Mark 1:9-15
The Baptism of Jesus
In those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee
and was baptized by John in the Jordan. And just
as he was coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens torn apart and the
Spirit descending like a dove on him. And a
voice came from heaven, ‘You are my Son, the Beloved;
with you I am well pleased.’
The Temptation of Jesus
And the Spirit immediately drove him out into the
wilderness. He was in the wilderness for forty days, tempted by
Satan; and he was with the wild beasts; and the angels waited on him.
The Beginning of the Galilean
Ministry
Now after John was arrested, Jesus came to Galilee,
proclaiming the good news of God,
and saying, ‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of
God has come near; repent, and believe in the good news.’
