The King James Version Bible

Mark 1:16-24

  1. 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.

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

  3. And straightway they forsook their nets, and followed him.

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

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

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

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

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

  9. 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.
