Mark 1:7-24
-
7 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.
-
8 I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost.
-
9 And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan.
-
10 And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him:
-
11 And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
-
12 And immediately the Spirit driveth him into the wilderness.
-
13 And he was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted of Satan; and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto him.
-
14 Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,
-
15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
-
16 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.
-
17 And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.
-
18 And straightway they forsook their nets, and followed him.
-
19 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.
-
20 And straightway he called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants, and went after him.
-
21 And they went into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath day he entered into the synagogue, and taught.
-
22 And they were astonished at his doctrine: for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes.
-
23 And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,
-
24 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.
