Gospel of Mark

He was there in the wilderness forty days tempted by Satan. He was with the wild animals; and the angels ministered to him.

Now after John was taken into custody, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the Kingdom of God,

and saying, "The time is fulfilled, and the Kingdom of God is at hand! Repent, and believe in the gospel."

Passing 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.

Jesus said to them, "Come after me, and I will make you into fishers for men."

Immediately they left their nets, and followed him.

Going on a little further from there, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John, his brother, who were also in the boat mending the nets.

Immediately he called them, and they left their father, Zebedee, in the boat with the hired servants, and went after him.

They went into Capernaum, and immediately on the Sabbath day he entered into the synagogue and taught.

They were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as having authority, and not as the scribes.

Immediately there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit, and he cried out,

saying, "Ha! What do we have to do with you, Jesus, you Nazarene? Have you come to destroy us? I know you who you are: the Holy One of God!"
