1:1  initium evangelii Iesu Christi          1.  The beginning of the gospel of
Filii Dei                                    Jesus Christ, the Son of God;
                                             
1:2  sicut scriptum est in Esaia             2.  As it is written in the prophets,
propheta ecce mitto angelum meum ante        Behold, I send my messenger before thy
faciem tuam qui praeparabit viam tuam        face, which shall prepare thy way
                                             before thee.
                                             
1:3  vox clamantis in deserto parate         3.  The voice of one crying in the
viam Domini rectas facite semitas eius       wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the
                                             Lord, make his paths straight.
                                             
1:4  fuit Iohannes in deserto baptizans      4.  John did baptize in the wilderness,
et praedicans baptismum paenitentiae in      and preach the baptism of repentance
remissionem peccatorum                       for the remission of sins.
                                             
1:5  et egrediebatur ad illum omnis          5.  And there went out unto him all the
Iudaeae regio et Hierosolymitae              land of Judaea, and they of Jerusalem,
universi et baptizabantur ab illo in         and were all baptized of him in the
Iordane flumine confitentes peccata sua      river of Jordan, confessing their sins.
                                             
1:6  et erat Iohannes vestitus pilis         6.  And John was clothed with camel's
cameli et zona pellicia circa lumbos         hair, and with a girdle of a skin about
eius et lucustas et mel silvestre edebat     his loins; and he did eat locusts and
                                             wild honey;
                                             
1:7  et praedicabat dicens venit             7.  And preached, saying, There cometh
fortior me post me cuius non sum dignus      one mightier than I after me, the
procumbens solvere corrigiam                 latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy
calciamentorum eius                          to stoop down and unloose.
                                             
1:8  ego baptizavi vos aqua ille vero        8.  I indeed have baptized you with
baptizabit vos Spiritu Sancto                water: but he shall baptize you with
                                             the Holy Ghost.
                                             
1:9  et factum est in diebus illis           9.  And it came to pass in those days,
venit Iesus a Nazareth Galilaeae et          that Jesus came from Nazareth of
baptizatus est in Iordane ab Iohanne         Galilee, and was baptized of John in
                                             Jordan.
                                             
1:10  et statim ascendens de aqua vidit      10.  And straightway coming up out of
apertos caelos et Spiritum tamquam           the water, he saw the heavens opened,
columbam descendentem et manentem in         and the Spirit like a dove descending
ipso                                         upon him:
                                             
1:11  et vox facta est de caelis tu es       11.  And there came a voice from
Filius meus dilectus in te conplacui         heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved
                                             Son, in whom I am well pleased.
                                             
1:12  et statim Spiritus expellit eum        12.  And immediately the spirit driveth
in desertum                                  him into the wilderness.
                                             
1:13  et erat in deserto quadraginta         13.  And he was there in the wilderness
diebus et quadraginta noctibus et            forty days, tempted of Satan; and was
temptabatur a Satana eratque cum             with the wild beasts; and the angels
bestiis et angeli ministrabant illi          ministered unto him.
                                             
1:14  postquam autem traditus est            14.  Now after that John was put in
Iohannes venit Iesus in Galilaeam            prison, Jesus came into Galilee,
praedicans evangelium regni Dei              preaching the gospel of the kingdom of
                                             God,
                                             
1:15  et dicens quoniam impletum est         15.  And saying, The time is fulfilled,
tempus et adpropinquavit regnum Dei          and the kingdom of God is at hand:
paenitemini et credite evangelio             repent ye, and believe the gospel.
                                             
1:16  et praeteriens secus mare              16.  Now as he walked by the sea of
Galilaeae vidit Simonem et Andream           Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his
fratrem eius mittentes retia in mare         brother casting a net into the sea: for
erant enim piscatores                        they were fishers.
                                             
1:17  et dixit eis Iesus venite post me      17.  And Jesus said unto them, Come ye
et faciam vos fieri piscatores hominum       after me, and I will make you to become
                                             fishers of men.
                                             
1:18  et protinus relictis retibus           18.  And straightway they forsook their
secuti sunt eum                              nets, and followed him.
                                             
1:19  et progressus inde pusillum vidit      19.  And when he had gone a little
Iacobum Zebedaei et Iohannem fratrem         farther thence, he saw James the son of
eius et ipsos in navi conponentes retia      Zebedee, and John his brother, who also
                                             were in the ship mending their nets.
                                             
1:20  et statim vocavit illos et             20.  And straightway he called them:
relicto patre suo Zebedaeo in navi cum       and they left their father Zebedee in
mercennariis secuti sunt eum                 the ship with the hired servants, and
                                             went after him.
                                             
1:21  et ingrediuntur Capharnaum et          21.  And they went into Capernaum; and
statim sabbatis ingressus synagogam          straightway on the sabbath day he
docebat eos                                  entered into the synagogue, and taught.
                                             
1:22  et stupebant super doctrina eius       22.  And they were astonished at his
erat enim docens eos quasi potestatem        doctrine: for he taught them as one
habens et non sicut scribae                  that had authority, and not as the
                                             scribes.
                                             
