Mark 1:9–20
9 kIt came to pass in those days that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John in the Jordan. 10 lAnd immediately, coming up 3from the water, He saw the heavens 4parting and the Spirit mdescending upon Him like a dove. 11 Then a voice came from heaven, n“You are My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
12 oImmediately the Spirit 5drove Him into the wilderness. 13 And He was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted by Satan, and was with the wild beasts; pand the angels ministered to Him.
14 qNow after John was put in prison, Jesus came to Galilee, rpreaching the gospel 6of the kingdom of God, 15 and saying, s “The time is fulfilled, and tthe kingdom of God 7is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel.”
The First Disciples are Called
16 uAnd as He walked by the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen. 17 Then Jesus said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you become vfishers of men.” 18 wThey immediately left their nets and followed Him.
19 When He had gone a little farther from there, He saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the boat mending their nets. 20 And immediately He called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, and went after Him.
