egyptians <4714>. Moreover the man <376> Moses <4872> was very <3966> great <1419> in the land <776> of Egypt <4714>, in the sight <5869> of Pharaoh's <6547> servants <5650>, and in the sight <5869> of the people <5971>.
4. And Moses <4872> said <559>(8799), Thus saith <559>(8804) the LORD <3068>, About midnight <3915> <2676> will I go out <3318>(8802) into the midst <8432> of Egypt <4714>:
5. And all the firstborn <1060> in the land <776> of Egypt <4714> shall die <4191>(8804), from the firstborn <1060> of Pharaoh <6547> that sitteth <3427>(8802) upon his throne <3678>, even unto the firstborn <1060> of the maidservant <8198> that is behind <310> the mill <7347>; and all the firstborn <1060> of beasts <929>.
6. And there shall be <1961>(8738) a great <1419> cry <6818> throughout all the land <776> of Egypt <4714>, such as there was none <3808> like it, nor <3808> shall be like it any more <3254>(8686).
7. But against any of the children <1121> of Israel <3478> shall not a dog <3611> move <2782>(8799) his tongue <3956>, against man <376> or beast <929>: that ye may know <3045>(8799) how that the LORD <3068> doth put a difference <6395>(8686) between the Egyptians <4714> and Israel <3478>.
8. And all these thy servants <5650> shall come down <3381>(8804) unto me, and bow down <7812>(8694) themselves unto me, saying <559>(8800), Get thee out <3318>(8798), and all the people <5971> that follow <7272> thee: and after <310> that I will go out <3318>(8799). And he went out <3318>(8799) from Pharaoh <6547> in a great <2750> anger <639>.
9. And the LORD <3068> said <559>(8799) unto Moses <4872>, Pharaoh <6547> shall not hearken <8085>(8799) unto you; that my wonders <4159> may be multiplied <7235>(8800) in the land <776> of Egypt <4714>.
10. And Moses <4872> and Aaron <175> did <6213>(8804) all these wonders <4159> before <6440> Pharaoh <6547>: and the LORD <3068> hardened <2388>(8762) Pharaoh's <6547> heart <3820>, so that he would not let the children <1121> of Israel <3478> go out <7971>(8765) of his land <776>.
1. And the LORD <3068> spake <559>(8799) unto Moses <4872> and Aaron <175> in the land <776> of Egypt <4714>, saying <559>(8800),
2. This month <2320> shall be unto you the beginning <7218> of months <2320>: it shall be the first <7223> month <2320> of the year <8141> to you.
3. Speak <1696>(8761) ye unto all the congregation <5712> of Israel <3478>, saying <559>(8800), In the tenth <6218> day of this month <2320> they shall take <3947>(8799) to them every man <376> a lamb <7716>, according to the house <1004> of their fathers <1>, a lamb <7716> for an house <1004>:
4. And if the household <1004> be <1961>(8800) too little <4591>(8799) for the lamb <7716>, let him and his neighbour <7934> next <7138> unto his house <1004> take <3947>(8804) it according to the number <4373> of the souls <5315>; every man <376> according <6310> to his eating <400> shall make your count <3699>(8799) for the lamb <7716>.
5. Your lamb <7716> shall be without blemish <8549>, a male <2145> of the first <1121> year <8141>: ye shall take <3947>(8799) it out from the sheep <3532>, or from the goats <5795>:
6. And ye shall keep <4931> it up until the fourteenth <702> <6240> day <3117> of the same month <2320>: and the whole <3605> assembly <6951> of the congregation <5712> of Israel <3478> shall kill <7819>(8804) it in <996> the evening <6153>.
7. And they shall take <3947>(8804) of the blood <1818>, and strike <5414>(8804) it on the two <8147> side posts <4201> and on the upper door post <4947> of the houses <1004>, wherein they shall eat <398>(8799) it.
8. And they shall eat <398>(8804) the flesh <1320> in that night <3915>, roast <6748> with fire <784>, and unleavened bread <4682>; and with bitter <4844> herbs they shall eat <398>(8799) it.
