Mark 1:9–20
9 aIn those days Jesus bcame from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan.
10 Immediately coming up out of the water, He saw the heavens 1opening, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon Him;
11 and a voice came out of the heavens: “aYou are My beloved Son, in You I am well-pleased.”
12 aImmediately the Spirit * impelled Him to go out into the wilderness.
13 And He was in the wilderness forty days being tempted by aSatan; and He was with the wild beasts, and the angels were ministering to Him.
14 aNow after John had been 1taken into custody, Jesus came into Galilee, 2bpreaching the gospel of God,
15 and saying, “aThe time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God 1is at hand; brepent and 2believe in the gospel.”
16 aAs He was going along by the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew, the brother of Simon, casting a net in the sea; for they were fishermen.
17 And Jesus said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you become fishers of men.”
18 Immediately they left their nets and followed Him.
19 Going on a little farther, He saw 1James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who were also in the boat mending the nets.
20 Immediately He called them; and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, and went away 1to follow Him.
