Book 41 Mark 41:001:001 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God; 41:001:002 As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. 41:001:003 The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. 41:001:004 John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins. 41:001:005 And there went out unto him all the land of Judaea, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized of him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins. 41:001:006 And John was clothed with camel's hair, and with a girdle of a skin about his loins; and he did eat locusts and wild honey; 41:001:007 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. 41:001:008 I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost. 41:001:009 And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan. 41:001:010 And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him: 41:001:011 And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. 41:001:012 And immediately the spirit driveth him into the wilderness. 41:001:013 And he was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted of Satan; and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto him. 41:001:014 Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, 41:001:015 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. 41:001:016 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. 41:001:017 And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men. 41:001:018 And straightway they forsook their nets, and followed him. 41:001:019 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. 41:001:020 And straightway he called them: and they left their father Zebedee in the ship with the hired servants, and went after him. 41:001:021 And they went into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath day he entered into the synagogue, and taught.