9. Eat <398>(8799) not of it raw <4995>, nor sodden <1310>(8794) <1311> at all with water <4325>, but roast <6748> with fire <784>; his head <7218> with his legs <3767>, and with the purtenance <7130> thereof.
10. And ye shall let nothing of it remain <3498>(8686) until the morning <1242>; and that which remaineth <3498>(8737) of it until the morning <1242> ye shall burn <8313>(8799) with fire <784>.
11. And thus <3602> shall ye eat <398>(8799) it; with your loins <4975> girded <2296>(8803), your shoes <5275> on your feet <7272>, and your staff <4731> in your hand <3027>; and ye shall eat <398>(8804) it in haste <2649>: it is the LORD'S <3068> passover <6453>.
12. For I will pass <5674>(8804) through the land <776> of Egypt <4714> this night <3915>, and will smite <5221>(8689) all the firstborn <1060> in the land <776> of Egypt <4714>, both man <120> and beast <929>; and against all the gods <430> of Egypt <4714> I will execute <6213>(8799) judgment <8201>: I am the LORD <3068>.
13. And the blood <1818> shall be to you for a token <226> upon the houses <1004> where ye are: and when I see <7200>(8804) the blood <1818>, I will pass <6452>(8804) over you, and the plague <5063> shall not be upon you to destroy <4889> you, when I smite <5221>(8687) the land <776> of Egypt <4714>.
14. And this day <3117> shall be unto you for a memorial <2146>; and ye shall keep <2287>(8804) it a feast <2282> to the LORD <3068> throughout your generations <1755>; ye shall keep it a feast <2287>(8799) by an ordinance <2708> for ever <5769>.
15. Seven <7651> days <3117> shall ye eat <398>(8799) unleavened bread <4682>; even <389> the first <7223> day <3117> ye shall put away <7673>(8686) leaven <7603> out of your houses <1004>: for whosoever eateth <398>(8802) leavened bread <2557> from the first <7223> day <3117> until the seventh <7637> day <3117>, that soul <5315> shall be cut <3772>(8738) off from Israel <3478>.
16. And in the first <7223> day <3117> there shall be an holy <6944> convocation <4744>, and in the seventh <7637> day <3117> there shall be an holy <6944> convocation <4744> to you; no manner of work <4399> shall be done <6213>(8735) in them, save <389> that which every man <5315> must eat <398>(8735), that only may be done <6213>(8735) of you.
17. And ye shall observe <8104>(8804) the feast of unleavened bread <4682>; for in this selfsame <6106> day <3117> have I brought <3318>(8689) your armies <6635> out of the land <776> of Egypt <4714>: therefore shall ye observe <8104>(8804) this day <3117> in your generations <1755> by an ordinance <2708> for ever <5769>.
18. In the first <7223> month, on the fourteenth <6240> <702> day <3117> of the month <2320> at even <6153>, ye shall eat <398>(8799) unleavened bread <4682>, until the one <259> and twentieth <6242> day <3117> of the month <2320> at even <6153>.
19. Seven <7651> days <3117> shall there be no leaven <7603> found <4672>(8735) in your houses <1004>: for whosoever eateth <398>(8802) that which is leavened <2556>(8688), even that soul <5315> shall be cut off <3772>(8738) from the congregation <5712> of Israel <3478>, whether he be a stranger <1616>, or born <249> in the land <776>.
20. Ye shall eat <398>(8799) nothing leavened <2556>(8688); in all your habitations <4186> shall ye eat <398>(8799) unleavened bread <4682>.
21. Then Moses <4872> called <7121>(8799) for all the elders <2205> of Israel <3478>, and said <559>(8799) unto them, Draw out <4900>(8798) and take <3947>(8798) you a lamb <6629> according to your families <4940>, and kill <7819>(8798) the passover <6453>.
22. And ye shall take <3947>(8804) a bunch <92> of hyssop <231>, and dip <2881>(8804) it in the blood <1818> that is in the bason <5592>, and strike <5060>(8689) the lintel <4947> and the two <8147> side posts <4201> with the blood <1818> that is in the bason <5592>; and none <376> of you shall go out <3318>(8799) at the door <6607> of his house <1004> until the morning <1242>.
