1The good news of Jesus Christ--the Message!--begins here,

2following to the letter the scroll of the prophet Isaiah. Watch closely: I'm sending my preacher ahead of you; He'll make the road smooth for you.

3Thunder in the desert! Prepare for God's arrival! Make the road smooth and straight!

4John the Baptizer appeared in the wild, preaching a baptism of life-change that leads to forgiveness of sins.

5People thronged to him from Judea and Jerusalem and, as they confessed their sins, were baptized by him in the Jordan River into a changed life.

6John wore a camel-hair habit, tied at the waist with a leather belt. He ate locusts and wild field honey.

7As he preached he said, "The real action comes next: The star in this drama, to whom I'm a mere stagehand, will change your life.

8I'm baptizing you here in the river, turning your old life in for a kingdom life. His baptism--a holy baptism by the Holy Spirit--will change you from the inside out."

9At this time, Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan.

10The moment he came out of the water, he saw the sky split open and God's Spirit, looking like a dove, come down on him.

11Along with the Spirit, a voice: "You are my Son, chosen and marked by my love, pride of my life."

12At once, this same Spirit pushed Jesus out into the wild.

13For forty wilderness days and nights he was tested by Satan. Wild animals were his companions, and angels took care of him.

14After John was arrested, Jesus went to Galilee preaching the Message of God:

15"Time's up! God's kingdom is here. Change your life and believe the Message."

16Passing along the beach of Lake Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew net-fishing. Fishing was their regular work.

17Jesus said to them, "Come with me. I'll make a new kind of fisherman out of you. I'll show you how to catch men and women instead of perch and bass."

18They didn't ask questions. They dropped their nets and followed.

19A dozen yards or so down the beach, he saw the brothers James and John, Zebedee's sons. They were in the boat, mending their fishnets.

20Right off, he made the same offer. Immediately, they left their father Zebedee, the boat, and the hired hands, and followed.

21Then they entered Capernaum. When the Sabbath arrived, Jesus lost no time in getting to the meeting place. He spent the day there teaching.

22They were surprised at his teaching--so forthright, so confident--not quibbling and quoting like the religion scholars.

23Suddenly, while still in the meeting place, he was interrupted by a man who was deeply disturbed and yelling out,

24"What business do you have here with us, Jesus? Nazarene! I know what you're up to! You're the Holy One of God, and you've come to destroy us!"

25Jesus shut him up: "Quiet! Get out of him!"

26The afflicting spirit threw the man into spasms, protesting loudly--and got out.

27Everyone there was incredulous, buzzing with curiosity. "What's going on here? A new teaching that does what it says? He shuts up defiling, demonic spirits and sends them packing!"

28News of this traveled fast and was soon all over Galilee.

29Directly on leaving the meeting place, they came to Simon and Andrew's house, accompanied by James and John.

30Simon's mother-in-law was sick in bed, burning up with fever. They told Jesus.

31He went to her, took her hand, and raised her up. No sooner had the fever left than she was up fixing dinner for them.

32That evening, after the sun was down, they brought sick and evil-afflicted people to him,

33the whole city lined up at his door!

34He cured their sick bodies and tormented spirits. Because the demons knew his true identity, he didn't let them say a word.

35While it was still night, way before dawn, he got up and went out to a secluded spot and prayed.

36Simon and those with him went looking for him.

37They found him and said, "Everybody's looking for you."

38Jesus said, "Let's go to the rest of the villages so I can preach there also. This is why I've come."

39He went to their meeting places all through Galilee, preaching and throwing out the demons.

40A leper came to him, begging on his knees, "If you want to, you can cleanse me."

41Deeply moved, Jesus put out his hand, touched him, and said, "I want to. Be clean."

42Then and there the leprosy was gone, his skin smooth and healthy.

43Jesus dismissed him with strict orders:

44"Say nothing to anyone. Take the offering for cleansing that Moses prescribed and present yourself to the priest. This will validate your healing to the people."

45But as soon as the man was out of earshot, he told everyone he met what had happened, spreading the news all over town. So Jesus kept to out-of-the-way places, no longer able to move freely in and out of the city. But people found him, and came from all over.