1:23  et erat in synagoga eorum homo in      23.  And there was in their synagogue a
spiritu inmundo et exclamavit                man with an unclean spirit; and he
                                             cried out,
                                             
1:24  dicens quid nobis et tibi Iesu         24.  Saying, Let us alone; what have we
Nazarene venisti perdere nos scio qui        to do with thee, thou Jesus of
sis Sanctus Dei                              Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us?
                                             I know thee who thou art, the Holy One
                                             of God.
                                             
1:25  et comminatus est ei Iesus dicens      25.  And Jesus rebuked him, saying,
obmutesce et exi de homine                   Hold thy peace, and come out of him.
                                             
1:26  et discerpens eum spiritus             26.  And when the unclean spirit had
inmundus et exclamans voce magna exivit      torn him, and cried with a loud voice,
ab eo                                        he came out of him.
                                             
1:27  et mirati sunt omnes ita ut            27.  And they were all amazed, insomuch
conquirerent inter se dicentes quidnam       that they questioned among themselves,
est hoc quae doctrina haec nova quia in      saying, What thing is this? what new
potestate et spiritibus inmundis             doctrine is this? for with authority
imperat et oboediunt ei                      commandeth he even the unclean spirits,
                                             and they do obey him.
                                             
1:28  et processit rumor eius statim in      28.  And immediately his fame spread
omnem regionem Galilaeae                     abroad throughout all the region round
                                             about Galilee.
                                             
1:29  et protinus egredientes de             29.  And forthwith, when they were come
synagoga venerunt in domum Simonis et        out of the synagogue, they entered into
Andreae cum Iacobo et Iohanne                the house of Simon and Andrew, with
                                             James and John.
                                             
1:30  decumbebat autem socrus Simonis        30.  But Simon's wife's mother lay sick
febricitans et statim dicunt ei de illa      of a fever, and anon they tell him of
                                             her.
                                             
1:31  et accedens elevavit eam               31.  And he came and took her by the
adprehensa manu eius et continuo             hand, and lifted her up; and
dimisit eam febris et ministrabat eis        immediately the fever left her, and she
                                             ministered unto them.
                                             
1:32  vespere autem facto cum                32.  And at even, when the sun did set,
occidisset sol adferebant ad eum omnes       they brought unto him all that were
male habentes et daemonia habentes           diseased, and them that were possessed
                                             with devils.
                                             
1:33  et erat omnis civitas congregata       33.  And all the city was gathered
ad ianuam                                    together at the door.
                                             
1:34  et curavit multos qui vexabantur       34.  And he healed many that were sick
variis languoribus et daemonia multa         of divers diseases, and cast out many
eiciebat et non sinebat loqui ea             devils; and suffered not the devils to
quoniam sciebant eum                         speak, because they knew him.
                                             
1:35  et diluculo valde surgens              35.  And in the morning, rising up a
egressus abiit in desertum locum ibique      great while before day, he went out,
orabat                                       and departed into a solitary place, and
                                             there prayed.
                                             
1:36  et persecutus est eum Simon et         36.  And Simon and they that were with
qui cum illo erant                           him followed after him.
                                             
1:37  et cum invenissent eum dixerunt        37.  And when they had found him, they
ei quia omnes quaerunt te                    said unto him, All men seek for thee.
                                             
1:38  et ait illis eamus in proximos         38.  And he said unto them, Let us go
vicos et civitates ut et ibi praedicem       into the next towns, that I may preach
ad hoc enim veni                             there also: for therefore came I forth.
                                             
1:39  et erat praedicans in synagogis        39.  And he preached in their
eorum et omni Galilaea et daemonia           synagogues throughout all Galilee, and
eiciens                                      cast out devils.
                                             
1:40  et venit ad eum leprosus               40.  And there came a leper to him,
deprecans eum et genu flexo dixit si         beseeching him, and kneeling down to
vis potes me mundare                         him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt,
                                             thou canst make me clean.
                                             
1:41  Iesus autem misertus eius              41.  And Jesus, moved with compassion,
extendit manum suam et tangens eum ait       put forth his hand, and touched him,
illi volo mundare                            and saith unto him, I will; be thou
                                             clean.
                                             
1:42  et cum dixisset statim discessit       42.  And as soon as he had spoken,
ab eo lepra et mundatus est                  immediately the leprosy departed from
                                             him, and he was cleansed.
                                             
1:43  et comminatus ei statim eiecit         43.  And he straitly charged him, and
illum                                        forthwith sent him away;
                                             
1:44  et dicit ei vide nemini dixeris        44.  And saith unto him, See thou say
sed vade ostende te principi sacerdotum      nothing to any man: but go thy way,
et offer pro emundatione tua quae            shew thyself to the priest, and offer
praecepit Moses in testimonium illis         for thy cleansing those things which
                                             Moses commanded, for a testimony unto
                                             them.
                                             
1:45  at ille egressus coepit                45.  But he went out, and began to
praedicare et diffamare sermonem ita ut      publish it much, and to blaze abroad
iam non posset manifeste in civitatem        the matter, insomuch that Jesus could
introire sed foris in desertis locis         no more openly enter into the city, but
esse et conveniebant ad eum undique          was without in desert places: and they
                                             came to him from every quarter.