23. For the LORD <3068> will pass through <5674>(8804) to smite <5062>(8800) the Egyptians <4714>; and when he seeth <7200>(8804) the blood <1818> upon the lintel <4947>, and on the two <8147> side posts <4201>, the LORD <3068> will pass over <6452>(8804) the door <6607>, and will not suffer <5414>(8799) the destroyer <7843>(8688) to come <935>(8800) in unto your houses <1004> to smite <5062>(8800) you.
24. And ye shall observe <8104>(8804) this thing <1697> for an ordinance <2706> to thee and to thy sons <1121> for <5704> ever <5769>.
25. And it shall come to pass, when ye be come <935>(8799) to the land <776> which the LORD <3068> will give <5414>(8799) you, according as he hath promised <1696>(8765), that ye shall keep <8104>(8804) this service <5656>.
26. And it shall come to pass, when your children <1121> shall say <559>(8799) unto you, What mean ye by this service <5656>?
27. That ye shall say <559>(8804), It is the sacrifice <2077> of the LORD'S <3068> passover <6453>, who passed <6452>(8804) over the houses <1004> of the children <1121> of Israel <3478> in Egypt <4714>, when he smote <5062>(8800) the Egyptians <4714>, and delivered <5337>(8689) our houses <1004>. And the people <5971> bowed the head <6915>(8799) and worshipped <7812>(8691).
28. And the children <1121> of Israel <3478> went away <3212>(8799), and did <6213>(8799) as the LORD <3068> had commanded <6680>(8765) Moses <4872> and Aaron <175>, so did <6213>(8804) they.
29. And it came to pass, that at midnight <2677> <3915> the LORD <3068> smote <5221>(8689) all the firstborn <1060> in the land <776> of Egypt <4714>, from the firstborn <1060> of Pharaoh <6547> that sat <3427>(8802) on his throne <3678> unto the firstborn <1060> of the captive <7628> that was in the dungeon <1004> <953>; and all the firstborn <1060> of cattle <929>.
30. And Pharaoh <6547> rose up <6965>(8799) in the night <3915>, he, and all his servants <5650>, and all the Egyptians <4714>; and there was a great <1419> cry <6818> in Egypt <4714>; for there was not a house <1004> where there was not one dead <4191>(8801).
31. And he called <7121>(8799) for Moses <4872> and Aaron <175> by night <3915>, and said <559>(8799), Rise up <6965>(8798), and get you forth <3318>(8798) from among <8432> my people <5971>, both ye and the children <1121> of Israel <3478>; and go <3212>(8798), serve <5647>(8798) the LORD <3068>, as ye have said <1696>(8763).
32. Also take <3947>(8798) your flocks <6629> and your herds <1241>, as ye have said <1696>(8765), and be gone <3212>(8798); and bless <1288>(8765) me also.
33. And the Egyptians <4714> were urgent <2388>(8799) upon the people <5971>, that they might send <7971>(8763) them out of the land <776> in haste <4116>(8763); for they said <559>(8804), We be all dead <4191>(8801) men.
34. And the people <5971> took <5375>(8799) their dough <1217> before it was leavened <2556>(8799), their kneadingtroughs <4863> being bound up <6887>(8803) in their clothes <8071> upon their shoulders <7926>.
35. And the children <1121> of Israel <3478> did <6213>(8804) according to the word <1697> of Moses <4872>; and they borrowed <7592>(8799) of the Egyptians <4714> jewels <3627> of silver <3701>, and jewels <3627> of gold <2091>, and raiment <8071>:
36. And the LORD <3068> gave <5414>(8804) the people <5971> favour <2580> in the sight <5869> of the Egyptians <4714>, so that they lent <7592>(8686) unto them such things as they required. And they spoiled <5337>(8762) the Egyptians <4714>.
37. And the children <1121> of Israel <3478> journeyed <5265>(8799) from Rameses <7486> to Succoth <5523>, about six <8337> hundred <3967> thousand <505> on foot <7273> that were men <1397>, beside <905> children <2945>.
38. And a mixed <6154> multitude <7227> went up <5927>(8804) also with them; and flocks <6629>, and herds <1241>, even very <3966> much <3515> cattle <4735>.
