Scriptures

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Mark 1
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.
²¹ They *went into Capernaum; and immediately on the Sabbath He entered the synagogue and began to teach.
²² They were amazed at His teaching; for He was teaching them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.
²³ Just then there was a man in their synagogue with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,
²⁴ saying, "What business do we have with each other, Jesus of Nazareth? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are-the Holy One of God!"
