Scriptures

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Mark 1
¹⁰ Immediately coming up out of the water, He saw the heavens opening, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon Him;
¹¹ and a voice came out of the heavens: "You are My beloved Son, in You I am well-pleased."
¹² Immediately the Spirit *impelled Him to go out into the wilderness.
¹³ And He was in the wilderness forty days being tempted by Satan; and He was with the wild beasts, and the angels were ministering to Him.
¹⁴ Now after John had been taken into custody, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God,
¹⁵ and saying, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel."
¹⁶ As 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 James 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 to follow Him.