39. And they baked <644>(8799) unleavened <4682> cakes <5692> of the dough <1217> which they brought forth <3318>(8689) out of Egypt <4714>, for it was not leavened <2556>(8804); because they were thrust out <1644>(8795) of Egypt <4714>, and could <3201>(8804) not tarry <4102>(8699), neither had they prepared <6213>(8804) for themselves any victual <6720>.
40. Now the sojourning <4186> of the children <1121> of Israel <3478>, who dwelt <3427>(8804) in Egypt <4714>, was four <702> hundred <3967> <8141> and thirty <7970> years <8141>.
41. And it came to pass at the end <7093> of the four <702> hundred <3967> <8141> and thirty <7970> years <8141>, even the selfsame <6106> day <3117> it came to pass, that all the hosts <6635> of the LORD <3068> went out <3318>(8804) from the land <776> of Egypt <4714>.
42. It is a night <3915> to be much observed <8107> unto the LORD <3068> for bringing <3318>(8687) them out from the land <776> of Egypt <4714>: this is that night <3915> of the LORD <3068> to be observed <8107> of all the children <1121> of Israel <3478> in their generations <1755>.
43. And the LORD <3068> said <559>(8799) unto Moses <4872> and Aaron <175>, This is the ordinance <2708> of the passover <6453>: There shall no stranger <1121> <5236> eat <398>(8799) thereof:
44. But every man's <376> servant <5650> that is bought <4736> for money <3701>, when thou hast circumcised <4135>(8804) him, then shall he eat <398>(8799) thereof.
45. A foreigner <8453> and an hired servant <7916> shall not eat <398>(8799) thereof.
46. In one <259> house <1004> shall it be eaten <398>(8735); thou shalt not carry forth <3318>(8686) ought of the flesh <1320> abroad <2351> out of the house <1004>; neither shall ye break <7665>(8799) a bone <6106> thereof.
47. All the congregation <5712> of Israel <3478> shall keep <6213>(8799) it.
48. And when a stranger <1616> shall sojourn <1481>(8799) with thee, and will keep <6213>(8804) the passover <6453> to the LORD <3068>, let all his males <2145> be circumcised <4135>(8736), and then let him come near <7126>(8799) and keep <6213>(8800) it; and he shall be as one that is born <249> in the land <776>: for no uncircumcised person <6189> shall eat <398>(8799) thereof.
49. One <259> law <8451> shall be to him that is homeborn <249>, and unto the stranger <1616> that sojourneth <1481>(8802) among <8432> you.
50. Thus did <6213>(8799) all the children <1121> of Israel <3478>; as the LORD <3068> commanded <6680>(8765) Moses <4872> and Aaron <175>, so did <6213>(8804) they.
51. And it came to pass the selfsame <6106> day <3117>, that the LORD <3068> did bring <3318>(8689) the children <1121> of Israel <3478> out of the land <776> of Egypt <4714> by their armies <6635>.

Psalm 66 This Psalm of David could well have been one that would have been sung at the time of the Passover. ( interesting as we have earlier today read of the first Passover feast.) Exo 12
Psalm 67 A prayer for the universal acceptance and recognition of the God of Israel.

67 Title. The Hebrew word “Neginoth <5058>, is elsewhere – Job 30:9, Isa 38:20– translated “song” giving us an indication that this Psalm was something that was to be sung.

Notes that are not verse specific
Mark 1 With Mark portraying Christ as the servant, we have a plain introduction as the "Son of God" In Matthew where Christ is portrayed as a king, it was necessary to show He was a descendant of David, (kingship) and of Abraham. (father of a great nation) Matt 1:1 Different roles necessitated different introductions.
John Wilson [Toronto West (Can)] Comment added in 2004 Reply to John
Mark is the second of the three synoptic (seeing together) Gospel accounts. Matthew and Luke form the other two. They view the same incidents from different vantage points. To better understand a particular event, the three Gospels should be cross-referenced.
Mark takes the aspect of the servant and equates with the Ox and Jeremiah (see note on Matt 1 for July 2).
