Chapter 1

The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God;

Princípio do evangelho de Jesus Cristo, Filho de Deus.   

As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.

Conforme está escrito no profeta Isaías: Eis que envio ante a tua face o meu mensageiro, que há de preparar o teu caminho;   

The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.

voz do que clama no deserto: Preparai o caminho do Senhor, endireitai as suas veredas;   

John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.

assim apareceu João, o Batista, no deserto, pregando o batismo de arrependimento para remissão dos pecados.   

And there went out unto him all the land of Judaea, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized of him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins.

E saíam a ter com ele toda a terra da Judéia, e todos os moradores de Jerusalém; e eram por ele batizados no rio Jordão, confessando os seus pecados.   

And John was clothed with camel's hair, and with a girdle of a skin about his loins; and he did eat locusts and wild honey;

Ora, João usava uma veste de pêlos de camelo, e um cinto de couro em torno de seus lombos, e comia gafanhotos e mel silvestre.   

And preached, saying, There cometh one mightier than I after me, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose.

E pregava, dizendo: Após mim vem aquele que é mais poderoso do que eu, de quem não sou digno de, inclinando-me, desatar a correia das alparcas.   

I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost.

Eu vos batizei em água; ele, porém, vos batizará no Espírito Santo.   

And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan.

E aconteceu naqueles dias que veio Jesus de Nazaré da Galiléia, e foi batizado por João no Jordão.   

And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him:

E logo, quando saía da água, viu os céus se abrirem, e o Espírito, qual pomba, a descer sobre ele;   

And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

e ouviu-se dos céus esta voz: Tu és meu Filho amado; em ti me comprazo.   

And immediately the Spirit driveth him into the wilderness.

Imediatamente o Espírito o impeliu para o deserto.   

And he was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted of Satan; and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto him.

E esteve no deserto quarenta dias sentado tentado por Satanás; estava entre as feras, e os anjos o serviam.   

Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,

Ora, depois que João foi entregue, veio Jesus para a Galiléia pregando o evangelho de Deus   

And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.

e dizendo: O tempo está cumprido, e é chegado o reino de Deus. Arrependei-vos, e crede no evangelho.   

Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.

E, andando junto do mar da Galiléia, viu a Simão, e a André, irmão de Simão, os quais lançavam a rede ao mar, pois eram pescadores.   

And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.

Disse-lhes Jesus: Vinde após mim, e eu farei que vos torneis pescadores de homens.   

And straightway they forsook their nets, and followed him.

Então eles, deixando imediatamente as suas redes, o seguiram.   

And when he had gone a little further thence, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the ship mending their nets.

E ele, passando um pouco adiante, viu Tiago, filho de Zebedeu, e João, seu irmão, que estavam no barco, consertando as redes,   

And straightway he called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants, and went after him.

e logo os chamou; eles, deixando seu pai Zebedeu no barco com os empregados, o seguiram.   

And they went into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath day he entered into the synagogue, and taught.

Entraram em Cafarnaum; e, logo no sábado, indo ele à sinagoga, pôs-se a ensinar.   

And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes.

E maravilhavam-se da sua doutrina, porque os ensinava como tendo autoridade, e não como os escribas.   

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

Ora, estava na sinagoga um homem possesso dum espírito imundo, o qual gritou:   

Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.

Que temos nós contigo, Jesus, nazareno? Vieste destruir-nos? Bem sei quem és: o Santo de Deus.   

And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him.

Mas Jesus o repreendeu, dizendo: Cala-te, e sai dele.   

And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him.

Então o espírito imundo, convulsionando-o e clamando com grande voz, saiu dele.   

And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What thing is this? what new doctrine is this? for with authority commandeth he even the unclean spirits, and they do obey him.

E todos se maravilharam a ponto de perguntarem entre si, dizendo: Que é isto? Uma nova doutrina com autoridade! Pois ele ordena aos espíritos imundos, e eles lhe obedecem!   

And immediately his fame spread abroad throughout all the region round about Galilee.

E logo correu a sua fama por toda a região da Galiléia.   

And forthwith, when they were come out of the synagogue, they entered into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.

Em seguida, saiu da sinagoga e foi a casa de Simão e André com Tiago e João.   

But Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever, and anon they tell him of her.

A sogra de Simão estava de cama com febre, e logo lhe falaram a respeito dela.   

And he came and took her by the hand, and lifted her up; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them.

Então Jesus, chegando-se e tomando-a pela mão, a levantou; e a febre a deixou, e ela os servia.   

And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all that were diseased, and them that were possessed with devils.

Sendo já tarde, tendo-se posto o sol, traziam-lhe todos os enfermos, e os endemoninhados;   

And all the city was gathered together at the door.

e toda a cidade estava reunida à porta;   

And he healed many that were sick of divers diseases, and cast out many devils; and suffered not the devils to speak, because they knew him.

e ele curou muitos doentes atacados de diversas moléstias, e expulsou muitos demônios; mas não permitia que os demônios falassem, porque o conheciam.   

And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.

De madrugada, ainda bem escuro, levantou-se, saiu e foi a um lugar deserto, e ali orava.   

And Simon and they that were with him followed after him.

Foram, pois, Simão e seus companheiros procurá-lo;   

And when they had found him, they said unto him, All men seek for thee.

quando o encontraram, disseram-lhe: Todos te buscam.   

And he said unto them, Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also: for therefore came I forth.

Respondeu-lhes Jesus: Vamos a outras partes, às povoações vizinhas, para que eu pregue ali também; pois para isso é que vim.   

And he preached in their synagogues throughout all Galilee, and cast out devils.

Foi, então, por toda a Galiléia, pregando nas sinagogas deles e expulsando os demônios.   

And there came a leper to him, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him, and saying unto him, If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.

E veio a ele um leproso que, de joelhos, lhe rogava, dizendo: Se quiseres, bem podes tornar-me limpo.   

And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean.

Jesus, pois, compadecido dele, estendendo a mão, tocou-o e disse-lhe: Quero; sê limpo.   

And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed.

Imediatamente desapareceu dele a lepra e ficou limpo.   

And he straitly charged him, and forthwith sent him away;

E Jesus, advertindo-o secretamente, logo o despediu,   

And saith unto him, See thou say nothing to any man: but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing those things which Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.

dizendo-lhe: Olha, não digas nada a ninguém; mas vai, mostra-te ao sacerdote e oferece pela tua purificação o que Moisés determinou, para lhes servir de testemunho.   

But he went out, and began to publish it much, and to blaze abroad the matter, insomuch that Jesus could no more openly enter into the city, but was without in desert places: and they came to him from every quarter.

Ele, porém, saindo dali, começou a publicar o caso por toda parte e a divulgá-lo, de modo que Jesus já não podia entrar abertamente numa cidade, mas conservava-se fora em lugares desertos; e de todos os lados iam ter com ele.