Michael Parry [Montreal (Can)] Comment added in 2004 Reply to Michael
The first miracle Mark records is of Jesus healing a man with an unclean spirit in the synagogue at Capernaum. If you have never thought about the order in which the Gospel writers record Jesus’ actions, can I suggest that this is a central part of their narrative? We know that each writer has a theme to which he adheres, and the order he puts the events in his writing is surely important. Jesus had power over the illnesses which ordinary people could not control. He is Lord of all. And if Mark is telling of Christ as the “Servant”, this power immediately places Him next to God in power.

1. The beginning <746> of the gospel <2098> of Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, the Son <5207> of God <2316>;
2. As <5613> it is written <1125>(5769) in <1722> the prophets <4396>, Behold <2400>(5628), I <1473> send <649>(5719) my <3450> messenger <32> before <4253> thy <4675> face <4383>, which <3739> shall prepare <2680>(5692) thy <4675> way <3598> before <1715> thee <4675>.
3. The voice <5456> of one crying <994>(5723) in <1722> the wilderness <2048>, Prepare ye <2090>(5657) the way <3598> of the Lord <2962>, make <4160>(5720) his <846> paths <5147> straight <2117>.
4. John <2491> did <1096>(5633) baptize <907>(5723) in <1722> the wilderness <2048>, and <2532> preach <2784>(5723) the baptism <908> of repentance <3341> for <1519> the remission <859> of sins <266>.
5. And <2532> there went out <1607>(5711) unto <4314> him <846> all <3956> the land <5561> of Judaea <2453> <2449>, and <2532> they of Jerusalem <2415>, and <2532> were <907> <0> all <3956> baptized <907>(5712) of <5259> him <846> in <1722> the river <4215> of Jordan <2446>, confessing <1843>(5734) their <848> sins <266>.
6. And <1161> John <2491> was <2258>(5713) clothed <1746>(5765) with camel's <2574> hair <2359>, and <2532> with a girdle <2223> of a skin <1193> about <4012> his <848> loins <3751>; and <2532> he did eat <2068>(5723) locusts <200> and <2532> wild <66> honey <3192>;
7. And <2532> preached <2784>(5707), saying <3004>(5723), There cometh <2064>(5736) one mightier than <2478> I <3450> after <3694> me <3450>, the latchet <2438> of whose <3739> shoes <846> <5266> I am <1510>(5748) not <3756> worthy <2425> to stoop down <2955>(5660) and unloose <3089>(5658).
8. I <1473> indeed <3303> have baptized <907>(5656) you <5209> with <1722> water <5204>: but <1161> he shall baptize <907>(5692) you <5209> with <1722> the Holy <40> Ghost <4151>.
9. And <2532> it came to pass <1096>(5633) in <1722> those <1565> days <2250>, that Jesus <2424> came <2064>(5627) from <575> Nazareth <3478> of Galilee <1056>, and <2532> was baptized <907>(5681) of <5259> John <2491> in <1519> Jordan <2446>.
10. And <2532> straightway <2112> coming up <305>(5723) out of <575> the water <5204>, he saw <1492>(5627) the heavens <3772> opened <4977>(5746), and <2532> the Spirit <4151> like <5616> a dove <4058> descending <2597>(5723) upon <1909> him <846>:
11. And <2532> there came <1096>(5633) a voice <5456> from <1537> heaven <3772>, saying, Thou <4771> art <1488>(5748) my <3450> beloved <27> Son <5207>, in <1722> whom <3739> I am well pleased <2106>(5656).
12. And <2532> immediately <2117> the Spirit <4151> driveth <1544>(5719) him <846> into <1519> the wilderness <2048>.
13. And <2532> he was <2258>(5713) there <1563> in <1722> the wilderness <2048> forty <5062> days <2250>, tempted <3985>(5746) of <5259> Satan <4567>; and <2532> was <2258>(5713) with <3326> the wild beasts <2342>; and <2532> the angels <32> ministered <1247>(5707) unto him <846>.
14. Now <1161> after <3326> that John <2491> was put in prison <3860>(5683), Jesus <2424> came <2064>(5627) into <1519> Galilee <1056>, preaching <2784>(5723) the gospel <2098> of the kingdom <932> of God <2316>,
15. And <2532> saying <3004>(5723), <3754> The time <2540> is fulfilled <4137>(5769), and <2532> the kingdom <932> of God <2316> is at hand <1448>(5758): repent ye <3340>(5720), and <2532> believe <4100>(5720) <1722> the gospel <2098>.
16. Now <1161> as he walked <4043>(5723) by <3844> the sea <2281> of Galilee <1056>, he saw <1492>(5627) Simon <4613> and <2532> Andrew <406> his <846> brother <80> casting <906>(5723) a net <293> into <1722> the sea <2281>: for <1063> they were <2258>(5713) fishers <231>.
17. And <2532> Jesus <2424> said <2036>(5627) unto them <846>, Come ye <1205>(5773) after <3694> me <3450>, and <2532> I will make <4160>(5692) you <5209> to become <1096>(5635) fishers <231> of men <444>.
18. And <2532> straightway <2112> they forsook <863>(5631) their <848> nets <1350>, and followed <190>(5656) him <846>.
19. And <2532> when he had gone <4260> <0> a little <3641> further <4260>(5631) thence <1564>, he saw <1492>(5627) James <2385> the son <3588> of Zebedee <2199>, and <2532> John <2491> his <846> brother <80>, who <846> also <2532> were in <1722> the ship <4143> mending <2675>(5723) their nets <1350>.
20. And <2532> straightway <2112> he called <2564>(5656) them <846>: and <2532> they left <863>(5631) their <848> father <3962> Zebedee <2199> in <1722> the ship <4143> with <3326> the hired servants <3411>, and went <565>(5627) after <3694> him <846>.
21. And <2532> they went <1531>(5736) into <1519> Capernaum <2584>; and <2532> straightway <2112> on the sabbath day <4521> he entered <1525>(5631) into <1519> the synagogue <4864>, and taught <1321>(5707).
22. And <2532> they were astonished <1605>(5712) at <1909> his <846> doctrine <1322>: for <1063> he taught <1321>(5723) <2258>(5713) them <846> as <5613> one that had <2192>(5723) authority <1849>, and <2532> not <3756> as <5613> the scribes <1122>.
23. And <2532> there was <2258>(5713) in <1722> their <846> synagogue <4864> a man <444> with <1722> an unclean <169> spirit <4151>; and <2532> he cried out <349>(5656),
24. Saying <3004>(5723), Let us alone <1436>; what <5101> have we <2254> to do <2532> with thee <4671>, thou Jesus <2424> of Nazareth <3479>? art thou come <2064>(5627) to destroy <622>(5658) us <2248>? I know <1492>(5758) thee <4571> who <5101> thou art <1488>(5748), the Holy One <40> of God <2316>.
25. And <2532> Jesus <2424> rebuked <2008>(5656) him <846>, saying <3004>(5723), Hold thy peace <5392>(5682), and <2532> come <1831>(5628) out of <1537> him <846>.
26. And <2532> when the unclean <169> spirit <4151> had torn <4682>(5660) him <846>, and <2532> cried <2896>(5660) with a loud <3173> voice <5456>, he came <1831>(5627) out of <1537> him <846>.
27. And <2532> they were <2284> <0> all <3956> amazed <2284>(5681), insomuch that <5620> they questioned <4802>(5721) among <4314> themselves <848>, saying <3004>(5723), What thing <5101> is <2076>(5748) this <3778>? what <5101> new <2537> doctrine <1322> is this <5124>? for <3754> with <2596> authority <1849> commandeth <2004>(5719) he even <2532> the unclean <169> spirits <4151>, and <2532> they do obey <5219>(5719) him <846>.
28. And <1161> immediately <2117> his <846> fame <189> spread abroad <1831>(5627) throughout <1519> all <3650> the region round about <4066> Galilee <1056>.
29. And <2532> forthwith <2112>, when they were come <1831>(5631) out of <1537> the synagogue <4864>, they entered <2064>(5627) into <1519> the house <3614> of Simon <4613> and <2532> Andrew <406>, with <3326> James <2385> and <2532> John <2491>.
30. But <1161> Simon's <4613> wife's mother <3994> lay <2621>(5711) sick of a fever <4445>(5723), and <2532> anon <2112> they tell <3004>(5719) him <846> of <4012> her <846>.
31. And <2532> he came <4334>(5631) and took <2902>(5660) her <846> by the hand <5495>, and lifted <1453> <0> her <846> up <1453>(5656); and <2532> immediately <2112> the fever <4446> left <863>(5656) her <846>, and <2532> she ministered <1247>(5707) unto them <846>.
32. And <1161> at <1096>(5637) even <3798>, when <3753> the sun <2246> did set <1416>(5627), they brought <5342>(5707) unto <4314> him <846> all <3956> that were <2192>(5723) diseased <2560>, and <2532> them that were possessed with devils <1139>(5740).
33. And <2532> all <3650> the city <4172> was <2258>(5713) gathered together <1996>(5772) at <4314> the door <2374>.
34. And <2532> he healed <2323>(5656) many <4183> that were <2192>(5723) sick <2560> of divers <4164> diseases <3554>, and <2532> cast out <1544>(5627) many <4183> devils <1140>; and <2532> suffered <863>(5707) not <3756> the devils <1140> to speak <2980>(5721), because <3754> they knew <1492>(5715) him <846>.
35. And <2532> in the morning <4404>, rising up <450>(5631) a great while <3029> before day <1773>, he went out <1831>(5627), and <2532> departed <565>(5627) into <1519> a solitary <2048> place <5117>, and there <2546> prayed <4336>(5711).
36. And <2532> Simon <4613> and <2532> they that were with <3326> him <846> followed after <2614>(5656) him <846>.
37. And <2532> when they had found <2147>(5631) him <846>, they said <3004>(5719) unto him <846>, <3754> All <3956> men seek <2212>(5719) for thee <4571>.
38. And <2532> he said <3004>(5719) unto them <846>, Let us go <71>(5725) into <1519> the next <2192>(5746) towns <2969>, that <2443> I may preach <2784>(5661) there also <2546>: for <1063> therefore <1519> <5124> came I forth <1831>(5758).
39. And <2532> he preached <2784>(5723) <2258>(5713) in <1722> their <846> synagogues <4864> throughout <1519> all <3650> Galilee <1056>, and <2532> cast out <1544>(5723) devils <1140>.
40. And <2532> there came <2064>(5736) a leper <3015> to <4314> him <846>, beseeching <3870>(5723) him <846>, and <2532> kneeling down <1120>(5723) to him <846>, and <2532> saying <3004>(5723) unto him <846>, <3754> If <1437> thou wilt <2309>(5725), thou canst <1410>(5736) make <2511> <0> me <3165> clean <2511>(5658).
41. And <1161> Jesus <2424>, moved with compassion <4697>(5679), put forth <1614>(5660) his hand <5495>, and touched <680>(5662) him <846>, and <2532> saith <3004>(5719) unto him <846>, I will <2309>(5719); be thou clean <2511>(5682).
42. And <2532> as soon as he <846> had spoken <2036>(5631), immediately <2112> the leprosy <3014> departed <565>(5627) from <575> him <846>, and <2532> he was cleansed <2511>(5681).
43. And <2532> he straitly charged <1690>(5666) him <846>, and forthwith <2112> sent <1544> <0> him <846> away <1544>(5627);
44. And <2532> saith <3004>(5719) unto him <846>, See <3708>(5720) thou say <2036>(5632) nothing <3367> to any man <3367>: but <235> go thy way <5217>(5720), shew <1166>(5657) thyself <4572> to the priest <2409>, and <2532> offer <4374>(5628) for <4012> thy <4675> cleansing <2512> those things which Moses <3475> commanded <4367>(5656), for <1519> a testimony <3142> unto them <846>.
45. But <1161> he went out <1831>(5631), and began <756>(5662) to publish <2784>(5721) it much <4183>, and <2532> to blaze abroad <1310>(5721) the matter <3056>, insomuch that <5620> Jesus <846> could <1410>(5738) no more <3371> openly <5320> enter <1525>(5629) into <1519> the city <4172>, but <235> was <2258>(5713) without <1854> in <1722> desert <2048> places <5117>: and <2532> they came <2064>(5711) to <4314> him <846> from every quarter <3836>.
